Dawn should have been full of vitality.
When the sun pokes its head from the East and sprinkles the first ray of sunshine on the world, the orange light spreads all over the field of vision and outlines the hazy virtual shadows of the buildings still immersed in the night fog in the distance.
The morning dew slowly falls on the grass leaves in the countryside, reflecting intoxicating colors with the sun.
Yes, in fact, all this has not changed so much - at least not as much as people think. The tenacity and persistence of nature can never be easily destroyed by one or two people like Haier Bo.
However, when Sirius leaned against the roof and looked at the fog shrouded London in the distance... All he could feel was boredom and desolation.
Apart from the regular patrol time, he seems to have been on the roof for almost half the night. He watched the whole world sink into the night, and then gradually lit up by the sun, until now it's time for a new day.
At this moment, he suddenly saw several black spots in the distance, which suddenly appeared in his sight and slowly enlarged towards him.
The last patrol team flew back from the established route.
"Ha -"
Suddenly raised his arms, Sirius stretched out and sighed long at the same time. He didn't sleep for another night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. Only a kind of heartfelt fatigue made his body more or less weak.
By the way, I didn't even see a corpse outside the fog that night.
"It's time to change shifts... After going outside for a turn, send a letter to Maka and lupin and report on the current situation!"
While talking to himself, Sirius opened the skylight next to him, supported the roof with one hand, and jumped back into the attic below.
It may be because he has been practicing Animagus form all the year round. At present, even in human form, his movements when landing are also very light and hardly make any sound.
Of course, this is mainly because there are players downstairs resting. He doesn't want to wake up those colleagues in the Ministry of Magic who can hardly take a nap because of his loud movement.
"Shh -"
When several owls living in the attic saw him coming down, they were about to chirp, but he stopped them immediately.
"You can also have a rest," Sirius whispered to the owls standing on the back of the chair and the wooden table. "When I go out, you will have work to do when I come back!"
As soon as the clever owls heard it, they stopped talking. They just tilted their heads and blinked their big round eyes and looked at him quietly.
"By the way... Good morning."
While talking, Sirius kept walking under his feet and quickly walked down the next stairs.
"Goo?"
After his figure disappeared, the owls gathered together and whispered a few times, as if they were discussing who should do the "work" for a while.
After a while, the attic was completely quiet again.
But who knows, whether it's Sirius or owls, the sweet whispers are in vain.
Because soon, there was a loud bang downstairs, which woke up all the team members who were taking a nap.
"What's the matter?"
Sirius, who had just reached half of the stairs, heard the movement below, immediately stopped controlling his footsteps and stepped up and ran down.
When he rushed downstairs in a hurry, he saw that the team members who had just returned from the patrol were putting two wounded people covered with blood on one side of the old sofa.
"Both of them are survivors," the leader of the team quickly replied. "They escaped before sunrise and at the darkest time of the day... According to the lady with relatively minor injuries, they had been hiding in the cellar until now. They had not been injured, but they couldn't go out to look for food because they had eaten all the food... And then they were attacked."
"Yes."
Sirius nodded thoughtfully while watching two teammates who were good at healing the spell give first aid to the two injured.
"Injured and can't be cured, so... Did you run out?"
"Although I fainted without talking about this, maybe that's it!" the captain nodded and then said, "then, in fact, this is not the most important... She said that there were survivors in the cellar!"
This sentence made Sirius frown.
Maka has told her that it's OK to patrol outside the fog, but if you have to, don't step into the fog as much as possible.
Even though Marka did not absolutely forbid these patrol teams to enter as she ordered those alienated eight eyed giant spiders, she knew how high Marka's risk assessment in the fog was.
"Is this an extraordinary situation?"
The captain said and couldn't help looking back at Sirius - although they are nominally the captain of the patrol team, Sirius is mainly responsible for their command.
However, it can be seen that the other party actually wants to save the remaining survivors in the past.
"Well... It should count!" Sirius frowned. "One of our tasks is to rescue the survivors who may still be alive, isn't it?"
Having said that, it is obvious that he has to bear not only the lives of the survivors, but also the lives of nearly 20 members of his three patrol teams.
Now to enter the fog of what Maka calls "extreme danger", he must consider the possibility of total military annihilation.
"We can only go to one team," he thought. "The rescue operation is limited to one time - if we don't come back in an hour, we'll report the actual situation to spiral town immediately."
With that said, Sirius turned to say:
"The dead didn't appear all night. The periphery should be safe... By the way, did the lady say where the cellar they were hiding in?"
"Near myazfils Park," the other party said immediately, "to be honest, it's a little far from here... It's already a relatively deep place in the fog area."
"It's hard for them to run out."
Sirius said, looked at the two injured people being rescued again, and couldn't help sighing a little.
From their costumes, it can be seen that the more seriously injured of the two women seems to be a wizard, while the other should be a Muggle.
It's hard to imagine that they can escape from such a deep place, even looking at those serious injuries, based on their experience along the way.
"Damn Haier bo... Damn disaster!"
