Chapter 649: Not on my watch.
Going with her plan, the unconscious man was strapped on to Muyang’s back and they left the weapons factory walking steadily. The load on his back did not slow him down even once, and he kept up with her speed.
Soldiers were littered all over the compound like ants on a mission. They foraged every corner of the place that was accessible and carried out or looted, in her opinion everything that was of value. When they finished their final checks, the building would be set on fire.

She heard loud noises and when she looked up at the sky, helicopters were landing on the island, directly above the crater where the space ship sat.
"Hmph, they were certainly quick about it." She said to herself.
"They have to be." Muyang who heard her said. "They need to make it disappear as quickly as possible and bury it as deep as possible before tearing it apart piece by piece. Before the night ends, a team will have been assembled to secretly start studying the ship."
"So what happens to my plan to air a story about the paintings in the cave? I am pretty sure that they are going to blow it up as soon as they take what they want." Would it be as it always was, she would be requested to cover up the story.

It’s even possible that a portion of the wall will be dismantled or carved and carried away for further research. But, don’t worry about your story, I will negotiate and ensure that you air it."
