After ending his communication with Eileen, Yu Sheng stopped resting and continued moving along the "outer wall" of the tower.
With that huge tail no longer in his arms, moving became much easier. The only inconvenience was that he had to stay constantly cautious. He had to plan where to grip before every step, and he could not use too much force while moving, or he risked detaching himself from the tower and falling into outer space.

Still, perhaps he could leave a "coordinate" on the tower's shell first? Although this thing might currently be moving (without any frame of reference, Yu Sheng could not tell whether it was flying), if he used the tower beneath his feet as the reference origin when recording the coordinate, he should still be able to open a door back here later...
All sorts of thoughts spun through Yu Sheng's mind. After crossing a metal protrusion of unknown purpose, he stopped once more.
