Speaking of which, the team composed of Lu Ping, other members of the old Order of the Phoenix and personnel dispatched by the Blois family, whether it is the landing point chosen or the direction of travel, are actually the same as the previous team from the American "Masonry Workshop"

There isn't much difference.

Although there is obviously no similarity in their plans, the destination chosen after entering this disaster place is the same, which is London, the former Muggle capital of Britain.

However, these two marching routes seemed to be similar, and all the personnel were equally cautious. However, their experiences along the way were completely different.

Although it may not be easily described as "lucky", compared with the Stewart team that suddenly encountered an enemy shortly after marching and was almost completely destroyed, the road ahead for Lupine and his friends seemed to be smooth!

There were no zombies suddenly blocking the road, no blood and curses flying everywhere, no thrilling and desperate battles, and no narrow escape from death - not to mention the dead wizards in the stonemasonry workshop, even those who were close to death.

None of the dangers experienced by John Stewart when he was alive had befallen Lupin and his team, as well as the Blois family team.

Everyone has indeed discovered many living corpses more than once, some in deserted cities, some on rural roads and in the wilderness. It is unclear whether they are vigilant enough or there are some.

For some other reason - at least no one obviously wanted to try to find out - in short, they were avoided by them without any danger every time.

Until about noon on the third day, this large team of members of the old Order of the Phoenix, headed by Lupine, and the wizards of the Blois family, headed by Rocky Blois, joined hands with each other.

In such a state, he successfully arrived in the area of ​​​​the outer suburbs of London in the past...

"Lupin, how's the map doing?"

On the roadside, Kingsley, who had just led people to investigate the surroundings, walked back to Lupine, who was resting on the same spot and tinkering with the new Marauder's Map with his head lowered. He looked at the latter holding the map in one hand and speaking.

Holding the wand lightly in your hand, place the tip of the wand against the map and keep drawing it back and forth.

"Of course there is nothing wrong with the map itself. You know, it was originally made on the basis of Muggle maps. The only problem lies in the setting of the 'Marauder' - for the time being, I took the living corpses I have encountered along the way.

Their positions are all recorded, but after all they are just 'dead'... If you want to make them 'alive', manual recording alone is not enough."

As Lupine spoke, he immersed himself in dotting the map for a while, then waved his wand to refold the map and put it in the pocket of his robe.

Then, he pushed his knees up and stood up from the broken piece of wood that served as a stool. He patted his pants and asked:

"There are no enemies around here?"

Upon hearing this, Kingsley immediately shrugged at him, giving him a silent affirmation.

Yes, although I have indeed encountered several living corpses along the way, in terms of quantity, there are even a lot every time. But in general, it is still "too few". These people have all been

Those who had personally experienced the back-and-forth resistance war from the UK, and learned the details of several waves of zombies afterwards, knew very well the actual number of those terrifying guys - that was definitely not what they had seen along the way recently.

those that can be compared.

"Those living corpses...what happened to them now?"

Lu Ping frowned, looked around and murmured to himself. The withered trees, plants and building ruins could no longer hide anything. At a glance, there was only the unchanging desolation and silence, and... what also made him feel confused and uneasy, was the standing tree.

It turned out to be the inexplicable "Pillar of Babel" that was supposed to be heading towards London.

"Sure enough, is it also related to the appearance of the 'Lord of the Living Corpses'?"

"It's very possible," Kingsley took off his hat and touched his bald head, looking at the strange pillar in the distance and said, "Although 'it' didn't seem to be mentioned in detail at the time, since it can already represent a living corpse

Coming forward to negotiate means that it should have gathered most of the living corpses at least at that time. And now... maybe even the groups of living corpses we recorded before have been under his control for a long time.

Already."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ping looked around at the other people who had gradually gathered, and then he couldn't help but sigh:

"In other words, if we can come here safe and sound like this, we probably have to thank 'it'?"

"Maybe it's not a bad thing." Kingsley still remained calm, looking at him and said slowly.

"I hope so!" Lupine thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now...More than these, what I want to know more about now is the situation on Harry's side. After all...it's been

It’s the third day!”

Although Lu Ping had been telling himself not to think too much before he set foot on this disaster area, the calm and boring days still made him unable to help but worry that was piling up in his heart.

And even if he is like this, others are naturally like this, especially Arthur, who came from the refugee community in France to participate in this trip. His two children, Ron and Ginny, may be on that maritime battlefield.

Father, after the initial determination was gradually worn away by the overly smooth journey, how could he still suppress the uneasiness in his heart?

After all, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity this time to come over and try to confirm the safety of the children with his own eyes - for his wife Molly, and for himself.

After another few minutes of silence, when the reconnaissance team sent by Rocky Blois returned and made a brief report, Lupine, who learned that they had also gained nothing, finally raised his hand and waved solemnly.

Rong said:

"Then keep on your way!"

Although the calmness along the way did make people feel strange, in fact, Lupine and Bill were not unprepared for such a situation. They just cut off contact with Harry and others after entering here, and it was not that they did not know that they agreed.

I came here with the cooperation invitation from the "Lord of the Living Corpses". To put it bluntly, anything is possible on this trip.

Everyone who set foot on the road to downtown London again was the same as they had been in the past three days. Once they started to hurry, they were no longer distracted. Even though there seemed to be no danger along the way, even Lupine and Kingsley were still worried about it.

There are some guesses here, but caution is still the biggest principle that will not change.

As they gradually penetrated into the outer suburbs of the town, the number of living corpses suddenly increased, making them realize that it had become difficult to move without even realizing it.
