Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game - Chapter 231

Tom and Yvonne were making love again when I told them to return to the colony. Then, I moved to the location of my settlement, where the party was being held. However, the people who were there were already lying unconscious. The only one who was still conscious was Kat, who was being tied up by two women. Meanwhile, two other people were tying up Rex, who just kept squirming.

I pressed the play button.

“Rex!!!” Kat screamed, also trying to free herself.

“Don’t worry, Mila and I aren’t that bad to torture animals,” Krista said, looking around.

Wooden cups lay everywhere. These women must have mixed the wine with some kind of sleeping potion.

Remembering that Trevor was still in danger, I went to where Mila was. Trevor was creeping away, with his neck giving off flashes of electricity and sparks.

“Sorry, even though I already like you a little.” Mila trailed the android, pulling out something under her clothes, a short iron rod. Mercilessly, the woman hit the back of Trevor’s head with it. Trevor flinched and stopped moving, but only a second later, he was crawling again.

“Trevor, use your wireless connection to move the mech to save you!” I gave orders.

There was the sound of wheels turning from far away, a sign that the mech had started to move. Mila, who was about to start doing the second hit froze, but continued her attack a few seconds later.

“You tell too much to my friends! One of them is regarding your ability to move the metal giant from a distance!” Mila just kept hitting Trevor in the head. “Krista even looked at your anatomy and concluded that your neck is probably the weakest part because there are other materials besides metal!”

Mila had beaten Trevor in the head many times, but the mech’s voice was still audible. The woman turned to pry out the wound she had made on Trevor’s neck. Trevor’s body convulsed again, and his neck let out more sparks, but Mila didn’t care.

I who saw this panicked even more, and at the same time, wondered why the mech had not arrived, even though it was pretty close… Shit, maybe with this damaged condition, Trevor had a hard time directing the mech to the right destination.

“Why didn’t you die!!??” Mila kept on prying whatever it was from the wound on Trevor’s neck. The android could do nothing but stretch out his hand.

The sound of the mech advancing finally approached. Mila could already see the silhouette of the metal giant, but she kept her focus on Trevor.

The mech stopped very close to Mila, then moved his hand to grab the woman.

“Argggghhhh!!!” Mila pry with all her might and finally managed to get various parts out of Trevor’s neck. The android’s hand immediately drooped on the ground.

The mech’s movements also stopped.

Mila lay down on the grass with uncontrollable breaths. The woman was also sweating profusely, a sign that the struggle was quite physically draining.

About a minute later, Mila stood up, looking at Trevor’s body which was still face down in the grass.

“Again, I am sorry …. Well, not sure if you can still listen.”

The black-haired woman picked up her iron staff, looked up at the mech for a moment, then stepped away from the place.

I can’t let my brain go blank. We have to get out of this dire situation. My colonists have been through hardships many times and have overcome them. I’m sure they can handle this too.

***

My colonists woke up as soon as they were doused with water by Mila’s minions. My men were propped up around a large tree and looked confused by what was happening.

“What the hell?” Manu hissed when he found the women from that group still lying on the ground with their hands tied.

“It seems there are some who still can’t move on.” Leva nodded her head at Mila and her friends. “There are still those who have a bitter grudge against Tom.”

All my colonists looked at Mila.

“Well, you guys already know what we’re aiming for,” Mila answered with a trembling tone and teary eyes. “Again, I ask all of you. Where’s Tom? Don’t lie. Answer honestly, and you will be free.”

“Please, guys. We don’t want you to hurt you.” Krista added. “We just want to get rid of this nightmare we’re having. So, answer Mila’s question.”

Seb swallowed. “We don’t know where he is…. And can we talk about this in peace? None of this will come to fruition….”

Seb’s words stopped when Mila kicked him hard in the face.

“Hey! What are you doing!?” Eric protested and tried to free himself.

“Shut up!” Mila snapped, pulled her foot away from Seb’s face, then pointed at Eric. “You want to be kicked too, huh!?”

“Don’t confront her again, Eric,” I whispered to Seb’s son. “Face this with a cool head.”

So, Eric asked his father. “Are you all right?”

Even with bleeding nose, Seb still smiled. “I’m fine, Eric.”

“I’ll give the count to ten.” Mila folded her arms across her chest. “If no one will answer where Tom is, then I’m going to do something terrible.”

Mila’s minions looked at each other. It seems they are still hesitant to do this.

“Please, Mila, Krista….” Alice started to cry. “Stop all this. It’s enough. As Seb said, this won’t give you anything.”

“You shut up too, Alice!” Mila spoke loudly again. “You should be the one who knows best how we feel! You should agree with what we did! However, you are just like our other friends and choose to forget everything! You and they say it’s for the sake of peace! Bullshit! Our hearts won’t be at peace if one of those bastards is still alive!”

“They’re going to the southwest!” Eric finally answered. He said according to my orders.

Mila tilted her head, looking at Eric fixedly. “Is that so, pretty boy?”

“Yes, that’s correct. Tom and Yvonne are on a boulder the size of two bulls over there.”

Of course, Eric didn’t know where the two of them were going. I just gave instructions for him to say so. Yes, both Yvonne and Tom did go southwest. It’s for the sake of a plan I’ve been thinking about.

Mila narrowed her eyes. “No, you lied. Just so you know. I’m not really a psychic, but I know you’re lying.”

What a bitch.

“Then why don’t you know that we are honest?” Leva joined in. “You should know that we’re being completely honest when we say we don’t know where Tom and Yvonne have gone.”

Mila chuckled bitterly, came to the woman, and grabbed her red hair. “Hooo…. You’re good at talking too, freckles?”

“Yeah, I’m good at talking. Not only good at talking, but I’m also better than you in other fields….”

Mila’s hard slap interrupted Leva’s words.

“Even your slap doesn’t hurt.” Leva chuckled.

“Let’s use this woman.” Mila snorted with trembling lips.

Two of Mila’s companions pulled Leva to her feet and brought her in front of my colonists.

“You guys still don’t want to talk where Tom is?” Mila looked more and more impatient. “If no one wants to talk, I will torture this friend of yours. I’ll just stop it if someone tells me where the husband and wife are. And no one lies!”

Krista approaches my colonists. “Please, we really don’t want to do this, but it’s your behavior that compels us.”

After asking Gwen to activate her psychic powers, I pressed the pause button. The yellow guardian appeared and looked around as everything came to a complete stop.

“Well, I know some of your ladies are becoming rogues.” I sighed. “Maybe you have a hard time asking them to stop doing this stupid thing…. The point is I will help you. Let’s think of a plan for this madness to end.”

Instead of answering, the yellow spirit was silent.

“Hey, why are you silent?” I’m getting annoyed. “Your women are going to do cruel things to my colonists. Let’s work this out together.”

“Maybe your people really don’t know where Tom and Yvonne are.” Finally, the spirit responded in a cold tone. “But, you must know where they are, right? You are their guardian spirit.”

Those words left me speechless for a few seconds. “So, you are now a villain? After my men and I saved these women?”

“I’m not a villain.” The yellow spirit walked towards me. “I’m just asking for justice. So, answer my question. Where’s Tom?”

This is bad.

The yellow spirit shrugged and took a few steps back. “Well, I’m not like Mila. I will be patiently waiting for your answer.” After saying that, he sat down on the ground.

“You really think this is to get justice?” I asked again.

“Of course, what else?” He answered in a bitter tone. “If they all don’t want Tom, then I won’t rule them like this either… Well, the guardian spirit’s job is to take care of the people, after all. Unfortunately, I can’t get everyone on board with this plan.. So, only six will.”
