Comfort & Trust
As the beast's red blood splattered all over the floor with small pieces of broken skull and intermingled brain matter, Bai Zemin and Shangguan Bing Xue had never felt so relieved in all their lives.

Bai Zemin and Shangguan Bing Xue were aware that if they both really wanted to, they could at least have a great chance of escaping when the Second Order bear was entertaining unleashing a one-sided massacre on the other survivors.
However, at the same time, neither of them could do such a thing. Although their motives were different, the result in the end was the same.
