Chapter 53: The Tribulation

"Yesterday, a sudden and strong typhoon struck the Philippine Strait. Heavy rains and tsunamis trapped many ships in the nearby waters. Meteorological experts say this may be the most ferocious storm in a decade, and because it has no warnings, it is from the weather It is completely unpredictable, so this is almost a miracle. At present, experts from all parties are investigating whether other external factors have caused the abnormal weather. Fortunately, thanks to the activity of the new Superman, no one was killed in this disaster. According to statistics, New Superman saved a total of 534 lives in this disaster..."

When the news was put on the coffee shop's TV, Jay was waiting in a long queue at the counter with a sandwich in his mouth for breakfast. When the host mentioned the activity of the new Superman, he even forgot to chew the food in his mouth and smiled triumphantly at the TV screen.

Until the black guy behind poked his back: "Hey, buddy, front."

Only then did Jay realize that the team had moved forward unconsciously while he was smirking, and there were about five or six people in front of him. He said sorry, and strode to follow.

At this point every day, this coffee shop is lined up with such exaggerated long queues. The queue stretches out from the counter and makes two turns in the shop, and finally drags it all the way to the sidewalk outside. But the facts have also proved that it is worth it, because you can't buy coffee that tastes better than them in the three nearby districts.

It has been a month since Mongo stepped down, the Metropolis has completely accepted the emergence of the new Superman, and the "s" mark has once again become a frequent headliner in the Planet Daily. After recovering and leaving the hospital, Louise Lane quickly returned to her position in the Daily Planet. Kara was also very happy about it. They seemed to have a lot of topics to talk about.

But after that, Kara only stayed in the metropolis for half a week before finally having to go back to Nacino. She said that the patience of her boss, Ms. Grant, seemed to have finally reached its limit. Ms. Grant said if she didn't go back to work within a day, she would never go back again. These words really scared Cara, she really didn't dare to delay for a moment and flew straight back to Nashinno. It seemed that this boss still had a pretty strong deterrent against her.

As for Helena, Jay never saw her again after the last collaboration. Jay only knew that with the downfall of Mongo, the wanted order on her seemed to have been cancelled, and she seemed to be back as her agent again.

As time progresses, Jay's graduation summer vacation will soon come to an end. He will have to officially usher in college life soon, which is quite new to him.

Jay asked what Kara University was like, but the latter chuckled and said that she hadn't been there at all, and even high school was only a symbolic year and was not interested. She said that when she first came to Earth, Superman helped her find many identities for her to try to integrate into human life. After trying a variety of identities from student to office worker, she finally chose to work in the newspaper like her cousin.

After listening to Jay, he couldn't help holding his forehead.

After a moment of unmarried thoughts, Jay finally waited for the hard-won coffee. He took a sip of contentment, and suddenly felt that only the coffee here is worth waiting for for an hour.

As soon as he walked out of the coffee shop with a soft paper cup, his mobile phone rang, and the special attention ring reminded him that it was Kara's call. He handed the coffee cup to his left hand, and his right hand took out the phone from his jeans pocket: "Hi, morning."

"Rao is on, I really feel like I can't bear it!" Kara complained loudly, and Jay could almost portray her annoyed look in her head only through her voice.

"Oh, calm, calm." Jay didn't panic, because this situation seems to happen frequently recently, "Speak slowly. Let me guess, is it Ms. Grant again?"

"She's getting more and more unreasonable!" Kara said angrily, "Remember that she said that she likes breakfast and drinks pure milk across the street, and she likes more sugar?"

do not remember. Jay muttered in his heart, but said "um" on his mouth: "Remember, why?"

"I brought her breakfast today, but she said not to put any candy, and she was angry with me!" Cara said angrily, "How can she do this? I think I can't bear it anymore, I want to resign."

Hmm...this doesn't sound like a big deal.

Although he thought so in his heart, Jay didn't dare to really say that. He continued to agree: "Well, maybe she is a little too much, but don't take it too seriously. She may just be in a bad mood, and in a few minutes she will..."

His words can't help but stop abruptly, because a pistol sticks out abruptly from the alley passing by his side and points it directly at his forehead.

"Put down the phone and come in." A big man with a hood and a shaggy beard in the alley gritted his teeth and shouted.

Jay was stunned on the spot for two seconds, and then said to the phone with an expression of disbelief, "God, Carla, I was robbed!"

"You...what?" Carla repeated, seeming to suspect that she had heard the word wrong.

"Robbery, you heard me right! Yes, someone robbed me!"

The brawny man didn't panic when seeing this kid, but showed a similarly happy expression, he couldn't help wondering if he was frightened by himself. He hurriedly dragged the stunned kid into the alley, and pointed his gun against his forehead and shouted, "You don't want to live, do you? Keep your voice down! Hang up the phone!"

"Well, listen to your buddy." Jay hung up the phone and temporarily put it in his pocket, "God, man, in such a big city with so many people, you just picked me? You? and many more..."

This experience was so interesting, much more interesting than he had fallen from the sky to stop an ongoing robbery while patrolling, so that he didn't want to end it in the usual way. He quickly figured out how to tease the hapless robber in a more dramatic way, but he quickly ruled out every way.

Then at this moment, something more unexpected happened to this hapless gangster.

Out of the corner of Jay's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a handsome guy with an open brown jacket and greasy hair walking quickly into this alley. He came to the back of the gangster aggressively, and grabbed him by his shoulder. When he came, he slammed a fist on the bridge of the poor gangster's nose, causing him to run out of nose.

"Stay away from him!" the guy shouted viciously.

Jay was stunned. It took another few seconds for his brain to process the fact that he was saved by someone in a street robbery.

This gangster must have also forgotten to read the almanac when he went out, a "routine" robbery could have so many variables. He smeared a handful of blood, swearing and raising his gun to shoot, but he was skillfully twisted his arm by this guy, and he fell over his shoulder and hit the ground.

It seems that he is still a practicing family, there are two times.

This handsome guy quickly subdued the gangster, neatly tidied up the slightly messy clothes, put a smile on and asked Jay: "Are you okay? He didn't take anything?"

Although I feel a little unhappy in being snatched away from the fun, of course this cannot be revealed on the surface. Jay also smiled as gratefully as possible and shook hands with the young man: "It's all right, thanks to you brother. My name is Jay, Jay Reynolds, what do you call it?"

"Mike Marcus." The young man smiled heartily. "Just call me Mike."

A hot-blooded boy who is righteous and brave is a rare animal in this era. Jay thought to himself.

At this time, he never expected that the hot-blooded boy who happened on the street was his college roommate a week later.
