The first year on the second test has been extremely useful for Shiba, but it was a different case for the next year.
Shiba was still trying to find the exit, but in the same environment, he wasn't advancing too much since he already got used.
The worst part was that after a total of two years on the second test, he had yet to find the exit despite having finished checking the fifty upper meters of all the pits in the testing zone.
The fifty upper meters of the pits were relatively safe with the level Shiba reached after the first year, but he didn't dare to go lower.
His intuition was telling him that going lower than that was throwing his life away, and he really trusted his intuition.
However, since he hadn't found the exit yet, he was starting to think about if he would be forced to do it.
