Wu Guohui, the leader of the Chinese team, had no choice, he was worried that the forced opposition would cause unfriendly feelings among the team members on both sides and affect the progress of the scientific expedition, so he could only agree to let Holden lead a team member to go down to the bottom of the sinkhole by abseiling to make preliminary observations.

On the basis of many Sino-British cooperation, Wu Guohui asked the members of the advance team to tell Holden in detail about the situation at the bottom of the pit, saying that after descending 1,500 meters, they reached a platform of about 2,000 square meters, which was not only overgrown with various plants whose names were not known, but also grew a hemipteran insect, which was blood-red, with a flat body, well-developed compound eyes, and a size about the size of a thumb, which seemed to be aggressive, but did not know whether there were toxins.

Holden listened to the advice of the advance team members, found someone among the British team members, and accompanied him to descend to the bottom of the 1,500-meter sinkhole.

According to Holden's notes, after going down, it was getting dark, and he asked his teammates to turn on the bright spotlights to illuminate the platform, while he himself walked into the center of the platform overgrown with plants to investigate further. Holden described the lush, green vegetation at the bottom of the sinkhole, and a wide variety of plants, although Holden studied biology and had a wealth of experience in outdoor adventures, many of the plants here he had never seen before. One of the most distributed four-petaled flowering plants, faintly overgrown on the platform, looks like a large white expanse, in the West, white represents holiness, purity, is a wonderful gift from God to mankind, but he did not understand at the time, in China, white symbolizes death.

Holden leaned down and used a magnifying glass to take a closer look at the petals, and he was surprised to find that the structure of the white flower was very different from the outside world, and it was a completely new species. Holden was very excited and was about to wave and cheer on the team, but at this time, he found that his teammate, Dr. Smith, suddenly fell to the ground and passed out for some reason.

Holden was not panicked at the time, thinking that it might be that the altitude was too low, and the composition of oxygen was very different from the outside world, causing Dr. Smith to be mildly unconscious, he retracted his magnifying glass, strode back, and administered temporary first aid to Dr. Smith according to the rescue methods he knew.

Sure enough, Dr. Smith quickly woke up from his fainting, staring at Holden with a glazed look and a slightly unusual demeanor. The leader of the Holden team was very alert and immediately asked Dr. Smith if it was fainting due to lack of oxygen, but Dr. Smith did not answer, and pointed to the vast flowers for Holden to see. Holden was very confused, so he turned his head, but at this moment, Dr. Smith's face suddenly changed, and he picked up a rock from the ground and slammed it at Holden.

Team leader Holden had no idea that his team would suddenly attack, he couldn't guard against it, and he felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fainted. When he woke up again, he was already in a tent, and the Chinese team leader next to him, Wu Guohui, was looking at him with anxiety, and Holden felt a sharp pain from the wound on the back of his head, and he couldn't understand why his teammate Dr. Smith would attack him unusually. Holden hurriedly asked Wu Guohui about the situation, and the latter told the truth what happened after he fell unconscious.

It turned out that almost at the same time that Haldon's leader was attacked, the same bizarre attack took place in the camp located at the top of the sinkhole. Without warning, a member of the Chinese advance team suddenly attacked another team member and stabbed the member in the thigh with a multi-purpose knife, but fortunately they detected it in time and controlled the further deterioration of the situation in the first place.

Although this incident was quite bizarre, Wu Guohui immediately realized that the advance team member who had lost his mind had been to the bottom of the sinkhole, and he suspected that the problem might be there. Wu Guohui was worried about the safety of Holden, an international friend, and hurriedly went down to the bottom of the sinkhole with several team members at the same time, but was surprised to find that Holden was unconscious in the bushes and was attacked by an unknown person, while Dr. Smith had disappeared without a trace.

As soon as Holden heard that his teammates were missing, he was so anxious that he immediately got up, and asked Wu Guohui to organize personnel to search and rescue. Wu Guohui held him down and warned him not to be impatient, the Chinese medical staff were conducting medical research on the team member who had lost his mind, and before the truth of the matter was clarified, he must be responsible for the safety of everyone, and he would take on the task of search and rescue himself, and form a temporary search and rescue team with several investigators to go into the depths of the cave to find Dr. Smith, and let Holden stay in the camp on the platform for the time being, and recover from his injuries.

Holden acted more rationally, he knew that although he was eager to save people, but with his current physical condition, he was not suitable to participate in the rescue plan, Wu Guohui led the team to make the most correct decision, he had to endure his temperament, waiting for the response of the rescue team.

Soon, a day passed, and the rescue team sent out, including Wu Guohui, still did not hear from him. Holden has participated in many cave expeditions over the years, and has seen all kinds of sinkholes and subsidences, but he has never encountered such an incredible incident, he told Sun Wu, the deputy leader of the Chinese team in charge of the camp, that if there is no news of Captain Wu and their return, the whole team must be dispatched immediately to conduct a carpet search for the cave at the bottom of the sinkhole. In this case, time is of the essence.

Sun Wu, the deputy team leader, realized the seriousness of the situation and did not dare to slack off, so he immediately gathered the whole team and asked them to pack up their equipment and supplies, except for leaving four people to guard the camp to take care of the wounded, everyone else had to participate in this operation.

Sun Wu didn't plan to take Holden in because he was injured and didn't make it appropriate for him to take such an adventure, but Holden was very resolute and told Sun Wu that this matter might not be as simple as we thought, and that there might be an isolated ecosystem in this sinkhole, and the whole team needed his experience and skills, so he had to participate in this operation anyway.

Sun Wu hesitated, in many joint investigation operations, Captain Wu has always been his backbone, every time he encounters any unexpected situation, Captain Wu can rely on his experience and rich knowledge reserves, every time the evil turns into good, but this time, lost the leader of Wu Guohui, the deputy captain Sun Wu took charge for the first time, and encountered such a thorny problem, and was helpless for a while. Since Team Leader Holden took the initiative to stand up and take on this important responsibility, then, everyone present, I am afraid that there is no second person who is more suitable for this position.

However, just as they were ready to go, a team doctor who stayed behind to guard the camp found a very important clue in the team member who had lost his mind.
