Chapter 247: Building a Passage

"Oh, Farke. Jon scolded.

Because he found that he had a nest of seabird eggs at hand.

That's the seagull's nest.

And the ferocious seagull thought he was going to steal his own child.

But it was too late to understand all this.

Jon's hand was pecked by the seagull as he was holding the crevice, and the sharp pain made him instinctively withdraw his hand to dodge.

Jon screamed in mid-air and flew like a stone to the bottom of the cliff.

Lu Ming was below not far from him at this time.

He saw with his own eyes everything that was happening above.

When Jon fell from him, Lu Ming desperately grabbed one of Jon's arms.

The force of the collision almost carried him down.

Lu Ming clasped the edge of the rock with one hand, and tried to control Jon's body with the other, preventing him from falling out of his grasp.

Unbeknownst to him, the rock on which he supported his balance had been loosened by weathering.

Jon, who survived, quickly landed his foot on a raised rock and stabilized himself.

"Be careful!" When he raised his head to express his sincerest gratitude to Lu Ming, he found that the rock in Lu Ming's hand was loosening.

Lu Ming also sensed that something was wrong.

But he hadn't had time to let go of Jon's hand yet.

He instinctively twisted his waist to keep his body close to the cliff, but the sudden slipping stone made his body shake violently, and it was difficult to get his balance right.

Just at the last moment, he felt that one of his calves suddenly had a firm support.

With this supportive force, Lu Ming finally stood firm, shook his body, and stuck to the rock wall again.

At his feet, Jon was watching him with concern.

In a short period of time, the two of them were at risk of falling off a cliff almost at the same time. But because they helped each other, they were all out of danger.

After this perilous situation, neither of them spoke. Instead, he climbed to the bottom of the cliff with extra caution.

"Looks like it's going to rain. We should prepare more things to catch the water!" As soon as Lu Ming and Jon returned to the mountain, He Qin came to talk to them.

"No, hold it up a little longer. You can't leak the hole on our side!" Lu Ming said with a deep groan.

"However, there is not enough water for cooking today. He Qin looked at Lu Ming in embarrassment.

"I'll tell you!" Lu Ming knew He Qin's difficulties.

Because nearly a third of the space is freed up for defense.

The air in the cave is filthy due to lack of circulation.

The screams of the wounded and the smell of blood were uncalm.

They don't know how long this will last.

Lu Ming immediately summoned the leaders of each group and explained to them what they had just seen on the mountain, as well as the difficulties they were currently experiencing.

"I think as long as we can get through this, they will give up their occupation of this island!"

"We believe in you!"

Amir glanced at Elizabeth and said in a deep tone.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, we will support you!" Those Melanesians such as Bruce and Charlie are Lu Ming's staunch supporters.

They trusted Lu Ming as they trusted Cheng Feng.

"If you believe us, please send us weapons. We'll fight with you too!" Jon was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly.

"Hehe, can you fight too?" Amir stared at Jon with squinting slender eyes, as if it was hard to believe that as slave laborers, they would fight as hard as they did.

"Elizabeth, give them guns!" Lu Ming ignored Amir's questioning.

A downpour began to fall after nightfall.

The wind was howling, the waves were raging, and the people in the mountains were sitting quietly in the dark.

The rain that had not come for days washed over the small island blackened by gunpowder. It seems to want to regain life here.

Looking at the water that pours down the cliff to the rocky beach like a water curtain hole a few meters away.

People who were so thirsty that their throats were already smoking, looked eagerly out of the cave.

"So much water is wasted, even if you use a bucket to get some water!"

"Oh my God, if I could rush down there, it would be the most comfortable thing in my life. ”

Those who were thirsty complained.

However, Lu Ming strictly ordered that anyone should not go out to collect water through the cave door.

Because he had a hunch that the army at sea would also take advantage of the wind and rain to sneak attack here.

In the unlikely event that the hole near the sea leaks, they will lose their last chance to escape.

When the rain stopped for a while, Lu Ming decided to lead a death squad to climb up the cliff and attack the marines of a certain country attacking the entrance of the hole in front from behind.

The team consisted of ten members, consisting of two groups that did not participate in the battle, including Jon and Bruce. They're going to take thirty ** bags and go to make a violent blast.

This arrangement was also deliberate by Lu Ming, after all, Elizabeth and Louis's team members had experienced fierce battles and suffered heavy losses.

If they are allowed to sneak up on the enemy army again, I am afraid that there will be complaints.

They don't know how long they will stay in this cramped cavern, and if there is civil unrest, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Dark clouds obscured the starlight, making their movements secretive.

But at the same time, heavy rain also made the rock face slippery, making the climb to the maximum.

