Chapter 29 Folk Remedy Chapter 29 Folk Remedy After that , she grabbed a few more bottles of regular water and poured them into the jug . +5 Free Coins That way , the spring water was diluted , with only about ten percent concentration left in the jug . Looking at the colorless , tasteless water , Caroline felt it was not convincing enough to pass as a " folk remedy ," so she tossed in some herbs and let them steep for a while until the water turned a faint yellow . Since the apocalypse had not arrived yet , giving away a so - called folk remedy would not raise much suspicion . When she came out of the bedroom carrying the huge jug , Niko was stunned . " This is the remedy you were talking about ? " Caroline nodded with a slightly embarrassed smile . " Well , folk remedies are always a mix of things . I just happened to come across this one by chance . Take it with you and portion it out - I don't have extra bottles here . " Niko said they did not need that much . However , Caroline insisted , speaking seriously , " This remedy is supposed to work even on fresh wounds . You can test it out . If it really helps , your team can just carry a little whenever you're out on missions ." Hearing that , Niko thanked her repeatedly . Beside him , Haroldson looked intrigued , even showing off a scar on his arm and saying he wanted to try it when they got back . Niko laughed and rapped Haroldson on the head . " Don't waste it on your arm . Some of the guys have scars on their faces that hurt their chances of finding a wife . " They chatted a little longer about Raven before Niko and Haroldson said it was time to leave . As they were heading out , Haroldson hugged Raven's neck and revealed his real story . Raven had once saved his life . Back then , Haroldson had been on a mission with Raven . Because he was inexperienced , he almost died - if not for Raven throwing itself in to protect him . " Ms. Sinclair , seeing how close Raven is to you , and knowing you've healed its wounds , I feel relieved . Please take good care of it ! If you ever run into trouble , don't hesitate to reach out to me . " Saying that , Haroldson even saluted both Caroline and Raven . Caroline felt a little embarrassed , so she packed up some homemade snacks for them . Over the past few days , she had spent plenty of time experimenting with recipes at home - better to learn now than sit idle until the apocalypse came . Niko took a bite of a pastry and praised her skill , making Caroline blush . When he finally left , carrying the large barrel of " purified water ," he thanked her again . Caroline waved with a smile , telling them it was nothing . But in her heart , she knew why she had given them so much of the spring water from her storage space ; it was because it really could heal wounds ! It had restored Raven completely , so there was no doubt this water was extraordinary . She could not tell Niko about the apocalypse , of course . If she did , she would never be able to explain it away . ! / 2 Chapter 29 Folk Remedy +5 Free Coins However , when that time came , those soldiers would be the ones standing on the front lines , inevitably getting hurt . This water could very well save their lives . As they were saying goodbye, Niko hesitated , then told Caroline , " Caroline , in the coming days , there might be some extreme weather . Be careful , and stock up on supplies ." Her brows lifted at that . Clearly , some people in the government had already noticed abnormal weather patterns . Even so , they probably had not predicted the apocalypse itself . Otherwise , the losses in her previous life would not have been so severe . She thanked him and saw the two out . Then Caroline looked out the window . The rain was still coming down , harder and harder , and she started to feel uneasy . 7 She called a few acquaintances , telling them she had heard from a friend that extreme weather was coming , and that they should stock up on supplies . Actually , the internet was already buzzing with this talk . While nothing major had changed in the north where Caroline lived , word was that the south had been hit with even stranger weather . No wonder so many people online were urging everyone to store food , as the topic was trending everywhere . So her words did not seem odd at all . After making those calls , Caroline headed to the reservoir again . This time , she collected more water in large barrels , storing it for daily use after the apocalypse . And unlike before , her storage space did not swallow it up . Once she finished , Caroline began to think about how she should best use the few million left . There were still things she had not bought yet , but she also had other plans for after the world ended . She did not need to spend everything right away . When the acid rain started falling and people were too afraid to go outside , that would be her time to shine . And by then , Raven should have evolved , too .
