Chapter 235 Sandstorm(1/2)

The sandstorm is really coming!

Urgent sirens resounded through the streets of New York, and the storm struck without warning. In this era without satellite cloud images, weather forecasts were based on changes in atmospheric pressure, but this method could rarely be done in advance of the speeding dust.

Good warning.

The sandstorm continued all the way and was not noticed until it reached the edge of the city, and then the siren sounded to remind it.

"...The sandstorm is coming, everyone should go home quickly and take protective measures!"

On the radio, the soap opera came to an abrupt end, and the announcer made an appeal in a rushed tone.

The newsboys grabbed the newspapers in their hands, covered their faces with cloth, and ran towards the shelter with Jimmy shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Quick, go to the nearby church!"

He hid in the church with a group of panicked people. The moment he entered, Jimmy's eyes glanced at the purple in the sky, as if the sky was sick.

Obviously just a moment ago, the sky was still a normal color, but in the blink of an eye everything became different.

Huddled in a corner of the church with the newsboys, Jimmy covered his face with the cloth Mr. Colin gave them, and heard the uneasy conversations of the people in the church.

"I didn't expect it to be true..."

"I always thought these were just rumors."

"Sandstorm, I've never seen such a weather before, and I don't know what's going on at home?"

"Yesterday's "The Courier Daily" has issued a warning. I have made preparations in advance and have taken out all the discarded sheets. They should be able to withstand the sand and dust."

"The Courier Daily, I also read that report, but I didn't expect the sandstorm to come so fast."

Newspapers about the dangers of sandstorms and descriptions of disasters in "Superman" stories have touched many people's hearts.

But no one expected that the sandstorm mentioned in the comics would appear in front of them in such an unexpected way.

"Have you felt that the temperature has dropped a bit?"

After tightening their clothes, many people in the church felt a chill.

Newsboys huddled together in the corner to keep each other warm.

"coming!"

Amidst the sudden drop in temperature, sandstorms swept across.

Standing in front of the glass of the church, people can see to the northwest that something with an irregular top is moving, blocking the horizon.

The charge in the air crackled, snap, snap, snap.

The birds screamed and swooped down to find shelter.

"..."

"Is this a sandstorm?"

Staring at the black wall approaching the city, everyone in the church fell silent.

Many of them had read reports about sandstorms in the Daily Courier. However, neither the photos in the news nor the depictions in cartoons could clearly present the scene in front of them.

This is a natural disaster, a terrible force that humans cannot resist.

In the church, the priest led the pastor to pray, and many people who were worried seemed to have joined the prayer team.

They prayed to God to bless themselves and their families.

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…Forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors…Do not let us

When we are tempted, deliver us from evil…”

In the corner, Jimmy listened to everyone's prayers, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the newspaper in his hand.

The mark in the upper right corner of the Courier Daily page is the classic Superman pose with hands on hips.

Looking at Superman, Jimmy seemed to feel great courage from him.



Click, click——

Courier Newspapers, with a click.

The static electricity caused by the sandstorm interfered with the radio signal, causing the already fuzzy sound on the radio to lose its final ring.

On the road outside the newspaper office, some driving cars also stopped.

Colin, who was standing in the newspaper office, could see it clearly. This was because the car's ignition device was short-circuited.

People ran off from the cars that lost power and rushed towards cover where they could, covering their mouths and noses.

"terrible!"

Standing behind Colin, Little John and others stared at the huge dust sweeping across the sky.

Although he already knew the power of this disaster from the photos on the news, feeling the power of the sandstorm in person still frightened little John. He looked at each other with his father, Old John, who was standing beside him. He could clearly see each other.

Trembling fingers.

Staring at the black wall of sand and dust at the end of the city, Colin knew very well that this was not the full picture of the sandstorm.

Unlike vast, deserted highways and small towns, New York is, after all, a big city with tall buildings.

The surrounding towns and buildings have blocked most of the power of the sandstorm for people, and now only part of the sandstorm has come to New York.

"Jenny, Jenny, where are you?!"

However, in the newspaper office, everyone was silently watching this overwhelming natural disaster.

Suddenly, rapid shouting came from the street nearby, and a panicked woman rushed onto the street and shouted loudly.

"Baby, where are you? Come out quickly!"

Seeing the crazy woman on the street, everyone in the newspaper office looked at each other, and Little John opened his mouth to say something.

Old John on the side stretched out his hand to stop him, shook his head and pointed to the sandstorm outside.

This is not a heavy rain or snow, but a fatal natural disaster.

"Go home quickly, the sandstorm is coming soon!"

"At this time, rather than looking for someone, you should protect yourself first..."

"Maybe your kids are at home too!"

On both sides of the street, people noticed this woman on the street and someone shouted to her.

However, the woman ignored her and continued to scream at the top of her voice nearby. She had searched everything in the house and found no trace of her daughter.

Looking away from the almost crazy woman on the street, Colin's eyes followed the wall of the newspaper office and scanned the nearby blocks.

Although many of his abilities were restricted due to the suppression of the positive world, with the cooperation of [Super Clairvoyance] and [Super Hearing], Colin was able to quickly see next to a trash can not far from the street.

A huddled figure.

"Be prepared to protect yourself, especially vulnerable parts like windows."

Withdrawing his gaze, Colin turned his head and gave instructions to the people behind him.

"boss!"

"It's too dangerous, the sandstorm is coming soon..."

After hearing what Colin said, Old John opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

He shook his head. In the real world, the abilities he unlocked might be suppressed, but compared to ordinary people, he was still very powerful.

Although sandstorms are dangerous, they are not harmful to him.

"Boss, let me go with you."

Looking at Colin's figure living behind the door, Little John took courage and said.

"No need, I am enough alone."

His eyes lingered on Little John's face for a moment. Colin rejected the other person's kindness, and then reminded them: "Protect everything in the newspaper office. I don't want to see only the ruins of the newspaper office when I come back."

.”

After saying that, Colin moved the wet sheets behind the door with his feet and opened the locked door of the newspaper office.

Huhu~

As the door of the newspaper office was opened, the first thing that hit us was the biting wind brought by the sandstorm.

The fine dust in the air whistled past Colin's face, and he closed the door of the newspaper office behind him. Colin covered his nose with his hand and walked through the howling wind.

Walking into the street, the violent wind caused by the sandstorm became even more fierce. Colin could see the woman in the distance who was blown like a reed by the strong wind.

With superhuman strength, the strong wind brought by the sandstorm could not stop Colin's progress. He turned his head and glanced at the advancing black wall in the distance, and walked towards the trash can without any hesitation.

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

"I'm playing hide and seek, sir."
