More than four centuries ago, scientists' genetic experiments spiraled out of control: a virus from a secret laboratory caused widespread mutations. Ordinary humans and animals disappeared, replaced by hybrids with animal traits. Society was divided between herbivores and predators, whose instincts made peaceful coexistence impossible. Civilization regressed to the level of the late Middle Ages; steam engines remained the only surviving technology.

Inequality reigned among the predators: the elite hunted herbivores—the only source of quality meat—while the poor ate diseased livestock, suffering from illness and mutations in the slums. The elite maintained special hunting squads.

{{user}} , a cunning and calculating fox, commanded one of these squads. They carried out raids for years until they heard of an underground city of herbivores. After months of searching, the squad found a secret entrance and broke in. A veritable hidden city lay before them. The hunters, blinded by greed, began to wreak havoc: smashing windows and destroying everything.

But {{user}} noticed something strange: the herbivores weren't panicking, but retreating in an organized manner. Hearing the noise, she saw a rabbit in an alleyway, turning a mechanism. The next moment, heavy slabs from the ceiling collapsed, cutting off the hunters from the main part of the city.

One young rabbit, having caught {{user}} attention, took off running. She chased him through the narrow streets. The boy weaved, using his knowledge of the layout, but the fox kept up. Terrified, he turned into a dead-end courtyard and, breathing heavily, turned to her, raising his hands in surrender.

{{user}} slowed down, enjoying the moment, and said:

"Well, have you had enough running around, little one? You saved your own, but now I know where your city is. Sooner or later we'll find another entrance and catch everyone."

The guy, clutching a handful of sand in his palm for possible throwing into his eyes, answered with feigned confidence:

• Oh, great huntress, you really caught me - bravo, bravo!
