Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

For some reason, Jia's group did not know of our arrival. So, I chose to do a surprise attack using mermans. I ordered them to go straight ahead and open fire on the camp.

The camp members immediately panicked. The women who were doing activities—strangely, no one was wearing any clothes—were scattered. At the same time, the men came forward and lay down or did cover while holding firearms.

I deliberately didn't order the mermans to let the combatants hide first. After that, the army of the half-fish creatures could all go out. They implanted tubular tools into the ground, which magically brought out metallic plates that were strung into hiding places.

The sound of gun explosions began to echo with the hisses of the merman's water rifles. The members of Jia's group were far more numerous. Still, they couldn't do anything because their shots only hit the metal covers of the mermans. Some of them fell under the gunfire of the half-fish creatures.

However, this is nothing. The main show hasn't started yet.

And finally, it happened. The mech in the center of the encampment started to move, the wheel at the thing's feet spun, sending it sliding toward the mermans. The members of Jia's group cheered as their trump card was finally used.

This time, the mermans focused on shooting at the mech. Unfortunately, their weapons couldn't do anything about the dark green war tool. Their high-pressure water spray doesn't even leave a dent.

When the mech finally exited the encampment area, it raised its machine gun-mounted right hand.

The machine gun spun and started spewing bullets at very high intervals. The mermans could only hide behind their metal covers and couldn't shoot back.

We just have to wait.

The shots couldn't penetrate the cover of the mermans, only vibrating them and causing dents. Then, the moment I had been waiting for happened. The machine gun of the mech smoked and stopped.

They could make escape pods that could penetrate the friction of the atmosphere, but their weapons still overheated? Well, this is all just a game, anyway.

The speared merman soldiers came out of their hiding behind the gunners. They perform agile movements by running zigzag and jumping randomly to make it difficult for opponents to aim at them. The gunners from Jia's group could do nothing but shoot through the air.

The spear wielders leaped onto the mech's body, striking its joints. The mech tried to release them, but the half-fish creatures' movements were so agile dodging the mech's hand. A few were caught, and their bodies slammed to the ground, but that was only a tiny amount.

And when they are on the ground and struggling to get up, they become easy targets. I saw one of the merman whose armor was hit by the gunfire. His armor was hit by two bullets in the same spot, and it only caused dents. But in the third shot, the bullet pierced through the armor, creating a hole that oozed water mixed with blood.

Since they could move like that, they had to sacrifice the strength of their armor, or else their suit would be much heavier.

However, from my observations, we still have the upper hand. So, I decided to visit my colonists, who took a detour to come to the camp. Fortunately, there were hills beside the campsite, though a bit far. My colonists could get close by hiding in the hills.

Since there was nowhere to hide on the path to the campsite, my group of colonists consisting of Leva, Eric, Manu, and Miro was immediately detected. Several shooters sprang up to block, but they were quickly taken down by the gunman who followed us. The female merman was the one who gave the food to my colonists last night.

My colonists could easily get to the place filled with big tents. This time our shooters found no more enemies.

It didn't really calm me down.

"We have to be careful." Eric hissed as he gripped his katana tightly. "Be aware of our surroundings."

Miro stroked Rex, who looked confused. "This kid seems to have difficulty finding his master's smell. It looks like Jia used something to cover it up. That bastard is pretty smart."

Slowly, Leva entered one of the tents and was immediately taken aback by what she found. The naked women were huddled and cuddled in the corner of the tent, sobbing.

The women's bodies had bruises and whip marks. What the fuck happened in this camp?

"Is Kat here?" Manu, who brought the ax, comes in.

Leva looked a little taken aback by Manu's sudden arrival.

"What the...." Manu was at a loss for words seeing the pathetic condition of the women.

Leva comes to the women with Manu on guard as there could be someone else hiding in the tent.

"Don't kill us!" One of the women, looking the most mature of all, pleaded with sobs. She hugged several other girls who seemed very young, maybe even under twenty. They all cry too.

"We will not kill you," Leva said carefully. Maybe she had tons of questions in her head, but she could only ask one due to circumstances. "You know Kat, the black-haired woman with amber eyes who was brought here?"

The eldest woman nodded. "S-she is in the biggest tent in the middle of the camp…. Please, please don't kill us."

Leva flashed a faint smile. "No, we will instead help all of you. But wait a minute, we have to save our friend first."

Manu took a wide sheet of cloth from the corner of the tent. However, when they were about to wrap it around the women, they shook their heads violently.

"We will be punished if we wear anything. We have to remain like this and can only dress in winter." One of the women answered with trembling lips.

"Take it easy." Manu smiled faintly, still wrapping the women with the sheet of the cloth. "Soon, you will be free from them."

"That's right, we're really going to save you guys."

The eldest woman in the group looked at my two colonists in turn using her watery eyes. "T-thank you very much."

Leva's eyes also began to be coated with a clear liquid.. She certainly remembered the times when she was abandoned by her own tribe.
