Mo Fan looked up into the sky and saw hailstones as big as fists falling down from the sky.
The roofs of the vehicles on the street collapsed as the hailstones smashed into them. The street was soon drowned by the alarms from the vehicles.
The ground was covered in shattered pieces of ice. The branches and leaves of the plants nearby were knocked off and scattered across the place.
The team immediately hid inside a cafe. They thought they were safe under the umbrellas outside the shop. To their surprise, the hail grew even heavier, and the hailstones were big enough to collapse the elastic umbrellas!
The size of the hailstones grew bigger, like it was raining bullets. The streets were drowned in screams, as the pedestrians ran for the buildings in a panic.
Mo Fan looked up and glanced at the pitch-black sky.
The hail was too unnatural. It felt like the streets of New York were suddenly riddled with thousands of holes. The damage that the hail dealt was fairly shocking. Every vehicle on the street, including the public transportation, was destroyed!
”F**k me, what exactly is going on? Why would it hail all of a sudden in midsummer? The damage it dealt is comparable to an Advanced Spell!” cursed Zhao Manyan.
They clearly remembered the night sky was perfectly clear when they came out. The hail had appeared out of nowhere without any sign. The fist-hailstones were able to leave cracks on the steel glass of many buildings!
It was still hailing. It did not seem like the strange weather was going to stop any time soon. Mo Fan glanced around him and saw a coffee shop at the corner of the street.
”Do you guys feel like drinking something? Coffee tastes better in a hail!” Mo Fan said.
The others looked at Mo Fan with icy cold expressions. Wasn't the joke a bit too cold when they were surrounded by hailstones?
Mo Fan went to the coffee shop and saw the barista was a beautiful Asian girl with fair skin. He greeted her with a smile and asked, ”Which country are you from?”
”China, how about you?” The barista was pretty easy-going. She answered while taking Mo Fan's order.
”What a coincidence, I'm from China too!” Mo Fan said.
The girl giggled and said, ”What kind of coincidence is that? I bet a quarter of the people on this street are Chinese. Are you really here for a cup of coffee? Or you are here to get my number?”
”Ugh… you've misunderstood me, I'm really here for the coffee,” Mo Fan immediately felt awkward.
How straightforward, it seemed like the girls who had stayed in the USA for some time were indeed different !
”Oh, so you're not interested in my number?”
”I didn't mean that either, haha, I just came to New York recently too… the hail, is it always like this in New York?” Mo Fan asked.
”Not really, this hail is pretty scary… here is your coffee, and here is our business card. Keep it, we provide delivery service too,” the girl said with a smile. She had dimples on her cheeks, she was definitely the cheerful kind.
”Business card? Ugh...” Mo Fan scratched his head. So this is the number she was referring to? Mo Fan seriously thought he was lucky enough to get himself a flirtatious adventure in a foreign country. Such a pity!
”The second one is my number. Feel free to call me!” The girl was not shy in front of a stranger, telling Mo Fan with a smile.
”I...” Mo Fan was about to speak when he sensed a great chill coming from his surroundings!
The chill was from instinct. It was like a subconscious reaction from the cells in his body when his life was in danger!
Mo Fan reacted subconsciously by Summoning the Black Snake Armor to protect himself.
During the process, Mo Fan noticed the girl was still wearing a faint smile. She was totally unaware of the approaching danger. He immediately lunged forward and hugged the girl in his arms to protect her!
A dozen long cones of ice came spearing in from different directions. Their tips were all aimed at the same target, who was none other than Mo Fan...
The power of the icicles was shocking. They were so fast that it was impossible to see them. The icicles stabbed Mo Fan...
Despite the outstanding protection of the Black Snake Armor, the icicles still managed to penetrate it!
Five icicles were stuck in Mo Fan's back. He was clenching his teeth in pain...
The icicles had appeared very suddenly. If Mo Fan had more time to react, the Black Snake Armor could have fully set up its defense, and he would not have found himself in such a terrible position!
”Mo Fan!” The others immediately noticed Mo Fan's situation. They quickly rushed to his side.
