Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Chapter 45 - 45 – Some Miracle

As usual, I use the fast forward feature so that everything can run faster. However, just like before, time suddenly returned to normal.

"Yona.... My daughter.... Why did you leave me, my baby?"

Leva woke up because of the sleep talk from the old woman.

"Why did you do that? I'm still by your side, Yona...."

Tia's tears started to fall. I wonder what kind of incident made this old lady talk in her sleep?

[After her tribe is destroyed by another tribe, Tia manages to escape with her only daughter, Yona. However, Yona was traumatized because her closest people were killed, including her husband and three children. So, Yona couldn't take it anymore and ended her life.]

What a tragic story. But why does this appear as a notification? Ah, maybe because Tia wouldn't tell anyone about it.

"Yona!" Tia flinched violently and straightened her body. She looked around wildly, and her breathing was heavy.

Leva rushed to the old woman. "Are you all right, Tia?"

At first, Tia flinched when she saw Leva. However, it didn't take long for the old woman to come back to her senses. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, then looked at Leva with teary eyes.

"Oh, I just had a bad dream." The old woman sighed.

"I'll sleep by your side so you won't be scared anymore." Leva said softly.

Tia shook her head. "You don't have to do this, young lady."

Leva's mouth curled into a faint smile. "It's okay, I'll really accompany you."

Tia was silent for a moment, then nodded stiffly.

Once the two lay down, everything went super fast again. In just a few seconds, the sun had already appeared on the horizon.

And strangely, when Leva wakes up and stretches her body, the speed of time returns to normal again, even though I haven't stopped fast-forward.

My eyes immediately fell on Tia, whose eyes were half-opened and filled with tears.

"Tia?" Leva asked with her eyes widening even more. "Hey, Tia!"

While Leva pressed her ear to Tia's chest, I opened the old woman's profile window. I choked when I saw what was at the top of the window.

[Tia, 68 years (Colonist) - Dead]

Very unfortunate. You haven't even seen your new home and family, Tia.

Leva lifted her head from the woman's chest, took a deep breath, then closed her eyes.

It's still hit different for me. Maybe because Tia really looks like an actual human, from appearance to behavior. Not that I was unfortunate and wanted to mourn the old woman's death. No. I don't know her too well yet.

This is the feeling you will feel when you see a good person die. There must be something bothering you, right?

I crouched down beside Leva and said in the red-haired woman's ear. "Take all of her belongings, except for her clothes. Then, bury her properly. I know you may find this inappropriate, but in a survival situation like this, we have to make the most of everything we can get..."

Ah, lately, I've been doing things like that, trying to appease my colonists if I ask them to do questionable things. Yet, they will still obey me if I command them, no matter how bad what I ask them to do.

***

Once again, the fast forward in the game stops, and everything goes back to normal. However, this time it wasn't something about death, the arrival of another person, or the like.

After burying Tia, Leva had been walking for half a day. And she now found what she was looking for. The red-haired woman quickened her pace with a happy face when she saw a light-brown slope in the distance.

Clay.

Maybe because she was too excited, Leva didn't see her step and stepped on a rock that was quite sharp. The woman sat down, wincing in pain, examining the sole of her right foot, which was starting to bleed.

Ouch.

However, behaving like a champion, the woman was back on her feet and walking as usual. Her face didn't show that she was actually in pain.

Is it okay for her to be like that? Initially, I wanted to ask her to treat the wound first. However, I immediately realized it was pointless. The bandages she put on her hands yesterday didn't help. What if the bandage was used on the leg that was constantly rubbing against the ground? That's called wasting resources.

Arriving at the clay slope, Leva began to hoe the clay and put it in the wooden container she was carrying. She didn't take too long to do that because you could say the container she was carrying wasn't too big, although I'm sure once filled with clay, it would be so heavy.

Damn. She had to do things like this for days, going back and forth from her colony to this place and vice versa. There is no other alternative. Pif was weak, and the others had their jobs.

I hope you can survive this, Leva.

When she was about to carry the container full of clay, the woman was stunned. Then, she checked the sole of her left foot, which should have been injured.

What?

The soles of the feet showed no wounds at all. There was only dirt there.

[New traits acquired]

[Fast healing - Leva will heal much faster from any injury or illness]

Huh? So Tia passed down this kind of power or what? I even opened the profile window of the red-haired woman to check if the notification was correct. Maybe there's a bug.

This game surprised me again, huh? If I didn't care about Tia and let the granny starve, Leva wouldn't get this miraculous power.
