At one point, Sara felt a fierce urge to slice through the soldier’s neck with a swift motion, then dash all the way to Burlington.


    However, her rational mind quickly brought her back to reality.


    In this situation, it was nearly impossible to evade the scrutiny of the guards.


    While she could potentially carve a bloody path, it was highly likely that dozens of armed helicopters would swarm in response, leaving her to flee for her life. How would she ever have the chance to locate the Sifang Treasure Tower then?


    At that moment, another roar filled the sky.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Arge Bell civilian helicopter gradually descended andnded in the space behind Sara.


    Outside the cabin, several soldiers immediately split up their tasks; one remained to guard the helicopter Sara was in, while the others went to the nextnding pad to block the iing helicopter, following the same procedure as Sara’s.


    The soldier stationed outside the cabin used the walkie-talkie on his shoulder tomunicate: “We need additional manpower here. The pace of operations is too sluggish. On average, three new helicopters arrive for every one we inspect.”


    The response from the walkie-talkie was clear: “Four Chinooks and four Apaches from the Third Squadron have now arrived in New York for support. They should be here in about twenty minutes. The Massachusetts National Guard is also on standby, ready to assist at any moment. It’s fine if your operation speed is slow. Just ensure those people remain in the helicopters. As long as they don’t exit or escape before inspection, the wait time doesn’t matter.”


    The soldier was taken aback and asked, “Isn’t the New York State National Guard sufficient? Do we really need help from Massachusetts?”


    The walkie-talkie replied: “We received reliable information minutes ago indicating that someone is attempting to steal national defense secrets and flee the country. Right now, we are forcing them to return. The Department of Homnd Security has assessed that if the ne ispelled toe back to the United States, the other party may assemble armed personnel to seize it. Therefore, we need to mobilize a significant number of reinforcements to prevent any mishaps.”


    The other party continued, “This situation is indeed quite loud. Everyone should brace themselves. Furthermore, the Rothschild family’s technical team has begun training artificial intelligence to handle inspections. Once trained, efficiency will see a significant boost.”


    The soldier could only respond, “I hope they speed things up.”


    Sara listened intently to their exchange and suddenly realized she might have made a grave mistake.


    Had she known the Rothschild family had secured New York so tightly, she wouldn’t have allowed the situation to escte so dramatically.


    Now, it seemed she was stuck in New York for the foreseeable future. With the enemy continuously bolstering their defenses, even if she had a thousand dead soldiers at her disposal, it likely wouldn’t be enough to ovee the National Guard’s defenses.


    With this thought in mind, she resolved to see if there was a way to escape.


    While helicopters within New York couldn’t fly out, it didn’t mean those from outside were restricted in the same manner. As long as she could make her way out, she would contact Wu Yongzhen, the Grand Governor of the Left Army Governor’s Mansion, to arrange helicopters from other locations to wait outside New York. She intended to use them to swiftly bypass the blockade and reach her destination.


    With her n in ce, Sara immediately harnessed her spiritual energy to influence both the helicopter pilot and the soldier outside.


    She leaned out the window and asked the soldier, “Is there any way you can get me out of here right now?”<fn7880> Original content can be found at </fn7880>


    The soldier shook his head: “Ourmanding officer has strict regtions. Any helicopters and individuals arriving here for inspection must undergo a thorough check. Only after a rigorous inspection and confirmation from at least three soldiers can the helicopter and its passengers leave.”


    Sara clenched her teeth and asked, “If I ask your inspecting soldiers to let me go, would that work?”


    “No,” the soldier replied. “We’re not alone in this; the NYPD and the Rothschild family’s representatives are also involved. They require that inspections proceed in order. When it’s a helicopter’s turn for inspection, they’ll send representatives, and our soldiers will encircle the helicopter with professional equipment to carry out a meticulous check.”


    Sara hadn’t anticipated that the situation was moreplicated than she had imagined. She couldn’t help but ask, “Can you inspect my helicopter first? After that, will you let me leave?”


    The soldier shook his head without hesitation: “No, because there are rules against jumping the queue. Inspections must ur in the order of arrival, and this order is monitored by three different parties. Other helicopters in line will also be observing, making it impossible for anyone to bypass the queue.”


    Frustrated, Sara pressed, “Is there any way I can sneak away quietly from here?”
