"We would either starve here, or get pulled to defend the city gates."
...
The conversation was held in a teahouse or a restaurant. They had some money, so they could come to this kind of place to eat.
But in another place, it could be said that the ground was full of corpses. These corpses had all starved to death, and many of them had numb faces.
Many of the people here were naked and dirty. Their faces were numb and lifeless. They did not even have the energy to hide their shame.
The starving man's eyes were dizzy. He looked at the dead man on the ground with green eyes and could not help but pounce on him and take a bite.
He was immediately kicked away by an officer.
"Get out of here, go! Just starve to death! If we eat the dead, we'll get infected and we'll suffer too!"
