Section 219

Thinking of this, he stopped completely and hid in a rock crevice, using his limbs to support his body, breathing heavily...

The crazy panting filled the live broadcast room, which sounded very distressing.

The frost on the wind and snow goggles reflected the skylight, and the cold was overwhelming.

The black one-piece down jacket was covered with dirty snow.

The face in the camera was covered with dust.

The cracked lips kept spitting out desperate white air...

This was Lu Yu's current situation when he was at 8600 meters on the first step of Mount Everest!

With the increase in altitude, the oxygen content at 8600 meters was already negligible, and every breath consumed a huge amount of muscles throughout the body.

In order to save his energy, he did not speak.

He just gestured to the audience, indicating that he was fine and told them not to worry.

Knowing that Lu Yu was fine, the audience finally He heaved a sigh of relief.

After staying there for a long time, Lu Yu arranged the traction rope.

He stood up slowly, pulled out the ice pick, and climbed up more than one meter.

At this time, the rock wall of the second step finally appeared in front of him.

With a goal, there was no time to think about it.

He held the edge of the ice cliff with his hand, then swung the ice pick, chiseled it into the crack in the rock in front, and pulled himself up.

Lung.

It almost exploded.

After landing, Lu Yu panted on the ground for a while, wrapped the climbing rope around his arm bit by bit, and then pulled out the ice cone embedded in the ice layer below with all his strength.

The ice cone will be very useful on the snow slope from the third step to the top.

Don't throw it away until the critical moment.

Put away the climbing rope and stand up again.

In just a moment, 8 The oxygen-free environment at 600 meters made his heart skip a beat again.

The previous feeling of lungs being cut by a knife suddenly intensified.

For a few seconds, Lu Yu began to realize that his mind was becoming abstract.

Everything in front of him was distorted.

At this moment, he seemed to have become a narrow and panting lung floating above the clouds and mountains.

Stretching weakly and uneasily.

However, when he looked at the top of the world within reach, his physical and mental fatigue was swept away.

In his determined eyes, endless fighting spirit was ignited again.

Supported by his will, Lu Yu picked up the ice pick again, nailed it into the ice layer, and began to move towards the second step.

About fifteen minutes.

A nearly vertical cliff of about 6-8 meters suddenly came into view.

This place was once called a threshold to the summit of Mount Everest.

The height difference of the entire second step is about 20 meters.

It is divided into three sections.

On Earth, each section of the three rock walls is equipped with a metal ladder.

There are three metal ladders in total.

Among them, the last section around a vertical boulder is the most precipitous section of the three rock walls.

The height difference is about 8 meters.

The world-famous Huaxia Ladder once stood here.

In the previous life, in May 2008, the Huaxia Ladder, which had stood at an altitude of 8,700 meters on Mount Everest for 33 years, completed its historical mission.

It was taken back to Lhasa and stored in the Mount Everest Mountaineering Museum.

Unlike the prosperous scene in the previous life.

Mount Everest here is desolate.

There is no so-called mountaineering garbage.

There are no climbers' bodies everywhere.

There is no "traffic jam" on the three steps.

There is nothing else except myself who is alone.

Everything is in its most primitive state.

…

Coming alone to the rock wall, Lu Yu panted and took the first step towards the second step.

When climbing the second step, the most important thing is to maintain a good physical and mental state.

Avoid unstable ice.

Be careful and in place when operating safety equipment, and take slow and steady steps, and never rush.

Due to the altitude, the rock points here are in danger of collapse at any time.

One carelessness will put climbers in danger.

The rock formations in sight are typical marine formations.

The gray crystalline limestone has a very high quartz content and is very hard. It is difficult to cut into it with an ice axe, and it can only be climbed with the help of natural cracks.

Fortunately, although the rock wall is almost vertical, it is full of gullies and there are many small rock points for grasping.

Glancing at the data on the body assessment detector, Lu Yu tried his best to restrain the negative emotions caused by lack of oxygen and tried to calm himself down.

The next second, he put the ice axe on his waist, reached out to grab a crack in the rock, and walked slowly up.

The rock point is very smooth, and it takes a lot of effort to hold it.

It is worth mentioning that the first section of the rock wall is not difficult to climb, even without a metal ladder, you can climb up.

It just takes more time.

The most difficult part is not here.

It is the huge rock standing in the middle of the second section of the rock wall!

There is a nearly two-meter-long hollow area between the huge rock and the location where the Chinese ladder is set up. Below is a gravel slope with a slope greater than 45 degrees, and the end is hidden in the sea of ​​clouds.

Even if you can't see it clearly, your heart is as clear as a mirror.

Although it is the end of the sight.

But below it, there is an abyss of more than 8,000 meters!

…

It is almost impossible to conquer this kind of place head-on without a metal ladder.

You can only "take a different approach"!

Walking slowly to the second rock wall, Lu Yu stood on a platform under the boulder, hesitated for a long time, and then pulled out the ice spike, and then arranged insurance according to the current terrain.

Looking around, because there was no ice layer nearby, the ice spike was temporarily unusable.

The only insurance method was to use a climbing rope to tie a few rock points and make a simple ascending rope.

After several twists and turns, after searching around, he found several broken rock cracks on the side of the boulder, which just caught the rope.

But because the diameter of the boulder was too large, a piece of rope was difficult to do.

So, he had to take another section and connect it with a bone-shaped safety buckle.

Soon, everything was ready. Lu Yu gestured to the audience, and then began his almost crazy climbing plan!

Standing on the platform, he took off his backpack and tied it to the rope to reduce his weight.

Then, he reserved nearly three meters of rope.

At this time, the live broadcast room suddenly became agitated.

Seeing Lu Yu's posture, the audience felt that something was wrong and frequently sent barrages:

"What is this for?!"

"Yu Shen, wait a minute!"

"Are you going to jump over?"

"What?! Jump over?"

"Are you going to be a degenerate again?"

"Ten thousand people signed in blood, begging the anchor to be a human being!"

"Yu Shen, stay calm, don't waste time!"

...

Looking at the barrage, Lu Yu did not speak.

There was no expression either!

The next second, while everyone was not paying attention, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, and instantly launched his body out and jumped up!

Whoosh!
