Chapter 455: Discussion
“How’s it going?”
“Relax, it’s a piece of cake,” Warwick replied smugly. Thanks to the technological disparity and their advanced tools, the Rat Folk’s intranet defenses were practically non-existent to him.
“Warwick, set up access permissions for us as well. Everyone, follow the division of labor we just discussed and start combing through your respective categories,” Blanca instructed.
Though the Captain had delegated command to Warwick, Blanca had effectively taken the reins.
Thus began an intense period of activity. The team had already studied the Rat Folk’s language and writing system beforehand, so navigating their intranet posed no difficulty.

“This is really strange…” Amina murmured, deep in thought. She had been tasked with investigating the Rat Folk’s history.
“What’s wrong? Did you find something unusual?” Blanca asked.
“The Rat Folk’s history is astonishingly short. According to their own historical records, nearly a thousand years ago, a fireball fell from the sky, wiping out the apex predators of the food chain at the time. This allowed a lower-tier species called Tail Lard Rats to rise and eventually evolve into the present-day Rat Folk.”
