Everyone first went to wash and change clothes; after returning from the forest, the first thing to do was to take a bath and change clothes. This was mandatory, and they also needed to go through several procedures of disinfection to avoid bringing back insect eggs, mutant plant seeds, or pollen to the base, so disinfection was essential and could not be omitted.
After washing and changing their clothes, Li Pan then went to the cafeteria. Everyone was hungry. The chef had prepared delicious, steaming meals that restored everyone's stomachs and soothed their spirits.
The cafeteria was occupied only by their group, the Base Commander, and the chef. Everyone else was out working.
"Uncle, I brought back quite a few good items this time. I will tell you about them one by one."
"No rush. First, eat your fill, and then we can talk. Everything's brought back, so there's no hurry."
