Cave Refuge-Chapter 239 - 237: Reason for Death in Previous Life_1

Watching the daily survival points on the Data Layout gradually increase, Dong Tianyu knew that the eternal night, this heavenly catastrophe, had officially arrived.

In his previous life, Dong Tianyu had also died during this very catastrophe.

However, unlike his previous life, even after the heatwave catastrophe ended, most of the survivors did not return to live on the surface, but continued to dwell in the underground Refuge Center.

Although there had been a period of favorable weather after the end of the heatwave catastrophe, the Officials did not actively initiate restoration plans as they do now. Instead, they just madly remodeled the Refuge Center by various means of collecting usable materials.

So in the previous life, when darkness fell on earth, the surface was plunged into darkness.

However, this life was different. Under the arrangement of Officials, the survivors began to repair the infrastructure in Pengcheng, so that when darkness engulfed the earth, the lit street lamps were like countless stars, illuminating the ground.

Although the light of a single street lamp could not dispel much darkness, the sheer number, like countless stars, helped the survivors regain their sight.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu sat alone at the edge of the cave mouth platform, gazing at the brightly lit city center, with the images of his death constantly flashing through his mind.

The eternal night had come again, and memories of death were assaulting Dong Tianyu’s mind. Just how had he died?

The old Dong Tianyu was just an ordinary man, who had joined the Officials’ organized material collection team to fill his stomach, as well as to bring back some food for his parents. He would follow others to the surface to collect materials.

Normally, by the end of the heatwave, the temperature exceeding one hundred degrees would be unbearable even for the survivors hiding in the Refuge Center. There should be no creatures able to survive such high temperatures on the surface.

So theoretically, apart from the survivors who came out of the Refuge Center, there should be no other creatures surviving on the surface. Therefore, the possibility of Dong Tianyu being killed by other creatures was extremely slim.

If one eliminated the likelihood of getting killed by other creatures, then the most probable option left is getting killed by other survivors.

But this shouldn’t be the case either. Dong Tianyu’s life was very simple. He didn’t do anything else apart from following the Officials-arranged teams to the surface in search of useful materials.

As for the likelihood of a crime of passion, it was even lower. The Officials in his previous life had also implemented a compulsory marriage plan, but it wasn’t implemented after the flood disaster but during the eternal night period.

This plan had just been proposed before Dong Tianyu’s death and had not been officially put into operation, so he should not have been killed because of this reason.

Once again eliminating the possibility of a crime of passion, the only option left is accidental death.

Dong Tianyu carefully went over the memories of his death. He seemed to be moving some building materials with others. Before his death, he heard the sound of heavy objects falling, presumably, the noise caused by objects falling from the hands of others who died.

If one follows this hypothesis, then Dong Tianyu was not the first to die. The whole search team was wiped out, making accidental death an unlikely possibility.

But continuing with the conclusion of the whole team being wiped out, Dong Tianyu’s death was not targeted at him alone. The cause of death might be because the search team appeared in that location.

If this was truly the case, then things became simple. Although everything was pitch black outside, Dong Tianyu still remembered where he was, and the date of his death.

He just had to wait until the date of his death in his previous life and stake out the location of his death. Then, he should know why he died last time.

However, there was a bug in this. Because of Dong Tianyu’s rebirth, Pengcheng made better responses after the heavenly disaster and accelerated the restoration of urban infrastructure after the disaster.

Therefore, under the influence of Dong Tianyu’s slight stir, as small as the flapping of a butterfly’s wings, Pengcheng took a completely different path from the previous life. He didn’t know whether the same situation as before would happen.

While Dong Tianyu was gazing at the city center, a disturbance was quietly taking place inside his dwelling.

It was like a college girl’s dormitory. When many girls lived together, they often engaged in intrigue against each other.

Every time Dong Tianyu entered his dwelling, it was like a bygone emperor entering his harem. The wives would only compete for favor in front of him but never showed their intrigue.

But when Dong Tianyu left his dwelling, they would begin to lobby and maneuver against each other. Their ambitions were as clear as day - they all wanted to be the queen of the harem. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Although Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson were the first to move into his dwelling and had the most complete variety of clothes, their early advantage led to the later ten Canaries collectively resisting them once they got familiar with the place.

However, both Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson were not simple. Their ability to stand out among many Canaries and receive the highest rating showed how extraordinary they were.

When they perceived that they were isolated by others, Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson began to feign weakness, and then used various means to lobby and split the others.

Though the others knew what Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson were doing, everyone in the dwelling was a proud individual and none of them wanted to yield to others.

The unity of the ten was quickly broken by Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson’s display of weakness.

In the end, the twelve of them were divided into several small groups. Members of these small groups would change from time to time, even Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson joined different groups.

The only constant was that when Dong Tianyu entered his dwelling, everyone seemed to get along well in front of him, even though Dong Tianyu knew the true situation through his Divine Sense.

But honestly, Dong Tianyu didn’t want the Canaries to huddle together in harmony. As long as they didn’t do anything excessive, he would let them fight each other, after all, the more they fought, the more they depended on him.

Although eternal night had arrived, it did not seem to have caused much impact on the survivors.

Although the crops sown in the fields had rotted in the ground due to lack of sunlight, for survivors who already had mature mushroom farming experience, it was nothing more than changing the crops in the fields back to mushrooms again.

Since the crops were recently sowed, though the loss of seeds was distressing, at least not too much planting time had been wasted.

If the crops had grown and germinated before being dug up, it would be a devastating blow to countless survivors.
