The sky above the Xuanwu base was scorching hot, and the air seemed to be filled with a burning smell.
The sun hung high in the sky like an angry fireball, scorching the ground mercilessly.
The earth cracked open, white smoke rose from the cracks, and heat waves hit their faces. Even though the superpower warriors had thick skin and strong flesh, they were dizzy from the sun.
Throughout the base, the only sounds that could be heard were the hum of machines and the complaints of the soldiers.
"I'm going to steam you to death today!"
Xu Xiang pressed his hat tightly onto his head and complained,
"Aren't we in the end of the world? Why does it feel like we've landed on Mars?"
Lu He leaned against the protective wall, wiped his sweaty neck, and sneered,
"Mars isn't that hot, is it? Even a dog wouldn't want to live on this day."
"Shut up." Liu Zui sat on a rock and rolled his eyes. "It's too noisy."
"I can't cool down by keeping my mouth shut."
Xu Xiang curled his lips and pointed to the ground not far away.
"Look, the ground is almost scorched. I just sprinkled some water on it, and it was all gone in less than five seconds. If this continues, will the base still need monsters to break in? Let's burn ourselves to ashes first."
Liu Zui groaned impatiently, looked up at the protective wall glowing white under the scorching sun, gritted his teeth, and stood up:
"This is not right. This weather is abnormal. How can it be so hot for no reason?"
"Need you tell me?"
Shi Zhuang, who was standing by, held the blade in his hand, wiping his sweat while sneering.
"The base's science department has already been researching this, and the temperature is not normal at all. I heard it's radiation fluctuations or energy leaks - it's definitely not something that can be produced on Earth."
Xu Xiang felt uneasy and asked quickly:
"What? Energy leak? We won't die of heat, right?"
"will not."
Song Lufeng's voice came from behind, and the cold tone immediately made everyone quiet down.
He jumped down from the high tower. The high temperature only made him sweat slightly, and his eyes were still as cool as a deep pool.
Song Lufeng looked at everyone and said in a deep voice,
"The high temperature is man-made. The specific reason is related to the golden planet in the sky."
Xiaozao stood out from the shadows with a frown on his face, which was unusually serious.
"You mean, this isn't the Earth's fault? Someone... or something is doing this?"
Song Lufeng nodded. His voice was not loud, but it made the atmosphere instantly more tense when heard by everyone:
"Based on the current analysis, this may be related to the abnormal signal sent by the White Tiger Base before it lost contact."
When everyone heard the words "White Tiger Base", their faces changed.
It was one of the important bases in the early days of the apocalypse, but it had been completely cut off fifty years ago.
There have always been many rumors about the White Tiger Base. Some say it was breached by alien beasts, while others say it was swallowed by some unknown force.
But now, scientists at the Xuanwu Base have actually linked high temperatures to it.
Is this possible?
"So, we are going to the White Tiger Base to find the answer?"
"Okay, I can't stay here any longer anyway, let's go somewhere else and warm up."
Lu He raised his eyebrows and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't joke." Lin Miaomiao stood beside him with a serious look on her face.
Lin Miaomiao, another S-class lightning superpower, is one of the S-class superpowers "born" after the national "Save Children and Grandchildren" plan was launched.
"The White Tiger Base has been out of contact for so many years. Who knows what the place is like now? There was news that it became some kind of restricted area after the apocalyptic mutation."
"That's right, don't joke with your life."
"We're not just warming up, we're risking our lives to fill a hole. City Lord, you're not really planning on taking us in, are you?"
Xu Xiang nodded and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Song Lufeng glanced at him and said indifferently:
"Whether I take you with me or not depends on whether you have the courage."
Xu Xiang shut up instantly.
He is full of courage!
The team assembled quickly.
Song Lufeng led the team personally, which made all the soldiers understand the seriousness of the situation.
Dozens of transport vehicles, mechas, and combat vehicles started up slowly, creating a wave of heat on the scalding ground.
The air was filled with a burning smell, and the entire convoy felt like it was passing through purgatory.
"City Lord, what is the goal of this mission?"
Qi Wan stood at the front of the convoy, her eagle eyes open, scanning the entire scene.
"Found the White Tiger base."
Song Lufeng's tone was as calm as ever, but with a hint of oppression.
"We need to know what happened in that area. And..."
He turned his gaze towards the desolate land in the distance, and his voice became a little lower.
"Find the answer and end this fever."
When the convoy approached the destination, everyone was shocked by the scene before them and was speechless.
The original location of the western Sichuan plain has long since turned into an endless ocean of green.
Huge trees rose straight up into the sky, their branches twisted and shaped like the claws of living creatures.
The ground was covered with mutated plants. Some branches twisted in the air like snakes, and some tree trunks even had eye-like bumps glowing with a faint green light. "Oh my god, is this still Earth?"
"This is clearly an alien jungle from a science fiction movie!"
Xu Xiang stared blankly at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but take a breath.
This scene is even more terrifying than the previous desolate scene.
"This place... has been completely occupied by mutations."
"Not only have these plants changed, they seem to have... consciousness."

Lin Miaomiao's gaze lingered on these strange plants with a complicated expression.
"Awareness?"
"You mean, they'll attack?"
Liu Zui narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice, and had the fire sword in his hand.
Before he finished his words, a huge plant not far away suddenly stretched out a vine and lashed at the mecha closest to it.
Vines wrapped in green mucus lashed at the metal shell of the mecha, corroding a hole in an instant.
"Fuck! He really hit me!"
Xu Xiang was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
"Everyone prepare for battle."
Song Lufeng's voice was silent and pointed forward.
"Test their defenses."
The mecha troops opened fire and the battle was about to begin.
Several mechas fired their artillery at the same time, and the exploding flames blew the plants in front into pieces.
But everyone saw that in just a few seconds, the shattered plants recovered quickly, even becoming more lush than before, with strong hostility emanating from the swaying branches.
"Are they alive?!"
"Can this still be fought?"
Xu Xiang was stunned.
Song Lufeng frowned, his eyes fixed on the depths of the forest in the distance.
He could sense a stronger aura that was enveloping the entire area...
These strange plants did not welcome them. The plants were arranged so closely together that they could hardly move.
Large mechas and armored vehicles are difficult to enter at all; once you get close, their vines will entangle you crazily.
Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Xiaozao came out.
"Leave these guys to me."
“This is right in my comfort zone.”
Xiaozao licked his lips.
His eyes sparkled.
In the past, the place where it took root was extremely poor. How difficult it would have been for it to feed a group of its followers!
Only by hunting exotic beasts!
But the alien beasts are not stupid, they can run away!
After all, they are animals and can't run faster than plants!
However, it thought about it a lot, but it never imagined that there would be such a Feng Shui treasure land!
These alien plants are just snacks delivered to your door!
"Let me eat them all!"
"Eat as much as you can with your stomach open!"
After Xiaozao finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned into a towering tree, waving his branches, moving his roots, and rushing towards those strange plants.
Surprisingly, these alien plants seemed to have seen their nemesis and simply shrank back and hid.
But no one can defeat the plant warriors led by Xiaozao!
They ate frantically and quickly cleared a path for passage.
Seeing this scene, everyone exclaimed in amazement!
"Xiao Zao is still awesome!"
"If it weren't for Xiaozao, we wouldn't be able to get in at all!"
"No matter what, it has to be this one!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaozao straightened its trunk and spread its roots. Countless plants from other worlds turned yellow, but Xiaozao seemed to be nourished and looked even greener!
Everyone got on the bus and followed it along the way.
Three hours later, everyone was surrounded by a group of people.
"Who are you?"
