Chapter 453 Betty's Predicament

"how is this possible!"

Betty looked at the data above with an expression of disbelief. After being stunned for a moment, she immediately performed a series of operations and re-tested the data, but in the end it showed exactly the same number as before.

"Eight hundred and seventy-three years?"

Laura looked at the sluggish Betty, but she didn't think "this girl is so pitiful", but complained about the device in front of her with Ada beside her.

"It can actually make people sleep for more than 870 years without any problems. The quality of this sleep chamber is really excellent."

Ada also nodded, saying that the service life of this device is really amazing, and then looked up at Ethan.

It just so happened that Ethan also looked up at her, and the eyes of the two revealed the same meaning: we must take this thing back and study it carefully!

"cough!"

He coughed lightly, reminding this girl named Betty.

"It seems that you have been sleeping longer than expected..."

Betty was stunned for a while, and finally came to her senses. She performed some operations again, and a series of data appeared on the holographic image, but this time, instead of giving out various information as quickly as before, it kept displaying Error, data loss, system crash, etc.

"It seems that the boast just now was too early."

In a closed space like a cave, Laura didn't deliberately lower her voice, so Betty could hear what she said.

"In eight hundred and seventy-three years, it's normal to have various problems." Betty worked for a while, and finally found that the only data she could get was knowing that she had slept for more than eight hundred years: "Although this kind of dormancy chamber is in sleep In the advertisement, it was claimed that it could run normally for more than a thousand years, but everyone just took it as a propaganda slogan, and no one thought that this thing could really make people sleep safely and soundly for a thousand years without any problems.”

Betty finally gave up on continuing to operate, and put all the equipment that could be taken out on her body: including a vest-like coat with some armor pieces hanging on it.

A belt and gloves, wrist guards, etc., and finally a long and short firearm.

Although the appearance is a style that Ethan has never seen before, both Ada and Ethan can tell that it is a firearm at first glance. According to some inspection actions of Betty, these two are energy weapons.

"According to the self-inspection just now, more than half of the various systems in this dormant chamber have been broken, only the life support device is still barely running, and even the automatic wake-up device is broken... If it wasn't for your arrival, maybe In a few years I will die in my sleep..."

After Betty checked the equipment, she thanked Ethan again.

"Thank you so much for saving me."

"You're welcome, we didn't actually do anything."

Ethan and the others just came to inspect the island to see if there was anything special here, but they didn't expect to find a living person, a little girl who was more than 800 years old...nearly 900 years old.

"No matter what, it is a fact that you saved me."

Betty sighed helplessly, perhaps thinking about what the outside world has become, or what went wrong? Why did 'outsiders' like Ethan appear in this place where no outsiders would ever enter.

"I want to make sure that you are not students of the Imperial Military Academy, right?"

"No." Ethan shook his head, and he didn't think there was any point in fabricating the identity of a student: "And we don't even know what the academy you're talking about is."

"Don't know the academy?"

Betty frowned even more, and she found that the situation seemed to be worse than she had imagined.

"How is this possible? The Imperial Military Academy is the most famous academy in the empire, and it is the academy that countless young people in the empire most hope to enter..."

Betty suddenly thought of something, and then carefully looked at the costumes of the crowd, as if she suddenly thought of a possibility, but she quickly denied her idea.

"Impossible, how could it be 'indigenous people'."

Betty just muttered softly in his mouth, barely making a sound, but it didn't escape Ethan's ears. His brows were slightly raised. The information behind this sentence is not very pleasant. .

At this time, Laura began to feel bored. After all, there was nothing here: "Is there anything we can talk about? Don't you like this dark and damp place?"

Betty turned her head and looked at Laura again. At this time, she noticed Xiao Ou lying on Laura's shoulder. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but then she looked carefully as if remembering something, and then she had an unbelievable expression on her face. He looked around again.

"Although I don't know exactly what you are thinking of, I hope you will explain everything in a moment."

Ethan already had some guesses, and he felt that his guesses were probably true.

"But now, as Laura said, let's get out of here first."

