As the temperature soared that day, waves of heat rolled off the ground.
Chen Xiaofei looked alarmed. "Wouldn't you get blisters if you walked barefoot on this?"
An electronic display nearby showed the current temperature: 42 degrees. It was insane.
Wang Weihu sounded worried. "With weather this hot and so many survivors suddenly arriving at all the bases, Headquarters must be under a lot of pressure."

Shishi had been flagged as a suspicious person???
Chen Xiaofei immediately cried out, "Whoa! What's going on? We're
