Seeing such a brutal scene, Gong Xiao was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why this was happening, weren't they one of her kind? Why were others of her kind attacking and eating them?
She wasn't afraid, rather... deeply confused, unable to grasp why members of her own kind would do such things, what was propelling them? She couldn't fathom it!
Ever since that instance, she'd seen even more of her own kind devoured by their kin. She wanted to save them, but fear gripped her heart. It was as if an incessant whisper was warning her: "They will harm you!"
Because of this "voice," she watched helplessly more times than she wished as her brethren cannibalized their own kind.
She faltered to comprehend what she was; she only knew the existence of zombies and humans, yet she couldn't grasp the difference between the two.
She started to understand the rules — her own kind would consume those amongst them who could speak, as if some force was manipulating them into cannibalism!
