Chapter 237: Crisis on the Island

"Lu Ming. I want to talk to you. Bai Xiaoyi stepped forward.

"Xiaoyi, I'm very busy right now. If you have anything, we'll talk about it later. ”

"Lu Ming, are we still husband and wife now?" Bai Xiaoyi was a little sad when she saw Lu Ming ignoring her.

"Hmm, Xiaoyi, of course we are husband and wife. Don't think about it. ”

"Since we are husband and wife, what is there between us that we can't sit down and talk about?"

"Lu Ming, is there a crisis on the island?"

"Well, yes. ”

According to Cheng Feng's message to him in the chip, Lu Ming knew that he was being followed by a powerful force.

Although Cheng Feng said it easily, Lu Ming understood Cheng Feng.

He has always reported good news but not bad news, and he wants to carry it himself when the sky falls.

He could hide Bruce's innocent and simple Melanesian crew, but he couldn't hide Lu Ming.

Lu Ming could imagine that the other party must have strong firepower and troops.

Once Cheng Feng retreated to this island, a few guns alone would not be able to resist them at all.

He had to build a strong fortress for Cheng Feng in the shortest possible time.

This makes this island not only serve as a logistics base for the Hades to supply fresh water and food, but also rely on this island to defend against strong enemies.

When Bai Xiaoyi listened to Lu Ming's words, she realized that she had wrongly blamed him.

"Lu Ming, I also want to help you do something. ”

"No, I just want you to be well. When I cut down those behind-the-scenes hands, I will accompany you well. Lu Ming looked at Bai Xiaoyi seriously.

"Lu Ming, you are so good!" Bai Xiaoyi couldn't help but hug Lu Ming tightly and buried his head deep in his broad chest.

A series of forceful measures taken by Lu Ming aroused the disgust of others on the island.

The first one to jump was Martin.

He had thought he had finished moving the stones. Unexpectedly, the cave continued to extend into the depths.

A large number of stones were transported out of the cave, waiting for him and the pirates to be transported to the docks.

"Boss, I'm quitting. It's going to exhaust us!" The pirates shouted angrily as they looked at the blood blisters on their hands.

"Hmph, do you think I'm willing to move stones? Lao Tzu is a pirate, a pirate!" Martin also gritted his teeth and scolded to the place where Lu Ming lived.

But he didn't jump out to protest.

Because on the construction site, Johnson and his soldiers were guarding them with guns on their backs.

It can be seen from their eyes that they are veterans who have experienced actual combat and killed people.

He set his sights on the newly recruited laborers.

Those were young and middle-aged, and some of the men had not tasted the hard labor on the island, and they were still measuring their situation by the rules of the civilized world.

In their eyes, there was indignation and hatred.

"Hey, find a way to get them to do something!" Martin winked at a few of his men.

The pirates immediately understood.

While pretending to work hard, they are looking for opportunities to build relationships with those people.

"We were also caught. They were so vicious that they heard that if we finished the work, they would throw us all into the sea to kill us. The pirates said decently.

This rumor quickly spread among the laborers.

And Charlie and the simple Melanesians don't know the inside story. Just according to Lu Ming's request, he desperately blew up the stones, and then urged those newcomers to move the stones out.

In the eyes of the new slaves, Martin and the pirates were their own.

They already had their own leaders on the voyage.

At this time, the leaders of the slave laborers took the opportunity of loading stones to quietly contact Martin and others.

"We must get out of this island, or we'll all die here!" said the slave leader to Martin with a grim face.

"However, we don't have boats, and there are no shipping routes near this island, so we haven't seen any ships or planes since we got to the island. Martin said with a look of helplessness.

"Then we'll have to kill the ruler of this island. Leader Jon said.

He was a man in his twenties.

He was not burly, but because he was able to sacrifice himself to help others, he was respected and supported by those slaves.

"Shhhhh

"They have guns, and if they find out that we have eyebrows, they will kill us first. Martin shook his head in embarrassment.

"When our people were blasting, they hid some **. Jon frowned, staring at Martin with blue eyes in deep sockets to see how he reacted.

"Ah, that's great! what are you going to do?" asked Martin, surprised.

Then, feeling a little inappropriate, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my men and I will do our best to help you." As long as Lu Ming and his mercenaries are eliminated, this island will be ours. They have boats coming here on a regular basis, and we can get out of here!"

"Hmm. Jon nodded.

By this time he was convinced that Martin was just as miserable as they were.

At this time, Johnson noticed that they had been talking, so he walked over to the few of them with a blue face.

"Let's get to work. We'll get back to you later. Seeing that something was wrong, Martin hurriedly pushed the heavy car and walked towards the dock.

