The command room had already descended into chaos.
Only Mark, Jing Nan, Victor, and the others who had been present knew the details about the existence of the passageway. Even now, all the Dust People and Upper Class residents aboard the Lighthouse still believed they could only struggle to survive in this apocalypse.
As for the Lighthouse being able to detect Fleet Zero in advance, that was because William had given the order. Otherwise, to Fleet Zero, the Lighthouse would have been nothing more than a gigantic "blind" target.
"What?"
Jing Nan had been mentally prepared, but when she heard that the largest target was actually more than twenty kilometers long, she was still utterly shocked.
A Lighthouse that had yet to reach the kilometer scale could accommodate more than ten thousand people. What about one twenty kilometers long?
Could it accommodate hundreds of thousands of people?
That was the population of some countries in the old world.
Only after thinking about it did Jing Nan belatedly realize that everything Arthur had told her that day—the billions of people and ruling two-thirds of the Milky Way Galaxy—had all been true.
"Commander! What should we do?"
At that moment, the female subordinate's shout pulled Jing Nan away from her thoughts about Arthur and returned her face to its usual cold expression.
After taking a moment to compose herself.
Jing Nan calmly issued an order: "Don't make such a fuss. The upper levels of the Lighthouse anticipated today's events long ago. Notify City Lord Mark first and have him stabilize the Lighthouse's internal security."
"Yes, Commander."
Jing Nan's composure affected the others as well. Before long, the entire command room was no longer as panicked and helpless as before. Instead, everyone began swiftly carrying out Jing Nan's orders.
At the same time.
