However, as the leader of this mission, Ling Liang quickly calmed down after a brief period of excitement.
Their research vessel certainly cannot take away all the wealth. The first thing to do now is to classify and register all the property as soon as possible, calculate the final data, and then contact the relevant departments to deal with it.
Of course, as a key member of the Finance Department with decades of experience, he is naturally familiar with handling such matters.
After making all the calculations, Ling Liang waved his hand and led his men back.
In order to sort out the data as quickly as possible, Ling Liang took everyone to camp at the edge of the cave for the next few days. The survey team had too few people, so Wen Xi and others, including most of the crew members, were asked to help. Everyone worked day and night to count and make lists.
Only the captain and the cook were left on the ship, and Cheng Ruolin volunteered to deliver meals and daily necessities to everyone every day.
At first, she brought Xue Ziqi to deliver meals three times a day. She was very considerate and stayed away from the cave entrance. She would put down the meals and leave without saying anything.
Ling Liang then stopped avoiding suspicion and understood that it was too hard for them to deliver meals back and forth every day, so he simply asked the chef on the ship to bring the food needed for a few days and asked them to help prepare the meals.
Cheng Ruolin readily agreed and took Xue Ziqi with her to help the chef.
Three days later, the arduous inventory task was finally completed.
After several days of high-intensity work, everyone was exhausted. As soon as they came out of the cave, they smelled the smell of food in the air.
"It smells so good! What delicious food have you cooked today, chefs?"
Lian Li sniffed hard and walked towards the makeshift stove with her empty stomach.
Cheng Ruolin smiled and said, "Chef Wu said that to celebrate your success, we'll have a good meal today. Are you starving? Have a bowl of soup first, and the meal will be ready soon."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Cheng Ruolin kept working and continued to make soup for the people behind her.
Lian Li took the steaming soup, put her mouth to the edge of the bowl and blew on it twice. Just as she was about to drink it, Xiao Ba, who had been napping on Wen Xi's shoulder, sniffed it, suddenly opened his round eyes, and pounced on Lian Li.
Lian Li, who was about to drink the soup, was so frightened that her hand shook, and the soup bowl fell to the ground with a "clang" and shattered, and the juice splashed all over her.
"What are you doing!" Lian Li shouted at Wen Xi, holding up her wet trouser leg. "You keep a pet and not take good care of it, and then you let it out to cause trouble. Wen Xi, do you have any sense of public morality?"
Wen Xi raised his eyebrows.
Xiaoba has always been sensible and never provokes others without her permission.
What's more, it seemed as if it knew it was about to part with her these past few days, and it had been silently staying by her side and being very well-behaved. Why would it do such a thing for no reason?
It doesn't make sense that it was hungry and wanted to snatch food from Lian Li, because it never eats human food.
"Alright, Lian Li, it's just a bowl of soup. You're such a grown-up, and you're still fussing over a small animal? Here, I'll give you my portion."
Lian Yan said this and handed what he had in his hand to his sister.
"But……"
Lian Li wanted to say something else, but Ling Liang interrupted her: "Alright, it's getting late, so stop talking. After dinner, everyone should organize the data on hand and rest early. We will return to the ship early tomorrow morning to prepare for the return voyage."
If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, Ling Liang really wanted to leave the camp right away. However, he looked at the elderly Professor Gou and was afraid of any unexpected events, so he finally suppressed the idea.
There is no rush. We will return to the ship early tomorrow morning and report the data to the higher-ups using the ship's communicator.
