Chapter 174 Sloane Manor

The natural environment of Guansuo 4 is harsh.

There are not many plants that can grow naturally here.

Even the plants that can grow locally are ugly because of the natural environment here and countless years of evolution in order to adapt to such a harsh environment.

It can't be said to be ugly, but it's not very good-looking anyway.

Basically, the leaves of plants are very sparse, and sometimes they don’t even look like leaves, but some kind of branches, which are very hard.

Moreover, most plants cannot grow very high. Generally, plants that can grow to a height of one person are already very tall and very old.

Most native plants are about the same height as shrubs on Blue Planet.

Their branches above the ground are low, but their root systems underground are well developed. A well-developed root system allows them to obtain more water and nutrients.

And in this Sloan Manor, from the outside, Li Xin only saw clusters of green plants.

Of course, it wasn't just green plants. In the distance, Li Xin also saw a big tree full of purple flowers.

God have mercy on me. Li Xin didn’t know how to cherish it when he was on Blue Star. After traveling to Guansuo 4, he hasn’t seen such natural plant colors for more than ten years.

The last time I saw green plants was when I saw the vegetables grown in the hydroponic farm.

Generally speaking, such green plants are difficult to survive in Guansuosi.

There is only one way to keep these plants alive.

Or you can replace it frequently and get a new one when it dies.

If this plant wants to thrive, it can obviously only grow in a special greenhouse.

There was no similar device in the sky above Sloane Manor.

If you don't replace them frequently, you can use high technology and spend money to maintain these plants to ensure their growth and survival.

But no matter which method is used, it will cost a lot of money.

That's why, after taking a look, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh that the owner of this place was rich.

To put it bluntly, a big tree growing here may cost more money than Li Xin's life.

This is really ironic.

The convoy stopped at the gate of Sloan Manor. As Li Xin's deputy company commander, Guan Yan got off the armored vehicle in front wearing power armor.

Li Xin took a glance and saw that at the gate of Sloan Manor, in addition to the manor's original guards, there was also a team of Heng'an Defense infantry on guard.

Guan Yan took action, and the infantry of Heng'an Defense looked at the officer wearing blueprint power armor, briefly checked his identity information, and then let him go.

The convoy passed the gate and continued on its way.

At least two squads of Heng'an infantrymen were guarding the gate. They all saluted the convoy in unison and only put their hands down after the convoy passed.

A soldier watched the convoy drive away and exclaimed, "What a magnificent sight!"

“When will we be like them?”

"If it could be this cool, I wouldn't even dare to imagine..."

An old soldier beside him sneered: "Coward!"

"I dare to think!"

"Besides, what good are they? If you want to be an officer, you have to be one of the officers in the car!"

"No, not even an officer. I want to be a gentleman at the banquet!"

"Just imagine, holding a golden roasted leg of lamb in one hand, drinking delicious wine in one mouth, and hugging a busty woman next to me!"

"What the hell is energy paste? If you put it in front of me again, I won't even bother eating it!"

The other soldier perked up immediately after hearing this: "Really?!"

"Then give me your share today. I just feel like it's a little short of food!"

"I'll give you a piece of cake! Do you want to eat it?"

The convoy was driving inside the manor. Breathing the natural air here, Li Xin felt like his lungs were opening up.

In this environment, you can live a few more years.

On both sides of the road are tall natural plants. Li Xin hasn't seen this kind of scene for many years. He can only see it occasionally in his dreams when he recalls his previous life.

The convoy had not gone far when a group of people came towards them from the front.

Judging from their military uniforms, they are from Heng'an Defense, and some of them are wearing officer uniforms.

In the leading car, Guan Yan signaled the soldiers to stop.

After getting off the car, I communicated with the officer from Heng'an Defense opposite.

He informed Li Xin of the situation through the headset: "Company Commander, it's the officer from Heng'an Defense who's here. He knew we were coming and came to greet us."

"Are you going to come out and meet them?"

Li Xin, who was in the car, heard this and said without hesitation: "I understand. I'll come down right away."

Li Xin had to conduct a safety inspection at Sloan Manor and make plans to deal with emergencies.

In this way, no matter how you look at it, there is no communication with Heng'an Defense, which is responsible for the security here, and the security in Sloan Manor.

Now that the chief officer of Heng'an Defense is giving him so much face, Li Xin cannot offend him.

Besides, Li Xin is just a small M2. Although he is Lu Quan's adjutant and his status is much higher than that of a normal M2, he is not at the level where he can show off his status casually.

Li Xin, wearing power armor, got out of the car. The black power armor was thinner than that of ordinary genetic warriors.

But it still looks very heavy when worn on the body, making Li Xin's posture more upright.

The dark red pauldrons on his shoulders were hung with a narrow dark blue cloak. As Li Xin moved forward, the cloak rose slightly.

A single-soldier power sword was mounted on the right side of Li Xin's waist. At this time, the power sword remained in an inactive state. The matte metal sword looked extremely cold under the sunlight.

Li Xin was not wearing a helmet. He was not bad looking to begin with, and after becoming a psychic, his body became stronger, making him even more heroic.

When Li Xin walked up to the Heng'an defense officer and the person in charge of Sloan Manor who came to greet him, these men couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:

“This is so cool!”

A man who is praised as handsome by women may not be truly handsome.

But if a man can make him feel handsome, then he is truly handsome!

Li Xin's eyes swept across the faces of the people who came to greet him, and he immediately found the two people who seemed to have the highest status.

One of them was wearing a smart suit, and the other was wearing the uniform of a senior officer from Hengan Defense.

The man in the uniform of a senior military officer was the first to extend his hand, a smile on his face: "Adjutant Li, I've heard of your name a long time ago. It's an honor to meet you today!"

"I'm Wu He, the adjutant of General Yin, the commander of the Heng'an Defense War Zone!"

"This is Cecil, the owner of Sloane Manor!"

Li Xin also showed a formal smile on his face and stretched out his hand: "Adjutant Wu, Mr. Cecil, I am Li Xin!"
