Chapter 2 A sudden change

Someone in the group downstairs seemed to have seen something and suddenly pointed at an empty space and gestured excitedly. Lu Jiu couldn't hear him, but she had to find out what was going on, so she turned around and ran downstairs.

It is not easy to run down the sixteen floors. She has often stayed at home playing games in the past two years and only went out to travel occasionally, so she is not physically strong.

When she finally reached the first floor, she bent down with her hands on her knees and took a short rest. Her clothes were soaked with sweat.

After a two-minute break, Lu Jiu stood up. The group was still talking, so he ran over and waved, "Hello, are you aware that the power is out in this area?"

The men turned around and a middle-aged man replied, "The power went out as soon as we got up. We don't know what's going on yet."

The others nodded. "And we found something very strange. Suddenly, we saw a mark in front of us. When we opened it, we found that it was an interface that no one else could see, just like a backpack in a game."

"Yes, see if you have any."

Lu Jiu was confused when he heard this, but he still calmed down and paid attention to whether there were any suspicious marks in front of him. After concentrating, he found that he really saw it. "But how do I open it?"

"Just open it if you think about it."

Lu Jiu did as he said and indeed opened the interface, then his eyes widened.

The others thought that he was probably frightened as well, as they had been the same when they first saw it.

Before I could ask further, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Earth is about to merge with the plane of Gutas. When that happens, Earth will undergo a comprehensive transformation. Please maintain your strength and do your best to survive."

This was said without any coherence, and the people who heard it didn't understand what was going on.

"What is this? Is this a TV prank?" One of the young men was a little angry. The weather was already very hot, and now something like this happened.

"But it's still strange. What is that backpack? How can it be hidden from others? It's like the holographic games in novels. Are we being experimented on?"

This statement is quite far-fetched, but it seems to explain the situation.

However, Lu Jiu was very afraid of the creatures on the planet Gutas that the voice mentioned, and always felt a creepy feeling.

"Look! What is that!" A few people were still thinking when someone suddenly pointed somewhere and shouted.

They looked in the direction indicated and found that many mountains suddenly appeared around them, as if they had suddenly risen from the ground, which was terrifying.

However, it was soon discovered that there was more than one such place, and changes occurred in other directions as well. In some places, mountains rose up, and in others, a forest suddenly appeared, and the trees had strange appearances.

Strange trees also appeared in their community. They suddenly rushed out from the concrete ground and extended towards the sky. Soon they were taller than the floors of their community, and there was no sign of stopping.

"Run!" someone shouted.

Lu Jiu reflexively started running. She wanted to escape from the community. No matter if it was a holographic game or an alien attack, she must not die. She had a hunch that if she died, she would be completely dead.

Others may have felt the same way and ran for their lives. The entrance of the community happened to be not far from where they were, and the ground under their feet began to become uneven, as if there was a major earthquake.

"Ah!!" A man running on the far right was suddenly lifted up by a tree that rushed out from the ground. He screamed and the sound quickly faded away, as if he had gone to a very far place in an instant.

The others were still in shock and turned around to run. The man was just blown into the air by the tree canopy. It was unknown whether he would survive by holding on to the tree trunk or would lose his grip and fall from hundreds of meters.

Now the road was completely shattered. Lu Jiu ran carefully with her nerves tense. She didn't want to be like that man and be suddenly lifted up by the trees.

Without any tools, she didn't know how a person was supposed to climb down from a tree that was over a hundred meters high.

There were many people on the road running in panic like them, and some were in the same situation as the man Lu Jiu was traveling with. However, some were lucky enough to be lifted up by the tree canopy, while those with bad luck were directly pierced by the tree trunk, and left the ground instantly after being pierced through the body.

Tall buildings collapsed and shattered, and these buildings were as fragile as paper in front of the giant trees.

Lu Jiu only looked at the road in front of her, and nothing happening around her could distract her. If she wasn't paying attention, she would die!

Because of the power outage, many people could not stay at home, especially in high floors. Without air conditioning to cool down, the whole house was scorched like an oven.

If Lu Jiu looked carefully, he would find that many people had jumped from the collapsed building. Some of them were seriously injured and unable to move, while others were lucky enough to jump onto soft ground and save their lives.

When the earth quieted down, Lu Jiu's face was flushed and he was panting. His lungs were frantically inhaling fresh air. It took him a long time to feel the stinging pain. He collapsed to the ground and didn't have the strength to stand up.

She didn't remember how long she had been running. There was no one else around her. The people who had escaped with her before had long since separated.

"Earth and the planet Gutas have merged 100%. Please welcome the new power and strive to survive. I wish all humans on Earth good luck."

Lu Jiu hugged her face, she was sure that all this was not a dream. Their world suddenly changed. There was no communication, no electricity, and she didn't know what would happen in the future.

"New Power"

She thought about the word the voice said, perhaps that would be the weapon she would rely on for survival in the future.

And the backpack, she saw something interesting.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiu opened her backpack again. The equipment inside looked very familiar, but she did recognize it. It was the game she had been playing for the past two years, the one that was known as the most romantic dating game.

The equipment inside is still there, but some of the props that were not marked with their uses before now have their uses understood, and the others have not been carefully examined.

This game has always been quite strange. Some props in the past could not be used actively, and there was no introduction. It only said that the props could not be used temporarily, and the announcement only said that the purpose would be announced later.

In the props column, there was a prop library labeled No. 1. Lu Jiu opened it and found some three-dimensional images of food. The next second after she concentrated, one of the foods appeared in her hand, still warm.

【Simple Rice Balls】

Physical strength: +10

Random flavors

She looked at the prop column and found that the prop with the words "Simple Rice Ball" was missing. She didn't think too much about it because she was very hungry.

Lu Jiu finished the palm-sized rice ball in no time. The rice ball was filled with braised beef. After consuming such a large amount of exercise, the rice ball became particularly delicious.

After eating, she remembered the line of words "Stamina +10" that she saw. Since it was to replenish physical strength, there should be an interface to display personal information.

As soon as Lu Jiu thought of wanting to see the personal information, the interface popped up.

Name: Lu Jiu (can be changed)

Gender:Female

Qi and blood: 40

Attack: 1-3

Stamina:14(13)

Defense: 0

Agility: 1

Job title: None

Physical strength is easy to understand. She needs physical strength to run. 14 represents the total physical strength, and 13 represents the current physical strength value.

I still don't understand the number that attack represents. Defense 0 means that she is just like the wooden doors at home, with no resistance in front of the creatures on the planet Gutas. I don't understand agility either, it may be the degree of sensitivity, and my title is even more unclear.

Now I am completely confused and have no idea what I will face next.
