Chapter 181: T Slayer (2)

I sat on the grass and watched Gwen swim in the lake. Several times I found the woman smiling at me.

About half an hour had passed, Gwen walked out of the lake wringing her hair.

With a beautiful body full of sparkling water drops, she is different. And I feel like I'll never get tired of seeing it. She is a beauty to my colony, for sure.

Maybe she beat Kat?

"You didn't go swimming, Eric?" Gwen came to Eric, still dripping with water.

Eric, who was sitting near his carriage, didn't want to look at Gwen again. I did tell the man to wait after he finished filling the cart with clay.

"Well, it's still quite chilly." The man answered.

Gwen's eyes narrowed at the man. "You can't swim, can you?"

Instead of answering, Eric shuddered. And that made Gwen chuckle.

"Your reasoning just now makes sense, but I feel your tone changed." Gwen is grinning. "So, what's the story?"

"Because of people like you." Eric got up and started arranging his cart. "And don't ask any further, please. Get dressed, so we can get home quickly. And don't forget, you'll have to help me push this later."

Hmmm, I'll have to dig into this story later.

"Alright. Alright." Gwen shrugged, then walked over to her bag. She took out her clothes, then wiped off the water on her hair with a towel.

Even while doing that simple thing, her movements look sensual. Even so, Eric still wouldn't look at Gwen.

After a while, I was annoyed with his nonchalant behavior. So, I whispered into his ear, "Hey, turn your head to that woman. It's not like she doesn't want to be seen by you. She's actually happy when that happens."

Eric held his breath, looking very reluctant. However, of course he obeyed my orders. He turned his head to the blonde woman with a rigid, robot-like motion.

The man closed his eyes and looked the other way. It turns out that Gwen is shirtless and is now lowering her bikini bottom.

"Really? You don't take the initiative to change clothes behind a bush, tree, or boulder? You really don't have any basic decency?"

Gwen, who was drying her body, chuckled again. "Hey, you finally look at me! As expected, you actually..."

"No, I have no interest in your body at all, but I feel compelled to turn my head to you. I don't know the reason." Eric cut Gwen off in a quick tone. "Hurry up and put on your clothes, or I'll leave you behind."

"Motherfucker." Gwen gritted her teeth.

Right after Gwen said that everything stopped completely.

Auto-pause.

I looked in the direction that led to my colonists' homes, finding a large red arrow in the air pointing there.

I used the warp feature to return to that place. Seb is still gardening, and Manu is dealing with firearms inside the house.

They didn't realize what was coming out from around their house. That... Like giant gray worms? They have what looks like skinny fingers in their mouths like they are for digging the ground...

No, they're not worms. They are like centipedes, have many legs and a segmented body. The ends of their bodies protrude from the ground around the house.

I gave orders to Manu and Seb, with Manu taking the lead as he probably knew about these animals. After that, I went to find Kat, who was hunting, and also to Leva, who was trying to find the source of the gunpowder. I asked them to come back to help defend the house. After that, I returned to the lake.

"In your house, centipede-shaped monsters are coming out of the ground. Help your friends to defend your house." I spoke into Eric's ear.

I then looked at Gwen, who was still naked, then looked at the carriage full of clay.

Should I leave this cart and get it back later? Is it effective?

I looked at Gwen again. This blonde-haired girl didn't have a high ranged attack stat yet. Is her presence necessary to defend the house?

I opened the in-game browser to check the animals. In the past, I was too idealistic, so I didn't want to check the information. And maybe I'm too immersed in this virtual world, so I often forget to do things like this.

[Ash Digging Centipedes - They are passive beasts that won't attack humans, but they can swarm your colonists' homes if there are traces of ash in them. For example, from the fireplace, cooking stove, bonfire....]

So, Gwen is not really needed, right? And if there is already one threat that comes, then there will be no other threats lurking. So, Gwen is safe alone.

"Gwen, you'll be the one pushing this carriage all the way home." I gave the order to Gwen. "Please."

I was going to use the warp feature again to return home, but I remembered that Gwen would know if I gave the order.

So, I pressed the play button instead. Eric immediately ran away from Gwen, who could only freeze because she didn't expect that.

"Sorry, there's a monster attack in the house. Eric is really needed there, so now it's your job to bring this carriage home."

"Huh?" Gwen blinked, and her chin started to drop. Before she spoke again, I warped into my house.

The horse in the stable neighed and raised its front legs. Seb had run very far while Manu was chopping off the heads of the monsters with his ax.

Once hit by Manu's ax attack, the monsters spit out a thick white liquid, almost similar to what comes out of stump scorpions.

However, as more and more monsters appeared, Manu was overwhelmed. He wasn't attacked at all, but he couldn't handle the centipede monsters that kept on coming out of the ground and creeping into my colonists' homes.

"Nooo!!!" Leva, who was running from a distance, exclaimed like crazy. "Don't **** Manu!!!"

Huh? Did I hear wrong?

"These aren't rapist centipedes, Leva!" Manu's voice faltered a bit as he continued to attack the monsters. "They're just ash centipedes. They will not **** us but destroy our house."

What!? Rapist centipede!? What the fuck is that!?
