Chapter 249 The Builder's Team
Lu Ming saw that the soldiers started the small boat, left the island, and drove towards the warship. So he pulled Jon, "We should go too!"
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he quickly ran towards the mountain with Jon.
Overwork and mental stress have left Jon physically deprived.
Lu Ming desperately dragged him up the mountain.
After arriving at the edge of the cliff, Lu Ming saw that the rope for climbing the cliff was still there.
"Let's go down!" he tugged on the rope to see it was strong, and let Jon go down first.
"No, I have to take a break. Just a moment! You go down first!"
Lu Ming went in the direction of the warship, only to see a few flashes of light suddenly appear over there, and hurriedly pulled Jon.
"Go down or you'll be blown up!" he said, wrapping the safety rope around Jon's waist and lowering him down the cliff.
At this moment, a violent explosion came from the bottom of the mountain.
Then, there were explosions one after another, and the island was once again in flames.
Lu Ming, who was crawling under the cliff, was also clinging to the mountain rock at this time, and he didn't dare to move.
Fortunately, the mountain was able to block the shells and prevent them from being injured by shrapnel and blown stones.
At this moment, Lu Ming felt the rock under him tremble violently.
Just like a hill is a huge life.
Then, fist-sized stones fell from the sky like a torrential rain.
Heavy shelling continued for almost an hour.
The two warships probably threw all their anger at the island through their cannonballs.
It wasn't until an hour after the shelling stopped that Lu Ming and Jon climbed into the mountain with scars all over their bodies.
"Lu Ming, how is the situation!" Bai Xiaoyi saw Lu Ming coming back covered in scratches and dust, and hurriedly greeted him to check his body.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Lu Ming immediately waved his hand.
"Mr. Lu, thank you for saving us!" Elizabeth and the others in the cave had already heard about Lu Ming's battle outside from Bruce, who had returned first.
Although the violent explosion caused several terrible cracks in the cave body in the mountain, it did not collapse after all.
When the sky was bright, Lu Ming, who had simply rested for a few hours, climbed to the cliff again.
In his eyes, the island that he had worked so hard to manage had been completely destroyed.
The huge shells fired from the ship's guns turned everything over here. Most of the trees that used to be lush have been cut off at the waist, revealing white stubble.
Several places were hit by artillery fire, and fires broke out.
When the wind blew, a smell of burnt gunsmoke poured into the nostrils.
The tens of thousands of seabirds that once inhabited the island were also frightened by the thunderstorm. A lot of birds are scared to death. There was a layer on the rocky beach and on the edge of the cliff. More hovered and flew over the island, but did not dare to fall into their lair again.
Lu Ming: The residential area that they had worked hard to build for more than two months was also completely razed to the ground.
Huge craters are next to each other.
However, the small fleet had already left the sea, and it was not known where it was headed.
The fleet failed twice on the island, losing several dozen soldiers.
At this time, a goat miraculously escaped the bombardment of artillery fire and walked to Lu Ming's side with weak steps.
Yamanaka.
Elizabeth and Jon are leading the men to remove the barrier and reopen the mountain gate.
Jon has been regarded as a hero by the people of the mountains because of his excellent performance last night.
"Oh my God, they ruined everything!" said Margaret, spreading her hands and shouting at the sight of the island.
"Don't worry, we'll rebuild this place. Jon patted her on the shoulder and smiled kindly.
The Immortal was sunk. The cargo ships leaving the island were also completely destroyed on the beach harbor side.
So, these people can't leave here for the time being.
When Lu Ming came down from the top of the mountain, everyone's gaze at him became solemn.
It was only in this war that they realized Lu Ming's true strength.
It is a blessing for them to be able to live on the island under the leadership of such an amazing person.
"Yes, we will rebuild the island. There will be new cisterns and houses. We will also have new gardens to grow crops. Everything will start all over again. Because this island belongs to each and every one of us. You are all the masters of this island!" Lu Ming announced loudly in an emotional voice.
"Wow, that's great!" the pirates couldn't hide their excitement.
After all, they still want to follow Cheng Feng back to their old jobs.
Having such an unbreakable foothold is a boon for them.
Jon took a deep breath and turned to face the people gathered around him.
"We're going to join the builders, too. At the very least, we're going to live here until we're rescued. Jon mused.
His proposal was agreed to by all the refugees.
After all, Lu Ming didn't make it too difficult for them.
Now, even the pirates who captured them are eager to repair the island, and of course they have to do their part.
After Lu Ming's consideration, they decided to send some people to strengthen and renovate this mountain first, after all, without the protection of this fortress, they would all be bombarded into powder by artillery fire.
The fleet looking for submarines is gone, but they also have to watch out for other intruders.
Moreover, it will take a long time to build houses and living settings, and these people will still have to live in the mountains for the time being.
Below the mountain, there is a large crater with a diameter of several tens of meters and two or three meters in the deepest part of the shell. Since it is on the side of the mountain, the pit is full of rocks.
This is a natural cistern.
Lu Ming believed that as long as it rained a few times and the water from the mountain flowed down, it could fill the artificial lake that the enemy had created for them. At that time, they will no longer have to worry about the lack of fresh water on the island.
As for the houses.
The trees that were blown off by the shells could be used to build wooden houses.
And the soil that was turned up by the artillery fire was just right to be sorted into land for crops.
If you want to operate on this island with peace of mind, it is not a problem to feed a hundred people on the land here.
As the trees on the island had been blown down or burned, there were loose and broken stones everywhere. He could also repave the way for a more suitable environment on the island today.
Lu Ming sketched the future of this island in his heart.
Not a single powerful fleet took the island. He believed that in the future, no one would covet or dare to despise the armed forces here.
This island is his second home for Lu Ming.
Just as Lu Ming was leading the people on the island to fight against the powerful naval fleet, Mo Bing and Liang Shaoyang, who were far away in City A, were also experiencing extraordinary pressure.
Ever since Mo Bing quietly landed ashore from the Hades. Under the protection of Ren Hongyi, Mo Bing disguised himself and returned to City A, in order to avoid the revenge of the mysterious big man behind the scenes, Mo Bing did not go directly to Babbitt Company.
Instead, under Ren Hongyi's arrangement, he lived in a hidden residential area.
When Smith received a call from Mo Bing, he was extremely pleasantly surprised.
