Charles was even more shocked. He had thought that David’s power would be at most Level 5. He didn’t expect him to have already reached Level 7. In the current world, this level was considered that of a strong individual. Charles couldn’t help but nod secretly in acknowledgment of David’s strength.

In response to the surprise and inquiries from the others, David just smiled faintly and didn’t explain too much. After all, the existence of the system was too mysterious.

However, the others still shook their heads in disbelief, unable to fully believe that all of this was real. After all, the advancement of an Awakened’s level was extremely difficult. Besides requiring a sufficient number of crystals, one also needed to have enough combat potential. Both were indispensable. So, some Awakened individuals remained at Level 1 for many years after awakening their abilities. Some even passed away without any progress in their level. From their perspective, upgrading seemed as commonplace as eating for David.

After a pause, Charles suddenly asked, “By the way, what’s our team’s name?”

Upon hearing Charles’ question, everyone realized that they hadn’t given their team a name yet.

“Let’s call ourselves ‘Berserkers’! The Berserkers who sweep everything!” Arnold struck a pose of a charging werewolf as he suggested.

“Oh, that name is so common!” Sophie glanced at Arnold disdainfully and said, “How about something else?” This made Arnold a bit embarrassed as he scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

David also forgot about this matter. Usually, when establishing their own team, they would have a resounding name. It would not only enhance the team’s aura but also instill fear in their enemies. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before looking up at everyone and saying, “How about we call our team ‘Embers’?”

“Embers?” Hearing David suggest this name, everyone hesitated for a moment.

“Yes! Let’s say we are the remnants of the embers in this world. Although our power is weak, one day we will become a blazing flame with this feeble strength!” David quickly explained the meaning behind the name.

“Become a blazing flame… I like it! This name is better than ‘Berserkers,’ right?” It’s profound and sounds good! I love it!” Everyone quickly accepted the name for their team.

Charles also contemplated the name quietly, and a surge of emotions rose within him. Just ten minutes ago, he was just a speck of ember in this world. But now, this speck of ember had encountered a torch. It made his life feel more meaningful.

After deciding on the team name, everyone led Charles into the base. Since the base was a three-bedroom house, David temporarily cleared the storage room, added a spare bed and some daily necessities, and used it as Charles’ temporary bedroom.

“I apologize for making you adjust for now. I will find a better solution for you in a few days,” David said somewhat apologetically, but Charles didn’t mind at all. For him, having a place to sleep in this world was already enough.

At this moment, Little Black and Cola seemed to sense the arrival of a new teammate and immediately ran out of the bedroom. They approached Charles, sniffed him to remember his scent, and then wagged their tails at him.Looking at these two little animals, Charles also felt a warm sensation in his heart..

And so, David’s team went from the initial five members to six. This was a significant progress for David. After he left Charles’ room, the voice of the system rang in his ears.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting new members, reaching a team size of six! 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

Ding! Congratulations to the host for naming the team!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the initial team building goals!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a system reward – Escape Mist Fruit x1

Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a hundred-fold critical hit and obtaining 100 Escape Mist Fruits.

“What is an Escape Mist Fruit?” Curious about the system’s announcement, David asked.

The voice of the system explained again in his ears.

The host can throw this fruit to create a mist when in danger, obscuring the enemy’s vision and allowing for escape.

The mist lasts for one minute.

During this minute, the mist can block any enemy attacks from all directions.

Note: The mist only obstructs the enemy’s vision and attacks, it has no effect on the host.

Listening to the system’s explanation, David silently nodded. The function of the Escape Mist Fruit was similar to that of a smoke bomb. However, what made it different was that it could block the enemy’s attacks, any attack to be exact. It meant that any abilities from other Awakened individuals would be ineffective against the mist.

With this in mind, David felt that the Escape Mist Fruit was quite powerful. Not only could it help with escape, but it could also provide defense. If he launched an attack from within the mist against enemies, it would truly combine offense and defense.

Satisfied with the thought, David nodded and placed one hundred Escape Mist Fruits in the storage room. He then went to the underground parking lot and looked at the rows of vehicles before him. Suddenly, a bold idea arose in his mind. He wanted to utilize the resources he had to turn these cars into invincible doomsday war machines.

Through the battle with the Titan Zombie, he had realized the importance of mobility for their team. Without convenient transportation, their efficiency and timing in attacks would be severely affected. They might even be unable to escape in critical moments. Therefore, he decided to create a doomsday car fleet specifically for their team.

David started searching in the parking lot. It didn’t take long for him to select six vehicles: three off-road vehicles, one pickup truck, and two Porsche sports cars. One of the off-road vehicles was the one he had previously made some initial modifications to.

David planned to transform them into fully equipped vanguard assault vehicles. The remaining two vehicles were specifically chosen for Arnold and Duke. As for the pickup truck, it was the one Charles had initially wanted to “borrow.”

David intended to transform it into a resource rescue vehicle that could store supplies and provide rescue for stranded vehicles. The two Porsche sports cars were chosen for Sally and Sophie, as they were the fastest. If any danger occurred, they would have the most timely means of escape.

Three assault vehicles, one resource rescue vehicle, and two escape vehicles. David looked at these six cars with satisfaction and nodded. He then started taking out various tools and materials from the storage room to begin the modifications. David believed that with this car fleet, the combat effectiveness of their team would greatly improve.
