"What's wrong?" Xia Meng stood up and looked at Wang Hu, "What happened?"

Wang Hu panted and ran to Xia Meng, "Someone smelled a putrid smell in Aunt Wang's house in our community, so they came to notify the security team. We came to check, but Aunt Wang refused to open the door!"

Putrid smell?

Xia Meng frowned and then called Du Chanjuan directly.

Du Chanjuan is an old resident of the community. During the extremely cold weather, Du Chanjuan has been responsible for taking care of young children and the elderly in the community. She should know the situation at Aunt Wang's home.

Although the weather is hot now, because the electricity is still sufficient, people's lives are gradually recovering.

Du Chanjuan was cooking for her children at home. She received a call from Xia Meng and asked for the reason. Her tone immediately became serious.

"I heard Aunt Wang say that her husband was drowned by the water during the flood. She also had a son and daughter-in-law, but... after the water level dropped, her son and daughter-in-law seemed to have moved to another community. Now she is the only one left in the family."

Xia Mengdao, "Are you free now? If you are free, let's go to Aunt Wang's house together. You are quite familiar with her. Please persuade her to open the door and let's go in and check."

Du Chanjuan said hurriedly, "If you have time, please wait for me. I'll go right away."

Xia Meng, "Okay!"

Du Chanjuan turned off the induction cooker, and then told the two children, "You guys should be good at home. Mom has to go out for something now and will be back in a while." Du Chanjuan hugged the shoulders of the two children with a gentle tone,

"Remember what mom told you, don't touch the electrical appliances at home when adults are not at home."

The two children nodded very sensibly.

"Don't worry, Mom, we will be good!"

"Mom, you have to come back quickly!"

Du Chanjuan kissed the two children on the face, "Yes."

Having experienced natural disasters, the two children, although young, are very sensible.

When Xia Meng arrived, Du Chanjuan had not yet arrived, and Wang Hu followed her.

Before even stepping into the corridor, Xia Meng had already smelled a vague smell of decay due to her keen sense of smell.

After entering the corridor, the smell became even stronger, and Xia Meng frowned.

Although under the initiative of the state, many people voluntarily salvage corpses and take them to crematoriums for cremation, there are still many corpses that have no time to be cremated and will quickly decay under high temperatures.

That smell was so memorable to Xia Meng that the first time she smelled it, Xia Meng was sure that it was the smell of a rotting corpse.

As for whether human corpses are rotting? This still needs investigation and confirmation.

However, Xia Meng felt that it was most likely a human corpse. If the edible meat that had been saved in the past was rotten, the worst case scenario would be to throw it away. It couldn't be eaten anyway.

Only when human corpses were rotting did she stay at home, unwilling to hand them over...

Xia Meng knocked on the door politely first, "Aunt Wang? Aunt Wang? Are you at home?"

No sound came from inside, and no one came to open the door.

Xia Meng looked at Wang Hu, who said, "Aunt Wang stays at home all day, she probably hasn't gone out."

Xia Meng, "Are you sure?"

Wang Hu, "The monitoring system of the community is being restored now. Only the monitoring system at the gate can be used. We checked before and didn't see Aunt Wang go out. She should be at home."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Xia Meng knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no movement and no one came to open the door!

Just when Xia Meng couldn't wait to kick the door open, Du Chanjuan came.

"Director Xia!" Du Chanjuan panted upstairs, and then walked to Xia Meng. She stood at the door and gasped, smelling the strong smell of decay.

"This?" Du Chanjuan's expression changed immediately, and she said solemnly, "I'll knock on the door and try."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Aunt Wang, this is Chanjuan, are you at home?"

No movement came from inside.

Du Chanjuan sighed softly, "Aunt Wang, I know you are at home. Do you think we can't get in if you don't open the door?"

"Director Xia is here too. If you don't open the door, we will have to force entry."

"Aunt Wang, there is a rotting smell at the door of your house. This kind of thing cannot be hidden, and... the country is popularizing science every day. If the rotting corpses are not dealt with in time, a plague will break out. There are so many people in our community. , if an epidemic really breaks out, what will happen then?”

"Uncle Wang has passed away, and you should learn to let it go. You...can't let everyone pay for your selfish behavior, right?"

"Aunt Wang, please open the door. We will take Uncle Wang to the crematorium. After cremation, we will bring Uncle Wang's ashes back to you."

Du Chanjuan's mouth went dry as she spoke, but there was no movement at all.

Wang Hu said angrily, "Aunt Wang is too ignorant. If an epidemic breaks out because of her, then..."

Wang Hu did not continue.

Xia Meng looked serious and said to Du Chanjuan, "I'll do it. You step back."

Du Chanjuan sighed, nodded, and then took a few steps back with Wang Hu.

They knew that Xia Meng was very strong. Although the door was thick, it was nothing to Xia Meng.

Just when Xia Meng was about to kick down the door, suddenly, her ears moved and she heard a hint of movement.

But Wang Hu and Du Chanjuan couldn't hear it. They saw Xia Meng standing there motionless and looked at each other. Du Chanjuan took the lead and asked,

"Director Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Meng, "Aunt Wang is ready to open the door."

Du Chanjuan looked happy, "Really?"

Before the words could be spoken, the door was opened from the inside, and a woman with gray hair was looking at them with tears in her eyes.

Xia Meng, "Aunt Wang..."

Before Xia Meng could say anything, Aunt Wang shook her head and said in a very sincere tone, "I'm sorry. I know it's wrong to do this, I just...can't bear it."

Aunt Wang was crying hard, her shoulders were shaking, and her whole body was crying as if she was about to collapse.

"My husband and I were childhood sweethearts. We have been together since high school. After all these years... we have almost never had a fight and our relationship has always been very good. I... I really can't bear to have him leave me."

The three of them listened in silence as Aunt Wang told her reluctance to leave her husband.

After Aunt Wang finished speaking, Xia Meng still said coldly,

"Auntie, now we have to send your husband to the crematorium."

Although Aunt Wang was very reluctant to give up, she still nodded, "Okay, you guys...slow down and don't hurt him!"

Xia Meng glanced at Wang Hu, who nodded. After a while, several security guards came over, still holding body bags in their hands.

Aunt Wang's husband's body was placed in the freezer by her. But yesterday, Aunt Wang's freezer suddenly broke. She didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until a rancid smell came out that she realized that the freezer was broken.

But it was too late, the body was already rotting.

Before entering the house, Xia Meng asked people to put on masks and protective clothing, and held disinfectant spray in their hands...
