Chapter 28 Stocking Up for the End of the World Chapter 28 Stocking Up for the End of the World Even abroad , the skies were gloomy with endless rain . It really felt like a sign that the apocalypse was coming . After buying the car , Caroline still had over six million left . She planned to spend it all within the next few days . That very day , the grains she had ordered earlier were delivered . +5 Free Coins Caroline told others she was opening a supermarket , so besides the previous batch , she also bought a variety of coarse grains this time - mung beans , red beans , black rice , brown rice , and so on - adding up to two hundred tons . Nutritious , filling , and good for adding variety to meals . She had the grains sent to a factory she had rented , in a remote suburb . When no one was around , she and Raven moved everything into her space . At the same time , Caroline placed an order for another round of vegetable and fruit tree seeds . The ones she had bought earlier for testing weren't enough . She thought about the farmland inside her space . Even if the seeds grew into strange things , it was still better than wasting them . Once the apocalypse arrived , she would have plenty of time to farm and study the space . The entire day was spent storing everything away . She also went to the markets to stockpile fresh fruits and vegetables . On top of that , she bought thousands of food containers so she could keep cooking and storing meals in the early days of the apocalypse . འ་ ་ ༤ After all , once power and water were cut off , food would be scarce . If someone cooked openly , it would only attract envy . Caroline even bought two big pots , planning to cook corn overnight . That way , when the world collapsed , she could still enjoy sweet corn . The day passed in this whirlwind of preparation . Yet , that night , she suddenly got a call from Niko . He said he would be bringing a friend over the next morning to check in on Raven . The moment she heard that , Caroline tensed . How was she supposed to explain Raven's vanished scars ? Still , there was no avoiding it . Early the next morning , Niko showed up as promised , with another soldier from the unit . Caroline had seen him before - back when she first adopted Raven , he had been watching closely the whole time . She could tell he had a special bond with the dog . The two of them brought along snacks they knew Raven liked . The moment Raven saw them , it wagged its tail furiously , showing a rare bit of friendliness . Niko was stunned . " Wow ? I didn't expect Raven to be this affectionate now . He's grown tool " And it was true . Raven had gotten bigger . Since learning it needed more nutrition , Caroline had been feeding it well , and it had grown rapidly over the past few days Sitting down now , it was nearly level with her chin 1/2 P P Chapter 28 Stocking Up for the End of the World She even had a hunch that after the bath yesterday , its growth would only speed up further . All of this would make it even stronger once it mutated . When that time came , Raven would surely be one of the fiercest among mutant dogs . " Wait , what happened to the scar on Raven's back ? " The other soldier , introduced as Haroldson , was the one who spoke . He pointed at Raven's back in surprise . Raven , being its goofy self , sat up straight as if to show off , letting them get a good look . +5 Free Coins Niko's eyes lit up instantly . He crouched down , running his hands along Raven's back , searching for the old wound . " It's gone Really gone ? " Caroline rubbed her nose and delivered the excuse she had prepared , " After I took Raven in , I wanted to heal that scar , so I tried all kinds of remedies . I guess one of them worked . Dogs heal faster than people anyway , so it looks like Raven's fully recovered . " Niko looked at her like she had just revealed some priceless treasure . " Ms. Sinclair , do you remember the remedies you used ? A lot of my brothers - in - arms have scars too ! " Caroline froze for a second . That had just been an excuse , as she had not actually looked up any remedies . Yet , when she heard that those soldiers had been injured defending the country , her heart softened . An idea sparked . " Hold on a second ." She slipped into her bedroom , locked the door , and entered her space . From there , she filled two bottles with spring water . Then , she hesitated . The spring water's healing power was too intense . If it instantly grew back flesh and skin , it might terrify people . So instead , she poured the two bottles into a larger jug of regular water , diluting it before taking it out .
