Jiang Wannian has left, but the shadow he left lingers in the hearts of Zhou Gucheng and the others.
Betrayal by the closest ones in such a perilous environment is unimaginable.
No matter the reason or motive, Zhou Gucheng feels this is simply unacceptable.
In the current dangerous environment, no one cares about life or death anymore. Since life and death are disregarded, how can anything else matter? Given this, why would close people betray and stab you in the back at a critical moment?
Zhou Gucheng cannot understand.
Zhou Zheng, Xiong Ba, and Gongcheng Qingwan equally cannot comprehend.
But Zhou Yan can truly understand, because in today's world, death is, ironically, the luckiest event — the longer you live, the more you see your relatives and friends dying, thereby experiencing intensified pain and torment.
Moreover, growing up in a harsh environment inevitably fills one's mindset with slaughter and distortion, leaving hidden dangers for oneself.
