Just a few seconds ago he was alive, but moments later he turned into a pile of ashy bones, which Ye Nai collected into her space.
There were too many skeletons in her space, so she had specially separated an area with fungal partitions.
Then, she found another soldier to inquire.
This second soldier made the better choice between money and life—he chose money. However, Ye Nai's offer here was lower; she paid only one silver coin. The man took the money, got up, and led Ye Nai through the streets to his superior.
Soon after, he collapsed on the spot and passed out again.
After waking up the superior, who also chose money over life, he accepted two silver coins and led Ye Nai to yet another superior.
In this way, most of the superiors were willing to take the money. She worked her way up the ranks, sometimes taking detours, and those who didn't cooperate were killed off, before seeking the next one.
