Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Chapter 22 - 22 – Little Beasts

Kat looked around. Red-haired monkeys were perching on the tree branches around the girl. There were about thirty in number, and all of them kept screaming with savage looks.

Oh, shit...

Kat aimed her bow, but the monkeys jumped at her, and some landed on her body. The girl had a hard time repelling the monkeys that bit and scratched her. He also desperately defended the bras and panties that the beasts tugged at.

However, she was helpless. The beasts managed to tear Kat's clothes off in no time, making her chest and private parts visible.

Seriously!? My naked colonist increased by one more!? If, in the end, Kat doesn't have any clothes, I'd better sell her bras and panties to those slavers!

"Run!" I shouted at her.

Kat finally ran, still trying to get away from the monkeys. She was forced to leave her hunting tools and knife behind.

I pressed the pause button and rushed to Leva. I told the woman to leave her mining job and help Kat, even though she had managed to dig until she found chunks of silver.

Unfortunately, because she was far from Kat and her legs were limping, Leva couldn't help her colony mate immediately.

More panicked, I paused the gameplay again. Kat now looks like doing a running pose while covering her private parts.

This woman's body condition wasn't too bad. The monkeys' claws only left red marks, and their bites weren't very deep. It seems this girl will not die by them.

So I ordered Kat to keep running, then returned to the colony to ask Manu to make another bonfire. I gambled that the fire would drive the monkeys away. And lastly, for Leva, I ordered her to take Kat's knife and hunting tools, drag the boar's corpse to the colony, as well as pick up the chunks of silver that were near her feet. Apparently, it was the result of her mining.

After taking a deep breath--which is strange since I'm in a virtual world and it doesn't matter--I pressed the play button. Kat continued to run while Leva picked up the chunks of silver and then went to the forest where Kat was hunting earlier.

Damn, even under these circumstances, you're not showing any meaningful expression, Kat?

The longer she ran and kept trying to ward off the animals, the more Kat was gasping for air and sweating profusely.

I went ahead of Kat to recheck my colony. There, Manu was still busy rubbing fire stones near the pile of firewood.

What the hell!? Why can't you start a fire yet, Manu!?

Seb walked over to his partner, raising an eyebrow. "Why are you making another fire? We already cooked and the weather isn't too cold."

"I don't know myself, but I feel I have to do it anyway." His confused and drunken tone made Manu's voice barely audible. "Damn, these stones are too wet, so they can't be used right away. Maybe during the chaos last night, someone kicked the drinking pot and the water soaked the stones."

Seb's gaze was fixed into the distance. He took a few steps forward and narrowed his eyes.

Well, this scene is quite familiar. A stark naked people ran over, but this time it was Kat instead of Seb. And now, plus hordes of angry monkeys.

Seb gasped badly. His eyes widen. He immediately shook Manu's body and shouted. "That's Kat being chased by lots of little beasts!!!"

"Little beast?" Manu lifts his face and gets shocked too. The man then rubbed his fire stones more intensely. "Those are the monkeys, dumbass!!!"

"We have to do something, Manu!" Seb grew hysterical.

"What do you think I'm doing, huh!? Cleaning your ass!? I'm making fire to repel the beasts!"

Manu kept rubbing the two stones. Seb could only move in his place, crouching, jumping up and down, holding his head, all with his eyes bulging with fear.

"Can't you do it yet, Manu!? Where's the fire!?" So panicked, Seb's voice started to squeak.

Kat was only twenty yards from them.

A friction from the stones ignited sparks that directly hit the dry leaves on the pile of firewood.

Seb curled up on the ground while Manu tried to make the fire bigger.

"Help!" Kat shouted. Finally, I noticed a slight change in the expression on the girl's face.

Just a little, and just a glimpse. I still can't tell if it's an expression of fear, panic or whatever.

Several monkeys started running towards Manu, but the bearded man quickly picked up a stick with a fiery tip, then waved it at them. The monkeys immediately backed away while still grinning, showing their sharp teeth.

"Take that wood and swing it too, Kat!" I squealed.

Kat grabbed one of the fiery logs and shook it off as well. The monkeys avoided it, but there were a few that remained perched on her body.

"You two help Kat release the monkeys, idiots!" I was very annoyed with my two male colonists.

Only Manu helps Kat release the monkeys. Seb runs away because he is being chased by a monkey.

"Help!!! There's a beast chasing me!!!" Seb's voice grew shrill, making him sound like a girl.

One! Only one monkey and the blond man had already run away from the colony! What a coward you are, Seb! You just hit it, and you'll be free!

"Help, there's a monkey in my shirt!!!" Pif, who was still tied on the tree, also screamed hysterically. "Hey, hey, don't touch my dick!!! Arrrrgggghhh!!! Noooo!!!"

I winced and grimaced at the screams of agony, imagining if my stuff was clawed or bitten by a monkey. It must be excruciating.

The monkeys were still trying to get close to my colonists, though they always backed off when they saw the fire approaching them.

On the other hand, Manu and Kat were clearly losing energy. Their movements have begun to be disorganized. Especially Manu, who was clearly still far from recovering.

This is terrible.. I don't want my colony to be destroyed just because of a bunch of crazy monkeys.
