Those questions she asked weren't without purpose.
The first question was about what you would do if surrounded by zombies - would you push your companion out to block the zombies to save yourself?
Although everyone answered they wouldn't push their companion, their true inner thoughts varied greatly.
Some said they definitely wouldn't push their companion - if they did, how could they still call themselves human?
Others hesitated but still chose not to push, unable to bear the guilt on their conscience.
But those who were sent to pull radishes had all thought they would definitely push someone out - how else could they survive?
This first question tested the most basic human nature.
Failing this meant they certainly couldn't be allowed into the base.
The second question was about what you would choose when the base faced danger - you'd die if you stayed but could live if you fled.
Everyone gave their answers.
Some said if there was absolutely no point in defending the base anymore, of course they would flee.
As long as everyone stayed together, they could establish a new base.
Others firmly stated they would share the base's fate.
Only those selected to pull radishes had their first instinct as fleeing upon hearing the question.
This question was about righteousness and loyalty.
Yun Xiaoxiao actually set quite lenient passing criteria - as long as the answers weren't completely outrageous, they would pass.
Failing this was truly a matter of character.
The third question tested personal attitude.
She asked if they would be willing to work ten hours a day for the base's development.
Of course, she wasn't actually that harsh - she wouldn't really make everyone work that long, she just wanted to see their attitudes.
Most people thought it was fine.
They were just grateful to be alive, not starving, having work to do and food to eat - they were content.
Only those sent to pull radishes were dissatisfied in their hearts.
What was the point of keeping such lazy people who refused to work?
Keep them around just to waste food?
The final question about occupation was simply to identify any talented individuals, so their skills could be put to good use.
When Yun Xiaoxiao asked, Mu Yang recorded their basic information - names, gender, age, and occupation - to help with future work arrangements.
Most people had common occupations, with only a few exceptions who casually claimed random jobs, but their true occupations were either thugs or loan sharks who collected debts through violence.
So, none of those who were eliminated were innocent.
Yun Xiaoxiao sent them to pull radishes, saying the first place winner would get a chance.
She knew that putting such selfish people who lacked moral principles together, competing for the single chance to enter the base, would inevitably lead to such scenes of fighting.
"Why did you bring us here?"
Yun Shaokai asked with furrowed brows.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
"Nothing special, just that the little ones inside are hungry, so we're bringing them some food."
"What little ones?" The man also frowned.
Because Yun Xiaoxiao's words sounded very unsettling.
"Since you're so curious, let's go see now."
As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the four disappeared again.
When they reappeared, they were standing on top of the high earthen wall.
"Ah! Zombies!"
The man couldn't help but scream.
His scream caused all the densely packed zombies below the wall to turn their heads in unison.
"Roar~"
The zombies became completely agitated.
They surged forward frantically, reaching up with their black claws.
They looked at the four people as if seeing fresh, delicious food.
"What are you going to do?!"
The man's eyes widened in fear.
"Can't you see they're hungry?"
Yun Xiaoxiao spoke as casually as if discussing the weather.
"What?! Are you crazy?!"

The man's face was terrified, "Didn't you say first place could enter the base? You lied!"
"If we hadn't said that, how could we have identified someone as ruthless as you? You killed one person and seriously injured at least six others. Do you think I would let someone so vicious into my base?"
Yun Xiaoxiao sneered and kicked him down.
Hearing the man's screams, Yun Shaokai was also terrified.
He panicked and tried to escape.
But he realized the ground was too far below - jumping would mean death or at least severe injury.
More importantly, Yun Xiaoxiao still had a grip on his arm, and he couldn't break free.
He shouted in desperation.
"Yun Xiaoxiao, you're not planning to kick me down too, are you?"
Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged, "What do you think?"
