Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Kat stood up when the knots in her body finally loosened.

"Y-you're really going to follow me... Voluntarily?" Jia asks again.

"Should I repeat what I said?" Kat answered, still in a cold tone. "Let go of all my friends, and leave this place without taking anything, then I will follow you forever... And you brought your provisions, right? Leave your provisions to replace our supplies that your men eat."

I can only squeeze my head in despair. My scream in Kat's ear really didn't make any difference. Gwen looked at me with her eyes still full of tears.

"We still have something." The woman said without sound.

Yes, I still have a way to ward off all of this. However, I can't accept the consequences.

To summon Re'i's royal troops means that Gwen must be willing to be the wife of the merman king. They do have the ability to make ordinary humans into Merman.

After all, Mermans are descendants of the experimental results of combining human and fish DNA. The resulting creatures can transmit their fish DNA to humans.

"Did you hear that!?" Jia shouts to his men. "Do what this woman says, now!"

Without arguing, Jia's people let go of my colonists. Some of them put their food supplies into the temporary shelter.

"Are you all right, Gwen?" Seb crouched down in front of that woman, examining the swelling on her face.

"It's not life-threatening." Gwen wiped the tears off her eyes. "I have to take a look at Miro's injuries."

"Take Miro to the shelter." I gave orders.

Eric and Seb carried the unconscious Miro to the shelter while Gwen arranged the treatment equipment.

Only Manu was still standing face to face with the Jia army. They were getting ready to leave.

"My head hurts again now, maybe because I remember the rock you hit me back then," Manu said in a growling voice.

"So, what?" Jia wrapped his arms around Kat's waist, chuckling. "You want to take revenge on me now? Just do it. No one forbids it."

"Remember your promise," Kat warned. Her face still didn't show any meaningful expression, but from her gestures, I guessed that she felt uncomfortable.

"Ah, of course, darling."

Jia then helped Kat get on one of the horses, then the man himself got on behind Kat. The amber-eyed woman was getting more uncomfortable because Jia's body was already attached to hers. And it wasn't over yet. Jia started to grope Kat's body before finally squeezing one of the woman's breasts. Kat could only wince and close one eye with flushed cheeks.

"Oh, Katherine. You are so beautiful." Jia sniffs the woman's neck. "I promise I won't hurt you."

Jia squeezed Kat's breasts more and more, and the girl couldn't help but tremble, though her expression was still blank.

The sight made my blood boil. I had almost ordered Manu to attack the man.

However, I realized. I have to do a long game this time. There is no immediate solution.

Hang on, Kat.

"We're leaving now! Back to our camp!" The masked man raised his hand.

Just as the group departed for the northeast, they heard the sound of a dog barking from a distance. Rex ran towards the group with a savage expression, like he was aiming for prey.

Does the dog feel that its master is in distress so that it comes out of hiding?

"Just shoot that animal." Jia gave an order. "So we'll get some meat to eat."

One member of the group raised his long-barreled weapon.

"No, boy! Don't come here! Come back with the others!" Kat exclaimed, giving a hand signal. "Do not come here!"

Rex stopped and sat down, looking sadly at his master.

"Is that your dog, darling?" Jia asked. "You can take it if you want."

"No," Kat answered, not looking at the dog.

[Kat left your colony.]

Wait, Kat. Your friends and I will help you.

Not long after, Leva came back with a shirt full of blood. Her eyes looked at her friends taking care of Miro, Manu who stood and watched Jia's group drift away, and finally looked at Rex.

"Where's Kat?" The red-haired woman asked.

***

After a few hours of dealing with Miro and the others, Gwen, who had some parts of her body bandaged up, took me somewhere to chat.

"We have to ask Re'i for help," Gwen said as she came behind a large rock. Her voice sounded hoarse. "We won't be able to fight them with our current strength."

"But, the price is for you to be his wife. Mermans can turn humans into their kind."

Gwen's chin dropped. "What, how are you...."

"I just know. You don't have to ask why I know." I shrugged. Actually, I just took one from the internet list about what the Mermans request if we ask them for help. This answer confirms one of them.

"I see..." Gwen cleared her throat. "I don't know what that bunch of ruffians will do to Kat. I've heard about that guy named Jia from Manu. Now that bastard looks like he really adores Kat, but we don't know what he's going to do next." The woman's voice grew hoarse. "But if I'm with Re'i, at least I'm alive, and Kat can be saved. I'm sure Re'i won't hurt me either."

"Why are you being so adamant, Gwen? I haven't known Kat that long, have I?"

A bitter smile formed on Gwen's face. "I don't know. Maybe this is what I am."

So, this woman has a pure heart behind her seductive nature and exhibitionist tendencies? She just wants to help others in need.

"Do you really want this, Gwen?" I felt tightness in my chest when I said that.

"Now is not the time..."

"Answer honestly." I cut it.

Gwen gasped, looking the other way. Slowly, her tears started to fall. "I'll be something else, and I won't know what I'm going to face. I'm content with my life now, even though I'm on another planet. At least I'm completely free… But that's okay, Mr. Spirit. " The woman wiped the tears from her cheeks. "I'd be even more tormented by guilt if I let Kat stay with them."

I paused, took a deep breath, then gave orders even with such heavy feelings. "Then go now. Prepare your provisions. Let me take care of the others.. I will keep them from asking where you are going."