When the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly.

At this time, Margaret banged on the iron basin and began to call these people back for dinner.

Jon was pleasantly surprised to find that they had been separated from Martin.

Although the house that used to live a few people now has to accommodate more than twenty men covered in stinky sweat. But they didn't feel anything wrong, but felt that it was a godsend.

That night, Martin and Jon huddled together and discussed most of the night. It wasn't until dawn that they closed their eyes and slept for a while.

Eliza was not allowed to board Bruce's cargo ship.

When Bruce heard that she wanted to leave here by boat without Lu Ming's consent, he very politely but resolutely blocked her on the gangplank to get on the boat.

"Eliza, come back with me. After Bai Xiaoyi learned the truth of the matter from Lu Ming, she first thought of her good best friend.

She took Eliza's arm and tried to pull the stubborn girl back.

"Bai Xiaoyi, you are too kind. ”

"I won't go back, even if you won't let me leave the island. No matter how good your reasons may be, I will not go back. After Eliza finished speaking, she put on her backpack and walked to the side of the airliner.

Bai Xiaoyi saw that Eliza insisted on leaving, and knew that she couldn't be dissuaded for the time being, so she had to let her own way.

In addition, Johnson's mercenaries are stationed on the side of the passenger plane, and the safety is still very guaranteed.

"Johnson, tell your people that Eliza is a good friend of mine, and you must be polite and respectful to her when you see her, and if she needs help, don't ask me, just help her. He called Johnson and explained.

"Okay, Mr. Lu. Johnson saluted Lu Ming.

The construction on the island is progressing quite smoothly.

Because Charlie was an experienced engineer, and the Melanesians were now skilled quarrymen.

At the top of the hill, a fort is under construction.

The cement that Bruce brought this time came in handy.

The blasted stones, large chunks, were left behind, piled up around the position, a meter thick, and plastered with cement mortar.

Johnson believed that even an ordinary shell hitting such a wall would not collapse it.

He used to be an artilleryman, so he was very good at how to lay out positions.

And after Bruce finished unloading the goods, he was going to say goodbye to Lu Ming.

"I'll describe the situation here to the boss and he'll be happy. Bruce happily beckoned to Lu Ming, who was seeing him off.

At the send-off banquet, Lu Ming had already expressed his hope that Cheng Feng would come back.

Everything seems normal on the island.

The laborers seem to have adapted to the environment.

They even joked with Margaret when they gathered in the cafeteria and thanked her for preparing nutritious and generous food for them.

Bai Xiaoyi went to find Eliza twice.

But she all ran into her near the vegetable garden. It wasn't found out that she actually lived in a treehouse.

"Thank you, I'm living well here. There are vegetables in the garden, and I know what else to eat on the island, so I don't have to worry about it. Eliza didn't appreciate Bai Xiaoyi's invitation. This made Bai Xiaoyi feel very sad.

However, she suddenly found that on the construction site where Jon was, the amount of ** used was not right.

"I clearly remember Charlie's construction time, and he didn't make so many **s***!"

She found Lu Ming and told him about the situation.

"How much do you think ** should be missing?" Lu Ming asked.

"Probably twenty or thirty kilograms!" He Qin said.

"Oh?" Lu Ming also felt that the matter was a little serious after hearing this.

The ** that Cheng Feng brought back ** are all military**. It's very powerful to use.

Twenty kilograms**, enough to blow up a cave.

He believed in He Qin, this woman has always been very careful. And since she was in charge of the island's logistics, she has always remembered the amount of supplies clearly. The inventory is clear.

"He Qin, I know. Lu Ming looked at He Qin approvingly and said.

"I suspect it was the new workers who stole it. Because they came

The next day, I realized that something was wrong. That thing can't be eaten, so what are they stealing it for?"

"Hmm. He Qin, I see. But don't publicize this matter for now. ”

"Well, I'll go back to the cave tomorrow. Charlie said.

Because the general structure of the fort has been built, all that remains is to build a protective wall and a communication trench with stones.

The matter has finally been clarified.

It's just that the whereabouts of those ** were not found out by Charlie, but discovered by Eliza.

That night, she was resting in the treehouse.

Suddenly, I heard someone whispering under the tree.

"They've already found out about explosives. We must act before they do anything!"

"Are you all ready? In the early hours of the morning, we will work in two ways at the same time!"

"Peter, you lead men to attack the barracks. I went with the others to end up with that mysterious guy. ”

"Everyone else can die, the doctor and that Charlie should stay. ”

"No, we can't keep them. Except for our people, there is not a single living mouth!"
