Cave Refuge

This made Ye Liuyun have two guesses about Dong Tianyu’s backpack. The first guess was that the backpack was like the storage props in novels, where its real capacity had no relation to the size of the backpack itself. Dong Tianyu had stored a lot of things inside, and it was even possible that all of Dong Tianyu’s belongings were in there, which was why whenever he needed something, Dong Tianyu could always take it out from the backpack.

The second guess was more magical than the first. It was that Dong Tianyu’s backpack was just an ordinary backpack, but Dong Tianyu had an ability similar to prediction or divination. He could predict what items he would need each day and thus pack them in advance.

Although the second guess was more magical than the first, Ye Liuyun believed it more because he had once investigated Dong Tianyu’s experiences before the disaster and found that Dong Tianyu was unremarkable before the disaster and also remained unnoticed in the early days of the disaster.

However, when investigating Father Dong’s experiences, he accidentally discovered the Thompson Family’s experiences during the various stages of the disaster, and this investigation led to a very unexpected discovery for Ye Liuyun.

Before each disaster occurred, the Thompson Family seemed to have foreknowledge, moving to the most suitable places and stocking the most appropriate supplies.

Despite the disasters hitting one after another, looking back carefully, Ye Liuyun realized that neither when he was in contact with Dong Tianyu nor when he saw Father Dong and Mother Dong did they ever wear clothes with patches.

Although Ye Liuyun had not worn patched clothes either, could the situation of the Thompson Family really be the same as the Taylor family? To put it bluntly, before the disaster, whatever level the Thompson Family was at, it would have been a great honor just for them to speak with the Taylor family, let alone interact as equals.

But after several rounds of disasters, not only did the Thompson Family not fade into obscurity, their family fortunes actually prospered, and now Ye Liuyun found himself seeking favors from them.

If it couldn’t be explained rationally, then interpreting it through a magical lens made all of Dong Tianyu’s experiences comprehensible.

After all, before the disaster, most people thought martial arts were just for show and had no practical combat ability, but as the disaster unfolded, the status of Martial Artists began to rise gradually, even creating a huge gap between them and ordinary people in all aspects.

So Ye Liuyun wouldn’t doubt it if someone told him that Dong Tianyu had obtained a precognitive special ability before the disaster.

Dong Tianyu noticed Ye Liuyun’s gaze on his backpack and guessed that Ye Liuyun had noticed the abnormality of his backpack.

After all, every time Dong Tianyu appeared, he was carrying the same backpack. Once or twice might not mean much, but after numerous appearances, anyone familiar with him would notice the issue.

However, such things, as long as they are not explicitly mentioned, everyone would understand without saying it, and no one would deliberately probe into others’ secrets, especially on this particular date.

As the two left the airport, staff at the exit were responsible for guiding them to the designated hotel for rest, and on the way, they received a brief explanation of the current situation in Kyoto.

The most important thing was to inform them of the rules that outsiders had to follow after arriving in Kyoto.

In fact, there weren’t many rules, and compared to the laws before the disaster, the rules to follow now were much more relaxed.

Because the two were familiar with each other, and neither Ye Liuyun nor Dong Tianyu was a difficult person, they ended up in a double room at the hotel after giving a pack of cigarettes as a small tip. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Once in the room, Dong Tianyu finally asked Ye Liuyun about Old Luo’s situation.

Upon hearing Dong Tianyu’s question, Ye Liuyun collapsed onto the bed as if all his bones had been removed, and then lazily said to Dong Tianyu, "Don’t worry about Old Luo. He has someone specifically in charge of him, and he’s treated much better than us."

Dong Tianyu had only asked casually without any particular purpose, so after learning about Old Luo’s situation, he did not elaborate further.

The two didn’t rest long in their room before they heard a knock on the door from the room service staff, announcing that dinner was ready and they could freely enjoy it in the dining room.

Upon hearing there was food, Ye Liuyun immediately jumped up from the bed, "Come on, today is our first day in Kyoto anyhow. Kyoto should offer us something good in welcome, let’s hurry before all the good food is taken by others."

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s words, Dong Tianyu too leapt up with a fish-like flip, jumping down from the bed. Although he had many things in his Storage space and Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson would take turns cooking in the Cave, even dishes like lobster, abalone, and crab tasted the same after eating them every day. Thus, Dong Tianyu was more interested in tasting the local specialties of Kyoto.

After all, when the disaster struck, the local special foods could no longer be found everywhere like before. The specialties of each place, not to mention the cooking techniques, were extremely difficult to obtain in other cities just in terms of raw materials.
