Chapter 212: Big Door
In fact, Yu Sheng wanted to emphasize that after such a period of practice and adaptation, he has made great progress in "molding" houses in the valley. The two rows of quaint pillars on both sides of the portal on the platform are the best evidence. He dare not say that he can mold a luxury hotel for the children in the orphanage, but at least two rows of resettlement houses should be no problem. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be better for him to just prepare the foundation.
The main reason is that the Secret Service has prepared all the supplies, so it would be a waste if we don’t grab them…
Of course, in order to prove his skills, he still spent some time leveling the foundation and building a building at the end of the designated campsite.
Soil and rocks reorganized deep in the earth, rising gradually with a low rumbling sound, like living limbs interweaving on the surface, piling up, thickening layer by layer, turning into a gray-white base, walls, columns and roof, and then further differentiated into doors, windows and simple decorations on the walls. Irene was attracted by the movement and ran over to curiously look at the large building rising from the ground at the end of the wasteland. She turned her head and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It's a bit monotonous to have only a bunch of prefabricated houses in the camp. No matter how comfortable they are, they still look like refugees. So I named a 'castle' for Little Red Riding Hood and her friends," Yu Sheng explained to the doll cheerfully. "It can also serve as the 'office' of the 'Fairy Tale' organization - or if that doesn't work, it can be used as a warehouse. When the construction team from the Secret Service comes, we can ask them to help provide electricity."
Irene was stunned when she heard this. She climbed onto Yu Sheng's shoulders and looked at the large gray-white building with a stone texture for a long time, muttering, "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was a public toilet with three entrances and three exits and two urns..."
Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and was about to throw the puppet on his shoulder away: "...We can't get over this, right?!"
Irene immediately jumped off Yu Sheng's shoulder with a giggle, and said while dodging in circles: "Alright, alright, I won't make a fuss anymore. To be honest, this time it really looks like the real thing. It's a bit rough, but it looks quite impressive. It has a bit of the flavor of those mysterious alien ruins with unknown meaning in game CG..."
Yu Sheng suspected that the doll was implying the abstraction of the house that he had created with great difficulty, but he had no evidence.
But he didn't care. The lizard next to him was so adoring that his tail was shaking out afterimages, sweeping up sand and rocks...
The basic part of the camp was soon completed.
"The next step is to connect with the Secret Service." Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the last piece of foundation in front of him gradually harden and take on a rock-like texture. He took out his phone to check the time while relaxing his tense spirit. "...Not bad, a little faster than expected."
Ailin curiously climbed onto Yu Sheng's arm and glanced at the phone screen: "It's already this late, aren't the Secret Service taking a break?"
"They said that all personnel and materials are on standby 24 hours a day. The construction and relocation of the resettlement site will be done in shifts, and people will not stop working," Yu Sheng said, and casually dialed Baili Qing's number. "They are still very reliable in this kind of thing... Hello? This is Yu Sheng, and we are ready."
Baili Qing's calm words came from the other side of the receiver: "Okay, come directly to my office."
"To be honest, she is really aloof," Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and whispered to Irene and Hu Li while hanging up the phone, "No wonder everyone calls her the steel-faced one..."
The next second, another sentence came out from the phone: "I'm not a man of steel."
Yu Sheng: “…”
After silently hanging up the phone, he curled his lips and said, "The touch screen of this phone doesn't work well."
The illusory door opened out of thin air, and a temporary passage led directly from the exotic valley to the director's office in the Secret Service headquarters building. Yu Sheng walked out of the door with a stern face and saw Baili Qing, who also had a stern face, and Song Cheng, who was almost unable to keep a straight face next to him.
He realized that when he was complaining about a certain lady's expressionless face just now, there seemed to be more than one listener at the scene - Captain Song's face showed an expression that said "It's over. I heard something I shouldn't have heard when I was with my boss. I have to add extra shifts to this crappy class."
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention what happened on the phone, and then Baili Qing personally led the way, leading Yu Sheng and his party into another elevator in the corridor.
In this strange Secret Service headquarters building, almost all the special floors are connected by these strange elevators - and they don't necessarily move in which direction. Yu Sheng first felt the elevator going up, and then after more than a dozen floors, he found that the arrow above the car turned straight down. Before he could think about it, he saw that the arrow turned 90 degrees on the spot, indicating that the car was moving horizontally to the left. After a while, he felt the whole elevator shake violently, and a soft female voice came from the electronic synthesized sound: "Transfer floor-port arrived."
The elevator door opened, and an astonishingly wide open space appeared in Yu Sheng's field of vision.
He led Irene and Hu Li out of the elevator in a daze and found himself standing on a metal platform. Surrounding the platform was a huge artificial island. On the open ground were a dozen large buildings neatly arranged like warehouses. There were many seemingly unmanned transport vehicles running between the warehouses and the port facilities in the distance. Outside this extremely wide area was an endless... ocean.
