The next day, Jon and the others quickly finished breakfast and took the initiative to take their tools to the construction site.

On this day, they were working twice as fast as the previous day.

Maybe they are using this way to show Lu Ming their tame attitude.

The cave was quickly opened.

The exit at the other end is the cliff crack above the lake where Lu Ming had caught fish on the island before.

From here, they can easily monitor to the other side of the island.

Moreover, since it is a large cliff with natural cliff crevices, it is impossible to see from the outside that there is a tunnel mouth that has been artificially hewn out there.

It was only at this time that Lu Ming's heart fell slightly.

Although he had not learned much military knowledge, he knew instinctively that if the island was invaded, most of the people would have to take refuge in caves that were used as reserves.

But once the enemy blocked the exit of the warehouse, even though they had plenty of food to use, they had no water source and they ended up trapped inside.

Now, with another exit, if something unusual happens, they can attack and retreat, and the strategic meaning is completely different.

On the day the cave was opened, he deliberately asked Margaret to kill a goat and prepare a lot of food to celebrate.

"I think I should thank you for your efforts! And there will be a price to pay for. Lu Ming participated in that feast for the first time.

He took his glass and said to the slaves.

Facts have proved that Lu Ming's decision was right.

The third day after the construction and opening of the cave.

The mercenaries in charge of monitoring the sea reported that ships had been spotted on the surface of the ocean.

Lu Ming immediately became alert.

He climbed along the trench to the top of the hill and picked up his binoculars to look in the direction of the incoming ship.

"It's the Hades!" he made a judgment after observing the ship's appearance.

According to Bruce, Chen Feng has been trying to expand his influence and is working hard to build his fleet and transportation network.

At this time, the Hades suddenly headed towards the island, which completely violated his goal.

"He Qin, immediately let the women all withdraw into the cave. He picked up the phone and said to He Qin, who was in charge of logistics.

"Good. He Qin was used to this tense situation.

She had said before she came to the island that it would be discovered sooner or later.

So psychologically, she was prepared.

"Uncle, Chen Feng is back, why are you so nervous?" Lin Huan asked in surprise.

"I suspect it's not him on board. Lu Ming said calmly.

"Ahh

"Lin Huan, let's go into the cave. Eliza took her hand and motioned for her to follow the crowd and hide.

Johnson and other mercenaries also climbed the fort and stood by for battle.

Lu Ming used the telescope to carefully observe the rapidly approaching Hades.

Nor did he expect his guesses to be true.

However, there is no sign on the Hades to identify himself.

"Ask about the identity of the ship!" Lu Ming said to Johnson when the Hades approached the island less than ten kilometers.

"Yes!" Johnson agreed. Immediately have your communications corps use the radio to call the incoming ship.

However, there was dead silence on the Hades.

"There's a chance their radio station is broken!" Johnson said.

This made Lu Ming feel the seriousness of the matter more and more.

"Aim the muzzle of the gun at the Hades and stop the ship from approaching. Lu Ming ordered.

"Yes!" Johnson glanced at Lu Ming hesitantly, and then ordered the gunners to aim at the Hades.

"Release!" and with his command, a cannonball struck the front of the Hades. Exploded into a sky-high column of water.

But the Hades still had no intention of stopping.

"Keep warning!" Lu Ming's face became more and more gloomy.

Johnson fired three more shells, one closer to the Hades.

The Hades finally drew a circle, facing the island with its side facing in a friendly gesture.

"Mr. Lu, it's our people!" Johnson reminded Lu Ming.

Because of this gesture, the shore defense artillery could already easily hit the narrow clipper.

"Wait!" Lu Ming did not relax.

He continued to stare at the Hades, unable to tell friend or foe.

At this moment, a dinghy was lowered from the Hades, and several descended to the dinghy and sailed towards the beach dock of the island.

"Order the people defending the coast to pay attention, and if they find that the dinghy is suspected of beaching, attack them immediately!" Lu Ming said solemnly.

On either side of the open beach, two mercenaries are guarded.

They were armed with the latest anti-materiel and a heavy machine gun, enough to smash that small boat into the sea.

Johnson had a look of contempt on his face.

However, what happened next left him dumbfounded.

In the direction of the boat, the sea suddenly churned. A black ridge nearly 100 meters long emerged from the sea.

"Boom-" With a violent explosion, the dinghy broke in two with black smoke and sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Submarines, submarines—" Johnson shouted silently to the soldiers guarding the battery.

The black spine continued to rise, and the huge hull could be seen gradually.

"Fire on the submarine!" Lu Ming ordered with a frown.

"No, we have to evacuate here! There are missiles on the boat!" Johnson finished speaking, grabbed Lu Ming, and said nervously.

"Open the gun!" Lu Ming shook his hand and shook off the mercenary captain.

