280: Chapter 280 The Controlled Rat Rabbit

Zombie Rats are impossible.

The attack happened in the morning, so how could zombies be active during the day?

Therefore, they must be real, living animals.

"According to the scout's report, these Rat Rabbits are extremely numerous, stretching for several kilometers, and move incredibly fast. Under their attack, the Bayan Sumu Settlement lasted less than 10 minutes before being breached," Shen Tu Zheng Hao continued.

"Then what do you mean by these Rat Rabbits cooperating with them?" Zongzheng Yue asked.

"I brought a video recorded on-site; everyone can watch it together," Shen Tu Zheng Hao said without explaining.

After watching the video, everyone understood what was happening.

The video file had been copied to the projection equipment in advance and could be played directly.

The footage was shot from a high altitude, quite far away, but still relatively clear.

From the screen, it could be seen that the land was severely desertified, and the entire ground presented a desolate, earthy yellow color.

In this desertified land, there was a small town, with high earthen city walls standing around it.

To the north outside this city, a vast, dark grey mass was constantly moving on the ground.

Upon reaching the city's outskirts, they quickly split into two teams, spreading along the city walls to the left and right, and soon surrounded the entire small city.

Subsequently, a small team estimated to be two to three thousand strong, led by several jeeps, continuously approached the small city.

They were getting closer and closer.

Then, a miraculous scene appeared.

Those Rat Rabbits actually moved aside, creating a passage for this small team.

"Oh?"

Upon seeing this, several Councilors let out soft gasps.

They all understood what Shen Tu Zheng Hao meant.

When that small team reached the city gates, several people from the leading jeep got out, looked at the sky, and pointed at the camera, shouting.

They had spotted the reconnaissance plane in the sky, seemingly issuing a warning.

Soon, one person took out a handheld rocket launcher and aimed it at the plane.

The screen quickly zoomed out, and the footage stopped there.

"This video was taken by the reconnaissance plane sent out this morning. At that time, the flying altitude was relatively low, and they had already been discovered. To prevent being shot down, it quickly withdrew," Shen Tu Zheng Hao explained.

The Councilors nodded, indicating they understood.

"These Rat Rabbits are definitely problematic," Zongzheng Yue concluded.

"Lao Zong, aren't you stating the obvious! Everyone can see there's an issue with these things, but what exactly is the issue?" Liu Feiying of the Military Political Department chuckled.

Zongzheng Yue glanced at him but said nothing more.

"They look like they are being controlled by someone," Jing Cheng of the Culture Department said.

"I feel the same way," He Jinghui of the Security Department shared the same view.

"How about this, Councilor Liu, I'll hand this video over to you. Have the people from the Information Technology Department analyze it and give us a result as soon as possible," Baili Ji arranged.

The Information Technology Department is a subordinate department of the Military Political Department, falling under Liu Feiying's jurisdiction.

These Councilors present were not professional in technology; discussing it back and forth would only lead to a war of words.

"Okay," Liu Feiying replied.

"Before the results come out, let's make a hypothesis. If these Rat Rabbits can be manipulated by humans, what would be the worst outcome? Everyone, please share your thoughts," Baili Ji said.

The hypothetical method is a commonly used approach in decision-making.

We cannot ideally assume that all matters will develop in the direction we hope. If we want our side to be invincible, we must ensure that even in the worst-case scenario, there is a stable way to respond.

"That depends on their cost to achieve this. Ulan Country is a landlocked country, and its technological level has always been relatively backward. I believe that even if they can achieve this, the cost will probably not be low," He Jinghui of the Security Department said.

"Actually, there's another possibility. I wonder if their method of controlling Rat Rabbits is consistent with our Red Coat Sect's method of controlling zombies? What I mean is, perhaps their control over Rat Rabbits is not based on technology, but on some mysterious factor. If that's the case, then there might be no cost involved," Lu Yuanhang of the Water Affairs Department said.

"There's no need to worry about that. The method of controlling Rat Rabbits can absolutely not be the same as the method of controlling zombies," Zongzheng Yue said.

"Oh? It seems Councilor Zong knows some inside information?" Lu Yuanhang asked.

"Indeed, I do know some. Two months ago, we apprehended three Red Coat Sect Holy Envoys who participated in the zombie siege incident. Through interrogation, we obtained some intelligence from them. Among it, some secrets about the Red Coat Sect Holy Envoys using the Spirit Summoning Technique to control zombies were mentioned," Zongzheng Yue said.

"What? There's such a thing?" The Councilors were shocked and whispered among themselves.

From everyone's consistent shaking of heads, it was clear that they were unaware of this matter.

No wonder, the Speaker at that time was an imposter; it is estimated that these pieces of intelligence sank into the sea after being submitted.
