After grandpa died from a malignant infectious disease, the relatives stubbornly refused to let me cremate him.

They cursed at me, calling me a wicked girl, saying I was eager to handle grandpa's body because I must have hidden money in it, insisting on searching the corpse.

I told them the virus would spread and kill people, but they wouldn't believe it no matter what.

When they found no money on grandpa's body, in their madness, they even used a knife to cut open his stomach to look for money.

The next moment, the virus splattered onto them along with the corpse's blood.

They were all infected by the virus, becoming deranged.

Uncle even knelt before me, saying I was the only female doctor in the village, surely I could find a way to save them.

But I had already told them, once infected with this malignant infectious disease, there was simply no cure...

Grandpa had only gone to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and died at home after returning.

By the time I hurried over with my medical kit, all I saw was his ghastly corpse.

The way he died was terrifying, bleeding from the seven orifices, blood vessels all over his body bursting, resembling endless slowly squirming venomous worms.

Even the room was filled with a foul stench.

The onlooking villagers whispered in the courtyard, saying grandpa had offended the mountain gods and was punished like this.

But as the only doctor in the village, I recognized at once that grandpa had contracted the most severe malignant infectious disease.

During my studies, I had read in textbooks about this infectious disease.

After the virus spreads, it can infect an entire village of over a thousand people overnight!

The symptoms of villagers at death matched grandpa's exactly!

Looking at grandpa's miserable state, I was overwhelmed with grief.

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I had no time to mourn.

This virus not only causes the patient's body to decompose rapidly but also spreads quickly in the air!

And the only way to isolate the source of the infection is to burn the pathogen before the virus spreads.

After reporting to the disease control department, I endured my heartache and placed grandpa into a body bag, preparing to take him to a deserted area for cremation.

But just then, Uncle rushed in with a large group of relatives in great haste.

When I thought they had come to bid grandpa a final farewell, Uncle shattered my illusion with his next words.

"The old man saved up so much wealth during his life, if the money isn't divided clearly today, no one is to touch the body!"

A whole family of relatives surrounded me, each person's eyes flashing with greedy malice.

Looking at this shameless group, I was furious and indignant, my nails digging into my palm!

When grandpa was alive, he helped these relatives a lot.

When Uncle had no house for his marriage, grandpa, without a second thought, gave him his brick house as a marital home, moving himself to a mud-brick house for two decades.

When Second Aunt was sick with no money for a hospital, to scrape together her surgery fees, grandpa sold the family's only pig, saving her life.

No matter who faced difficulties, grandpa always helped as best as he could.

Over the years, he never mentioned needing repayment.

But grandpa's kindness did not earn gratitude; they even felt it was deserved.

Instead, they shamelessly said, "What's the use of an old man saving so much money? Better to use it to help the relatives!"

Now that grandpa had just passed away, these bloodsucking relatives were scrambling to divide the estate!

Are they even human?

Suppressing the turmoil in my heart, I looked at them and warned them word by word.

"Grandpa contracted a virulent infectious disease; his body must be cremated immediately. If the virus spreads, everyone will die!"

I wasn't exaggerating the truth; it's midsummer, the weather is hot, and combined with the virus decomposing, grandpa's body's decay rate will be twice that of normal.

Once the virus spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable!
