Consciousness immersed, communicating with the coordinates in the distance, perception spreading, turning the great door in front of him into the targeted portal—Yu Sheng quickly adjusted his state and then began to convert the huge warehouse door in front of him into a passage leading to the Exotic Realm Valley, following the usual feeling of opening a "door".

Baili Qing and Song Cheng instinctively held their breath, watching the scene intently. Behind Baili Qing, a pair of eyes quietly appeared in the air, full of curiosity, observing situations that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

"Can you see anything?" Baili Qing softly asked in her mind.

"I can't understand it, but I can observe the two spatial coordinates overlapping. It's... an incredible process," a slightly mechanical voice responded in her mind, "Normally, this would require gathering an enormous amount of energy to 'warp' the space-time, but look, there's not even a wisp of wind here. It's as if the spatial structure originally overlapped like this."

Just then, a slight buzzing interrupted the voice in Baili Qing's mind.

In the next second, the center of the huge warehouse door suddenly "trembled," and then the distant "scenery" appeared in the door.

The passage was generated, and the scenery of the valley reflected in everyone's eyes—or rather, at this moment, the valley in the distant Exotic Realm really "came" to this place.

Yu Sheng still had one hand pressing on the door frame of the warehouse door. At the same time, he looked up at the incredible "passage" in front of him, feeling quite surprised himself.

"It really worked?" he muttered to himself, "What kind of principle is this..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Erin's voice came from beside his feet: "Huh?! You opened the door yourself, who else are you asking!"

Yu Sheng didn't pay attention to the little puppet, just continued to ponder, and then looked at the door frame he was pressing his hand on.

He did feel "relieved." It seems as long as it's a door... What exactly is the essence of a "door"? How does a "door" make its judgment? A warehouse door is a "door," but what about a gate? A valve? Bigger doors, and even more abstract doors?

The roar of engines interrupted Yu Sheng's thoughts. He looked up and saw that the large trucks loaded with personnel and supplies parked at the warehouse door had already started, and Song Cheng was personally directing the convoy through the passage in front of them.

Baili Qing walked over. The female director still had a stern face, but her gaze towards the passage was evidently somewhat peculiar.

"How long can you maintain it?" she asked curiously.

"A few hours," Yu Sheng thought for a moment, pointing to the hand still pressing on the door frame, "Mainly, my hand gets sore over time. I have to keep holding this position; if I let go, the door will close."

Baili Qing: "…So, besides 'sore hands,' there's no consumption?"

"Maybe a bit sleepy?" Yu Sheng's tone carried some uncertainty, "Mainly because I've never had the experience of opening for a long time before. Normally, it only takes a few seconds to push the door. Plus, as soon as the passage is established, it doesn't require additional maintenance—I even made a fixed door in my basement, and that one can stay open all the time."

Baili Qing's gaze became even more subtle instantly—but her ice-cold face hid it well.

She then thought for a moment, raised her hand, and pointed at the passage: "Mind if I go over and take a look?"

"Of course not," Yu Sheng laughed, seeming not surprised at all, "Let's wait until the convoy passes through and then go in—we need to go last."

With the presence of a large passage, the entire convoy entering the valley didn't take long. Soon, Baili Qing and Yu Sheng's group had also passed through the door, arriving at this always-sunny, agreeable valley.

Song Cheng looked around, stunned by this place.

"I've heard about the changes here before, but if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that the 'Nightfall Valley' described in the data could become like this," Captain Song glanced around at the open valley floor and the impressive surrounding mountains under the blue sky, instinctively pulling out a cigarette from his pocket, "Unbelievable, truly..."

"You can't smoke here," Erin immediately ran to Song Cheng, extending her hand, "Fine, 50."

Song Cheng was taken aback, looking at the cigarette in his hand: "I haven't even lit it yet."

Erin said confidently, "Then hurry up and light it, and give me 50."

"Don't mind her," Yu Sheng waved his hand with a wry smile. "But smoking really isn't allowed here—mainly because it's not easy to do some greening here. You wouldn't know how much effort it took to restore the environment in this valley to this state."

Baili Qing remained silent, her faded gray eyes scanning all over as if she was imprinting every "information" of the entire valley into her mind. After a long moment, she calmly broke the silence, "Indeed, compared to the containment facilities arranged by the Special Service Bureau, the conditions here are somewhat better."

Yu Sheng chuckled, comfortably accepting all the compliments, and then began to lead the way, introducing and explaining the preparation details of the camp area.

