Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

After bandaging his entire stomach, Pif looked at her right hand, which was shaking uncontrollably. He closed his eyes and then took a deep breath.

And in no time, his hands stopped shaking.

[Determination buff – All Pif's stats and physical abilities increased]

I'm still frozen, not knowing what else to do. Even when Pif finally got up with the medical kit box, I was still where I was.

You want to die, Pif?

Clenching my fists, I finally got up and followed the young man, who now seemed so calm. He also showed no signs of being seriously injured.

The male shooter tapped Emma on the shoulder. "Now it's my turn. Jill will treat your wound."

Emma looked at Eric again, then walked backward and finally left my colonists.

"Well, it's nothing personal." The gunman pointed his rifle at my colonists. "We're just trying to survive. Well, we have to admit, our preparations for that winter were pretty poor..."

"But, by stealing all of our supplies, you're just letting us die." Manu cuts the gunman off. My male colonist's eyes were sharp, though his mouth was still grimacing in pain. "Why don't you just kill us?"

"Basically, we're good people who don't like killing. We're just desperate." The gunman shrugged. "And I guess, by letting you guys live, that means we're still giving you guys a chance."

Bullshit.

Pif was not affected by that talk and focused on preparing everything.

"Wouldn't it be better if you treated Manu's wound first?" Leva grimaced as Kat handed a knife to Pif. The red-haired woman already knew what Pif was going to do. "Besides, I have fast-healing abilities, you know."

"We don't know what will happen if the bullet stays in your body while your wound heals on its own." Pif studied the knife in his hand. "Now, lie on your stomach and take off your pants."

Leva looked like she would argue, but I ordered her to follow her lover's words.

"Ugh, you say it like you're about to do something perverted to me," Leva grumbled, then fell on her stomach and pulled down her pants with Kat's help.

I immediately cringed at the bloody hole in Leva's back thigh. The wound looked nastier and bigger than Pif's.

Pif cleaned the wound with alcohol. Leva indeed grimaced in pain and flinched a few times, but no screams came out of her mouth at all.

After all that was done, Pif focused on cleaning Kat's knife, also using alcohol.

"Just a suggestion." Suddenly Jill, who was treating Emma, joined in. "Bite anything, so you don't bite your tongue when you scream. Preferably cloth. The pain will be unbearable."

Kat looked around for a moment, then found a small rag nearby. She folded the rag and put it in Leva's mouth.

"I'll do it now. Are you ready?" Pif said, holding Kat's knife firmly.

Leva was already biting the cloth in her mouth, making her voice muffled. "Just fucking do it!"

"Please hold her." The skinny youth started lowering the knife in his hand into Leva's wound.

Leva's muffled screams filled the room as Pif began prying the bullet in the red-haired girl's thigh. My other colonists needed extra effort to keep the woman from moving around too much.

Meanwhile, I can only watch while wringing my head. The screams were so terrifying. I can't imagine the pain Leva was in.

"Oh, shit. I can't see this." The gunman who was guarding my colonist turned his gaze away.

"It'll be over soon, Leva! Hang on!" A few seconds after saying that, Pif finally managed to get the bullet out of Leva's leg.

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief when the metallic clatter sounded as soon as it landed on the wooden floor.

Leva, whose body was covered in sweat, could only pant, still prone on the floor.

"Seb, can you take care of her now?" Pif looked at the blonde-haired man. "With her fast-healing abilities, I'm sure any stitch will work. I have to take care of Manu immediately."

Seb froze, but as soon as I gave a firm order, he finally nodded stiffly.

Sighing, Seb began to carry out Pif's instructions while the skinny young man tended Manu. I really can't believe that Pif was hurt too. His hands were still steady in cleaning, sewing, and bandaging Manu's wounds.

Or not...

Gradually, the young man's hands began to tremble again, and his breathing also slowed down. Eric, also realized that, was about to say something, but Pif gestured for the man to be quiet.

Minutes are like hours to me. Leva and Manu's tending finished simultaneously. The wounds of the two colonists were successfully bandaged.

"Looks like it's over." Pif looked alternately at Leva and Manu, then smiled widely. "I'm grateful."

There was a slow thud as the man fell to the side.

"Pif!!!" Leva hastily straightened up, crept up to her lover, wincing in pain and clutching her wound.

Eric lifted Pif's shirt at the waist.

"This...." Eric gulped as he found a large amount of blood seeping through the bandage that wrapped around Pif's stomach.

Because Pif was wearing clothes made of leather, the seepage was not visible from the outside.

"What happened, Pif!?" Leva brought her face closer to Pif's, and at the same time, placed her hand on her lover's cheek. The red-haired girl's eyes began to fill with clear liquid.

"I'm sorry, Sis...." Pif's voice was so low and almost inaudible.

I ordered Seb to tend Pif. However, when checking the medical kit, the blonde-haired man choked.

"It's all gone...." Seb hissed.

I held my head again. Inside the medical kit box, there were no more bandages. The plastic bottle that was supposed to contain alcohol was also empty.

Leva turned to the raiders, who looked unconcerned and were still organizing my colonists' belongings.

I saw the other medical kit that was being put in one of the sacks.

Perhaps seeing the same thing, Leva got up with a ferocious expression. "Hey, return that thing to us!"

The man guarding my colonists, along with Emma and Jill, pointed their respective weapons at Leva.
