331: Chapter 331 Lingtian Confession

Dai Zheng was certain he was a coward, and since he had a chance to live, he would never give it to his naive Sister.

"I'll talk!" Ling Tian panicked when he heard this and quickly expressed his willingness to cooperate.

"Senior Brother..." Ling Su wanted to stop him, but she didn't know what to say.

If she stopped her Senior Brother, he would die here, which was not what she wanted to see. But if Ling Tian chose to speak, it was as if he was pushing her alone towards death.

At this moment, her heart held a trace of disappointment, a trace of sadness, and also a trace of hope.

She was disappointed because her Senior Brother hadn't thought of giving her the chance to live. Although she wasn't afraid of death, what girl wouldn't want her beloved to dote on her? She was sad because she was going to die, and she would never see her Senior Brother again. She hoped that Dai Zheng would keep his word and let her Senior Brother live, even if she had to take on the crime of betraying the Holy Sect herself, she wouldn't care.

"Take her out first!" Dai Zheng commanded.

Originally, he had a bit of a malicious pleasure in mind, wanting to let this Sister see her Senior Brother's true colors. But he thought better of it; completing the mission was more important.

What if she was naive? Even if she was naive, she couldn't absolve herself of the monstrous crime of slaughtering an entire city's populace.

Ling Su looked back at her Senior Brother every three steps, reluctantly leaving the warehouse. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she tried hard to engrave her Senior Brother's appearance firmly in her mind.

After Ling Su walked out, Dai Zheng spoke.

"Alright, speak. But I warn you, don't play any tricks. This is your only chance, you must seize it firmly."

"Okay." Ling Tian nodded.

"In Kultak of Olos Country, we have a biological laboratory belonging to our Holy Sect. Within it, there's a research team specifically studying gene programming technology," Ling Tian said.

Oriental Chen had been following the interrogation's progress through the synchronized footage from Dai Zheng.

When he heard "gene programming technology," his heart skipped a beat.

"What does this have to do with controlling those animals?" Dai Zheng asked.

He didn't understand these questions at all; on one hand, he didn't know what to ask, and on the other hand, he wouldn't understand the answers. Behind him, Oriental Chen was actually sending him questions via his Digital Eye, and he was just asking them.

"Because those animals are all genetically modified organisms," Ling Tian revealed a shocking secret.

Oriental Chen's head buzzed when he heard his answer.

He hadn't developed gene programming technology, but someone else had. Now he just didn't know to what extent the other party had developed this technology.

"How is it specifically achieved?" Oriental Chen sent the question to Dai Zheng, and Dai Zheng asked.

"This area is highly specialized; I only know the general operational process. But how each step is achieved, I'm not very clear," Ling Tian said.

"Tell me what you know," Dai Zheng said.

"Okay! The laboratory researchers primarily analyze and study the genes of bats, extracting gene segments responsible for ultrasonic vocalization and reception, and then transplanting these segments into the fertilized eggs of other animals. However, it is said that for a long time at the beginning, the experimental process was not smooth. Most of the fertilized eggs with modified genes died in the womb after developing to a certain extent. Even if a very few young ones were successfully born, they could not survive due to developmental deformities," Ling Tian said.

"What happened later?" Dai Zheng continued to ask.

"Later, after the virus outbreak, a genius youth came to the laboratory. He only took more than a month to successfully cultivate a type of Rat Rabbit that could receive ultrasonic signals, and this Rat Rabbit could recognize up to 16 types of ultrasonic signals," Ling Tian said.

"Wait, do you mean that before the virus outbreak, you had already established a biological laboratory in Olos?" Dai Zheng asked on behalf of Oriental Chen.

"Strictly speaking, that laboratory was not established by us, but belonged to Olos Country. It was just secretly controlled by us later," Ling Tian explained.

"Now that the virus is rampant, the biological laboratory should be a strategic department. How could Olos Country possibly stand by and do nothing?" Dai Zheng asked.

"They don't know there's a problem with the laboratory; it's still nominally under official management," Ling Tian explained.

Dai Zheng nodded, indicating he understood.

"Continue," Dai Zheng said.

"Rat Rabbits have strong reproductive capabilities. In a few months, the laboratory cultivated tens of thousands of such mutated Rat Rabbits. They don't need training; they are naturally able to recognize and execute 16 commands. After learning of this, the Holy Sect put forward two demands: first, to quickly cultivate an army of combat-ready Rat Rabbits, and second, to try and cultivate other mutated animals," Ling Tian said.

"So those dung beetless and Antss were also cultivated in the laboratory?" Dai Zheng asked.

"The dung beetless were, but it's said that the Antss were half due to an accident," Ling Tian replied.

"What do you mean?" Dai Zheng asked.

"They initially cultivated a type of small Ants. However, possibly due to the influence of the virus, the Antss mutated, and by a strange coincidence, a type of giant Ants capable of recognizing sound waves was cultivated," Ling Tian explained.

"Then how do you control these three types of animals differently?" Dai Zheng asked.

"I don't really understand the specific reasons, I only generally know that there are differences in the sound wave frequencies that different species can recognize," Ling Tian said.