I don't know if it's because of the cold air discharged from the dormant chamber, or it may be a normal temperature change. Anyway, the temperature in this cave is getting lower and lower.

"All right!"

Betty thought about it, no matter what, getting out of here is the most important thing right now, she still has some things she wants to confirm, and she also needs to ask Ethan.

Although she felt that asking these people about those things might not be the right choice, she had no other choice now.

"Wait, I'll put this thing away first..." Ethan asked Betty again, "Do you still want this hibernation chamber?"

"No need, but there is no way to change the dormant chamber back after it is unfolded... and there is no way to change it without lifting equipment..."

Before Betty could finish speaking, she felt a blur in front of her eyes, as if a blue light flashed, and then the dormant cabin she had just been lying in just disappeared.

"What just happened?"

Betty walked back and forth three times to the place where the dormant cabin was placed just now, and squatted down to touch the ground that was obviously different from the ground next to it.

Except for one obvious trace, the huge and heavy dormant chamber seemed to have never existed.

"what have you done?"

Betty guessed what Ethan did, because it was this man who asked him if he didn't want it before the hibernation compartment disappeared? She just replied no, and the dormant compartment was gone.

"Just put it away, what? What else do you want?"

"No, I'm just curious where you put such a large dormant compartment?" Betty circled Ethan three times, and found that Ethan didn't seem to have any special equipment: "Is there any special space technology?"

"more or less."

Ethan didn't want to reveal too much before clarifying Betty's situation and affirming his speculation. After signaling with Ada and Laura, Ethan reminded Betty to go with him.

Betty was standing there in a daze, and waited until the light cluster above her head moved with Ethan, and the environment around her began to darken before she realized it, and hurriedly chased after her.

At this time, she noticed the ball of light floating above again. Just now she thought it was just an ordinary lighting device, but after looking at it for a long time, she found that it seemed to be a mass of pure energy aggregates.

The device worn on the wrist also gave the same conclusion, but she couldn't figure out how this mass of energy was controlled by Ethan and others.

She found that these suspected 'aboriginal people' were completely different from the ones she was familiar with.

"However, is this detector broken? Why does it keep prompting a high-energy reaction?"

Betty scratched her head, and finally turned off the alert.

Sighing helplessly, after sleeping for more than 800 years, it is not surprising that various devices have various problems, and it is thankful that they can still be used.

For example, the short gun worn on his waist has actually lost its function, and the long gun on his back has only a small amount of energy. I don't know how many more rounds it can fire.

She also carried these weapons on her body only as a deterrent. If she was in danger, she could not rely on these two weapons to protect herself.

The only thing that can be used is actually a dagger—what's even more tragic is that all the high-tech functions on the dagger are broken, and it can only be used as the most common dagger.

If it's dealing with the aborigines in the past, a dagger... barely can be used as a protective weapon.

But facing Ethan and the others, she felt that she had no sense of security at all.

"I hope the luck is not too bad. This man named Ethan seems to be a good man."

Wading in the icy river, Betty didn't feel uncomfortable. The clothes on her body could well isolate the icy river and the chill in it, ensuring that she would not be affected in any way. This was the only equipment on her body that functioned normally. .

So when she walked out of the cave, she didn't feel any discomfort.

Looking up at Ethan and the others, the girl named Laura was taking off her shoes and socks. After wringing out the water in the cotton socks, she tied them on her arms, and put on her shoes again with bare feet. superior.

The woman in the red dress was wearing a combat uniform, which should also be waterproof, so she didn't make a similar move.

As for the man named Ethan, he didn't care that his pants and shoes were soaked in water, and he seemed to be thinking about something standing there.

"Should we continue to go to the mountains?"

Laura tied up her socks, took a magic stone from her pocket, and handed it to Xiao Ou who was on her shoulder, but Xiao Ou rejected it with a look of disgust.

"No, let's go back to the beach."

Ethan glanced at Betty who was standing there looking at himself and the others. He felt that the information Betty had was more important than finding out the secrets of the island—it was very likely that Betty knew what was going on with the island, so maybe he had asked clearly. After that, all problems were solved.

In this case there is no need to continue wandering around the island.