The person in charge of the construction team who came along with the convoy was a reliable-looking short and stout middle-aged man. He followed behind Yu Sheng, marveling with clicking sounds at the large platform in the center of the valley and the prepared basic campground, and appeared especially pleased.

Yu Sheng went on with the introductions—here is the Teleportation Gate platform, although there's just one door on it right now. Over there is the vegetable garden, although a greenhouse needs to be built later. The edge of the platform is where the chickens are raised, currently being cared for by a fox. The camp over there already has drainage ditches and a foundation set up for the generator. The large building at the end of the camp can serve as a warehouse, and the inexplicable walled area in front of the building is a Weng City—don't ask why there's a Weng City, it's inexplicable...

"Hey, this is much better than I initially expected," the construction supervisor said happily. "When I first heard we were building a temporary settlement in a valley, I was ready to lay the groundwork in a desolate area. I didn't expect the construction conditions to be so good here—don't worry, we'll get the basic mobile rooms and the water and electricity issues sorted within twelve hours. The kids can move in first, and the rest can be done gradually."

"Mm," Baili Qing nodded, then turned to look at Yu Sheng, "I've already spoken to the Council. Most of the staff assigned to the orphanage will be transferring with us, mainly the teachers who directly interact with and take care of the young children. They will stay in this valley with the children until the Dark Angel issue is resolved—material supplies will still be distributed and transported from the warehouse earlier mentioned. We'll need your help with the 'door-opening'."

"No problem," Yu Sheng said with a cheerful nod, "My phone is always on. Just call me when you need the door opened."

After necessary handovers, inspections, and plan confirmations, the engineering personnel from the Special Service Bureau began their busy construction work.

The easily installable mobile rooms were unloaded from the vehicles, unfolding and taking shape on the prepared foundations. The generator set was also unloaded to the designated area, entering the installation and debugging process—Yu Sheng was a complete layman in these aspects, watching for a long time without understanding. Erin, on the other hand, remained extremely enthusiastic. She found a large rock next to the construction site, sat down, and began to watch, intent on seeing the work through till the end of time.

Yu Sheng couldn't help but suspect that this puppet had such great interest in the construction site because her current body was primarily composed of stone and ribbed steel...

Just then, Baili Qing walked over.

"Can you take me to see the 'crash point'?"

Yu Sheng wasn't surprised at all, knowing this director had come along today for the valley's various secrets—this had been discussed in advance, so today was a fitting opportunity.

"No problem, the structure over there has stabilized quite a bit in the past few days, so further collapse shouldn't happen," Yu Sheng readily agreed, then glanced at Hu Li, "Come with us, you're familiar with that place."

"I'm not going!" Erin waved without looking back from a distance, "I want to watch them build houses here."

"Got it," Yu Sheng casually responded, but still reminded before leaving, "Don't get too close, be careful of getting hit by the machines—your small size makes you a blind spot on the construction site."

Erin grimaced instantly—Yu Sheng ignored her.

The so-called "crash point" was hundreds of meters past the small forested area, at a slope sunken into the valley's bottom.

It was where Hu Li and her family had crash-landed in the "Nightfall Valley" many years ago.

The "feast" that eradicated the entity of hunger had almost reshaped the entire valley, gnawing and tearing down large parts of the mountain's structure. Despite the destruction, the essence of the spaceship, the Immortal Shuttle, was not destroyed, merely buried deeper into the mountains and destabilizing the crash point's supporting structure, leading to the area's general instability.

Since taking "control" of the valley, Yu Sheng had been slowly restoring the mountain's structure, reinforcing the geological structure around the Immortal Shuttle's wreckage. Recently, he had moved it as much as possible out of the rock layers, now lying stably on the slope.

Yu Sheng led Baili Qing and Song Cheng to the crash point, standing on a solid stone platform, looking at the slightly curved spacecraft structure.

A streamlined metal wreck, about a hundred meters long, lay quietly in the melted and fractured rock layers, with occasional faint lights flashing deep within. The distorted and twisted framework resembled a jagged skeleton, silently gazing at the sky, seemingly still recounting the violent crash of years ago.

"This is the 'Immortal Shuttle' Hu Li rode on," Yu Sheng pointed at the enormous wreckage not far away, "There's still residual energy deep inside it, but according to Hu Li, it's just 'cooling afterglow', not dangerous. However, I still wouldn't recommend climbing inside... it's not safe."
