nWarren and Charles communicated for nearly thirty minutes. Finally, Charles figured out what he needed to do.

nHe had been so overwhelmed before that he was at a loss. He knew being the president, he needed to do something, but he didn’t know where to start. But now, he had made up his mind.

nHe was going to make a public announcement so that everybody was mentally prepared. Once the portal opened, they would be ready to go to K18.

nThey must leave in order, and that required some discipline. After all, not everybody would cooperate willingly. Even in a small town, if one person caused a problem during the evacuation, it could easily trigger a butterfly effect.

nThings would only get worse with a greater population. Therefore, someone had to be there to supervise and maintain order.

nCharles finally saw the light. Mr. Himmel Soan had those hundred members join the Moonian army just for this occasion!

nThe idea enlightened Charles. He then summoned Henry and Gordon and told them everything, giving them specific orders. After they left, he broadcast to the whole world.

nNo one needed to open any window to watch it because the broadcast was compulsory. Regardless of what they were doing, everybody on Earth had to watch his broadcast on their phones and computers.

n“Good afternoon, everybody. I have a serious matter to tell you. I hope you’re prepared. The portal will open in about two hours.

n“I hope everybody gets prepared in the next two hours. When the portal opens, please follow the instructions. Don’t push, and don’t jump the queue!

n“When we get to K18, everything will proceed as before!”

nCharles went offline after the announcement. The people could discuss it on their own. If they had doubts about some issue, he would come back online and answer their questions.

nThey only had two hours. Charles couldn’t spend too much time on the broadcast. Everybody needed to make preparations in the limited time. Even if they didn’t bring anything, they still needed to be mentally prepared.

nAs expected, the announcement created a sensation online. No subject had been discussed like this one!

nThe portal was going to open, which meant the people on Earth were going to move. They were going to another planet!

nIt was an event for the entire Earth. Everybody was paying their full attention.

n“Is the portal opening in two hours?”

n“No, we may not have that much time.”

n“Why so soon? We’ve received no updates, and the portal is suddenly going to open. That’s just too much…”

n“I’m curious, too. Why so sudden?”

n“Is it supposed to be a pleasant surprise?”

n“Do you call that a pleasant surprise?”

n“The portal is opening! Is that true? Why do I feel like I’m dreaming?”

n“The president made the announcement. Do you think he’s lying? Do you think he’s making a joke? You should have your brain examined.”

n“I’m not saying I have doubts. I just think I would feel much more reassured if it came from Mr. Himmel Soan.”

n“I feel the same way. What’s Mr. Himmel Soan doing now? Why haven’t we heard from him?”

n“Isn’t the portal going to open? He must be by the door. In that case, it’s understandable that he didn’t make the announcement himself.”

n“That’s right! Mr. Himmel Soan is much busier than you think! He’s a great scientist! He’s not an idle man like you lot!”

n“We really should talk about some more meaningful things. For example, what are we going to take to K18? What can we take?”

n“Yes! Going to K18 is the top priority now! As for what to take with us, I think a phone and a charger will be enough. There are so many people in the world. If we all bring luggage, it’ll be so crowded!”

nEverybody soon concluded that the announcement was true. After all, a president wouldn’t make fun of such things. It was unthinkable!

nThe announcement had to be true!

nWhat was left was to get ready to depart for K18. They began to think about what to bring to the new planet.

nThey had to bring some clothes, and they couldn’t go without their phone. They would also need things like towels and toothbrushes. There were so many necessities.

nIt soon became the main subject.

n“What necessities should we bring to the new planet?”

n“I think I need to bring my doll! I’m so used to having her around!”

n“All my shoes are very expensive! I have to bring all of them!”

n“Seriously? Why do you even care about your shoes?”

n“You know nothing! I bought all the shoes with my hard-earned money! Why can’t I take them with me?”

n“My jewelry, too! And my hundred handbags! They’re all limited edition!”

n“…”

nMany people mentioned things they wanted to bring. It was so chaotic. None of them were bringing necessities only. They would take up so much space!

nThose people refused to change their minds, telling other people to leave them alone.
