"Mr. Lu, you are Cheng Feng's friend. Since he handed over this island to you, then we will also obey your orders!"

"Hmm. Everyone, listen, everyone obeys my command!" Lu Ming saw Elizabeth's attitude, so he announced loudly to the people in the mountains.

Of course, Charlie and those Melanesians have always supported Lu Ming.

"And that includes you. Lu Ming saw that Jon and the others were just standing quietly looking at him, and walked over and patted Jon on the shoulder.

"As long as you want to stay in the mountains. will enjoy the same treatment and protection. If you want to leave here, then please leave now!" Lu Ming shouted indifferently.

Lu Ming divided the people in the mountains into four groups.

Elizabeth was in charge of leading the pirates aboard the Hades.

Her men now numbered thirty-seven.

Charles and Louis led the Melanesians into a group of twenty men.

Jon and his assistant Peter lead a group.

There were thirty people in their group.

"Mr. Lu will keep his promise to us. I think if we work hard, we will always be free and rewarded!" he promised the men.

Although some of the slaves were suspicious of this, they did enjoy food and rest as much as the Melanesians.

He Qin was appointed as the leader of the logistics team.

Responsible for the care of the wounded in the mountains, the dispatch of materials and the arrangement of daily life.

Among their men were Margaret and a dozen of the women they had singled out.

In this way, more than 100 people in the mountains were organized at once.

After the division of labor, Lu Ming immediately convened a "meeting" with several leaders and deputy leaders, and Johnson was also invited to attend the meeting.

Johnson and his mercenaries were tasked with guarding the island, and in the event of an invasion, they were tasked with fighting as a backbone and mobile force.

Elizabeth and her men lost their weapons when the Immortal sank.

In the mountains, there are hundreds of automatic weapons and a large number of bullets.

Lu Ming distributed these weapons to them and made them the main fighting force.

Those pirates were accustomed to armed warfare.

Now, they know that once the submariners come up, they will never let themselves go, so they are all prepared to fight against the water.

As for the two armored vehicles stored in the mountains. Lu Ming handed over the vehicle to Charlie and Jon each.

"I'll get you out on transport and attack missions when needed. He looked at Jon and Charlie slowly.

"There's not much water in the cave, it can last a day at most. He Qin suddenly spoke.

This is a very important situation.

There was enough food in the mountains for a few months, but without fresh water, they couldn't last three days.

"Jon, you immediately take someone to fetch water, the more the better!" Lu Ming set his eyes on Jon.

"Okay. I'll go!" Jon hesitated, then immediately called a few people to come, brought buckets, and drove the armored car to the reservoir to fetch water.

They had just come out of the mountains.

Amir and his gunners shouted excitedly.

"Submarine, submarine, it's coming up!" Lu Ming hurriedly ran to the entrance of the cave near the sea to see.

I saw a black line faintly floating on the sea a few kilometers away.

The submarine was right in front of them, unaware of the danger.

"Quick, aim for it!"

"Fill in the ***!"

Amir glared and shouted at his gunners.

"Everyone cover their ears!" Lu Ming saw that Amir was about to fire a cannon, and immediately shouted loudly.

As soon as his words fell, he heard a loud bang.

The whole mountain was shaken and dust fell.

The entire mountain was basically completely shaken.

Lu Ming turned his head to look at Amir, only to see that he was staggering against the wall and climbing up.

Amir roared loudly with his mouth open,

But no one could hear what he said.

Lu Ming understood that he wanted them to continue firing shells.

Lu Ming, who did not have the slightest military experience, placed the position of the cannon in the middle of the mountain.

As soon as the cannon fired, huge sound waves and shock waves poured into the hole and traveled down the mountain to another exit.

Because of the huge energy impact, the two gunners who fired the cannon were all shocked to the point of bleeding from their ears and noses, and collapsed to the ground.

"Quick, get up and fire!" Amir grabbed the gunners and pushed them into the gun position.

The two gunners staggered to their feet as if they were drunk.

Amir crouched on the barrel of the gun, tilted his head sideways and measured the distance and bearing of the target with his fingers, and instructed the gunner to shake the gun body and aim at the submarine in the far sea.

Lu Ming was far away from the entrance of the cave, so he couldn't see the specific situation on the sea.

He only guessed from the emir's posture and movements that the shot had not hit the target.

When the two gunners recalibrated and aimed at the submarine on the surface, the submarine was rapidly descending and heading out to sea.

In a hurry, Amir pushed the gunner away and pulled the hydrant himself.

