Chapter 429 Rescue

As soon as Mike said this, the entire conference room was silent. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and no one was speechless.

In the end, it was Benjamin who took the lead. He shook his head slightly and stammered:

"I...I...I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You are so silly and cute sometimes, Benjamin. Just imagine, if we become unsung heroes like we always do, then whose head will the glory of saving Liverpool eventually fall to?"

Benjamin still shook his head with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing that Mike was helpless, he patted his forehead hard and said loudly:

"It won't fall on us anyway! Brothers! This is called good people not getting rewarded! Those in power can get a lot of praise even if they do nothing about this matter, but those of us who really do good things What? But we can only continue to hide in the sewers and be our little mice? No, I don’t want my brothers to encounter this kind of experience. I want to return to us the glory that should originally belong to us!

On the other hand, we are not just doing this just to save your hometown. Think about it, Benjamin, there must be many wizards who have had a similar experience as you, but they lack the ability, so they can only watch their hometown become a battlefield and their loved ones are in danger.

What if we let everyone know about our deeds in Liverpool at this time, and let them know that even at this moment, there are still people who are willing to risk being arrested by the Ministry of Magic to save those Muggles!

Guess what they think of us?

They will consider us heroes! Benjamin! "

Benjamin's face turned red in response to Mike's words. He panted heavily and looked directly at Mike, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

Franklin and others on the side all cast strange looks at him. In their impression, Benjamin rarely appeared in such an excited state.

"I think you should understand everything I said by now." Mike lightly hammered Benjamin's chest, "Then you set off now. The sooner you set off, the more people who can be rescued. In addition, everyone here If you want to join, you can follow Benjamin."

"Yes! President!"

Benjamin excitedly gave Mike a chest-thumping salute, and then quickly left the meeting room, closely followed by several Freemasons, including Franklin.

As for the remaining members in the conference room, they left separately after Mike announced that the meeting was officially dismissed.

Finally, the conference room became quiet again, and Mike felt a little tired. He breathed a long sigh of relief, lay back on the sofa chair and closed his eyes.

Behind him, Penelo was silently rubbing his temples.

"Are you tired?"

Penelo's soft voice reached Mike's ears. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Penelo's delicate face and said with a smile:

"Of course, too many things have happened in the past two days. But there will be more things to come, so I can only persevere."

Hearing this, Penello smiled sweetly and panted into Mike's ear:

"The hot spring in the secret realm has been built. How about we..."

Penello did not say the next words, but gently licked Mike's ear.

Mike reacted instantly. He touched Penello's little hand and said:

"You go first, I'll be back in a moment."

Penello walked away with a twist, and the smile on Mike's face slowly disappeared.

What Benjamin and the others didn't know was that besides the reasons mentioned before, the reason why he wanted them to deal with this matter in a high-profile manner was the most critical reason.

That is, he wants to let the Muggle rulers know that there is still a group of people in the wizarding world who have a friendly attitude towards Muggles.

If possible, he would like to achieve some degree of cooperation with the Muggle rulers.

Of course, all this depends on Benjamin's actions.

And just as Mike was preparing to go to the hot springs, Benjamin's plan to save Liverpool was in full swing.

In fact, Benjamin knew very well that based on his relationship with Mike, Mike would definitely agree to his request to save Liverpool, so Benjamin was already trying to prepare an antidote when the death plague in Liverpool just broke out, and things have developed now , he has also successfully cracked the plague and started mass-producing the antidote.

So, what they have to do now is actually very simple, that is, distribute the antidote to every infected person.

It's just that it's not easy to complete this last step. You have to know that there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and the same goes for people.

In a city as big as Liverpool, there must be some weirdos who are unwilling to cooperate.

So after discussing with Soraka, Franklin and others, Benjamin decided to use the rain method to throw drugs.

This method is very common in the wizarding world, especially the staff of the Ministry of Magic's memory erasure team are very familiar with it.

Generally, when encountering an incident where a large number of Muggles witness the wizard's power, they will use this method to release amnesia potions to erase everyone's memory.

However, the effect of this method is not very good, because although the rainfall spell is easy to cast, you cannot guarantee that everyone will be exposed to the rain during the rainfall.

Therefore, Benjamin and others must improve those antidotes and enhance their effects so that they still have a strong antivirus effect even after they evaporate into moisture.

Only in this way can we ensure that everyone in Liverpool can escape from the nightmare of the plague.

To achieve such an effect is actually very simple, just increase the concentration of the medicine in the rainwater.

It's just that this will cost a lot of gold galleons to purchase materials. Before Mike nodded, Benjamin had no right to mobilize such a large amount of gold galleons.

And now that Mike has nodded, they can start making more antidotes.

So, with the efforts of Benjamin and Soraka, a sufficient amount of antidote was finally completed before the early morning of the next day.

"Phew! It's finally done!" Benjamin stretched his stiff limbs and said, "Soraka, thank you, I really don't know what I would do without you!"

Hearing this, Soraka also put down the completed antidote in her hand, turned around and smiled:

"As long as I can help you, this little trouble is nothing."

"Soraka!"

"Benjamin!"

Soraka and Benjamin called each other's names, the distance between them became closer and closer, and the fire in both eyes became stronger and stronger.

