Several military doctors worked tensely before portable medical equipment, using various probes and patches to collect Grandma Wang's physiological parameters in full.
In the end, even they were powerless to turn the tide.
Sighing, they explained each parameter to her granddaughter.
Wang Xiaojuan nodded through tears and signed the resuscitation report.
"The patient signed a 'Body Donation Agreement' while alive. For the donation, she volunteered to join the Crimson Dragon Army's Eternal Life Brigade. According to procedure, we need immediate family and five neighbors as witnesses to ensure the entire process is compliant, reasonable, and lawful." The military doctor looked around.
Grandma Wang's mahjong companions were all willing to serve as witnesses.
Meng Chao and Bai Jiacao stepped forward as well.
"Very well. Please have the five witnesses sign here. Next, we will play the video prerecorded by the donor. Please watch carefully and ensure that all subsequent procedures fully comply with the donor's final wishes." The military doctor connected the video to Grandma Wang's television.
The screen showed Grandma Wang from several years ago, full of spirit.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, an oversized shotgun lying across her lap. Beside her crouched a Biochemical Pet Beast—a Saber-Toothed Hound named Big Tooth.
"Juan'er, if you can see this video, it means Grandma is already dead—and turned into a zombie!"
Grandma Wang in the video was still as full of vigor as ever. "Don't cry. You little girl are made of water—you've loved crying since you were small, completely unlike Xiao Cao next door.
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are nature's laws. A person is nothing but a stinking sack of skin. Once you're dead, there's nothing left. What difference does it make whether you rot away slowly or become a zombie?
"You don't need to grieve for Grandma either.