Yu Sheng subconsciously looked towards the sparkling sea, and saw many large transport ships painted with the Secret Service logo docked at the pier on the artificial coast. He also saw a ship leaving the port and gradually accelerating towards the endless ocean. The next second, a chaotic light curtain suddenly appeared on the sea, and the transport ship seemed to have directly penetrated some invisible "crack" and quickly disappeared in the chaotic light curtain.
A slight mechanical sound came from behind him. Yu Sheng turned around and saw that the door of the "elevator car" was closed. The entire car was connected to the edge of the platform by a series of sturdy tracks. As the mechanical device on the track started, the entire car began to retreat rapidly and disappeared in another chaotic light curtain in the blink of an eye.
After holding it in for a long time, Yu Sheng finally couldn't help but speak: "...Where did this come from? Is this still the border area?"
"This is the 'border'. The place in front of you is both a storage facility and an external transportation hub," Song Cheng laughed. "You also know that the entire border is actually a closed space, which is different from the normal space outside. People in the border... except for you, ordinary people like us can only go through those fixed 'natural passages' to get out. These natural passages are large and small. A small one may be a drawer in an office in the Secret Service headquarters building. A large one... a station, the end of a tunnel, or as you can see, a port."
As Song Cheng spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the sparkling sea in the distance.
"This place can only be reached through a 'shortcut', which is considered part of the shortcut network. The depth is 1 and the danger level is 0. This sea area overlaps with a sea area on a certain planet 'outside'. If you cross the light curtain you just saw, you will be outside the border. Of course, we can't go there now. To leave from here, we must first ask the Council for a permit..."
Song Cheng suddenly stopped and looked at Yu Sheng intently.
"...You're not going to suddenly open the door and go out from here, are you?" he asked nervously.
Yu Sheng was a little amused by the other party's reaction: "I'm not that free."
"oh."
Song Cheng nodded, but within two seconds he nervously confirmed again: "You really won't go out from here?"
"If I want to open the door, I must first have clear coordinates, and the coordinates only affect where I go, not where I open it from," Yu Sheng spread his hands helplessly, "If I really want to go out, I can just go home and open the door. There's no need to cause trouble for you here."
"Oh, that's fine," Song Cheng nodded again, then smiled a little embarrassedly, "Don't blame me for talking too much, it's mainly because this place is quite sensitive."
Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that this might be the difference between crossing the border from an uninhabited area and fighting one's way out of the customs - although in theory both are considered smuggling, the latter is a bit more arrogant...

Soon, Baili Qing and Song Cheng led Yu Sheng and his party off the metal platform and arrived at the door of a large warehouse.
There were already reception personnel waiting here - also waiting were a construction team wearing the uniforms of the Secret Service's engineering department, a dozen large transport vehicles, and those vehicles were loaded with various supplies.
It is obviously unrealistic to transport enough materials and a supporting construction team to build a temporary settlement from the real world to the alien valley by relying on a door in the basement.
Baili Qing certainly took this into consideration, and this was also the reason why she brought Yu Sheng to this place.
"You said you needed a door that was big enough, preferably one that could allow a large truck to drive right through," Baili Qing said, pointing to the warehouse next to her. "A door with a real entity can effectively save you the energy you spend when opening the door. Do you think this door will work?"
Yu Sheng raised his head and took a look at the warehouse door that was large enough for two container trucks to drive in side by side.
"...To be honest, this is also the first time I've opened a door of this size. I'm curious whether it will work." He touched his chin, and an eager expression gradually appeared on his face. "Let's give it a try first."
When Song Cheng heard Yu Sheng say that he was not sure and could only give it a try, he subconsciously frowned: "Well, what if it doesn't work?"
"If it doesn't work, then we can only unload the things on the car, disassemble them, stuff them into the fox's tail and slowly transport them," Yu Sheng said, turning his head to look at Hu Li, "Can it fit in?"
Hu Li looked up at the dozen or so large trucks and thought seriously.
"The whole car really can't fit in. Even if we use the method of shrinking objects into inches, each object must be less than four meters..." the fox girl said while gesticulating.
Yu Sheng hummed, turned his head and said to Song Cheng: "That's quite a big restriction, so let's just hope that the door opens smoothly."
Song Cheng looked a little dazed - mainly because he was not used to Yu Sheng's way of thinking, which was so jumpy...
Obviously, as a middle-aged office worker who is very busy every day, he doesn't have a deep enough understanding of some of the weird details around him.
Yu Sheng ignored Song Cheng's reaction. He had already come to the huge door and put his hand on its door frame.
As long as it's a door... it should be able to be opened, right? (End of this chapter)
