Deciding exactly which four people to awaken was something Wang Tao needed to deliberate on, but one thing was certain—those with higher combat abilities would be prioritized for awakening.
However, Wang Tao did not have many Level 4 Ascension Crystal Cores on hand, only a total of 9. It was impossible to raise everyone's abilities to Level 4. Therefore, he decided not to distribute them yet and would wait until he had selected the individuals for Awakening before giving out the crystal cores to those in need.
Wang Tao brought this up now to give everyone a heads up. After all, they were a team, and it was important that they be aware of the strategic resources he held.
"Okay!"
The crowd nodded in anticipation.

The clearance operations outside had continued from the afternoon into the night.
There was both good news and bad news.
