Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 320 - 316: The Disappearance of Zhang Shanni 4

——————

After performing the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, Zhang Shan Ni leaned against the cave wall to catch her breath. She reluctantly scanned the entirety of the cave within a three hundred meter radius for one last time, ensuring that aside from the iron lock outside the door, there were no other dangers left. Only then did she, breathing unevenly, slowly sit down.

This place could be considered the only spot in the entire cave barely suitable for sitting.

Although still damp, at least it was free of water stains.

Fortunately, she was only putting on an act, and her husband would soon find her.

She wasn’t really ’torturing’ herself; upon checking her clothes, she felt they were a bit too dry, which is why she forced herself despite feeling filthy to sit down.

There was no need to fake a dirty face, it was messy enough, with her pale complexion highlighting the slight scratches and her disheveled hair, which was a cause for concern.

However, it was silly to have dry and comfortable clothing in such a damp cave, an obvious discrepancy if it came to attention.

Feeling that familiar and comforting aura rapidly approaching, Zhang Shan Ni finally felt at ease. She slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth, trying to appear more disheveled; this was the last time she used her spiritual power without drinking the Spirit Core Water.

Naturally, this was under the condition that the fetus in her womb was safe.

"Wife! Are you alright?" Xie Jingchen saw his wife leaning by the door, exhausted and pale, from the window. He called out to her with a hoarse and restrained voice.

"Mm..." Zhang Shan Ni hummed softly.

She wanted to show him a smile, but thinking of her current dirty and unsightly appearance, she decided against it.

"Don’t worry, wife, I’ll open the door right now!" Seeing his wife’s weary and pale appearance, Xie Jingchen felt a surge of heartache and tried to maintain his composure as he spoke.

His actions were swift; seeing the lock on the iron door, he burst it open. Just as he was about to pull the door, he paused his movement and then circled around the iron door to inspect!

Though the mountain air was fresh, his sensitive nose still caught a hint of gunpowder!

Alarmed, he dared not open the door but instead explored the rocks above the iron door.

Upon seeing no movement outside the door, Zhang Shan Ni somewhat hesitantly released her spiritual power again. Seeing her husband cautiously inspecting around the iron door, her heart skipped a beat. To her surprise, he quickly found the fuse; she hadn’t expected her husband to be so meticulous.

Instantly, Zhang Shan Ni dared not delay, her spiritual power gently touched his cold, hard face, and she said, "Husband, don’t worry, I’ve secured all the explosives."

XE Jingchen paused, pulling out the connected fuse and spoke in a very soft voice, "Wife, gather this too."

Upon hearing that, Zhang Shan Ni obediently stored the mentioned item in her Space.

Seeing no further obstacles, Xie Jingchen immediately leaped down and arrived at the iron door.

When he forcefully opened the heavy iron door, the sky had darkened, and with Xie Jingchen’s arrival, came the cold mountain winds.

In Xie Jingchen’s eyes, his usually clean wife was sitting dirtily on the ground, her tiny hands resting on her abdomen, gently stroking it from time to time, as if soothing their child—

"Uh, cold!" This sentence from Zhang Shan Ni finally snapped Xie Jingchen out of it.

"Wife—" The emotional impact was immense for Xie Jingchen, and he maintained his composure as he softly called out.

Aside from that first unexpected encounter, how long had it been since he’d seen his wife in such a disheveled state?

He rushed forward, knelt on one knee, and tenderly lifted the petite figure off the ground, cradling her into his arms. His large hand first brushed away the dirty hair on her face, feeling the icy coldness of her skin tightened his heart, and he quickly asked:

"wife, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Hubby, the mountain wind blew in, my head hurts, it’s so cold!" Zhang Shan Ni was more direct, already wrapping her arms around his neck as he picked her up, shivering slightly from the cold.

There was no helping it, her clothes were damp with moisture.

At this moment, Da Rong and others who followed Xie Jingchen also arrived. Aware that it wasn’t the time for talking, they said, "wife, let’s go home first."

Zhang Shan Ni weakly nodded, her lips and complexion pale without a trace of color, which pained Xie Jingchen deeply. He quickly took off his Military Uniform and wrapped it around her, pressing his lips together as he carried her swiftly away from the area.

Da Rong, who was still on his way up the mountain, was startled to see his leader carrying his sister-in-law like a gust of wind reappearing before his eyes, feeling simultaneously surprised and delighted.

However, seeing the sister-in-law’s face pale as snow and their leader’s dark, heavy expression, everyone’s heart skipped a beat, and they could only quickly follow them down the mountain.

Zhang Shan Ni felt very cold.

The mountain wind blew through the Military Uniform, sending chills. Plus, the dampness in her clothing made her feel even colder. The piercing cold attacked her, and her head felt heavier. Apart from instinctively snuggling closer to the warm body of the man, she also instinctively used her spiritual power to soothe the fetus in her womb.

"Cold~~" Zhang Shan Ni murmured softly.

Her body’s involuntary shivering made Xie Jingchen’s expression even grimmer.

But now, halfway up the mountain, everyone’s clothes were soaked through, not a single one was dry. It was impossible to reveal his little wife’s secret just for a piece of clothing.

Xie Jingchen could only increase his pace down the mountain, no longer mindful of the leaping arcs being too large, which might frighten the little woman in his arms.

Since stepping out of the cave, Zhang Shan Ni, who had let her guard down, was already half-unconscious, merely holding on instinctively to the neck she grasped.

Back at the car, Xie Jingchen immediately took his Military Uniform he had stored in the car, signaling Little Rong to scout ahead before he directly stripped his little wife’s wet clothes, seeing her arms and wrists swollen and bruised, his heart flared up more intensely.

After changing her into clean, dry clothes and feeling the temperature on her forehead, he softly called his wife, "Wife, wake up, you have a fever. What medicine do you have? Take some first!"

The trip back to the base would take at least three hours; he worried she wouldn’t last.

Although Zhang Shan Ni was half-unconscious, the man’s words clearly passed through her eardrums into her brain. She was startled, no wonder she felt cold and so uncomfortable; she had a fever.

Thinking of the fetus in her belly, her heart tightened, and she instinctively reached for her forehead with her small hand, but she was feverish and couldn’t discern anything.

"Wife, do you have any medicine that pregnant women can take?" Xie Jingchen saw her movement, realizing she had somewhat regained consciousness, and gently pulled her into his arms to ask.

"Husband~" Zhang Shan Ni murmured, her mind fuzzy, thinking, Medicine? What medicine?

Her heart also thought, she shouldn’t just take any medicine, she can’t just take medicine carelessly, the baby is uncomfortable... Then, Zhang Shan Ni instinctively took out a bottle of Superpower Water, "Drink water..."

Hearing this, Xie Jingchen immediately opened the water bottle, wanting to feed it to her, but realizing she was too dazed and couldn’t clearly understand what he was saying.

Xie Jingchen then held a small sip in his mouth and fed it slowly into her mouth.

However, to his fright, as he fed her more and more water, his little wife’s face turned redder and redder...

"Wife! Wife?" Xie Jingchen gently patted her small face, trying to awaken her consciousness—
