When they saw Sparrow's truck hurtling forward at top speed, panic rippled through the guards. They scrambled to contact the gatekeeper, urgently ordering the gates to be opened.
Meanwhile, someone atop the wall frantically waved their hands, desperately trying to get Sparrow's attention to slow down.
It was only when Sparrow noticed the soldiers atop the wall signaling for him to slow down that his fear-stricken heart began to calm. He quickly grabbed the radio and contacted the other trucks, relaying the message.
"Slow down, the soldiers are opening the gate for us," Sparrow said, his voice hoarse and strained. The worry in his tone was unmistakable, but there was also a sense of relief.
Seeing someone alive inside the base had eased his fears, and the rest of the drivers, equally anxious, silently followed suit, slowing down and trailing behind Sparrow's truck.
