Stafford, about 25 miles south of Washington, was a wealthy county in Marin's day. Its residents benefited from jobs in major American businesses and government agencies, and the median household income was nearly $100,000 a year.

.

On the eve of the great destruction, this place had become a satellite city of the Washington metropolitan area. Of course, unlike the metropolitan area, the environment here was still elegant, with no skyscrapers or dark corners. Instead, there were beautiful villas and small, compact buildings.

, spacious streets and leisurely life.

After all, everyone is a middle-class decent person, and there is no one as miserable as the Hamilton I met in Tappahannock.

Because of this, when Marin led the team to Stafford in the afternoon, there were three or two big and small kittens here, and the most powerful one was even a spirit. Marin deliberately scanned the surroundings and found that the most difficult one here was

They were six-armed White Walkers. They didn't know what they were doing next to the ruins four streets away from them. As soon as Marin's scan arrived, they seemed to have felt it, and they quickly disappeared outside the scope of Marin's scan.

"The monsters are gone." Honor and the others were originally prepared for battle, but when they arrived, they found that there were no Chaos units lined up to welcome them.

"Yes, they are gone." Marin said as he jumped off the back of the war rhinoceros and signaled Maya to take care of the mushrooms. Then Marin walked towards the huge dog lying on the base of the statue.

Yes, Gouzi, judging from the appearance, he is still a bitch.

Spot also jumped down, but she had her opponent. A leopard appeared on a street corner not far away. It instinctively felt that humans were not its enemies, but the spot appearing on the edge of its territory put pressure on it.

As for this big dog, it should not be a pressure, there is no comparison between the two sides.

Seeing Marin coming over, the Erhak stood up, barked wildly, and then made a pounce action - it pounced on Marin.

Marin put his hand on the street light pole - he hadn't unplugged the street light for a long time.

With a sigh for the good times when he was young, Marin pulled up the street light pole and the counterweight column underneath, turned around, and the counterweight column hit the dog hard in the face with Marin's swing.

, so the attack turned into a disaster. The dog's entire face deformed in an instant, and at the same time it also flew towards the sky. After breaking free from the constraints of gravity, it finally disappeared into the horizon.

Marin threw aside the twisted street lamp in his hand, and then glanced at a leopard peeking at all this on the corner of the street.

Spot stood next to Marlin brazenly and licked his paws.

Tynor walked to Marin, glanced at the light pole on the ground, kicked it with his foot, and found that it was solid.

Marin smiled and waved, and his spiritual energy calmed the leopard. Finally, the big cat chose to run away - it instinctively felt that Marin had no enemies, but Spot stared at him, which made him feel pressured.

And when he saw the mushroom, his instinct told him that if he didn't run away, he would be killed. There was no difference between a female animal guarding her cubs and a madman.

"It's a smart big cat." Honor smiled: "Your Highness, please let me and my two companions lead a team to clean up the surrounding area."

"Go ahead and bring the flare gun. I need to contact Jason... By the way, Maya, you lead the team to tidy up the cabin."

"Leave it to me." Maya nodded, then jumped off the rhinoceros, and several girls and young people in the team followed her to the three cabins not far away.

Marin contacted Jason, who said that two hours ago, these Chaos all went north for some unknown reason. Judging from the news from the satellite, they did not appear to be coming back.

This made Marin a little curious, but since he didn't need to kill these monsters, Marin was happy and relaxed.

After Maya and the others confirmed that the cabin was safe, Maya and the two druid girls set up the camp together - tree walls created with magic and extraordinary abilities, earth elemental guards who transformed into rocks, and giant tree whistles suitable for elves.

tower.

After confirming that the nearby river was safe enough, the mage girls used magic to build a small moat.

After leaving the safety of the camp to Maya, Marin took the mushrooms to the north to have a look - during the previous scan, the White Walkers gathered together and didn't know what they were doing. This made Marin very curious, so Marin whistled and took the

The little guy who had just pulled his head out of the food bowl went out to eat.

Spot has been following Marin for a long time, and her strength is nothing compared to other monsters, so when she followed Marin to block the road, this guy would never be lazy unless he appeared in front of her provocatively like the leopard just now.

Mushrooms are so curious about everything. A few chipmunks on the roadside are not surprised by Marin's existence. They have probably not seen humans for a long time, and Marin is not as big as them at this moment.

But the presence of mushrooms still makes them run away quickly - if the cub is here, it means that its mother is also here. This kind of giant chipmunk is not afraid of mushrooms like Marlin and its cubs, but they are afraid of adult snow leopards.

Walking through two streets, I felt the tranquility here. If it weren't for the serious damage to the buildings on the roadside and the cracks in the streets under my feet, Marin seemed to have gone back to the past.

Seeing a building that was still intact, Marin walked over with the mushroom and stretched out his hand to open the door. Marin found that the buildings on the other side had completely disappeared. They disappeared into the world, leaving only devastation.

Marin walked to the wall that was still there and glanced at the TV hanging on the wall. This thing was obviously unusable, but looking at the damaged furniture and everything in front of him, Marin was still in a daze. For a moment, this

The living room has become what it was back then, everything has returned to its best time, the sofa has leather again, the water cup on the coffee table is steaming, and there are women singing in the kitchen that has become history.

Singing, the daughter of this family was walking in from the door. She couldn't see Marin and Mushroom, so she ran past the guests with her younger brother and her sister and stood in front of the kitchen.

