Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Surprisingly, everything went as usual a few days later. My colonists did their job as usual.

"Hey, may I ask a question, Alice?" Seb asked as he watered the corn plants which had already started to grow.

Alice, who was taking care of the strawberry plants, flinched. "Oh, sorry? Ah, yes… You can ask anything. Of course, anything."

"After you joined us here a few days ago, you always looked gloomy, Alice." Seb flashed his friendly smile. "Is something bothering you? You also rarely interact with others."

"It's nothing." Alice gulped. "Well, I'd be lying if I said it's nothing. How to say it, huh? I can understand if this place was attacked and forced to kill people…. However, those people no longer resisted and were executed instead. I felt it was wrong."

"Oh, I see." Seb widened his smile. "I understand what you mean."

"Then what are we going to do?" Manu got up from his activity of burning bricks, then approached the two colonists. It seemed he had overheard the conversation just now. "You want us to just lock them up?"

"Well, in my old tribe, we locked up all prisoners of war as well as criminals until they wanted to join," Alice answered with a grimace. "Or they would continue to be locked up if they don't show any signs of repenting..."

"You think it would be easy to take care of that many captives? What about their food? Who will be held responsible if they break away and attack us again." Manu cuts that woman's words. "And tell me how many of them have confessed to repentance and ended up committing crimes again?"

"I think this is enough." Leva, who had just been practicing using the dummy, joined in. "It's useless to argue. In the end, those who have a strong ideology will not want to change."

Leva's gaze was fixed on Seb.

"Let me get some more water." Seb took the clay bucket in Alice's hand, then headed for the well.

Manu shrugs and goes back to the hut he used to burn the bricks. Gwen just glanced at the man, then continued molding the clay.

Turning around, Leva saw Miro carrying a container filled with clay. The big tall man was accompanied by Tom, who was pushing a cart filled with the same material. The two men had just returned from the lake.

"I can't wait to build our new home," Tom said excitedly. "Since joining Jia's nomad group, I can't really get any construction work. Well, we did set up a tent, but that's a lot different from building an actual building."

"You seem very happy with this job, don't you?" Miro chuckled.

"Hey, big guy." Levi waved. "Wouldn't your family worry about you being there all the time?"

"So what?" Miro shrugged, spilling the clay he had brought near the hut. "You don't want me here anymore?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Leva scratched her hair. "I was just thinking if you stay here too long, won't that create new problems? You have a crucial role in your tribe, right?"

Miro looked at Kat, who was walking away with Rex, about to do some hunting. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. If the situation gets worse, then I will explain to my tribe and my family."

Ugh, those are not reassuring words, Miro.

There was a mechanical creak from near the tree. The mech that was there was moving his hands. The cockpit door of the gigantic war device opened, and Peter looked down at Eric and Yvonne below.

"We did it! We managed to fix this thing's hand joints!" Peter shouted with joy.

"Good, now we have to figure out a way to get this damn thing's left knee to work." Eric sighed. Looks a little frustrated. "We still have to solve that problem. Why is it that when we managed to fix this thing's loose knee, the wheel wouldn't even turn?"

"Well, we're not experts. We can only rely on the blueprint on that tablet board from the sky ship." Yvonne smiled. "And I can't be of much help because all this is so foreign to me."

Actually, it would be more optimal if I made Gwen join this maintenance team. He had a pretty decent crafting stat. However, that was nearly impossible because of the problem with the half-fish king.

"At least you can learn, Yvonne. Maintaining this thing would be very difficult if it was only done by one person." Peter descended from the mech using a rope. "Well, it seems that this is enough. Time to drink!"

"Isn't it still too early to drink, Pete?" Eric raised an eyebrow.

"It's never too early to drink!" Peter laughed loudly. "But our wine supply is running low. I hope the strawberries in this place can grow fast. We can ferment it into strawberry wine!"

Finally, all my other colonists fell asleep. Gwen sighed, starting to undress in front of the bonfire.

"Ah, you might need to wear it," I told the blonde-haired woman. "I want to take you for a walk."

Gwen chuckled, still taking off her clothes. "So what about walking around naked? No one will catch me in this empty land."

"But, the weather is still cold…."

"Ah, it's not that cold." Finally, the woman was completely naked. She then stood in front of me. "So, where are we going?"

"Follow me."

The two of us walked under the night sky. The woman folded her arms across her chest, shivering every now and then. All the thin hairs on her body also stood up. It was apparent her body was cold. Maybe because her desire to be naked had been piling up all day, she couldn't hold it in anymore and chose to stay in that state.

"Hey, why are you so silent, Mr. Spirits?" In a seductive tone I hadn't heard in the last few days, Gwen asked. "You make me curious, and my heart is pounding."

"A moment," I answered, then stopped a few meters away from my goal.

"That…" Gwen paused, staring at the broken escape pod that Kat had been in.
