Chapter 281: Passionate Period

"It's okay, ma'am, why don't you see the head of the family?"

Randolph's lineage is really small. The Apocalypse Clan has such a long lifespan, but there is only one descendant like Randolph.

When she heard Li Meng asking about her husband, Evely's expression changed slightly.

She said calmly: "The head of the family has been away from home for 31 years, went to the Myriad Worlds, and has not returned yet."

Away from home for 31 years?

Went to the Perfect World?

Li Meng was speechless.

The pace of life in the Apocalypse Clan is really slow.

31 years here may have passed hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, in the Myriad Worlds.

If it were a human who had been away from home for such a long time, he would have collapsed long ago.

Also, although her husband had not returned for such a long time, there was no worry on Mrs. Evely's face.

Still so cold and expressionless.

Are the Apocalypse Clan expressionless?

Of course not, Randolph's facial expressions are rich.

Seeing that his father was mentioned, Randolph comforted his mother: "Don't worry, mother, father is the strongest among the strong in the world, nothing will happen, and he will definitely return before mother's estrus period comes."

Everly's face turned cold at Randolph's inappropriate words, and she looked at Randolph.

Facing his mother's cold eyes, Randolph's neck shrank, smiled awkwardly, and lowered his head to eat by himself.

He just spoke quickly, and it's not his fault.

He has long wanted a brother or sister. If he misses this time, he will have to wait another fifty years.

Looking at Mrs. Evely, and then looking at Randolph who was only focused on eating, Li Meng smiled secretly in his heart.

Li Meng naturally knew what the estrus period was.

The reason why the Apocalypse tribe has low fertility is because they still have the low-end animal behavior of "estrus period".

The so-called estrus period is similar to the estrus period of earth animals.

Only when the estrus period comes, the Apocalypse tribe women can conceive.

Although drugs can be used to shorten the duration of the estrus period, this will cause great harm to the body.

Even if conception is successful, the probability of deformity of the offspring will be very high.

Because of their long lifespan, the interval between the estrus periods of Apocalypse women is also very long, and they will only have an estrus period every fifty years.

Apocalypse men also have estrus periods, but unlike Apocalypse women, men's estrus periods are passive.

When Apocalypse women enter the estrus period, they will emit a body fragrance.

Apocalypse men stimulated by the body fragrance will enter the estrus period.

However, within fifty years, Apocalypse men have only one ability to "release".

Once "released", they will no longer be stimulated by the body fragrance of Apocalypse women entering the estrus period.

Compared with other races, the Apocalypse is a low-desire race.

However, it is precisely because of this that absolute rationality brings more cruelty and ruthlessness.

The laws of the Apocalypse territory are the most stringent.

The so-called "no punishment for the masses" does not exist in the Apocalypse territory. Even if millions of people break the law, they will be severely punished.

Because of low fertility, although Apocalypse Star is the territory of the Apocalypse Clan, with a population of more than 20 billion, the Apocalypse Clan only accounts for 10% of it.

In the entire Dark Star Region, the Apocalypse Clan has a population of only more than 2 billion.

More than 2 billion people may seem like a lot, but compared to the Il Clan and the Tianyi Clan, it is far behind, not even a fraction.

From Archbishop Ruiong's memory, Li Meng obtained some information about the three major races in the Dark Star Region.

In terms of population, the Il Clan has the largest population, with more than 140 billion people.

The Tianyi Clan is second, with about 100 billion people.

The Apocalypse Clan has the smallest population, only more than 5 billion.

However, despite the small population, the Apocalypse Clan's military strength far exceeds that of the Tianyi Clan and the Il Clan.

There are three reasons.

First, compared with the Tianyi Clan, the Il Clan and the Apocalypse Clan are more united. Although there is no unified regime, the major families can unhesitatingly unite against the outside world when the race is in danger. This is absolute rationality.

Second, the Apocalypse is a very ancient civilization. Before the four empires left the Dark Star Region, the Apocalypse had already existed in the Dark Star Region for many years and possessed more advanced technology. If it were not for the low fertility and slow population growth, the Apocalypse would have the potential to become an empire.

Third, among the ten kings, the Apocalypse accounts for six. The Apocalypse was the first to set off this wave of mecha and sky talisman technology. In the entire Dark Star Region, the Apocalypse has more advanced mecha and sky talisman technology, and the best mechas are all made by the Apocalypse.

I've thought too much...

Putting aside the random thoughts in my mind, Li Meng put down the wine glass in his hand.

He looked at Mrs. Evely and asked, "Madam, you should know the agreement between Randolph and me. I wonder if you recognize the verbal agreement between Randolph and me."

Li Meng had long seen that in this family, Mrs. Evely had the final say.

If Mrs. Evely disagreed, Randolph would not be able to use his family connections to help humans.

Evely nodded slightly to Li Meng's question.

"Randolph told me about this matter. I have no objection. I am willing to cooperate with Lord Li Meng."

Hearing this, Li Meng remained calm on the surface, but he was muttering in his heart.

She was talking about me, not the Augustus family.

The object of her cooperation is myself, not humans.

What a smart woman...

She should have learned about her power from Randolph.

Compared with humans, she values ​​her own power more.

"Then it's settled. Madam, if there is any difficulty that you can't solve, please tell me. Although humans are not yet capable of participating in an interstellar war, I can still make someone disappear."

To Li Meng's surprise, Mrs. Evely did not clearly ask him to do anything.

In the following time, the dinner was just chatting.

The topic was related to the Apocalypse Clan, the Apocalypse Star, and humans.

The dinner ended only when the night deepened.

"Um, Lord Li Meng, please wait a moment..."

Randolph caught up with me just after leaving the restaurant.

"Randolph, just call me "Li Meng", no honorifics needed."

"That won't do. Lord Li Meng is a real strong man. It's only right to call you Lord. Lord, please don't be polite."

It was just a casual remark. He didn't force me to call him whatever I wanted.

"Go ahead, what's the matter?"

Randolph laughed and said, "Let's talk while we walk."

Then, the two walked side by side in the long corridor.

Looking forward and backward, seeing that there was no one around, Randolph whispered, "Mother will invite you to bathe together in a while, Lord, please don't refuse."

Bath together?

Li Meng looked surprised, but then he reacted.

With Archbishop Ryan's memory, he knew what "bathing together" was.
