Chapter 25 A River Chapter 25 A River +5 Free Coins Over the past month , Caroline had already stockpiled more than enough food and daily necessities . Honestly , the supplies in her storage space were enough to last her entire lifetime . With Raven multiplied a hundred times over , she could still support them all ! The only problem was that the racks and water tanks she had ordered were delayed and would not arrive until tomorrow . Once she got the tanks , Caroline would need to store as much clean water as possible . Otherwise , when the acid rain came , most of the world's water sources would be contaminated , and clean water would become one of the most fiercely fought- over resources . Then there was transportation . Caroline had her eyes on two RVs and two heavy - duty off - road vehicles . The dealership told her she would have to wait until Friday , and that was three days away . However , with time running out and the apocalypse possibly arriving at any moment , even a single day felt unbearable . She quickly called the dealership . To her surprise , they said the cars had just arrived and she could come pick them up . Caroline and Raven rushed over , collected the vehicles , and immediately filled them up at a gas station , She pumped the fuel herself , storing it directly into her space . In fact , she had started doing this over a month ago , stopping at several gas stations each day and adding a few tanks at a time . Now her space contained enough fuel to last for years , She had also stockpiled wood and coal for stoves , piling them up like small mountains - enough to keep her safe through the deep freeze . The next day , Caroline finally got the long - awaited water tanks and shelves . The shop owner apologized for the delay and for making her come out in the rain . Before she left , he gave her some extra small buckets made of anti - corrosive material , saying they might come in handy at her factory . When Caroline saw the buckets , her eyes lit up - an idea sparked in her mind . The owner had given her about 20 , and she bought another 50 on top of that . She wondered if these containers could hold acid rain . Caroline knew one of the apocalypse's secrets . In the early days , most people avoided acid rain at all costs . However , after the natural disasters eased , some people developed mutations - gaining powers . Without exception , every one of them had once been caught in the rain . Those who never experienced it never mutated . Even up until her death in her previous life , no one had discovered the reason behind it . However , if she could save some acid rain ... Maybe , later on , she could grant powers to those who otherwise never would have those powers . With that in mind , Caroline headed to a nearby reservoir with her new water tanks . 1/2 Chapter 25 A River By now , the sky was dark . Making sure no one was around , she jumped into the water . As she swam , she began filling her storage space with clean water , imagining the tanks filling one by one . Sure enough , a whirlpool formed around her , with Caroline herself at its center . The water surged endlessly into the pendant at her chest . +5 Free Coins However , even after soaking for more than half an hour , the whirlpool still had not stopped . The space was not full yet . Exhausted , Caroline swam to shallower water and continued until she was too tired to move . Eventually , she fell asleep right there in the reservoir . When she opened her eyes again , it was the middle of the night . To her shock , the reservoir's water level had dropped by half . Stunned , she hurried back to shore . Since the spot was remote with no cameras around and no one in sight , she quickly changed into dry clothes and drove home . Only in the car did Caroline realize she had been in the reservoir for over five hours ! She could not help but pout in frustration - why was her space so slow at collecting water ? While waiting at a red light , she checked her space to see if the tanks were full . To her surprise , they were all empty - not a single drop inside . The light turned green , so she had no choice but to put off her inspection until she got home When she returned , Raven greeted her with a sulky look , clearly unhappy . Caroline quickly took him outside to relieve himself . While he played happily on the lawn , she dove into her storage space to figure out what had happened to all that water . After all , water was incredibly precious . What she did not expect to find was a river flowing through her space ! It stretched from beside her cabin , across the fields , and on into the distance - so far she could not even see where it ended .