It disappeared in an instant, and everything returned to its original state. Marin jumped up to the second floor with the mushroom in his arms. There was no one living here, and along the way, it could be seen that this area had been completely retreated.

Marin also found a stasis force field that was still working in a small room. He took out a small book from it. Marin opened the book with a paper wrapper. Although he couldn't see the cover of the book, he thought it must be there.

It will be a diary.

Open the first page.

·Professor Snape is a slovenly man. His black hair seems to have never been taken care of. This middle-aged man has never thought about how to take care of his face. Dressing up and making up are not easy for a man.

Very important, but he never seems to care.

The handwritten content on this page is all about describing the appearance of a middle-aged professor named Snape. Marin didn't know why the owner of this diary would describe a person in such a long and lengthy way. It must not be about love.

.

But it's still quite interesting. This should be the girl's diary. The girl used a very wide range of phrases when describing the professor, and there were no repetitions. This gave Marin strong confidence in this girl becoming the author of the novel - after all, she was a fake.

It was so fresh and refined that Ma Lin felt what it means to appreciate both refined and popular tastes.

Marin turned over a few pages, hoping to see something different.

·Today is the second semester. Station Nine and Three Quarters is no longer an unfamiliar term. I took my luggage back to the college and met a professor. I have to admit that he is a charming gentleman.

His long black hair was combed back and tied into a small ponytail. His energetic eyes and a pair of long-framed glasses combined to form the charming charm of a middle-aged man. His straight nose and thin pout

His lips, charming Adam's apple and black dress set off his appearance as a professor.

It looks a bit vicissitudes of life, but isn't vicissitudes of life the best proof of a gentleman? I thought to myself, this is really a charming professor, and he has a name that makes us sophomores stunned.

Severus Snape.

I think I'm in love.

Marin was silent for a moment, then tore open the wrapping paper of this small book. The actual purpose of this book was written on the cover.

Harry Potter and Professor Snape.

A completely different style of writing, with simplicity and vigor.

Marin threw the small book back into the stasis field.

Holding the mushroom in his hands, Marin jumped out of the window. The cub in his arms didn't know what happened to his new owner. Only Marin himself knew.

I'd like to pay a lot of money for a pair of eyes that haven't seen the little book just now.

………………

After finishing complaining, Marin carried the mushroom and came to the place where the White Walkers had been surrounded. This was a crossroads with nothing around. This made Marin very curious. Finally, he turned his attention to his feet.

The manhole cover appeared in Marin's eyes. With a hint of hesitation, Marin stretched out his hand and used his spiritual energy to gently lift the manhole cover.

Looking down from here, this passage is quite big, and the weight of the manhole cover is also quite heavy. After thinking about it, Marin looked at the sapling beside him. The next second, this sapling rose up from the ground and grew.

It reached the manhole cover with its arms and legs and jumped down. Then within two seconds, gunshots were heard from under the manhole cover, and the light and shadow of tracer bullets whizzed past from below.

The gunfire rang out for a while until the small tree guard spawned by Marin tied up several resisters below and dragged them out of the underground pipe.

What appeared in front of Marin was an old man, a middle-aged woman, and two and a half young men.

They wore very shabby all-match clothes, and the weapons in their hands were made of various pipes and nuts. It really made Marin curious that they could be used.

But compared to Marin's curiosity, these four survivors were almost crazy - Marin was wearing decent clothes that should not appear in their eyes at all, with beautiful little leather shoes on his feet, a hat and flat glasses on his head,

The most important thing is that he is a child, holding a monster cub, and the monster who just tied them is obedient to him.

"This is a monster! I'm going to fight him!" The old man struggled desperately, his fingers trying to pull the tab on his chest again and again, so the tree guard very considerately removed the box with the tab from

He took it away from his chest and handed it to Marin.

"Mushroom, stay close to my feet and don't go far." Putting the mushroom on the ground, Marin took the box and pulled the tab.

Oh, fish frying tool.

As the inside of the box in his hand began to work, Marin nodded, and then threw the box in his hand into the air.

The four prisoners, two big and two small, watched the box fly higher, farther, faster, and finally turned into something invisible.

Throwing the ring aside, Marin picked up the mushroom, looked at the four and first spoke in English: "Good afternoon, what are your names, which base or survivor camp do you belong to?"

In Marin's view, the appearance of these guys made Marin suddenly discover a problem - now that the world has become so dangerous, if the surface of the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation, will humans move underground?

After all, it doesn't mean that there can't be life underground, and the appearance of these people also made Marin understand one thing - people can really live underground, whether it is a subway station or a sewer, and the existence of these living people is proof.

"Zoe." The half-grown girl in the team was the first to answer.

Her peers observed her for a while, seeming to think that she would be killed for telling her name, but when Marin handed over a piece of dried meat and asked the tree guard to loosen her, the boy also chose to tell his name.

Name: "Louis."

So Marin also gave him food and gave him freedom.

The two children devoured the dried meat and looked at Marin with longing eyes.

At this time, no matter how stupid they are, they understand what is standing in front of them - just taking out dried meat from the empty air is an extraordinary ability that even they can't match.

Marin smiled and took out two cans of meat for them. After teaching them to open the cans, the black woman among the two adults who had been silent spoke up: "My name is Rochelle, Your Excellency the Extraordinary One.
