Chapter 12 Those Old Memories Any place that looked good or caught her eye , she'd grab 30 cups from each !

No way she could skip it . Caroline picked 40 cups in all sorts of flavors , paid for them , and carried the pile off down the street . When she found a quiet spot , she stored all the drinks in her storage space ! Just thinking about adding more milkshakes to her shopping list for tomorrow made her really happy . Raven didn't like sweets much , and Caroline didn't dare let him eat random stuff . So they finished their walk and went home . Caroline held a giant cup of milkshake in one hand and Raven's leash in the other , feeling incredibly happy . That night , she practiced her knife skills again and also did punches and kicks to build up her strength At the same time , she started packing up her stuff . She planned to pack everything in the house . Her old house was already sold , and the agent had agreed to give her five days to move out . +5 Free Coins For the new place , Caroline had already found a good renovation company. She wanted to strengthen the glass and floors , insulate the walls , and put in two stoves . The kind that burned wood and coal . When the stoves were running , the whole house would be warm . Her bed would be right next to one of them . At first , she thought about making a heated floor bed like people use up north , but realized it would keep her stuck in one spol Maybe she could do that later if there was time . The most important things were the doors and windows ! When the apocalypse began , extreme weather would be a problem , sure . But the real danger was other people who might try to hurt her . Strong doors and windows were a must . For the glass , she chose bulletproof glass . All the windows would have reinforced bars on the outside , For the door , she picked the strongest double - layer style . The outer door was a huge steel gate , 1.5 inches thick . She hadn't decided on the inner door yet , but planned to look at it in the next few days . That night , she packed up the few things she still had . Sitting in the middle of a pile of boxes , Caroline looked around her old house and felt a little sad 1/2 p p . Chapter 12 Those Old Memories This was the home her parents had left her . If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't practical for surviving the apocalypse , she wouldn't want to leave . Most of the stuff she was packing was just little items that wouldn't help in the apocalypse . Like her old elementary school diary . Big bow hair clips . Photo albums that her parents had left her . Yearbooks with classmates ' messages from graduation . +5 Free Coins None of them could be eaten or used to survive . But to Caroline , they were her life and memories . In her previous life , she hadn't had a chance to take these little treasures and had to leave them behind in this house . She had to abandon the house and everything in it . The only thing she managed to grab was a family photo . Now, having time to go through her things made her feel really happy . She took a deep breath and put all the packed items into the small house inside her storage space . Even though it was small , she tried to keep everything neat , arranging it like her old home . If she ever got the chance , she wanted to rebuild the house from her memories . While she was lost in thought , staring at the family photo she'd kept for years , Raven suddenly pushed his big head into her lap , making her jump . His dark eyes looked at her , full of worry . That's when Caroline noticed tears running down her cheeks . " Are you worried about me ? I'm fine , " she whispered , gently patting Raven's head . This big dog was just too adorable . It was also the first time in days that he had snuggled into her like this . Did that mean Raven was starting to really like her ? The thought made Caroline so happy that she tried to hug him tighter . But Raven , seeing that she was fine , dashed out of her arms in a flash , leaving only his big black butt behind . Caroline sighed helplessly . This dog was definitely a little diva . Before going to bed , she didn't expect to get another text from Jonathan . Ite was just as annoying as ever , talking abour dreams for the future and cringey memories . Just thinking about Jonathan probably being with Reese right now made Caroline feel disgusted . 1 : |: ཀྱི ཀཱ སཱ སུ