Finally, their bodies were about to touch each other, but at this moment, there was a sudden coughing sound behind them.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Soraka and Benjamin bounced away at a speed several times faster than before. Benjamin turned his head and looked angrily, only to see Franklin saying with an innocent face:

"Well, I don't want to disturb you, but...but everyone can't wait any longer, so I sent me to ask about your progress."

"Okay, okay!" Benjamin angrily took off the surgical gloves on his hands, "Tell them all to come in, and we'll set off now! Go to Liverpool and have a big fight!"

As soon as he said this, a smile appeared on Franklin's face. He nodded, turned around and walked out of the laboratory quickly.

…

The next day, in the early morning of Liverpool, the sun rose slowly as usual, casting its dazzling light on this huge city.

Today is a working day, and it stands to reason that Liverpool should be bustling with people at this time.

However, the strange thing is that at this moment, Liverpool is as quiet as if someone has pressed the pause button. Not only is there not a single car on the road, but even all the shops and apartments along the street have their doors closed. .

In this city today, apart from the garbage flying in the wind, the only ones still moving around freely are probably the stray animals.

In a high-rise apartment, a tall white man was holding his seven-year-old daughter in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the hopeless city.

The little girl in the man's arms has long soft flaxen hair and is very cute.

But at this moment, her delicate face was filled with a sense of death, and under her fair skin, there were many brown objects constantly flowing.

The little girl looked out the window at the sun-filled street and stretched out her hand eagerly.

However, just this small movement made her sweat as if she had exhausted all her strength.

And the white man was looking at his weak daughter with a worried look on his face.

Just a month ago, a mysterious plague broke out in this city. After a short incubation period, the skin of the infected person's body would slowly turn brown. When the patient's skin completely changed color, will die.

On that day, local TV stations began asking everyone not to go out. But no one paid any attention to them.

No one takes this seriously. After all, living in a modern city, they are used to going their own way, and they won't stay behind closed doors just because of your little warning.

Almost everyone was convinced that this was just a minor flu that would pass quickly, but they were proven wrong.

The plague soon swept through the entire Liverpool. People still don’t even know how the plague spreads. They just know that if you have contact with a sick person, you will basically get the disease 100% of the time.

Panic began to spread.

First, everyone went out to the supermarket to buy and hoard supplies, but this behavior accelerated the spread of the plague. After the supplies in the supermarket were sold out, everyone finally followed the TV station's advice and stayed at home.

Of course, there were many people who did not believe the TV station's lies. They began to try to escape the city, but without exception, they all failed.

Because the government has stationed bands at various intersections leaving the city, all those who want to pass will be persuaded to return. If the persuasion to return is ineffective, coercive measures will be taken.

Yes, coercive measures, this is the rhetoric of the TV station, but looking at the desperate expression of the beautiful and dignified female host on the TV when she said this word, it is difficult for white men to convince themselves that those who try to resist can still do it. Come back alive.

There are many people as smart as him. At this time, everyone understands one thing, that is, the government has given up on them!

Everyone is in complete despair.

At this time, the thugs appeared.

This group of people who were not afraid of death were madly venting their anger on the streets. They smashed everything they could and robbed every store they could.

The white man and his daughter were watching all this quietly in the apartment.

But they soon discovered that the thugs also disappeared.

The white men speculated that they had all died of the plague.

He was quite happy when he came to this conclusion, but soon he couldn't be happy anymore, because he was surprised to find that some brown spots slowly appeared under his daughter's skin!

He knew very well that his daughter was infected, and he, who spent time with her day and night, must also be infected.

He was so desperate that he started smashing everything in the apartment, including the TV, refrigerator, wardrobe, sofa...

All of these became victims of his violent venting, and just when he was about to collapse completely, looking at his daughter's frightened eyes, he finally calmed down.

He picked up his daughter and stood in front of the window watching the sunrise as usual.

If nothing else goes wrong, this may be the last sunrise they watch together, because the mortality rate of this mysterious plague is extremely high. Once it develops, the patient will die within a day.

He wanted to spend the last journey quietly with his daughter, and after his daughter left, he might use another way to end his life.

Thinking of this, a sad smile appeared on the white man's face.

But at this moment, the little daughter in his arms screamed in surprise.

The man immediately woke up from the painful memories. He looked at his daughter nervously, but was surprised to find that outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the originally bright sunshine had completely disappeared without knowing when, and dark clouds were rolling in the sky. , it looks like it’s going to rain soon!

The white man breathed a sigh of relief. He was not surprised at all by this sudden change in weather. You must know that this is the country of Yu, and it is still summer. It is not surprising at all that the weather has changed so drastically.

But his daughter was obviously very interested in this change in weather. She stretched out her hands to support the glass, her big eyes full of curiosity.

Soon, the raindrops fell.

Different from the common showers in summer, this was a downpour, and the dense rain curtain almost became one in the sky, as if God accidentally knocked over his kettle.

As the rain got heavier, the little girl's reaction became more intense.

She was seen pulling the handle of the window hard, trying to open the window, but she was so weak that she couldn't open the window at all.

The white man witnessed all this and struggled in his heart. Finally, he finally made up his mind.

Since it is already the last day, it is better to fulfill all the wishes of your child!

With this thought in mind, the man gritted his teeth and opened the heavy glass door!
