When Saraid eyes on the situation unfolding before her, a surge of anger erupted within her, prompting her to exim, “With so many helicopters under inspection, when will we be found?!”
The pilot, feeling powerless, responded, “I… my subordinates can’t provide any information…”
Sara felt an overwhelming urge to leap from the helicopter and unleash her fury on everyone below, believing it might ease the turmoil churning inside her.
Yet, she was acutely aware that such an action would likely plunge her into a bottomless pit of destruction, even if she managed to escape physically unharmed.
Moreover, she noticed four NYPD helicopters stationed at the corners of the apron below. Alongside these police choppers stood at least twenty SWAT officers, fully armed and ready for action.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
What made the situation even more daunting was the presence of an Apache helicopter from the New York State National Guard at each side of the field. These Apaches were armed with Sea Snake 70mm rockets and Hellfire missiles, boasting firepower that rivaled some of the most formidable Soviet-made weaponry.
Adjacent to these heavily armed helicopters were more than a dozen soldiers, fully equipped and prepared for any scenario.
Upon seeing this overwhelming show of force, Sara recognized that attempting to resist or escape was utterly futile.
Given the firepower arrayed against her, even if she survived the encounter, the consequences would be dire.
Furthermore, the New York State National Guard possessed far more than just these two helicopters. In the event of an emergency, F35s could easily be deployed within minutes.
After all, even the Vermont National Guard had transitioned to F35s, so it was reasonable to assume that the New York National Guard had ess to even more advanced weaponry.
They even had F22s and B2 stealth bombers at their disposal. Whilemand authorityy with the US military, the equipment itself was under the purview of the National Guard.
Essentially, if the United States were to break its ties with Qinghui, there would be no need for federal military intervention; the National Guard from any state could decisively act against Qinghui’s base.
Just as Sara was trying to convince herself to ept her circumstances, a voice crackled over the radio: “n77dt, please proceed tond on the 14th apron immediately. Police officers are present to guide yournding. Please note that the ground is equipped with aprehensive surveince system. All windows must remain closed duringnding, and no one is permitted to open them. Once on the ground, no one is allowed to exit the helicopter until inspections arepleted and confirmed safe. This is crucial for the homnd security of the United States. Your cooperation is appreciated. Any dangerous behavior may prompt the NYPD and the New York State National Guard to take preemptive measures. Thank you for your understanding.”
Sara clenched her fists in frustration, struggling to maintain a semnce of rationality amidst her copsingposure.
Reluctantly, the pilotplied with the directives, gradually descending the helicopter onto the 14th apron.
Before the helicopter even touched down, armed soldiers were already prepared and waiting nearby. Once the helicopter came to a halt, they swiftly sealed all doors and windows with heavy-duty tape to prevent anyone inside from taking advantage of the situation to discard anything or draw a weapon.
Witnessing this, Sara immediately protested, “Aren’t you going to conduct a search? Why seal us in? What purpose does this serve?!”
One soldier replied, “We have over ten helicopters ahead of you waiting for inspection. You’ll be allowed to disembark once it’s your turn.”
Sara’s frustration boiled over as she shot back, “This is absurd! My time is valuable. Why should I wait here while you inspect each aircraft one by one?!”<fn8314> This update is avable on fin?novel</fn8314>
The soldier, disying the assault rifle strapped to his chest, coldly stated, “This is a matter of national security, and everyone mustply without question! If you have any objections, we can arrange aplimentary venue for you to calm down for 24 hours!”
