Rowan has been hiding here for hours.
Yes, it was the officer Rowan whom Harry Met in Weymouth. When the corpses repeatedly broke through the line and attacked the camp, he sent people to the ship in batches again and again in order to help the Muggle asylum seekers who had not been sent away as far as possible.
However, almost no one thought that the corpse came too soon. Just as Rowan was about to send the last few people to the dock, the last line of defense collapsed.
Obviously, with the strength of those enemies, as Muggles, if they go out again, it will be too dangerous. Therefore, even Rowan himself could not withdraw from Weymouth. Finally, he could only stay here with a few Muggles, which at least seemed safe for now.
But fortunately, at least there are still a lot of materials left here that can not be taken away by the retreating wizards, including a lot of food. If they save some money, it must be enough for them to live here for a long time.
Of course, only if this hiding place is not broken by the corpse.
As Muggle Rowan, they naturally don't understand what magic spells and alchemy are, so everyone has been worried for a few hours.
In order to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible, Rowan chose a storage room in the kitchen - where he hid with several others.
To tell the truth, Rowan was already ready to hide here for at least ten days and a half months. After all, even if the wizards can counterattack, it will take time! As before, Rowan was not even sure that they could really recapture the camp from the living corpses.
But what Rowan didn't expect was that just a few hours later, someone outside seemed to break in!
"Officer, listen... Is there... What's the sound downstairs?"
Suddenly, a young man of about 20 years old opened his mouth. He was also one of the people who accidentally survived the disaster that was almost desperate for Muggles.
However, this time, his luck did not seem to be as good as those who successfully boarded the ship in the previous groups. In order to allow several children and women to retreat first, he stayed until the end, but he was finally trapped in this place.
"Is there a sound?"
When Rowan, who was resting on one side, heard this, he immediately stood up and walked carefully to the door. He leaned his ear to the door, listened carefully for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed.
"It's a man! It's a man's voice!"
Rowan almost subconsciously touched his waist and pulled out his gun - there were few bullets left, and it had little effect on the living corpses. But even so, when holding the grab handle, it can bring him more sense of security and help him calm down.
"Be careful, everyone. Keep quiet."
The world is complex, whether it's Muggle society or the magic world. After contacting many wizards and learning a lot from them these days, Rowan is more and more convinced of it.
"Those who can appear here at this time... I'm afraid they are more likely to be enemies." he lowered his voice and gently reminded.
That is, after a moment, with a burst of footsteps gradually coming from the direction of the stairs, the Muggles hiding in the kitchen storage room were involuntarily nervous.
But to be honest, their tension is mainly due to officer Rowan's vigilant attitude. After all, they don't even know who it is, do they?
Closer... Closer... It seems that the visitors are checking the rooms one by one. Rowan frowned tightly, and the smooth cold sweat gradually seeped out of the palm holding the handle of the gun, which immediately tightened the string in his head.
"Click."
The kitchen door handle was turned, and the sound of footsteps extended from outside to inside. Soon, they were only one door away from the unidentified "visitor".
The power of wizards is magical and terrible. Rowan doesn't know whether the other party can detect their existence.
But now, he can only hope that the other party does not have this ability, because only in this way can they continue to hide and not be easily found - the door of the storage room has been blocked by his cupboard before, and it must be invisible to those who are not familiar with here.
"... Oh, is this the kitchen? Let me see what else."
Suddenly, the man who came in spoke, and it was still a crisp and pleasant female voice - it sounded as if the other party wanted to find some food in the kitchen.
"Oh, there are still a lot of ingredients in this cupboard! It should be able to make her a rich meal -"
Of course, no matter who the other party is, at least one thing is certain. That is... The other party obviously didn't know the hiding place in Weymouth camp. Even the kitchen was found one by one.
At this time, the young man couldn't help giving Luo Wen a look, as if asking what to do next. Looking at him, he seems more inclined to think that the unknown person outside is not a bad person.
However, Rowan just shook his head.
In any case, it is certainly not advisable for them to take the initiative to contact each other. It's rare that the other party doesn't seem to find their existence. If there is one in case, it's really too late to regret.
However, the young man did not seem to think so.
In fact, because the Muggle youth escaped to Weymouth with the help of a wizard, it can be said that the wizard saved his life. In addition, he obviously doesn't know as much about the magic world as officer Rowan. At present, he has a simple temperament. In fact, he has a great liking for wizards.
But in the final analysis, he was not the kind of person who didn't know good or bad. When he saw that Rowan didn't want to be exposed, he didn't object. However, out of curiosity about the identity of the wizard outside, he couldn't help but gather behind the door and seemed to want to hear more clearly.
However, just as he pasted the door lightly
"Da."
Perhaps his toes accidentally mentioned the door panel and made a small noise. Although the wizard outside is controlling the pots and pans, it is particularly clear in this still too quiet space.
"... who?"
At present, Ursula is the one who is cooking in the kitchen. After hearing the news, she immediately stopped what she was doing and suddenly turned her head.
"Who's there?"
She asked again, but no one answered.
