19 36 301 ??? Princess Bella, should we trust this intel? 2
20 37 301 Bella How many times do I have to tell you?! Just call me Bella! Don't use what you learned from your manga on me. They don't say it like that in those books anyway! 1
21 38 301 ??? Perhaps you should read more books, Bella-chan. 2
22 39 301 Bella Yikes... Give me a break. 1
23 40 301 Bella It's hard to tell if it's true, but resources are depleted around here anyway, and we still have some food reserve, we might as well check it out. 1
24 41 301 ??? Then I'll make the preparations. If we run into any danger, I'll protect you like a Cardman Rider, Bella-chun. 2
25 42 301 Bella Pff! Slime, if you call me anything like that again, I'll rip all the books in your backpack. 1
26 43 301 Slime? Whatever you say, you're doing what you hate the most yourself. 2
27 44 301 Shrek My name is Shrek! Plus, that rotten chicken soup book in your hand should be ripped apart first! 2
28 45 301 Bella This is faith! The harsher the environment, the more important it is to believe in hope. 1
29 46 301 Bella As long as we have a strong heart, there's nothing we can't overcome! 1
30 47 301 Shrek It's a placebo, Bella dear. 2

37 54 301 He is not wrong. Bella and Shrek are good fighters. Together they have taken over several mobster bases, plundered their food reserve, then made a killing by selling the loot.
38 55 301 If it were not for their obsession with books, they would probably have saved up more supplies and would not have to venture into the rumored ruins.

42 59 301 Shrek screeches painfully. A page of his precious book is torn.
43 60 301 Shrek Damn it... I should've traded the supplies for a terminal instead! Synthetic paper is such a nuisance! 2
44 61 301 Bella A terminal? Can you even afford using it?! We'd still have a ton of food left if it wasn't for the books! 1
45 62 301 Bella ...Anyway. Let's just go to the ruins. It'll be dinnertime soon if we keep dilly-dallying. 1
46 63 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Shrek mournfully holds the torn book in his arms and drags his feet behind Bella toward the ruins.
49 66 301 AniZhuanchangEnd After a tedious trek, the two finally arrive at the ruins, but what they see gives them goosebumps.

53 70 301 Frail scavengers are crawling on the streets. A bright red fluid gushes out of the ground and swallows them quickly.
54 71 301 Shrek It seems that even the planet is crying bloody tears. 2
55 72 301 Bella ignores Shrek's poetic comment. She grabs hold of a scavenger and waves a biscuit in front of him.

60 78 301 Scavenger They say it's heaven. 3
61 79 301 Bella Heaven? 1
62 80 301 Scavenger I dunno. They say if you jump in, you'll have eternal life. You can even come out of it and talk. 3
63 81 301 Shrek ...Is that the river Styx? 2
64 82 301 Scavenger I don't have many friends in there, so I've only seen other people's friends come out of it. 3
65 83 301 The pair exchanges a silent glance. The scavenger may be scrawny but it looks like he is telling the truth.
66 84 301 Scavenger The recent new comers have all jumped in. I'm kind of timid, still debating what to do. 3
67 85 301 Scavenger But everyone has been saying that since we're starving and miserable already, we might as well give this unknown heaven a try. 3
68 86 301 Scavenger And you know what, everyone that jumped in said it was great when they came out. 3
69 90 301 The scavenger takes the biscuit from Bella and gives them a bow.
70 91 301 Scavenger Thank you. There are a few ruffians around here. Try to stay away from them. 3

75 93 301 Shrek Should we bring them to justice and replenish our supplies in the process? 2
76 94 301 Bella Good idea, but we should figure out what they're capable of first. 1
77 95 301 Bella Resources around our area are running low. We have to restock before we can travel further. 1
78 96 301 Shrek I'll do as you wish, Bella love. 2
79 97 301 Maddened, Bella holds in her anger and opens the nostalgic Chicken Soup for the Soul magazine and begins to read through "Forgiveness is the Key". Shrek squats down in anguish as if he heard a banshee screech.
