After Death Was Canceled

At three in the morning, an explosion at a chemical plant killed eleven people. Twenty minutes later, all eleven corpses began breathing again. By the end of the day, the world had confirmed one inexplicable fact In the past twenty-four hours, the human death toll was zero. Death had disappeared. Cancer patients could no longer die. People who fell from great heights woke up again. Everyone thought humanity had finally gained immortality. Until accident investigator Cheng Ye discovered that people who had survived fires were becoming more heat-resistant. Those who had returned from drowning could hold their breath for a long time. Extreme cold, poison, high pressure, radiation… Each time the body went through an event that should have killed it, it remembered and tried to make sure it would not die the same way next time. So humanity began to study death on purpose. Death training. Death formulas. Death routes. One death, two deaths, a hundred deaths. When death was no longer the end, humanity gained, for the first time, the chance to deliberately design its own evolution. But it was only much later that Cheng Ye realized Death had never truly disappeared. It had simply changed its form.
