Song Heping's Salomon hiking shoes had just stepped onto the gravel beach at the edge of the Alish Desert when the soles started to feel a burning sting.
Although the quality of this brand's hiking shoes was quite good, many mercenaries also liked to purchase them as military boots, in extreme desert conditions, they seemed as if they were about to melt.
He raised his hand to look at his wristwatch. It was 3:27 PM, and the thermometer needle had already jumped to the red area of 47°C.
This was just the temperature detected by the wristwatch; the actual ground temperature had long exceeded sixty degrees.
Five hours ago, a few people left the woods by the sea and headed south, entering the "Diamond Corridor," attempting to reach the Suez Canal Basin from here and then find a way into North Africa.
Very few people dare to traverse the desert under such extreme and harsh conditions.
If there were, they would be seen as madmen.
But Song Heping had no choice.
