My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 670

Eagle and Hawk also relaxed, smiles spreading across their lips as they took in the sight of Sparrow—alive and well.

They had often heard updates from Keith about their master, the people around them, and the development of City B's base under Duke and Kisha's leadership.

Though they never questioned how Kisha managed to communicate with Keith, they were simply grateful for any news.

Now, seeing Sparrow standing before them, it felt like years had passed since their last meeting. Even from a distance, they could sense the sheer strength and power radiating from him.

It was undeniable—Sparrow had grown immensely, his presence commanding respect. Compared to him now, they almost felt as if they had been left in the dust.

"It's been a while..." Eagle nodded in approval as he studied Sparrow.

Behind him, the squad that had arrived consisted of Winters' men—survivors from different cities and regions who had endured countless hardships to reach the hidden base.

They, too, recognized Sparrow, and the tension in the air eased. Smiles spread across their faces, relief and camaraderie replacing the wariness from moments before.

They then began following a trail through the forest to reach Sparrow. It took them 20 minutes to navigate the path while maintaining their formation, carefully avoiding any hidden traps along the way.

Once they made their way around and finally stood in front of Sparrow, he and his team began opening the back door of the bus to exit safely. Sparrow was certain there were still landmines nearby, possibly even right beside the bus, and he wasn't willing to risk triggering any by mistake.

After opening the back door, Sparrow and his team locked eyes with Eagle and the others. He didn't allow anyone to disembark until Eagle gave the go-ahead. One of Eagle's men stepped forward with a metal detector, carefully scanning the area to pinpoint the exact positions of the landmines.

Only after the path was confirmed did Sparrow instruct his team to follow the narrow trail, ensuring everyone stepped precisely in the safe zones without triggering any explosives.

Once everyone safely disembarked from the bus and reached Eagle's side without any issues, Sparrow simply used his Whirlwind ability to propel himself upward, leaping effortlessly to join them in a single bound.

The man holding the metal detector scratched his head in disbelief—he had been waiting for Sparrow to exit the bus like everyone else, only to be left behind in an instant. With no other option, he sighed and made his way back on his own.

"Welcome back!" Eagle said, opening his arms wide for a hug.

Instead of accepting it, Sparrow gave him a deadpan look, his expression laced with disdain.

"Man, that was cringy. I swear, I felt my skin crawling with bugs..." He hugged his arms and scratched them a few times as if trying to shake off imaginary discomfort.

Eagle's face darkened, looking as black as the bottom of a scorched pot, which only made Sparrow burst into laughter. Before Eagle could retreat in frustration, Sparrow grabbed his hand, pulled him in, and gave him a firm, brotherly hug.

"It's been a while. I'm glad to see you all," Sparrow said, patting Eagle's back before turning to embrace Hawk and the rest of his brothers one by one.

After their brief reunion, the smiles quickly faded from their faces, replaced by a serious demeanor, as if their lighthearted exchange had never happened.
