Caroline went back to that floor because she suddenly realized something. Everything there was unusually clean. None of the giant cats had wrecked it. That could only mean one thing: something on this floor scared them away.
She had to find out what it was.
That’s right, Caroline hadn’t given up on exploring the lower floors for supplies either.
After collecting all the canned food here, she knew there had to be more meat stored somewhere in this building.
Real meat!
Caroline wasn’t short on food yet, but Raven could eat a lot.
He was growing. Who knew how much he’d need later?
Besides, this floor had fish cans–easy to store and valuable later. They could become hard currency when people start trading again.
And she still had plenty of catnip, cat treats, and toys–everything she had taken from the old pet park.
Even if she couldn’t find what scared those cats, she could use the toys or catnip to distract them.
Worst case, she could always hide in her storage space.
With that thought in mind, Caroline began to walk around the room.
What could it be that made those cats so afraid to come in here?
Once the door closed and the cats left, Raven stopped growling. That meant the place felt safe
for him.
At least this indicated to her that the thing scaring the cats wasn’t a living creature capable of attacking them.
Just then, Caroline noticed Raven had frozen in place.
Not only him–Jet, who had been circling above her head, also stopped and didn’t follow.

Caroline turned around. Raven stood a few feet away, his face showing clear disgust. Jet, too, looked uneasy.
She listened carefully but didn’t hear anything.
Then she smelled it. A strange odor in the air.
It wasn’t the usual rot of fish or spoiled food. It was sharper, sour, and harsh.
The place looked fairly clean, but it was dark. The tangled machines made it hard to see clearly.
She first pulled a mask from her storage space and put it on. Then, on top of her headlamp, she grabbed a heavy–duty outdoor flashlight.
It had a stronger beam and could light up a wider area.
Under the bright light, she finally saw it–beneath one of the machines lay a huge body.
It was a cat.
It was a large, chubby white cat–at least six feet long.
Its long fur was stiff and frosted, the body frozen solid beneath a piece of machinery. All four legs stuck straight out, and its face was twisted, as if it had died in terrible pain.
Caroline stayed cautious. She pulled a stick from her storage space and poked the body a few times from a distance.
Nothing. No movement at all. The flesh had already turned to ice.
She finally understood why the other cats refused to come up here.
Animals usually feared the corpses of their own kind–especially those that had been stronger
than them.
And this one was huge, clearly more powerful than the rest.
Maybe it had been their leader, she thought. Maybe it came up here and gave an order before dying itself.
Neither of them looked comfortable–both stood about three feet away, uneasy. Even they seemed disturbed by the strange scent coming off the corpse.
Caroline crouched and pulled the white cat’s body out from under the machine.
