"It really is!" Long Zhan was overjoyed, his excitement impossible to contain. He immediately picked up his communicator.
"All personnel, prepare to deploy!"
"Check your equipment one last time and prepare to enter the Portal!"
The soldiers breathed rapidly and sprang into action. The entire underground space became busy but orderly.
Zhao Gang also passed the news to the New Hope Group.
Lin Mo shouted toward the other side of the Portal.
"Your Excellency Kael! Princess Fendona!"
On the other side of the Portal, Fendona and Elder Muyu heard the commotion and emerged from the wooden cabins in the temporary camp, approaching in bewilderment.
"Lin Mo?"
Once Fendona saw him clearly, her eyes instantly widened.
"Oh heavens! How are you on the other side of the Portal?"
"Aren't you... still lying here?"
As she spoke, she pointed toward a wooden cabin.
Lin Mo said excitedly:
"Don't worry about those details. That's me too. I'll explain later."
He had long suspected that his soul traveled between two bodies, so this came as no surprise.
Thud, thud, thud-
A burst of hurried footsteps approached.
The two academicians, Qian Zhenhua and Liu Chengen, rushed over, panting, followed by several researchers carrying various precision instruments.
"A Portal! It really is a stable spatial Portal!"
Qian Zhenhua pushed up his glasses, trembling all over with excitement and almost throwing himself at it.
Liu Chengen was even more direct, roaring at the researchers behind him.
"Quick! Hurry, hurry! Set up all the equipment, run the cables, and power it up!"
"Calm down!"
Zhao Gang turned and barked at them, his gaze piercing.
"This is a critical moment. All that can wait. Don't interfere with the Portal opening!"
Qian Zhenhua froze.
"Yes, yes, yes. Once it's open, we'll have ten days. We can spare a little time.
