“Please organize the manpower to dig this hole. It just needs to be wide enough for one person to pass through,” Ethan commanded. After three hours of effort, a hole wide enough for everyone to go through was finally opened. In the darkness, they could only see at bottomless cave. Ethan led the way, with his team following behind. At that moment, the confidence of the rescue team grew stronger. Ethan was like an alpha wolf, becoming everyone’s hope and reliance.

They didn’t know how far they had walked in the darkness when they encountered another obstacle.
