After a long tour, the two returned to the place where they were making their IDs, with half an hour to spare, so they decided to wait there to avoid going out and missing something important due to a lengthy absence.
The staff glanced at them a few times but did not speak to them again, continuing with their work.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng noticed that here, regardless of the position, everyone needed to make new cards and record their fingerprints. This was likely a secondary confirmation and protection of identities by the base, as, after the apocalypse, appearances had drastically changed, and without internet, it was hard to verify if an ID card truly belonged to the holder.
But getting another ID card made at the base meant their identity within the base was absolutely authentic, verified with fingerprints, ensuring the base's security.
After a while, the cards were ready, and the staff called them over to collect them.
