Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 1872 The Mutation of the Tide of Living Zombies
Latest website: Two full days have passed since Percy sent a team of wizards to take a boat to investigate the coast.In these two days, Harry and the others have been fighting with all the living corpses, reducing the pressure on the line of defense as much as possible.
However, the number of living corpses in the surrounding area still did not decrease at all, as if every time one was killed, another two or three would appear, making them feel exhausted.
You know, even if you squat at the door of your house and press ants with your fingers, you will be exhausted if you press it for two days and nights.Not to mention, living corpses can't be compared with ants. Now, although Harry and the others can slay ordinary living corpses relatively easily, they also have to slash their swords.
"How's the pier?"
Today, Hermione also took up the wand and the rune card, standing behind the front line to provide support for Harry and the others from time to time, so as not to cause excessive fatigue and cause them to be injured due to a momentary negligence.
However, while taking action from time to time, she also needs to pay attention to all aspects of the camp inside and outside of the camp. At present, she has left Percy to control many things, but she still needs her to coordinate on the spot.
"The Port of Granger in Cherbourg, France sent another group of people to assist in the defense, and Mr. Weasley arranged them to the side." A wizard replied from the side, "Besides... the investigation team has not yet returned. "
"Well, I see," Hermione nodded, glanced at the sides of the battle line again, and then said loudly, "Harry, Neville! You can come back... step back and rest!"
"Ok!"
After Neville responded, he didn't step back, but turned his head and shouted towards Harry:
"Harry, your physical exertion is too great, you go back first-I'll help you block it."
"No, you go back first, I can still hold it here!" Harry said without looking back, "Don't say I'm physically exhausted, you've been maintaining the Patronus Charm, but you're more tired than me!"
Obviously, both of them actually knew that in these few hours, due to fatigue, the fighting efficiency was much lower than the previous two days.The reduced efficiency of destroying living corpses directly caused them to spend more time to maintain the pressure on the defense line at a relatively stable basic line.
In this way, the battle against the tide of living corpses has fallen into a vicious circle.
"Stop fighting,You all come back to me!"Hermione immediately said loudly when she saw this, "You can leave it to me while you rest!""
"Hermione, we still—"
"Don't be long-winded," Hermione immediately interrupted, seeing Harry still trying harder, "Are you asking me to come and invite you? Don't go back and rest!"
Seeing that Hermione was going crazy, Harry and Neville looked at each other, and finally retreated from the front in the sight of some Ginny and others snickering.
After passing by Hermione and hurried back to the camp, Harry, holding the Gryffindor sword, couldn't help but whispered to Neville:
"Hermione seems to have become more grumpy today. Is it because the tide of corpses lasted too long?"
When the two returned from the defense line, they immediately attracted the attention of many wizards in the camp.However, during this period of time, Harry and the others have long been accustomed to these admiring or curious gazes, they just nodded slightly when they were passing by, and didn't care too much.
"Huh?" Neville paused, then shook his head, "I don't see it."
"Yes," Harry questioned. "Even if our current combat power can't stand it, we can still ask the Muggle army for help like the last time... It's not a desperate situation, and she won't be so anxious. ."
"Who knows!" Neville shrugged, "Anyway, I have been dating Hannah for so long, I still don't understand the psychology of girls... Anyway, just follow her!"
"Yeah!" Harry sighed, "I don't understand--"
The two were talking, and suddenly, Harry paused, then suddenly turned and looked in the direction he came.
"What's the matter, Harry?"
Neville saw that he seemed to have noticed something, and asked quickly.
"It seems that someone is coming... It's a very familiar feeling." When he said this, he waved his hand suddenly, "Navi, let's go back and have a look, hurry!"
Before he could speak, he ran back first, as fast as a gust of wind.
Neville saw that he was so anxious that he was afraid that he was half a step slower and delayed the emergency. He immediately cast the patron saint curse to call out the silver lion, and when he turned over, he flew out of the camp, leaving only the surrounding area. The wizards all watched them two leave again with awe.
...
Harry's perception this time was actually a rather special situation. Apart from him, the people like Hermione, Ginny, Hannah, etc. in and outside the camp, even on the outer edge of the defense line, have not discovered anything.
It was not until Harry and Neville quickly returned to this side that some of the wizards who had resisted the living corpses in front of the defense line vaguely saw some abnormal shadows through the fog.
"Look, what is that—"
Seeing Harry and Neville come back soon after leaving, Hermione was about to ask, but heard a reminder from a guarding wizard behind her.In the next moment, she ignored the question, turned her head and looked out again.
Indeed, even though the front of the line of defense was purely living corpses, and there was a heavy gray mist a little further away, she could still see a dark shadow in a certain direction that was different from elsewhere.It was as if there was something more in that place, and it was constantly moving and approaching.
"Hermione, Neville and I will go see."
Seeing that everyone, including Hermione, had noticed this anomaly, Harry didn't say anything at all, and just ran out.But soon, he and Neville were stopped by Hermione.
"What's the hurry, forgot what we said before? Don't be impulsive in unexpected situations...especially you! Harry, you are the first of us who needs to act calmly!"
After Hermione said a few words, she nodded at Neville:
"Let your patron saint go over and explore the situation... It's definitely not easy that the shadow can move so quickly in such a dense group of living corpses. Maybe it's a special giant living corpse, or... maybe even... It's a high-level living corpse!"
Harry and Neville, who had directly "meeted" with the lava corpse, changed their expressions as soon as they heard the word "high-level living corpse" spit out of Hermione's mouth-they weren't anything to mess with.
At that moment, Harry clenched the hilt of the sword subconsciously.
"I see," Neville turned over from the silver lion's back, then raised his wand and pointed to the distant shadow. "Come and take a look!"
While he was speaking, the lion patron saint had already dragged a long silver "tail" across the guard line and rushed straight out.
