"I am scared, and I feel disgusted just like you."
"But you..."
"How could I not show it?" Liang Chuyin turned her head and looked at Park Soo-young.
"Yeah, you never said anything. I thought you didn't care about this." Perhaps Liang Chuyin's words made Park Soo-young feel a sense of agreement, and her body leaned closer to Liang Chuyin.
The internet celebrity sneered, "I really don’t care."
"I do whatever Ye Zhongming tells me to do. I won't ask why, and I definitely won’t care about whether I want to do it or not."
"But isn't that contradictory?" Teacher Park looked confused, "Everyone has their own rights, everyone has the freedom to choose. We can say no."
Liang Chuyin chuckled and shook her head, "Teacher Park, I initially thought you just weren't used to it, but it seems you really can’t see clearly."
As she spoke, the internet celebrity pointed at the scattered corpses and asked, "What do you think time is like now?"
"You don't need to answer, because you already know in your heart. After this night, the world has changed. So do you think the previous values still apply?"
"Whether I like it or not, the world has changed. If I don't change, I will become that kind of monster. If I don’t change, maybe right now I would be among those corpses crushed by heavy trucks!"
Park Soo-young pushed her glasses up her nose and sighed, "What you're saying is true, but you can't just do whatever that fierce-looking guy says."
"Why not?" Liang Chuyin’s gaze remained forward as she mentally calculated the timing of their actions, "Don’t say it’s just digging for magic crystals from corpses; at most, it’ll just get a bit dirty. Even if he asked me to do something else, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second. If he just beckoned with his finger, I’d be willing to tear off my underwear and spread my legs."
"You, you, you can’t be this unprincipled!" Teacher Park had not yet married and usually maintained a pure teacher image. Hearing Liang Chuyin speak so bluntly made her face flush as she softly scolded, "Such things should only be done after marriage; it needs to be based on feelings."
"Principles? Feelings?" The internet celebrity snorted, "That’s really laughable. Even when the world wasn’t chaotic, is marriage the only time you can do this? What kind of people are filling up hotels and motels every day? Principles? When it comes to marriage, houses, cars, and money, those principles are immediately laid out! Feelings? How many lovers separate because of a house? If there are such principles about feelings, why are there still so many crying in BMWs? They’re all laughing in the back of bicycles!"
"If before the world fell apart it was only about living a better material life, and you could sleep in the same bed with someone you don’t love, have children for them, even sell your youth and body at the risk of being photographed and posted online as a mistress, then why can’t you be with someone who is actually kind-hearted and strong enough to protect you when the world is chaotic?!"
"At least, I’m talking about life! I think I’m much more noble than those who talk about money!"
Liang Chuyin put an end to the conversation between the two women, then drew her dagger and said solemnly, "Let’s go. It’s time for us to work. I don’t want to be looked down upon by Ye Zhongming for not handling this little matter well."
Seeing the slender and somewhat frail figure ahead rushing out without hesitation, Park Soo-young couldn’t quite describe her feelings. She could only follow along, feeling that something that had existed in her heart for over twenty years was slowly cracking.

Ye Zhongming's plan was to use the two heavy trucks he and Mo Ye drove to crush as many zombies as possible, while Liang Chuyin and Park Soo-young would follow behind to collect magic crystals. He needed a large number of magic crystals to spin the roulette in the supermarket in the teaching area.
