"They might have used some unconventional methods."
When Jiang Wenyuan tried to approach the surviving refugees, Shan Bing immediately pulled him back.
In places ravaged by monsters, trying to survive requires unconventional methods — be it by smearing poop on oneself or burying oneself in the ground. The idea is simply twofold: either make oneself appear unappetizing or ensure the monsters can't reach you.

"There's not much dirt on them, and no sign of poop either."
Shan Bing's face grew solemn.
"They might have killed their own."
Indeed, that's the third way: killing one's own before the monsters attack, enduring the madness brought by the Evil Qi, and acquiring new strength — though it merely brings the Evil Qi into their bodies, it greatly enhances their reactions and physical capabilities.
Moreover, they don't necessarily need to fight the monsters; they just need to be able to run faster than other refugees.
"Killing to exchange for Evil Qi…"