"No, Mr. Lu. We will not carry out your orders. After Johnson finished speaking coldly, he waved his hand to several mercenaries guarding the fort and withdrew from the position first.

Lu Ming knew that he was justified in doing so.

Because they are only in it for money, and they have no faith or loyalty to speak of.

Moreover, he also admitted that Johnson's judgment was well-founded.

Although the shells could damage the hull of the submarine. But as soon as the radar on the submarine locks on the position of the battery, it immediately launches the opposite shore **, completely destroying the targets that may threaten safety.

However, he had already guessed the fate of the Hades.

Chen Feng must have encountered a very urgent crisis.

The Hades was escorted by the submarine to find the island.

If this submarine is not removed, I am afraid that the lives of all the people on the Hades will be in danger.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, ran to the gun position, pushed dozens of pounds of shells into the gun chamber, and then followed the example of those mercenaries and aimed at the submarine lying horizontally by the sea.

When installing the artillery, Lu Ming had seen how those mercenaries demonstrated the process of aiming and firing the cannon.

At this time, he shook his eyes and slowly aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the submarine.

"Die!" he cursed inwardly, then pressed the firing device.

"Bang-" As a wave of air rolled, a *** spin flew towards the submarine a few kilometers away.

Just the next moment when the shells were fired.

A puff of green smoke rose from the submarine, and an anti-aircraft ** rose vertically from the back of the submarine, and then plunged headlong into the shell, and intercepted and destroyed it.

"Damn!" Lu Ming didn't expect this submarine's defense capability to be so strong, and he scolded secretly. I turned around and ran down the hill along the traffic trench.

As soon as he ran out of the fort, he felt a fierce fire rise behind him, and the tumbling air wave knocked him to the ground.

An attack missile exploded precisely on the battery, sending the gun flying along with the newly built fortifications.

Lu Ming only felt that the sky was like a stone rain.

Instinctively, he curled up, clinging to the wall of the traffic trench, and covered his head with his arms.

When the buzzing in his ears died down and he could hear it again, he heard only a few cannon shots on the sea, followed by a continuous burst of explosions.

"Not good!" he struggled to climb up the fiery fort and look down the hill.

I saw that on the sea, the Hades was burning with fire.

The hull of the Immortal has been blown in two and is rapidly sinking into the sea.

And the submarine, like a huge shark, slowly circled around the Hades, and gradually sank into the water.

The loud explosion also shocked the rest of the island.

They saw the sinking of the Hades through the coast-facing end of the cave, and they all looked at each other.

"What the hell is going on, Mr. Chen, they were attacked by the army?" Charlie squeezed out of the crowd and asked Bai Xiaoyi eagerly.

"I don't know. Bai Xiaoyi said as calmly as possible.

"Is it here to save us?" Jon exchanged a look of surprise with the captured slaves.

However, they were taken by Lu Ming's majesty and did not dare to show their joy.

"Where is Lu Ming? He hasn't come back yet!" In the chaotic cave, Bai Xiaoyi used the light above her head to sweep her eyes over the people in the cave one by one, looking for Lu Ming.

"He's fine, and the best thing we can do now is to stay here in peace. He Qin stopped her and said.

"Everybody was quiet. Don't run around, there is a war outside, we can't be chaotic inside. He Qin craned his neck and shouted to the people in the cave.

"yes. Don't panic, everybody. We would have been safe to stay here. Bai Xiaoyi took a deep breath and knew what she should do at this time.

Charles and Louis, the leader of the Melanesians, also gradually calmed down.

"We're all quiet, and our Mr. Chen will be fine. On the island, Mr. Lu Ming can also protect us. "They instructed their men to move down some wooden boxes. Then sit in the hole.

Seeing this, Jon also asked the slaves to move the boxes and sit down.

Only Christian was still looking out anxiously through the hole where he could see the sea.

This cave was expanded under Lu Ming's initiative, and the cave runs through the entire middle of the hill.

At one end of the island, there is a section that is more than three meters high, more than five meters wide, and more than 20 meters long. The ground has been paved, and on both sides of the cave wall, there are high stacks of various daily necessities.

The section that continues to the sea is more than two meters high and more than two meters wide at its widest point.

The openings at both ends are equipped with heavy iron doors.

On the periphery of the cave at the inner end of the island, there is also a protective wall more than one person high.

As a result, the cave is now the strongest fortification on the island.

The rocks of the mountain tens of meters thick protect the people in the cave, and even if the nuclear ** strikes, I am afraid it will not be able to destroy this place.

Lu Ming had long planned to use this place as his ultimate refuge, so he stored a large amount of diesel fuel in the cave for power generation and other daily purposes.

He originally wanted to dig a large reservoir in the cave, but due to the tight construction schedule, Charlie and others were busy digging through the cave, so the reservoir was not constructed.
