Clover woke up to the feeling of his head splitting apart. A severe burst of pain jolted Clover awake, causing him to shoot straight out of his bed.
"Damn it!" Clover cursed out loud.
"What the hell happened to me? I feel like my head is about to split apart from the seams."
Clover hurried used his hands to massage his temple to relieve the headache he was feeling. At the same time, Clover quickly took in his surroundings.
With great difficulty, Clover managed to recognize his current environment. Looking at the familiar pieces of bland furniture, Clover realized that he was in his room on the 'Going Broke'.
Noticing this, Clover was confused.
"How did I get here?"
"Wasn't I still in the cockpit before?"
Clover had some doubts about his current situation. Because of his headache, Clover's memory was currently blank, and he was having difficulty remembering what had happened before he fell asleep.
Just as Clover was tryin
"This is what has been happening since you fell unconscious, Clover," Trudy began. "First of all, we have successfully escaped from the green river and no longer need to fear for our lives for the time being." Clover perked up as he listened to Trudy's words. Her first sentence brought a smile to Clover's lips. reacting quickly, Clover said to Trudy, "That is great news Trudy... how were you able to manage it without me?" Clover was curious and hasty to know how Trudy had managed to get them out of that dangerous situation despite him falling unconscious and their ship being unable to scan their environment. In response to Clover's question, Trudy answered, "Unfortunately, sir, I will have to disappoint you. I am sorry to say that I had no hand in getting us out of that dangerous situation." "What!!" Clover was surprised... He didn't expect to hear that from Trudy at all. "In that case, how did we get out?" Clover asked
Shortly after Clover woke up, he immediately got to work trying to do his best to get his ship into working condition while also preparing for the arrival of their guests.It was only when Clover started working on the ship he understood how truly dire his situation was.All the main thrusters had been fried after being overworked when they tried to escape the green river. The ship was only relying on the backup thrusters to cruise through space, but their speed was very dismal and it would take them a very long time if they wanted to reach any habitable areas.Then there was the fact that without the scanners, they couldn't navigate their way in space. Fortunately, Trudy had managed to fix some of the short-range scanners and get them back to working condition, so they were not totally blind in space. This way, if there was a dangerous object or asteroid heading their way, they would be able to detect it in time and evade it. Although if Clover was so unlucky a
Three minutes later, a ship suddenly appeared in the range of Clover's sensors and Trudy immediately alerted clover of their arrival.At this moment, Clover was in the cockpit making last-minute preparations. When he suddenly received news about the ship's arrival, Clover looked up from what he was doing and checked upon them.The distance between Clover's ship and the approaching ship was several miles apart, and Clover could still not receive any visuals of the approaching ship. Still, a few miles was very short for interstellar travel, and in under a minute, the approaching ship had already gotten within a visual range from Clover's ship. That was when he discovered that it was not a single ship that was coming, but a small fleet of three ships.These three ships were coming at a very fast speed and they were bound to reach Clover in under a minute. But they did not slow down.Normally, in this kind of situation, it was common sense for flying ships to
In the dark and boundless universe, four ships were present, with three ships facing off against a single dilapidated vessel that looked like it had gone through a storm before and wrecked. This damaged vessel belonged to Clover, and the remaining three ships were those who had responded to his distress signal and come.Right now, the three ships were just a few kilometers away from Clover's ship and it seemed like they were in a standoff following Clover's warning shot.On one end, Clover was watching the actions of the three ships prepared to fire his ready weapons at the first sign of provocation. As for the three ships, they were silent.Ever since Clover's last transmission, they had not replied to him at all.Right now, inside the leading ship of the three ships, in the cockpit, a group of alien creatures was gathered around, listening to Clover's words over the communication lines. These creatures were not like the reptilian Versilians instead, the
Inside the 'Going Broke', Clover watched through his screen at the three ships that had stopped some distance away from him. There were a few readings on the screen based on the specs of the ships that Trudy could dig up after hacking into their systems.The three pirate ships did not know that Trudy had long infiltrated into their systems and was lurking after digging up information on their ships and the identities of the pirates while they were still trying to hack into clover's ship.Trudy was a perfect artificial intelligence life form created by the highest level of information science technology available to the Universe Immortal Clan. Her capabilities trump every other common artificial intelligence in the universe, so it was a piece of cake for her to infiltrate the systems of an ordinary pirate group.From the very beginning, ever since the pirates had come within range, Clover had been monitoring their movements using Trudy, who infiltrated their syst
Sorry guys for the month long hiatus. I was taking this time to prepare another book that I was going to use to participate in the latest contest on Meganovel. Now I am done with that and it will be added to my current books. I hope everybody can check it out and support me. The name of my new book is: Brothers Together: Us Against Doom. Don't forget to check it out, okay? Currently I have four books that I am writing and I feel like I may have bitten more than I can chew with them. But I promise to continue uploading at least one chapter daily for all four books... at least I will try. Please bear with me on this one, okay? Thanks for your understanding and support and a wonderful reading to you all!
As soon as Clover gave the command, the screen before him flashed and Trudy's voice came."Acknowledged!"Over on the pirate's side, with boots pirate ship in the lead, the three pirate ships flew towards Clover's spaceship. Their weapons were locked and loaded and they had Clover's ship in their sights.The energy in the cannons was powerful, and they gave off blinding light as they aimed at Clover. This shot had been charged for a long time and it aimed to break Clover's protective shield with one single attack. With all three ships firing at the same time, even the shields of large transport carriers that boasted powerful defensive capabilities might be destroyed in one volley.As soon as the cannons were charged to the limit and the pirates had reached an optimal distance from Clover's ship, Boot gave the order to attack."Fire!"Hearing this command, the pirates in charge of artillery were about to fire the ship's cannons when suddenly,
The three pirate ships were drowned in the lights of their own cannon fire. Explosions spread all over the ships and a large hole was blasted into the sides of the pirate ships.Normally, pirate ships were usually focused more on speed and attack power, and their defense was usually very fragile. Also, the three ships had routed most of their energy into charging their cannons so they could deliver a powerful strike. This made their originally lousy shields become even more flimsy.With just one shot, the three pirate ships became crippled.The cannon shots were also aimed at a clever angle that caused massive damage to the thrusters of the ships. Right now, the three pirate ships were sitting ducks in space and they could not move because their thrusters had been damaged.How did all of this come to be?Well, it was because of a simple reason... the one responsible for causing such massive damage to the pirate ships was Trudy.Previously, T
