At first, Elena didn't notice much change in the temperature inside, but when she saw that several new cooling devices had been set up around the unit, a wave of unease crept over her.
Something wasn't right.
Only then did she realise the situation was far more serious than she had initially thought.
She had only rested for a few hours, yet the temperature had already spiked again.
She quickly got up from her seat and walked over to check the internal temperature inside the unit.
It read 20 degrees—two degrees higher than before.
The temperature change wasn't much, but the situation outside was clearly different.
"What about outside? What's the temperature now?" she asked, her eyes drifting toward Ethan, who stood by the window, quietly watching the scorching sun.
"It's 39 degrees," he replied. "A sudden spike. As for the situation, come take a look."
His tone was low and mysterious, making her heart tense a little.
