Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"It's okay, Madam, 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 Randolph as a descendant.

When Li Meng asked 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 Wanqian World, and has not returned yet."

Away from home for 31 years?

Going 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 Wanqian World.

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 at the moment, 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 Domain, the Apocalypse had already existed in the Dark Star Domain 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 Domain, 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 herself, not humans.

What a smart woman...

She should have learned about her own power from Randolph.

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

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

What surprised Li Meng was that Mrs. Evely didn't explicitly ask him to do anything.

For the rest of the dinner, it was just small talk.

The topic is related to the Apocalypse tribe, the Apocalypse star, and humans.

The dinner didn't end until the night got darker.

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

As soon as he left the restaurant, Randolph caught up with him.

"Randolph, just call me "Li Meng", no honorific required."

"This is not possible. Lord Li Meng is a truly strong man. If you call me Lord, please don't be polite."

It was just a casual comment. Li Meng didn’t force him to call him whatever he wanted.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

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

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

Looking forward and back, and seeing no one around, Randolph whispered: "Mother will invite you to take a bath together in a while, please don't refuse."

Bathing together?

Li Meng looked surprised, but then he reacted.

Having the memory of Archbishop Ryan, he knew what "sharing a bath" was like.
