Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Chapter 37 - 37 – The Hints

"Huh, you're back, Leva?" Seb, who was lying lazily, got up when he saw the red-haired girl coming. "It's not like you to came home so soon."

Leva put down her pickaxe and sling bag, then shrugged. "Honestly, I don't know myself. I just feel like I have to go back now."

Not long after, Kat also walked back to the colony.

"Hey, where's Rox?" Leva raised an eyebrow.

Kat paused, silent for a moment. "I tied it to a tree not far from here."

"What?" Seb's brow furrowed. "Why did you do that?"

Rox wasn't well trained to attack on Kat's orders. So, I did evacuate him for the time being. If forced to fight, the enemy could kill the dog for attacking carelessly without a strategy.

"Don't tell me you also suddenly feel like you have to do something like that, when you didn't intend to do it before." Leva chimed in.

Kat nodded slightly. "Yes like that."

"That is a hint from our guardian spirit." Pif joined the chat.

Leva sneered. "Huh, sorry but I don't believe in such a thing, brat."

"Come on." Pif spread his arms and snorted. "Even before being here, you used to feel like this in your last tribe, right? You suddenly wanted to do something unplanned. You should understand that since you are also from this place, Leva. We're different from Seb and Kat, who are from another world."

"We call him a god." Manu said while walking towards his fellow colonists. "And I think we should follow his lead. While here, as well as in the previous tribe, you must have felt it, right? If we follow his lead, at least we have a chance." The bearded man then looked at Kat. "And when I saw your sky ship that crashed, I was going to run away in fear, Kat. But I suddenly wanted to save you. Whoever it is, he wants you to stay alive. I think he wants us to stay alive too. So, right now there's no reason to disobey him."

Well, interesting chat, but you all have to be prepared.

***

It was late afternoon, the three attackers finally came to my colony, already prepared with their weapons. But they found no one there. The only sound that could be heard was Rox's bark in the distance.

"Where are they?" The blonde female assailant asked in a nervous tone.

"They're hiding." The leader, the rather muscular man with ponytail, looked around, wielding his large machete. "Don't let your guard down."

Meanwhile, the curly-haired man who was following them just gulped and gripped the knife tightly.

The three of them continued walking.

Zap!

An arrow shot at the leader, the therapy missed only a few millimeters from him.

"There!" The leader pointed to a large tree and ran towards it.

Arrows from the other direction began to shoot at the man. However, because he was running so fast, the arrow from Kat didn't hit his body either. As well as the next arrows that were shot, Kat was completely unable to hit the target.

Manu comes out as the leader of the attackers is near. However, the bearded man could not immediately attack and instead had to block the slash of the machete with his ax. The attack almost hit Manu's head.

"Ugh!" Manu tumbled backward as soon as the leader of the attackers kicked him in the stomach.

Just halfway up, Manu had to dodge his enemy's second slash. This time the slash hit Manu's chest, but luckily it didn't seem too deep.

Leva, who had come out of hiding, ran towards the enemy while raising her pickaxe.

However, the attackers' leader was able to dodge Leva's attack and retreat while pointing his machete.

On the other hand, the archer of the enemy had already started aiming. Looks like she's just doing that now. Earlier she couldn't aim properly at Manu, who was fighting at close range with the leader.

"Pif, Kat! Attack that archer!" I gave direct orders to my two colonists.

Pif, who had been aiming for the attackers' leader, moved to shoot the enemy archer. Kat had also come out of a bush and was taking aim.

Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap!

The two of them fired consecutive arrows. The shocked enemy didn't have time to shoot back at them and was helpless when three arrows pierced her body. Two arrows from Kat and one from Pif. The skinny young man had shot twice like Kat, but only one of his arrows had hit the target.

"Shit!" The lead attacker cursed when he saw his comrade kneeling with wide eyes.

Kat took out one more arrow from the quiver and took aim again.

Zap!

The arrow from Kat's bow shot fast and pierced the heart of the enemy archer, who immediately dropped the bow, coughed up blood, then collapsed.

Pif, who had actually been aiming as well, just froze in place. His hands were shaking violently, and his mouth was tightly shut.

Ah, these assailants were also members of the Tribe that Pif used to join. Maybe this skinny guy knows them all.

"Hahahahaha!!!" The leader of the attackers laughed vulgarly. "You are so cruel, Pif! How could you kill your own friend, who you considered your own older sister!"

Pif lowered his bow with teary eyes.

Shit.

"It turns out that you really have become a traitor, little brat!" The leader of the attackers laughed again.

"Shut up!" Pif glared at that man. "You guys attacked us first, Egam! I didn't have time to check who she was!"

Seeing Pif's teary eyes but full of determination, it seems that I've been misjudging the young man. Maybe Pif's body is weak, and he is a coward in certain ways. However, that doesn't mean he's completely helpless.

The proof is, he was able to aim at the leader of the attacker named Egam, even though his heart might be broken because he helped the death of his own friend.

"If I were you, I'd rather take that woman hostage than kill her outright." Suddenly, the third member of the raiders appeared.

Damn it. I forgot about its existence. Looks like he has stealth abilities like Kat too.

With a frightened expression on his face, Seb couldn't help but let the curly-haired man's arms wrap around his neck.

"Don't move or your friend is dead.." The third assailant stuck his knife to Seb's neck.