Another earth-shattering roar.

Although Lu Ming had already prepared and blocked his ears with his hands, he was also stunned. On the top of the mountain, rubble brushes fell and hit people's heads, causing the timid people to scream that the mountain was about to collapse.

"Don't worry, everyone. The mountain is very strong. Absolutely not. Charlie, as the engineer of the construction, shouted hoarsely and loudly, calming the frightened crowd.

As soon as his words fell, another violent shaking accompanied by a puff of smoke and dust came from the side of the mountain pass.

It was the shock caused by the missile launched by the submarine when it hit the mountain cliff.

However, compared to the concussion caused by the cannon, the power of the missile explosion is insignificant.

Obviously, the precision-guided missile could not accurately penetrate through the cracks in the cliffs. Instead, a large crater was blown out of the thick rock wall.

The smoke and dust from the missile explosion obscured Amir's eyes, preventing him from aiming again.

"Drag the cannon back. Close the door. He spat out the dust in his mouth as he shouted and commanded his men.

When the explosion rumbled again, the site of the explosion was in the middle of the island.

It is conceivable that Amir's shells must have angered the people on the submarine.

In retaliation, they fired a missile bomb into the mountains.

Jon was leading a few men to pull a cart of water towards the mountain.

The missile projectile swept past his armored car and landed near the cistern. Blow a large hole next to the cistern.

The stone walls of the cistern were blown loose, and the fresh water stored in the cistern gushed out through the cracks, flowed into the nearby bunker, and eventually seeped

into the ground.

When Jon reported the situation to Lu Ming, Lu Ming was taken aback.

There are no wells or rivers on the island, and the people on the island rely on the huge cistern for their water.

Now that the reservoir has been blown up, more than 100 people in the mountains are facing the dilemma of having no water to eat.

Because the weather has been sunny.

And they hide in the mountains, and even if it rains, they can't use it at all.

"How much water do we have now?" Lu Ming asked He Qin.

He Qin's answer made Lu Ming feel a headache.

Combined with the twenty plastic buckets of fresh water that Jon and the others brought back, there were less than fifty buckets of water in the mountain.

That is, each of them has less than half a barrel of twenty-five kilograms of fresh water reserves.

This fresh water needs to be held out until they are replenished with fresh water again.

"Now we have to implement a drinking water rationing system. Each person is provided with only one pound of water a day. If the meal is porridge or soup, the drinking water is halved. Lu Ming gave his own order.

A pound of water, most of the water in a mineral water bottle.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a day of fighting with the invading submarine, the most important water supply was destroyed.

"How can this be divided? If there is too much or too little, no matter who has to scold me!" He Qin looked embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, usually the water is gathered together and locked up. Every morning I will have the group leaders come and share the water with you. Lu Ming saw He Qin's face showing embarrassment, and thought about it.

"Oh well. But let me tell you, even then, this little bit of water won't last long. ”

"I'll figure it out right away!"

At this time, the two pirates who were responsible for luring the submarine hurriedly ran back.

"Hit, hit!" they shouted as they saw the people far away.

"We hit that submarine. It can't sink!" When they ran into the hole, they were so excited that they reported to Lu Ming.

"Oh, that's great!" Lu Ming was also very excited when he heard it.

At this moment, there was another violent explosion from the entrance of the cave.

A missile exploded not far from the hole, destroying the outer protective wall several meters long.

"They must have used a satellite system!" said Johnson, who was in charge of defending the outside, running in in dust.

"Let everyone outside come in!" Lu Ming immediately ordered.

With Johnson's order, the mercenaries also poured into the mountain.

The other side used the most advanced weapons attack system to accurately attack the equipment and personnel on the island, and it seems that the damaged submarine has made up its mind not to let go of anyone operating on the island.

"We still have an exit from the sea, and they can't do anything about it!" Jon said solemnly.

Because the exit from the sea is hidden under a cliff dozens of meters high, and there is a solid rock wall to cover it, there is no way for the submarine to take here.

At this time, both Charlie and Jon were glad for Lu Ming's foresight.

Otherwise, they will be trapped in this mountain.

"All the team leaders are here, and we have to discuss the future. Lu Ming said with a deep groan.

When the four team leaders and Captain Johnson gathered around Lu Ming, Lu Ming began to explain to them in detail the situation near this mountain pass.

"Below the mouth of the mountain, there is a mountain spring. From the cliff face of the spring, you can go up to the top of the hill. He said as he drew a figure on the ground with a wooden stick.
