Chapter 175: Supermodel Race

Somewhere in Kai Tuo City.

Ma Kusi stared in surprise as the swarm of insects before him suddenly withdrew.

'Is it over?'

Just as he thought this, he realized the swarm wasn't retreating—it was moving en masse toward a certain direction within the city.

'That direction is...'

'Li Ang?'

Recalling the parasitic nature of that former subordinate, Ma Kusi's expression turned peculiar.

'With a swarm this large, can he really hold out?'

The skin flushed slightly, the Public Security Bureau chief gazed toward the direction of Li Ang's home and furrowed his brow.

He was considering whether to go lend support.

At that moment, a weary voice sounded beside him: 'What's wrong? Did the insects retreat?'

It was Jin Minna.

The commander of the City Guard signaled her subordinates to secure the surviving civilians, then walked toward Ma Kusi.

Hearing this, Ma Kusi didn't turn around. 'No—they're heading toward Li Ang's side.'

Jin Minna halted in her steps; she certainly remembered who Li Ang was.

After a moment of silence, the woman with a sharp-featured face asked: 'What are you planning to do?'

In response, Ma Kusi hesitated, glancing back at the ordinary civilians trembling inside the building, then sighed: 'All we can do is pray he survives. After all, this side is the priority.'

As Public Security Bureau chief, though he was usually greedy, he now chose to uphold his duty.

Who would have thought Jin Minna would say something that left Ma Kusi stunned: 'Take some troops over there to assess the situation and support him.'

'Is that appropriate?'

The commander of the City Guard casually lit a slender lady's cigarette and drew a deep breath.

Swirling smoke obscured her face, making Ma Kusi unable to read her expression.

'If he runs into trouble, neither will we be safe.'

Jin Minna saw clearly: since the insect swarm had all turned toward Li Ang's location, they could withdraw from here.

But that would take considerable time, so they needed to ensure Li Ang held out briefly, to allow them to evacuate the civilians.

At Jin Minna's reminder, Ma Kusi finally grasped the key point.

He took a deep breath to steady himself, then muttered with complaint: 'Damn it, the Federation pays me peanuts a month, and now I have to risk my life.'

'What about beyond your salary?'

Jin Minna crushed out the cigarette and rolled her eyes.

Given their personal relationship, the commander of the City Guard clearly knew what Ma Kusi was like behind closed doors.

Ma Kusi pretended not to hear the remark and began stretching his body: 'Give me the City Guard's elite.'

'Tsk… I can only spare half.'

Neither mentioned Bai Landu, who had vanished as if erased from the world.

After all, under these circumstances, his prolonged absence made the situation clear enough, didn't it?

Boom—!

Roaring flames devoured the insect swarm; violent explosions sent severed limbs flying.

Li Ang watched the number of insects before him show no sign of decline and scowled.

The insects' aggression toward him was overly intense.

Not just him—Danika was the same—but Mo Di faced the least attacks.

Thinking of this, Li Ang glanced at Danika and saw her continuously drawing blood qi from the corpses of the insects.

Though he had no idea where the insects' bodies even got blood qi from.

'No wonder she made it all the way here.'

To be fair, while Danika's destructive power wasn't strong, her endurance was unmatched—especially in an environment like this.
