My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 911

Chapter 911 -911 Limitations Of One’s Awakened Ability

Sparrow glanced at the STAU, who appeared weak, but then a thought struck him: another way to turn his ‘Space-Type Awakened Ability’ into an offensive weapon.

Judging by the corpses scattered around, it was clear they had died from a lack of oxygen. He recalled what the STAU had mentioned earlier: that his space lacked air and couldn’t sustain life.

He hadn’t considered it before, but perhaps the sudden disappearance of their enemies earlier was due to the STAU panicking.

Still, it seemed they had forgotten just how formidable their own teammates were. Aside from the newcomers, these were fighters who had stood alongside Kisha in far deadlier battles, against zombie hordes and mutated zombies, so reckless attacks from desperate enemies were unlikely to faze them much.

It was true Sparrow had been thrown into the air, but his ‘Whirlwind’ kept him unharmed. Although the enemy had managed to blow apart the ‘Earth Wall’ that was serving as their defensive line, but Vulture and Evelyn, both are like living tanks, still held the front.

Clyde and Reeve had stopped their attacks, not wanting to risk hitting their allies since their offensive abilities were mostly wide-range. Still, they trusted that once the enemy got close, they could switch to close combat, a skill that was hardly their weakness.

Meanwhile, Vulture was already preparing an ‘Earth Spike’, planning to turn the breach in his wall into a trap, drawing the enemy into one spot to finish them off in a single strike. But before he could execute it, the STAU panicked. It wasn’t entirely a bad thing, though, because in his panic, the STAU had also stumbled upon a way to protect himself from certain enemies.

They would no longer be as helpless as they once believed. If they wished, they could kill as many enemies as they wanted, and that thought was actually much scarier. Inside their Space, no living creature could survive; there was no air, and most would suffocate within minutes.

Their deaths would be as agonizing as drowning, and Sparrow had already witnessed it in the way the people on the ground perished.

After mulling over this for a moment, while the survivors were still too stunned to process what had happened, Sparrow barked sharply, “Now that we’ve dealt with the hostile forces, focus on the incoming zombies so we can leave ASAP!”

“Sir, yes sir!” came the unified reply as everyone regrouped and spread out once more to handle the zombie threat.

This time, they didn’t practice hand-to-hand combat. Instead, those with awakened abilities unleashed their powers to kill as many zombies as possible, while Vulture and Sparrow stayed behind once again.

Then, turning to the leader of the survivors from the warehouse, he asked with a sinister grin that could freeze the bravest heart, “Do you think I’m ruthless and cruel?”

The leader swallowed hard, a lump in his throat, before shaking his head. “Too much kindness only invites exploitation,” he replied after a pause. “It turns you into everyone’s doormat. Ruthlessness is necessary to keep people in line and disciplined.” 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

He spoke with the conviction of someone who had lived long enough to see the truth for himself. Over the years, he had endured betrayal, humiliation, and countless disappointments.

Experience had taught him that excessive kindness was nothing more than naïve optimism, the belief that kindness would always be repaid in kind. But human nature was not so pure.

Even the gentlest soul could turn vicious in an instant, especially when their own interests were at stake.

The leader believed that kindness was valuable, but ruthlessness had its place too—and only someone who had led others would truly understand the need to balance the two.

Hearing this, Sparrow’s smile widened. He turned his gaze back to the battle raging in the parking lot, where a horde of zombies had been drawn in. Yet he felt no worry, only the satisfaction of having stumbled upon an unexpected prize.

He hadn’t expected to find someone so interesting here. If he and his people hadn’t arrived in time, these survivors would likely have been killed or enslaved, and it would only have been a matter of time before they perished.

But this man, the leader of this group, was clear-headed, steadfast, and unafraid to voice his thoughts. He could see beyond any façade, and Sparrow knew his addition to their base would surely please the Young Madam.

With a smug smile, Sparrow gave his order.

“Take your people and load up those cars and trucks the fools brought here.”

He gestured toward the vehicles their earlier enemies had used to haul supplies from the supermarket, still parked in the middle of the lot.
