Chapter 23 – The First Appearance of the Door to the Parallel World
It was thick and undulating, and it was clear that everyone was shocked and desperate.
For those who faced the alien species directly, they deeply understood the terror of the alien species. They absolutely did not want to see another door in this world that could let the alien species run rampant.
If there was anyone in this world who wanted to see the scene of a second Threshold descending, it would probably be the controllers of the Federal Government—the tycoons at the top of the pyramid.
Last night, Tu Ran skimmed through a few pages of information related to the portal.
The portal had suddenly appeared fifteen years ago. It was a towering wall that blocked out the sky and the sun, suddenly standing twenty kilometers east of the administrative building in the center of the Federation.
This high wall seemed to have been built in an instant. Countless surveillance cameras recorded that moment. At first, it was a gray, three-dimensional wall that looked like a projection. Then the color of the wall gradually deepened, and the material became solid and substantial. In just one second, a wall had descended from the sky.
The Federal Government had sent drones to investigate the top of the wall, but after reaching a height of only four hundred meters, the drones lost power and crashed. An unknown force obstructed any attempt to inspect the wall.
The height of the wall was indiscernible, but its width could be observed with the naked eye.
And seeing the width of the wall, one would be even more shocked that this wall was not something that could be built with current human technology.
Because it was only a thin layer.
It seemed like a simple mixture of black bricks and cement, but everyone could understand that without a strong foundation, this hundred-meter-high wall could not stand at all.
And what was terrifying was that this wall had no foundation.
Since they couldn’t get over it, the Federal Government sent people to dig from underground. After just three or four digs, they had dug through from the front to the back of the wall, and the Federal Government then discovered that this wall had no foundation at all.
The sudden appearance of this strange wall immediately attracted the attention of many people. They quickly discovered that although the black wall was solid, it could transmit sunlight and cast no shadow. Soon, a civilian explorer found that at a certain spot, people could pass through the wall.
This explorer reported the discovery to the Federal Government.
The Federal Government promptly dispatched experts to investigate, but they found nothing conclusive. Although everyone was curious about what lay behind the wall, no one dared to enter.
The drones, probes, and life detectors sent through the wall lost their signals the moment they crossed it.
Bombs thrown inside, regardless of their size, had no more impact than a feather landing on a lake—they created not a single ripple.
“Shock! The Door to the Parallel World Makes Its First Appearance!”
A report with this headline emerged and quickly became a hot topic among the public.
Adventure enthusiasts began to hope to see the other side of the wall. After obtaining Federal Government approval, they entered the wall in groups.
One day, two days, three days… a month passed.
They never reappeared.
During this period, experts stationed outside the wall discovered that the “door” had closed.
Hands couldn’t pass through, bullets couldn’t penetrate, and bombs couldn’t be thrown in.
It seemed the wall had truly become an ordinary wall.
Just when everyone thought the wall would remain sealed forever and those inside would never return, someone keenly noticed that the “door” had reopened.
