The school’s mailroom was packed with mountains of food deliveries. Clearly, plenty of students had been reading doomsday posts online and started preparing for the worst.
When Caroline opened Instagram, she noticed something unusual. Zoe, who rarely posted anything, had just shared nine photos
online.
Every photo showed piles of food and winter clothes stacked sky–high.
Zoe’s caption read, “Who bought all this for me? Show yourself!”
Caroline smiled softly. The fact that Zoe had received the supplies made her feel relieved.
Zoe had helped her once, so Caroline had secretly ordered a big shipment of survival supplies and sent it to Zoe’s dorm as a thank-
you.
But the moment she saw that Instagram post, Caroline messaged her right away. “You should delete your post and hide everything. Don’t let anyone know you’ve got those supplies. Everyone’s talking about the apocalypse lately; you never know what might happen next.”
Zoe replied in seconds, “Was that you who bought it?”
Caroline didn’t answer. But after a moment, she saw that Zoe had deleted the post.
A few minutes later, Zoe called her.
When Caroline picked up, Zoe went straight to the point.
“I’ll send everything back,” she said. “I can’t accept that much stuff from you.”
Caroline sighed. Kids in school were still too innocent.
In her previous life, after years of surviving the apocalypse, she’d met all kinds of people–scheming, selfish, cruel–but rarely anyone this pure–hearted.
Caroline feigned surprise. “What? I never said I bought them. I only messaged you because I saw your post and thought about the apocalypse talk going around. Maybe the gifts are from some guy who’s into you?”
Zoe tried for a while to make Caroline admit it but finally gave up and hung up in frustration.
A few minutes later, Zoe texted. “I’ve hidden everything in different places. Whether the world ends or not, be careful out there. And… thanks.”
Reading that, Caroline finally relaxed.
Honestly, she liked Zoe’s straightforward personality. No drama, no nonsense.
She really hoped Zoe could survive what was coming.
That day, Caroline stayed busy in the kitchen, cooking nonstop.
She made 1,000 ravioli in all kinds of flavors: cheese and tomato, spinach and cheese, black truffle and burrata, wild mushroom

and more.
Once cooked, she packed them neatly–26 ravioli per container, just the right amount for one meal.
Then she started working on a variety of vegetable dishes.
Caroline started with the stronger–flavored dishes first–like sweet and tangy pork, cheese–baked potatoes, beef stew, and chili
stew.
She already had plenty of ingredients stored in her storage space. Since she had time, she decided to cook fresh batches following the recipes she had written down. Each meal went neatly into airtight containers.
When the corn was done steaming, she placed it right next to every box. Each box held a perfect mix of meat and vegetables–just enough for one meal.
When she wasn’t cooking, Caroline spent her time playing and exercising with Raven.
She soon realized that ever since Raven had soaked in the spring water from her storage space, he had gotten even stronger. Now, he could actually spar with her.
Caroline picked up a wooden stick and faced off against him.
A few rounds later, she was already losing badly.
In the end, she collapsed onto the floor, breathing hard. Raven wagged his tail proudly. “Couldn’t you go a little easier on me?” she complained.
Raven clearly understood her but pretended not to. His droopy eyes stared straight at her, unblinking, full of that “you’re just too weak” look. Caroline groaned and grabbed his big furry face, gently squishing it in mock revenge.
The next night, shocking news hit the internet. People started claiming that the acid rain was dangerous.
Some who had ignored the warnings and gone out without protection were now covered in red spots after just two days.
When they went to see dermatologists, doctors said the skin damage looked like mild acid burns.
