This time, Xu Shen stayed in the earthquake space of the first layer of the soul cage for a long time.

Although it was silent and lonely, it was not lonely to be accompanied by Maeve.

On the contrary, there is a sense of cosy and tranquility.

The darkness under the earthquake is like a paradise of solitude.

There was more than one smell of decay around, and Xu Shen guessed that there should be corpses buried by other residents in the building.

He had long been accustomed to the taste.

A few faint beams of light in the cracks of the stone became Xu Shen's only hope to get out of trouble, but after a long, long time, there was still no rescue, and Xu Shen estimated that this area should have been investigated.

It's just that I was neglected.

He wasn't in a hurry, he didn't care where Maeve was anyway.

It's just that the environment here is really a lot worse.

When Xu Shen groped his body, he could clearly feel the ribs on his chest, arms, and arms, which were also quite rough and stiff, although there was no mirror, Xu Shen could imagine a hungry and skinny appearance.

Despite Maeve's feeding, food is limited and she can't eat a full meal.

Xu Shen knew that he wouldn't be able to last long here.

Xu Shen is more curious, what will happen if he dies here, will the Soul Cage reset the scene?

He wanted to try, to test.

Maeve saw Xu Shen stop eating the food she fed, and immediately understood Xu Shen's thoughts, shook her head and said, "Do you want to be like me, you will be disappointed when you really get to that point." ”

"Once you cross over, you can't go back."

Xu Shen smiled, "With you by your side, how can I be disappointed." ”

Maeve stared at Xu Shen, these words made her eyes brighten a little, but a more serious look flashed in her eyes, and she persuaded: "Don't be impulsive, think about it again." ”

Xu Shen saw that she was so solemn, and even put on a small face, he was a little angry, so he had to agree.

He couldn't understand why Maeve had deliberately tempted herself to bring herself into her world, but now she had stopped it.

Xu Shen ate the food fed by Maeve as usual, he estimated that he would have to wait for at least a year and a half before he could fall, and it was not interesting to continue to consume here, Xu Shen chose to leave the first layer of the cage and wanted to go somewhere else to see.

Soon, Xu Shen came to the second layer of the soul cage.

The flow of time here is 1:10 with the outside world.

On the second floor of the Soul Cage, Xu Shen is still trapped, but this time the scene is an aquarium.

Xu Shen felt strange, it was obviously the first time he saw the aquarium, but when he saw it, he recognized it at a glance.

There are all kinds of strange animals inside.

Xu Shen thought about it carefully and found that these animals were recorded in the ancient books he saw.

Penguins, sea lions, sharks...... These creatures are rumored to be found at the edge of the world, in the vast oceans.

At the moment, they are all contained in this aquarium, and the aquarium seems to have been locked down by some kind of accident.

In addition to Xu Shen, there are some familiar people here.

"Mom".

Yono, Xingjun, Chen Han and others also saw the original owner.

The original owner is one of the caretakers of the aquarium.

Yono is a breeder here.

Chen Han and Xingjun are all tourists, and from their mouths, Xu Shen also knows that he and his mother are also such tourists, and there was a collapse accident outside, causing them to be trapped inside, waiting for rescue.

Quite a few tourists are here, and some try to climb outside with ropes.

Here, ropes are an important means of escape.

But the collapse caused all the escape routes to be blocked, and everyone could only stay inside, and as time passed, panic and depression permeated the crowd, and occasionally a few words of quarrel, some people had arguments, and even started to fight.

Here, Xu Shen is just an ordinary teenager with a weak individual, cowering in a corner with his mother, not involved in those rights and wrongs.

But soon the food became a problem.

So at the suggestion of a woman who looked like Xia Jingxiang, everyone voted.

In the end, the people chose to use the animals in the aquarium as food first.

Relying on the tools in the aquarium, the small and medium-sized animals such as the dying penguins were eaten one by one.

This is followed by sharks, turtles, etc.

There is a limit to what everyone can eat, and there are rich people who say they have money and want to buy more food, but no one pays attention to it at this time, and money has lost its influence here.

Barely sustaining the next month.

But there was still no movement in the rescue, and the people became more and more desperate.

In the midst of this desperation, the scarcity of food has led to even greater strain for survival.

Coupled with the fact that everyone is huddled together, excreted feces, and unavoidable physical collisions, all of which lead to more and more out-of-the-ordinary things.

When the first brawl fatality appeared, some kind of camouflage seemed to be completely torn apart.

Then the adult males come to dominate, and when the animals are finished, they start to focus on the rest of the meat.

Although Xu Shen is a teenager, he is a monarch after all, even if he is just an ordinary person's body here, his heart is extremely ruthless, and after killing the adults who want to bully him, he has set up a deterrent, and it has become a feared existence.

After all, he had a sharp harpoon in his hand for a long time.

But as the food became scarcer and even the meat left, this transcendent survival finally came to an end.

Xu Shen survived to the end.

His harpoon was the one Maeve had led him to.

In the pile of bones, only him and Maeve remained.

Everything that could be eaten around was eaten, including the belts and leather boots on some people, which were all cut and eaten by Xu Shen.

In the following days, Xu Shen could only rely on Maeve relief to find food from outside, but there was not much food he could find every time, only enough for Xu Shen to barely die.

As for why Maeve didn't help find food outside, it was naturally in this environment, if there were other people around, Maeve couldn't supply it, and it couldn't explain where the food came from.

This is a fantasy world, and Xu Shen does not regard these people as the same kind, so he has no sympathy for their deaths.

The next few days were like the first layer of cages, only waiting was left.

Xu Shen left the second layer of the cage, and then passed by the third layer of the cage.

It's still trapped in a hospital, but it's quiet, and there are no doctors or nurses.

Xu Shen was not interested in exploring, and continued to enter the deeper spiritual cage.

All the way up to the seventh level of the cage.

Xu Shen found that in each layer of the cage, his scene was to be trapped in a certain place, locked down, or imprisoned.

The scene he couldn't control.

When he arrived at the eighth layer of the cage, Xu Shen felt that he was almost at his limit.

Only a few seconds had passed in reality, but it had been an extremely long time in the eighth level of the Psychic Cage.

Xu Shen tried the way to become a god in it, lost himself, and changed his body into any shape, but failed.

Xu Shen realized that this self was not a form of "me".

When we realize that we are going to lose our "human" form, it means that we still regard this form as "self", which is meaningless to deliberately violate it.

And the change into other forms is also according to the mind, and the strange shape created by this shape is still the "self".

Xu Shen felt that his understanding of "self" was not enough, but after a long experiment on the eighth layer, he gradually understood something.

Before losing oneself, one may need to break one's self-defense.

In a small dark room.

Xu Shen stood at the door.

Many faces in the room stayed behind the half-hidden door, staring at Xu Shen and reluctantly.

Xu Shen smiled, said goodbye to the "mother" at the door and everyone in the house, he planned to go outside and really get out of the house.

Time flies.

It has been a year since Xu Shen defeated the Zero Lord to take control of the inner city.

One day.

Xingjun returned from an expedition outside and informed Xu Shen that he had found the last suitable ruin soldier.

The warrior was found at the far end of the wasteland, and was killed by a king who accompanied him on the way.

Xu Shen took over this ruin soldier, and the weight of this ruin soldier itself was only 2, which was not worth mentioning alone, but it was an important part of the book of tricks.

It is expected to end this month, and I have recently been preparing for the finishing work~
