Chapter 45 Gas Tanks and Supplies
The last thing Caroline wanted was for someone to sneak up behind her and catch her off guard.

Raven sat down quietly beside the window; his droopy face looked serious. His round dog eyes stayed fixed outside, like a small soldier standing guard.
Lately, he seemed to have grown taller again. When Caroline sat down, Raven’s head could already reach her shoulder.
Caroline finally relaxed when Raven followed her instruction.
She checked the time; it was already close to 2:30 a.m.
Caroline planned to head home by 6:30 a.m. at the latest. That gave her four more hours and ten floors left to search.
She had to move faster.
Then she got lucky. Inside a small room on the third floor, Caroline found a whole stash of gas tanks, at least a dozen of them.
The building didn’t have natural gas, so the kitchen still used tanks for cooking.
The cafeteria on that floor supplied lunch for the entire building.
Caroline quickly stored all the gas tanks inside her storage space.
When the world ended and the gas lines stopped working, these tanks would be lifesavers.
She didn’t stop there. The large fridge, the meat inside, the boxes of potatoes stacked in the corner, and all the easy–to–store food- pumpkins, sweet potatoes, bread, pasta–she took everything.
Before leaving, she looked around the cafeteria again. The heavy iron tables and chairs, the cutting boards, even the knives–she took them all.
In her last life, when she came here, the vegetables had already rotted, and the rice and flour were long gone.
Floodwater had swept away the gas tanks. She didn’t benefit from this.
This time, she came early–and it paid off.
She checked a few nearby live–stream studios. Many had already been looted, especially the ones that sold food.
Shelves that once held snacks and instant meals were half empty.
From the mess left behind, it looked like the same man had taken them.
Caroline could tell he was very picky about what he took. Unlike her, he didn’t have a storage space where he could grab anything he wanted. So, he only picked and chose a few things to carry.
Apparently, he loved spicy food. He had taken every single spicy noodle and chili–flavored meal but left behind all the seafood ramen and frozen black pepper pasta.
As Caroline cleaned out the rest, she couldn’t help twitching her lips. End of the world, and you’re still a picky eater?

She wasn’t picky. Just like before, she took everything–shelves, chairs, anything useful–into her storage space.

Then she entered another studio that sold hoodies and winter coats. She noticed right away that someone had already gone through it.
All the largest sizes were missing–the entire row of 4XL jackets was gone.
That confirmed what she’d guessed earlier. Whoever that man was, he was tall–at least six feet one. No doubt about it.
Caroline found several live–streaming studios selling skincare and makeup.
Most of the products were high–end brands she could never bring herself to buy before, the kind of stuff she’d only admire online.
There were luxury skincare sets, gold facial masks, and fancy beauty devices from spa–grade collections.
Now? She didn’t hesitate. She took them all.
Even at the end of the world, she thought with a smirk, a girl still deserves her skincare routine.
But when she reached the last room on the third floor, she froze. Inside the studio was a sheep.
The poor thing was lying weakly on the floor, barely breathing. Its food and water had run out long ago. When Caroline stepped closer, it lifted its head slightly and let out a soft, helpless bleat.
Caroline stared at the sheep–it looked oddly familiar. Its round black face was so furry that its eyes were almost hidden, and its body was much bigger than a regular sheep. The thick, curly wool looked soft and warm, like a living plush toy.
Then it hit her. A Valais Blacknose sheep! She’d seen them online before–those famous fluffy internet–famous sheep everyone
adored.
