Chapter 499: Safe House 3

~8 min read 1,437 words

After wandering around the spacious Safe House No. 3 for a few laps, Sun Cheng walked to the center and first collected all the Engineering Robots that had finished construction work and been shut down by Fuchou into the Spherical Space.

Having finished this, he walked to a corner of Safe House No. 3 again and collected the dozens of crates stacked there into the Spherical Space as well.

These crates were standard boxes one meter high, one meter wide, and two meters long, which he had the industrial robots at Base No. 1 weld out of steel after his last return to the real world, specifically for hauling construction waste and transporting construction materials.

Now, some were empty, some were filled with construction waste, and some contained unused cement, steel bars, alloys, and other materials.

The Safe House was built, and all that remained was to furnish it; the unused materials would likely not be needed.

"Over two hundred square meters... it would be a pity to only use it for storing emergency supplies... perhaps I could put some furniture and office or living equipment here..."

In his daily life, although Sun Cheng would not live in the Safe House.

However, his experiences in the 【Transformers Multiverse】 had made him increasingly cautious; always planning ahead, he was now more accustomed to making the most thorough preparations in advance.

Being called a Safe House, besides providing security for Sun Cheng when necessary, it also needed to ensure he could successfully escape to safety during a crisis.

Therefore, the 【Safe House】 naturally did not have only one entrance and exit.

After staying in Safe House No. 3 for a while, Sun Cheng walked toward the side directly opposite the entrance.

On the wall there was a password door identical to the previous ones, and Fuchou was already waiting there.

This time, Sun Cheng squatted down slightly and aligned his right eye with the display screen.

Not long after, a scanning aperture appeared on the screen again, emitting a non-glaring green light aimed at his right eyeball; it vanished in less than a second, and the words "Access Granted" subsequently appeared on the screen.

"Click!"

The password door opened, and he walked into the final Safe House without haste; after slowing his pace slightly to inspect Safe House No. 4, Sun Cheng walked straight toward the password door at the end of the room.

This Safe House was identical in size and layout to the first and second ones; it was a room he had specifically designed for Combat Robots to be stationed in for security purposes later.

Walking straight to the end of Safe House No. 4, there was another password door there; Sun Cheng, who could now use fingerprint decoding very proficiently, extended a finger, and after verifying his fingerprint, the door in front of him—which was completely different from most of the password doors in the Safe House—opened to reveal, surprisingly, an elevator.

However, standing in front of the elevator door, Sun Cheng did not open the elevator this time.

This exit of the Safe House led to another villa in the residential complex; after deciding to build the Safe House, he had inquired about the sales of nearby villas and finally chose the one directly behind the villa he had originally purchased, separated by exactly one row of villas.

Because it was purchased using a forged identity, as long as Sun Cheng did not enter or leave that place casually, even if someone with ulterior motives were investigating him, they would not know the secret there.

He soon turned back and walked in the direction he had come from; it wasn't that he didn't want to go up and check.

It was because that house Sun Cheng had recently purchased was also undergoing major renovations to cover up their construction of the Safe House underground.

The renovation there was not being done by Engineering Robots, but by a decoration company he had specifically hired in Nandu that specialized in high-end apartment and villa design.

Because he didn't know how long it would take to build the Safe House below, and also to mask the noise that might be emitted during construction as much as possible, Sun Cheng spent a large sum of money to have that decoration company redesign the villa behind almost from the inside out; this way, even if nearby residents heard noise, they would only think it was coming from the villa being renovated behind, and would not suspect the sound came from underground.

Conservatively estimated, the renovation work on the villa where the other exit of Safe House No. 4 was located would last for at least another two months or so.

During this period, they should be arranging for people to keep watch there, after all, the materials purchased for the renovation were of high value.

Therefore, unless necessary, Sun Cheng would not expose the secret of that villa.

Soon, he returned to the main building of the Safe House; looking at this empty space, a sense of unease welled up in his heart for no reason.

"Is there something I haven't considered..."

After frowning and thinking for a long while, and reviewing all his experiences since returning this time, Sun Cheng still could not find the source of his unease; after pondering, he walked to a corner of the room and reached out into the void in front of him.

The next moment, a special freight container, three meters high and wide and about ten meters long, appeared abruptly in Safe House No. 3.

"... Forget it, having an extra layer of protection is never wrong..."

Sun Cheng naturally knew what was inside this freight container; it was entirely filled with new types of Combat Robots manufactured by Base No. 2.

Originally, he had planned to go to Base No. 1 in two days, have Hanwei awaken these Combat Robots, and then bring them back to the Safe House for deployment after a routine calibration.

But feeling this inexplicable unease, the suspicious Sun Cheng immediately took it to heart.

He walked two quick steps to the left side of the container, but what met his eyes was the same as the other sides of the box body; not only could he not see any door locks, he couldn't even see any welding marks.

If one had to call it strange, it would be the slightly protruding alloy block in the very center of the box body.

"Fuchou, open this Safety Lock... the password remains the same..."

The protruding alloy block on the container was a Safety Lock.

However, unlike those password locks on Earth, this Safety Lock was a special password lock produced by Decepticon Engineers at Sun Cheng's request, using the manufacturing technology of the planet Cybertron.

Its interior was refined to the nanometer level; to open the Safety Lock without violently destroying the box body, one needed to insert a nanometer-level key and input the correct password into a Micro Verification Chip inside.

Incidentally, the Micro Verification Chip inside the Safety Lock was also connected to dozens of sensors and micro-bombs welded inside the box body; once it detected that the box temperature was too high or someone attempted to cut the box body violently, it would follow the pre-set safety protocols and detonate the container directly.

This was also one of the measures Sun Cheng left behind to ensure his secrets were not leaked to the maximum extent.

After all, these special containers were specifically manufactured by Decepticon Engineers for him to conveniently store items in the Spherical Space.

And the vast majority of these items were eventually brought back to the real world by him.

"Yes, Master!"

After receiving his order, Fuchou walked nimbly to the Safety Lock of the container and stood still; he saw it extend its slender right hand and grasp the slightly protruding alloy block, and the tip of one finger immediately glowed slightly.

Although Sun Cheng's eyes could not see it, he knew that a nanometer-level bone spur had already extended from Fuchou's fingertip and inserted into the Safety Lock.

It did not make him wait long; accompanied by a crackling sound from the Safety Lock, two gaps suddenly appeared on the surface where no welding marks could be seen before, and they quickly retracted to the surroundings.

The next moment, a venting sound came from the tightly closed container.

Without needing Sun Cheng to give further instructions, Fuchou pulled open the container door for him, and rows of humanoid steel machines resembling soldiers appeared in Sun Cheng's line of sight.
