Several times the crazed wanderers almost caught up with the car, but almost is almost. Even though they knew that the waterfall separated the boundary between life and death, once the car crossed that point, even if they successfully got on the car, they would be wiped out by the spirit-devouring water before they could even make a move.

Faced with death, panic overwhelms all emotions, and rationality vanishes completely.

After throwing the card, the chubby Gong Zhu exhaled large, transparent bubbles amidst the roars of the crowd. Unlike before, these bubbles were tightly connected to her eight octopus legs.

The little bear carried Cheng Shuang inside first, and the others followed suit.

The car slowed down right in front of Gong Zhu, and the chubby girl plopped down on the roof of the car, her eight long legs connected to a transparent ball and fastened to the sides of the carriage.

The real Feng Jiakang rolled down the car window, stuck a card on the back of the car, and immediately the car plunged into the waterfall. The fifteen-minute waterfall length was compressed into five minutes by the speeding car.

The crowd scattered and fled in panic in the dark tunnel, their expressions of terror as if the sky were falling and the earth were collapsing, no different from those of normal people encountering disaster.

The city fell, and the sea poured in.

They probably never imagined that a small button that created the secret door could be used by the maintainers. Those maintainers left them no way out, digging one huge hole after another through the central city. Seawater poured into the entire city from the third basement level to the second basement level and then to the first basement level.

Before they were submerged, the city fell, and they had no home left.

The screams and cries were stopped by the waterfall.

It was like hell on earth.

As Cheng Shuang watched this tragedy unfold, her heart pounded wildly. She felt a deep sympathy for the tragedy, but not a trace of pity, even though the idea of ​​flooding the city with seawater had come from her own mouth.

In a daze, the little girl recalled an argument between Fang Niang and Tian Sanlang.

Fang Niang, overcome with emotion, sobbed softly, saying, "I don't want this either! Tian Sanlang, do you understand? Don't you understand? I'm a grown man, trapped in a woman's skin. How much will that affect my mind and body! I'll go crazy in the long run! I don't want to instinctively swoon over every man I see, I don't want to suddenly act like a woman and put a face mask on, and I don't want those memories that aren't mine to pop up and cause trouble every now and then! Your skin may be a child's, but it's still the same sex. At most, your personality might change slightly, but that's controllable. So you don't understand, you simply can't understand the pain of being squeezed into a skin with a remnant instinct. When you're lax, it will inevitably assault your thoughts. Sooner or later, you'll forget which one is the real you and get lost in madness. I've been suffering for decades! You don't understand, but I do, Xiao Shuang understands!"

Tasaburo sarcastically remarked, "You talk as if no one but you has ever experienced suffering. This is what living is like. You can go die!"

The two parted on bad terms once again.

Whether homeless or ordinary, life is inherently difficult. Most humans still have limits, principles, and humanity; but what about the homeless?

Without their skins, they might become weak, like Fang Niang, who was trapped in a leather bag and unable to break free, but they might not necessarily die.

Even if death is inevitable, all things in nature have an end to their life. We can strive to live, but we shouldn't do so at the expense of others' lives.

The wanderers of the Abyss City not only seek to live, but they also exploit even souls; in their eyes, humans are merely inanimate objects adorning their bodies.

Cheng Shuang vaguely saw the seawater rushing in, so she turned her head away and ignored it.

She would not show mercy to executioners who seek to take lives, absolutely not.

The car never stopped.

The SUV with the card pasted on it was temporarily transformed. The four men in the cabin and the passengers on the roof were 100% alert because of the high speed. After about half an hour, Sihai slowly slowed down.

In April, they immediately took out several large searchlights and, together with the car's high beams, illuminated the area ahead.

Four dark tunnels of varying sizes appeared in the distance.

The central passageway is high and wide, while the remaining three lanes on both sides have only enough space for one vehicle to pass at a time.

Sihai recounted their exploration: "After passing through the tree roots deep in the first basement level, our mental strength was damaged. We drove all the way to the third basement level, and at the time we didn't have time to observe, so we didn't notice that there was a fork in this dark place. But thinking about it, it makes sense. If we were in the tree, and the passageway was made of branches..." He took out a small branch, wrapped it in pigskin cloth, showed it to everyone briefly, and then put it away. "It's curved and arched, which doesn't match the traditional shape of tree trunks and branches in our memory. This explains why we drove from the first basement level to the third basement level."

“And this branch of mine is straight.” Cheng Shuang, sitting inside the transparent sphere, shook the branch in her hand, and continued after they could see it clearly, “So there must be a tunnel where the branch grows upwards towards the sea!”

"This is too much of a gamble," Du Lushu frowned slightly.

"At worst, I can just use 'Eye of Penetration' to break through the branches and dive to the surface." April shrugged indifferently. Anyway, she had already turned into an octopus, so she could still move freely in the sea for a while.

"Try to get as close to the sea as possible," Sun Han concluded.

Sihai and Du Lanshan got out of the car. They were going to test which passageway was the correct direction. The largest one in the middle had to be ruled out. After all, the impression of escaping from the basement was too deep. Although it was difficult to distinguish the different passageways in the darkness, the differences in width and height could still be felt.

Just like tree branches, some are thick, some are thin, some are long, and some are short.

After Du Lanshan threw out a card, a whooshing sound of birds flapping their wings flew towards the three narrow passageways and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Before the birds could reply, April exaggeratedly sniffed, her keen senses detecting the salty smell of the sea. Her face immediately turned pale, and she shouted to the two people under the car, "Come back quickly, the sea is coming!"

A rumbling sound then echoed through the open space.

Sihai and Du Lanshan ran back. After getting into the car, Du Lanshan pointed to the narrowest passage and said, "There's a slight breeze at the end of that road, but the car can't get through there."

There was no time to hesitate. Not only was the surging seawater chasing them from behind, but the two narrow passageways in front of them were also filled with seawater, which would surround them in an instant.

"Let's go first and talk later!"

Sihai immediately started the car and turned into the windy passageway.

Du Lanshan wiped his face and said with a wry smile, "My card is wasted. God has already chosen which path we should take."

It wasn't a choice. There were only four passageways. The largest one was impassable, and the two smaller ones were flooded with seawater, making them return routes. This was the only one left, and it was a matter of life and death.

Fortunately, they were lucky. After switching from cars to motorcycles, motorcycles to hoverboards, and hoverboards to the four-legged creatures themselves, they finally saw light overhead.
