As Sara felt her anxiety grow, the efficiency of the line before her seemed to dwindle even more.
After an hour of waiting, it was finally her moment to inspect the helicopter she was about to board.
At the soldiers’ request, Sara, Jadiel, and the pilots disembarked from the aircraft for thorough body searches. Numerous specialists equipped with professional testing tools meticulously examined every inch of the helicopter, leaving no part unchecked, not even the fuel tank. However, to detect the internal structure and confirm whether the Sifang Treasure Building was concealed inside, specialized equipment was necessary.
Once all inspections werepleted sessfully, Sara’s helicopter was cleared for takeoff.
The helicopter ascended to the designated altitude as per air traffic control protocols, and then, driven by Sara’s almost frantic urging, sped towards the target airport.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Half an hourter, the pilot of the Gulfstream G650, nked closely by two F35s, nervously prepared for thending.
As the ne aligned with the runway, both pilots experienced a surge of panic.<fn118c> Latest content published on find[?]ovel</fn118c>
Despite theirbined civil aviation experience of over ten years, this was their first encounter flying alongside military fighter jets.
The two anxious pilots sessfullynded the aircraft. As they slowed down, the two armed helicopters lifted off, maintaining an altitude of about ten meters above the ne as they exited the runway, following protocol.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homnd Security was facing a significant threat. As the ne returned, their concerns shifted from potential leaks of national defense secrets to fears that the pilots might take drastic measures.
Fortunately, the pilots acted with integrity. They followed orders and parked the ne carefully in the hangar. Once the engines were off, specialized personnel immediately secured the aircraft’s tires with professional equipment, ensuring that even if the pilots attempted to escape, the ne would be immobilized.
Shortly after, dozens of armed special forces surrounded the aircraft. Themanding officer radioed the crew: “On behalf of the Department of Homnd Security, I require all personnel on board to proceed to the hatch immediately. Once the hatch opens, everyone must raise your hands behind your head and exit in an orderly manner. Failure toply will result in extreme measures.”
Without hesitation, the crew members quickly opened the door and stepped off the aircraft, hands raised inpliance.
The special forces, who had been on standby, swiftly took control of the crew, conducting thorough body searches. Simultaneously, additional agents boarded the ne to carry out meticulous inspections.
Given the vague nature of the report, which only referenced national defense secrets without detailing the items or their sizes, the person in charge braced for a lengthy investigation. He instructed personnel to begin interrogating the crew while coordinating with agents and maintenance staff to identify anything that deviated from the aircraft’s original configuration using professional testing equipment and blueprints.
They anticipated this process would take at least three days toplete.
By the time Sara arrived at the designated location—only three kilometers from the airport—the agents were still halfway through inspecting the cockpit.
Upon her arrival, Sara immediately instructed Jadiel to inquire with the scouts about any sightings of individuals or vehicles leaving the small airport. The response was negative.
This revtion brought Sara a sense of relief.
The absence of any departures from the airport indicated that as long as the Sifang Baozhuang remained on that ne, it must still be within the airport’s confines.
With this assurance, she released a significant portion of her spiritual energy, allowing it to permeate the entire airport as she searched for any signs rted to the magical weapon.
What Sara didn’t realize was that Charlie Wade had already been informed the moment her helicopter touched down.
He promptly sent a message to Lin Wan’er, stating, “It’s ready to be broadcast!”
