Chapter 173: Universal Corporate Union

The afterglow of the star fell upon the ruins of Pioneer City No. 66, flames crackling amid choking black smoke.

Suddenly struck by such a massive swarm attack, the pioneer city had clearly been pushed to the brink of destruction.

Even if the zerg later withdrew, Pioneer City No. 66 would likely still face the edge of being abandoned.

At this moment, a vast swarm of bugs roamed between the buildings, yet they tacitly avoided a certain block.

Without the Overlord's command, they would not launch an attack against it.

And since Li Ang and his group were waiting for the support of the Inspection Bureau's starships, they certainly weren't going to go out looking for trouble.

As for breaking out—

The fact that the swarm was currently walking around them was only because they hadn't made a move.

If any of them so much as twitched, this peaceful scene would surely be gone.

This was the result of the attempt Li Ang and the others had made half an hour ago.

Amid the broken ruins, the four sat on metal stools forged by Heaven and Earth as Furnace, chatting on and off.

Of course, only some scraps were left; otherwise Li Ang could have built a metal fortress on the spot.

"So Danika, you're really a vampire?"

Li Ang looked at his former superior, who showed not the slightest discomfort under the star's light, and couldn't help sighing.

Hearing his voice, Danika stretched lazily: "Weren't there some native vampires on that planet of yours? Afraid of light, afraid of silver, and had to drink blood?"

"Those inferior genes were eliminated by our clan's Sovereign Lord countless years ago."

"But Boss Li, could you call me a Bloodkin? The name 'vampire' sounds too ugly."

There it is—the interstellar vampire's contempt for the native vampires.

Li Ang fell silent for a moment, never expecting there to actually be racial discrimination among vampires.

After a while, he couldn't help posing a soul-searching question: "If you don't have any of those flaws, then why do you still call yourselves Bloodkin?"

Facing his inquiry, Danika yawned and answered: "Blood can amplify our combat power; we just don't need to consume it on a daily basis anymore."
