334: Chapter 334 Mysterious Baptism Ceremony
“Tell me how those animals are controlled!” Dai Zheng said.
“Those animals are genetically modified to recognize ultrasonic waves. I can give them commands through the Ultrasonic Emitter,” Ling Su explained.
“When we were in Batuo City, the dung beetless and Antss were both on the battlefield. How did they know which command was for them?” Dai Zheng asked.
Ling Tian had already answered this question, but Oriental Chen still wanted to hear Ling Su’s answer.
“It’s said that different animals receive different sound wave frequencies, so they don’t affect each other,” Ling Su replied.
“It’s said? Since you can control them, don’t you know this?” Dai Zheng questioned.
“The control consoles are pre-set, and they integrate many practical command sets. I don’t need to understand the internal working principles; I just need to select the corresponding command through the control console,” Ling Su explained.
“Can I understand it this way: multiple control consoles can simultaneously control those animals?” Dai Zheng asked.
“Yes,” Ling Su affirmed.
“Then if your opponents obtain a control console, or crack the sound wave signal, couldn’t they reverse-control those animals?” Dai Zheng asked.
“They probably could, I’m not very clear,” Ling Su was not very certain.
Things were now completely clear.
The Council’s initial speculation was largely correct.
Controlling those animals indeed did not require additional costs.
Additional costs referred to individually modifying each animal.
If there were additional costs, then the animal army could not expand indefinitely.
Conversely, if there were no additional costs, then these animals could reproduce in large numbers, and the animal army could expand indefinitely.
There was a fundamental difference between the two.
From the interrogation results, these animals were all genetically modified to increase their instinct for sound wave recognition. Genes, as hereditary material, can be directly passed on to the next generation.
In other words, animal individuals capable of recognizing sound waves, after reproduction, can produce more individuals with the same function, which is equivalent to having no additional costs.
Of course, there might be offspring that do not possess sound wave recognition capabilities through heredity, but this is also easily resolved. Individuals capable of recognizing sound waves can be easily selected, and the remaining individuals without this function would be directly eliminated.
Under human-intervened selective evolution, it can be ensured that all offspring possess this genetic trait.
“Tell me about the Moni Sect, say whatever you know,” Dai Zheng changed the subject.
“My Master says that the Holy Sect is the greatest sect in this world, and only she can lead us to light. We only need to sincerely perform the baptism ritual to receive blessings. I don’t know anything else,” Ling Su said.
“What is the process of the baptism ritual?” Dai Zheng asked.
“There’s nothing special, just meditate quietly on the night of the full moon, discard distracting thoughts, and close your eyes to meditate,” Ling Su shook her head and said.
“That’s it?” Dai Zheng didn’t believe her.
“That’s it,” Ling Su nodded.
“So you mean anyone can do this? Just by meditating on the night of the full moon, they can resist the virus?” Dai Zheng asked.
He didn’t believe in such mystical things. Oriental Chen didn’t believe it either.
“I don’t know if it works for you to do it that way, I only know it works for us to do it this way,” Ling Su replied.
Upon hearing this, Oriental Chen could basically conclude that this Ling Su was simply too naive and thought too simply. She firmly believed that everything her Master said was true and would not question it at all.
He thought there must be other operations behind the baptism ritual; it couldn’t possibly come from nothing.
However, asking her this question would certainly yield no answers.
“Do you know Ling Yue?” Dai Zheng asked another question.
“Ling Yue?” Ling Su was a bit confused.
“That’s right,” Dai Zheng affirmed.
“A Ling-generation, also a Saint Son of our Holy Sect, right?” Ling Su asked.
“That’s right,” Dai Zheng replied.
He himself didn’t know who Ling Yue was, he was just asking for Oriental Chen.
Oriental Chen had also just thought of it, so he just asked casually.
“I don’t know her,” Ling Su shook her head.
“Alright, one last time, are you sure you want to give this opportunity to your Senior Brother?” Dai Zheng asked.
“Yes,” Ling Su nodded firmly.
“Alright then! Take her away!” Dai Zheng commanded.
He had finished his questions, and the next step was to escort her back to Huaguo.
“Then you must keep your promise to me!” Ling Su emphasized.
“Don’t worry, I will!” Dai Zheng replied.
Letting Ling Tian leave was also Oriental Chen’s intention.
A micrometer-sized eavesdropping device had been secretly implanted in Ling Tian’s body, just like with Ling Yue and the Bearded Man. Killing them would be easy, but meaningless. Letting him go back would provide an opportunity to obtain more intelligence.
In reality, they had no choice; only Ling Tian could be sent back. Because Ling Tian might have access to more intelligence, which would be more valuable.
Agreeing to Ling Su was just going with the flow.
And there was one more thing that Ling Su needed to do. Shen Tu Zheng Hao’s troops were still trapped in Batuo City, and she was still needed to control those dung beetless.
Dai Zheng walked out of the warehouse, looked at Ling Tian, and said:
“Ling Tian, you are very lucky; your Junior Sister is willing to sacrifice herself to protect you. But I advise you, do not go to Huaguo again in the future, otherwise, you won’t be so lucky next time.” Dai Zheng warned.
Ling Tian lowered his head and said nothing, his fists clenched tightly.
Dai Zheng knew that saying these words was useless, but what needed to be done always had to be finished.
“The train from Kultak should arrive in a few days; you’ll have to rely on yourself.” After speaking, Dai Zheng turned and left.
The Special Operations Team members left him there and followed Dai Zheng onto the plane.