"Let me go up and build a passage for everyone first. Jon volunteered.

He carried a bundle of climbing rope and some nails of his own making.

"Well, you have to be careful. I will be by your side and act with you!" Lu Ming said.

The day's cooperation made him believe that Jon could get the job done.

In order to increase their superpowers.

Before leaving, Lu Ming asked Christian to inject him with a high-purity snake venom.

"This is the last time. I don't want to see myself destroy you with my own hands!" Christian said in a heavy tone.

Lu Ming also knew Christian's worries, but now that it was a matter of life and death, he had forgotten the consequences of overinjecting this snake venom that could give his body the ability to mutate.

Now, his body is at its best.

And the excitement that the snake venom brought to him filled him with rage*.

Jon began to climb down the crevices of the dripping rocks.

This time, he did not show his ability to show off, but honestly followed the route carefully selected by Lu Ming.

Every ten meters or so, he would drive a steel nail into a rock crevice to hang a rope on his body, which could not help but provide a rope ladder for those who came after him, which was also his safety rope.

Lu Ming followed closely behind him, protecting this brave young man.

Although the clouds covered it, it was so dark that you could barely reach your fingers.

But in Lu Ming's eyes, Jon is a red human form. His every movement can be seen clearly.

The rope is constantly stretching upwards.

The people below were anxiously awaiting orders.

Each of them carried three or four homemade bombs loaded with three kilograms of high spirits.

Just when there was still a dozen meters away from the top of the cliff.

Lu Ming suddenly patted Jon's leg from below.

Jon immediately clung to the cliff and didn't move.

Because at this time he also heard the sound of people moving on the cliff.

That was supposed to have been fired by the firearm accidentally hitting the rock.

"There's someone up there!" Lu Ming slowly grabbed the rock crevice and crawled to Jon's side and whispered.

"Hmm. Jon nodded nervously.

Although he was brave, he was a civilian.

Now it seems that those Marines have thought of the possibility of preventing the people in the mountains from coming up from the cliffs and raiding them.

So personnel were sent to guard this period of natural danger.

Once they found someone on the cliff, then Lu Ming and Jon would have nowhere to escape. And the failure of the sneak attack plan will also lead to the fall of the mountain, and all the personnel will fall into the hands of this group of soldiers who have already been set on fire.

"I'll go up first!" Lu Ming whispered to Jon, and then climbed towards the top of the cliff like a gecko.

Fortunately, this section of the cliff is not very steep anymore. Due to the erosion of rain, there are many long gaps in the cliffs here, and Lu Ming has also climbed here dozens of times.

So, it didn't take much effort for him to climb to the top of the cliff.

At that moment, a soldier seemed to sense something and approached with a gun. Shine under the cliff with a tactical lamp mounted under the barrel.

The bottom of the cliff in the dark night is like there is no bottom in sight. Only the rhythmic rattle of the waves crashing against the reef can be heard.

Lu Ming's whole body was clinging to the slippery rocks, staring sideways at the soldiers swimming above.

The soldier shone down for a moment, but found nothing, then turned off the light and retreated.

Although it was pitch black above, there was silence. But Lu Ming knew through his keen sense of smell that he was not leaving.

He didn't know how many people were guarding the place.

So don't dare to easily alarm the people above.

I waited a few more minutes like this.

The soldier above finally moved and left the place.

Lu Ming took the opportunity to quietly climb to the cliff.

In the darkness, his pupils, which had shrunk into a line, looked at the flat top of the mountain.

Peer through infrared rays rather than light.

There are five people on it, guarding here in three places.

It was windy on the cliffs, and the air was wet and cold due to the rain that had just fallen.

Although those soldiers were wearing raincoats, I am afraid that they should have been soaked all over.

The sound of the tide in the sea below the cliff made it difficult to hear the subtle sounds, and the confidence in this difficult cliff made them relax their duties.

In such a dark weather, it was very simple for Lu Ming to kill them.

But this will alarm the other soldiers.

Only a dozen meters away from the top of the cliff, Lu Ming did not let him order steel nails again, but directly took him to the top of the cliff. And the rope was tightly wound around one end to a raised boulder.

Jon had already understood the danger on the cliff from Lu Ming's movements.

When Lu Ming took him to hide behind a rock, he signaled him not to move yet, everything was waiting for his instructions.

Time cannot afford to procrastinate.

Lu Ming realized that at the bottom of the mountain, those soldiers must have surrounded the mountain and found that the mountain was blocked.

They will take measures to blow up the mountain gates, and they will have to get rid of the sentry posts on the mountain before they can move, so that the people under the cliff can come up.

At this point, he pushed his body's abilities to the limit.

When the sentry swam near him again, Lu Ming slammed out from his hiding place.
