At the entrance to Peach Blossom Village.
A group of walking corpses that struggled to move was slowly clearing away piles of yellow earth.
Chu Xingchen sat in a chair before a large iron wok of hot oil, leisurely overseeing the work.
Bones were already floating in the large wok of oil; presumably, someone too blind to know better had already gone in for a bath.
These walking corpses only looked brainless; they actually weren't. Their speech was simply too filthy for Chu Xingchen in the Outer Scene to understand, but Yuankong and the Village Chief, who could enter the Inner Scene, served as a bridge for communication.

The walking corpses instantly lost their nerve, their twisted limbs getting to work on rough manual labor.
Li Yingling had initially been interested in overseeing the work, but she soon lost interest.
These walking corpses moved slowly, and their efficiency left much to be desired. Watching them work only made Li Yingling uncomfortable.

Although he didn't know whether they could actually eat, Chu Xingchen still brought out his food reserves
