Chapter 348 Bloodline Resonance
Gao Jianjun nodded and relayed the order via radio.
After starting the truck, it drove northwest along a barely visible dirt road.
Lu Jingyan and his team followed far behind, cautiously advancing under the cover of night.
After driving for about half an hour, the truck stopped in an open area.
There were a few simple shacks there, with some mining equipment scattered around.
Lu Jingyan raised his binoculars and saw through the night vision goggles that Black Wolf jumped out of the car and was talking to several people in white coats.
One of the doctors in white coats handed him a small box. Black Wolf opened it, looked inside, and nodded in satisfaction.
“That box must contain samples of moonflower grass,” Gao Jianjun whispered to Lu Jingyan.
Lu Jingyan remained silent and continued to observe.
He saw the man in the white coat lead the black wolf into one of the sheds, and then come out again about ten minutes later.
This time, Black Wolf had an extra scroll in his hand, which looked like documents or blueprints.
“That’s what we need.” Lu Jingyan put down his binoculars. “Prepare for action.”
Gao Jianjun immediately relayed the order, and the team members quietly dispersed, flanking the enemy from different directions.
Lu Jingyan reached the nearest cover to the shed and pulled out a short blade from his waist.
Moonlight streamed through the clouds, reflecting a cold glint from the blade.
He took a deep breath and touched the amulet on his chest with his right hand.
"Wantang, wait for me," he murmured to himself. "Once I get this intelligence, I can return to the capital."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared into the night.
......
Meanwhile, late at night, in Courtyard No. 1.
Su Wantang was suddenly awakened from her deep sleep by a force in her abdomen.
"Hmm..."
A suppressed cry of pain escaped her throat, and she arched her body violently as if she had been electrocuted.
It wasn't the gentle fetal movement we usually feel, nor was it the sound of little fish blowing bubbles, nor the soft thumping of tiny feet.
At that moment, the little one inside my belly was churning violently.
A strong, indescribable bloating pain exploded from the center of her abdomen, instantly engulfing her entire body.
The child was rolling around inside, punching, and even doing a 360-degree loop.
Su Wantang's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and she gripped the bed sheet tightly beneath her.
pain.
Excruciating pain.
It was even more direct and more ruthless than the pain of chemotherapy in my previous life.
Just as she felt she was about to be torn apart by this force, a strange sensation pierced through the physical pain and reached the depths of her consciousness.
She closed her eyes, and her rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
In the midst of extreme pain, she seemed to hear a faint sound of water.
gurgling... bubbling...
The voice was incredibly familiar, carrying the breath of life, clear yet full of power.
It's the spiritual spring in the Begonia Space!
The moment this thought crossed her mind, the fetal movement in her womb resonated with the ethereal sound of water, creating a strange echo.
The spring water gurgled, and the little one inside her kicked excitedly.
The sound of the water gradually subsided, and the churning force also calmed down.
What... what's going on?
Su Wantang's heart skipped a beat; the Begonia Space was her biggest secret.
Besides her, no one else could possibly know, let alone have any contact with her.
But now, her unborn child is able to resonate with the spiritual spring in the space through her belly?
Her mind was racing.
The Begonia Space originated from her mother's Phoenix Blood Jade Bracelet, and the key to unlocking it is her Bai family bloodline.
She and this child share the same blood.
Could it be... that the power of this space can be passed down through bloodlines?
This guess made Su Wantang freeze, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
Is this a blessing or a curse?
If a child is born with a connection to space, can this secret still be kept?
If one day the child accidentally reveals the existence of the space, what awaits the mother and child will be an abyss of no return!
The intense fetal movements and the mental shock were like two invisible hands, frantically draining all her strength.
When the churning in her stomach finally subsided, an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion overwhelmed her.
She collapsed onto the bed, gasping for breath, her pajamas soaked with cold sweat.
The space beside me was empty and cold.
If Lu Jingyan were here...
Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore.
If he were there, he would stroke her belly again and again with his large, warm hands, and soothe her with his deep voice.
He would hold her tightly in his arms and tell her not to be afraid.
He would say, "I'm here for you."
But now, he's not here.
He was facing an enemy far more dangerous than the thunder in her heart in the northwestern Gobi Desert, thousands of miles away.
An indescribable loneliness and helplessness enveloped her like a tide.
Su Wantang could no longer lie still. Supporting her aching back, she struggled to sit up in bed and moved to the table to pour herself a glass of warm water.
The water glass was still trembling slightly in my hand.
She walked to the window, pushed it open a crack, and the cool night breeze blew in, clearing her confused mind a little.
The courtyard was quiet, with only the occasional sound of patrolling soldiers' orderly footsteps coming from afar.
She looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, her longing for Lu Jingyan so intense it was overwhelming.
Jingyan, where you are... is the same moon shining over you too?
How are you?
Do you know what? Our child almost killed me just now.
Do you know how much I miss you?
...
The slightest noise in the bedroom still disturbed Wang Ma, who was sleeping in the outer room.
Wang Ma is old and a light sleeper, especially now that Su Wantang is so pregnant, she hardly dares to sleep soundly at night.
She got up quietly, walked barefoot to Su Wantang's door, and listened intently.
There were no painful groans inside, only the faint sounds of walking and pouring water.
Wang Ma felt half relieved.
The young lady must be having trouble sleeping because of the child.
Instead of knocking and disturbing her, she turned around and tiptoed toward the kitchen.
The young lady is currently pregnant and has been overthinking, so we need to prepare some calming herbal medicine for her.
...
Su Wantang stood by the window for a long time until the water in her hand became cold before she slowly walked back to the bedside.
She lay back down and gently placed her cool hands on her high, protruding belly.
The little one inside my belly has become completely quiet, with only the occasional gentle wriggling, as if it's being affectionate.
"Baby, what...did you want to say to Mommy just now?"
She asked in a low voice, a voice only she could hear.
No one answered her.
She felt a strange sense of peace.
"Don't be afraid," she whispered, as if speaking to a child, yet also as if speaking to herself.
"No matter what happens, Mom will protect you."
"We will also... keep our shared secret."
She placed her hands on her stomach and closed her eyes.
This child is the most precious gift she received in both her lives, and the continuation of her bloodline with Lu Jingyan.
No matter how many unknowns and dangers lie ahead, she must become stronger, strong enough to protect her and her child, strong enough to wait for that man to return safely.
