Section 222

With the help of ice picks and ice spikes, Lu Yu was getting closer and closer to the top.

But at the same time, his physical strength was consumed very quickly.

In order to maintain the rhythm, he would make necessary adjustments every time he climbed up a section.

Sometimes, he would change the support point of flagging to his knees.

Sometimes, he would use the friction of the one-piece down jacket to rest his whole leg on the rock wall.

The third section of the rock wall is only about 8 meters long.

If it were on the plain, an 8-meter-high rock wall could be climbed in the blink of an eye.

But here, although it has been half an hour, only two-thirds of the journey has been completed.

The top is always tempting you in front of you.

But you can only look at it eagerly.

It is out of reach.

The long-term cleaning of the rock points made Lu Yu's arms very sore.

Every time he swung the ice pick, the numbness and swelling in his elbow would be infinitely magnified.

The muscles of the whole arm were buzzing.

The only good news is that at the end of the second step, the mixture of rock and snow turned into a thick layer of ice.

The advantage is that you don't have to worry about the rock cracks buried in the ice and snow.

As long as you drive the ice spike into the ice layer, you can save a lot of effort.

Victory is just around the corner.

But in order to avoid failure, Lu Yu is still very careful.

He struggled in his heart.

He was meticulous.

While cleaning the rock points, he continued to plan the climbing route until the ice layer at the end became completely thick. He then used all his strength to drive the ice spike, hung the climbing rope, and breathed a sigh of relief.

With a fixed point, the center of gravity is stable.

Without any worries, Lu Yu threw out the ice pick and split into the ice layer, and then kicked the ice again with his front teeth. It only took half a minute to turn over and fall on the ridge covered with ice and snow.

In the sight, the peak suddenly appeared.

It was almost within reach.

As long as you cross the ridge of the third step and climb over the snow slope in front of you, 8844 is within reach!

"Fuck! I climbed up!"

"6666!"

"With a twitch in my body, everything became boring!"

"Amazing physical strength!"

"Yu Shen is really cruel to himself, never disappointing!"

"I saw the peak!"

"Yu Shen is awesome!"

Accompanied by violent panting, the wisps of blue clouds on the peak changed rapidly in the audience's sight.

Sometimes rolling and sometimes spreading.

Sometimes thick and sometimes thin.

Efficient and elegant.

The hazy mountain top.

The rock formations are angular, the lines are hard, and they are majestic without anger.

The blue sky is close at hand.

Face to face with the climbers lying on the snow without any hesitation.

Looking from a distance.

Everything seems to be easy to do...

Three or five minutes later, after a brief adjustment, Lu Yu supported his body with his arms and slowly climbed up from the snow.

The next second, when he raised his head and chest, the cold air suddenly hit him, entering his nose and throat.

Cold and dry.

Trying to calm his breathing, he lowered his head and glanced at the mountaineering watch on his wrist.

Every data on the dial made his heart tremble unconsciously.

Altitude: 8720 meters.

Temperature: -21.

Wind speed: 15 meters/second.

…

Approaching the summit.

The low pressure at high altitude makes people extremely uncomfortable.

Every time he gasps, his heart and lungs seem to be melted.

After finally finding the rhythm of breathing, Lu Yu decisively pushed open the snow goggles, pointed to a section of rock belt that twisted upwards on the northeast ridge in the distance, and said:

"Go up from the third step, and after another 8,800-meter crosscut, you will see a snow slope. The terrain is not steep. Just walk 50 meters along the snow slope and the summit will not be far away."

"Compared with the first two steps, the third step is the highest step in the three steps on the north slope of Mount Everest. Except for the additional difficulty of the altitude, it will not be too difficult for me. As long as I pay more attention, it should not be difficult to pass."

After the voice fell, Lu Yu took a meaningful look at the summit, dragging his seemingly tired but excited figure, and gradually walked away in the camera.

Only a row of scattered footprints were left.

Mountain climbing is a process of continuous upward movement.

With the increase of altitude and latitude, the feeling is also very different.

All the way, every meter up, the audience will be excited.

In the face of everyone's pessimism, under the obstruction of the top of the earth, and in the state of his body approaching the limit, Lu Yu walked from 8,000 meters to 8,700 meters!

He broke too many impossibilities...

Even every step overturned the view of this snow mountain on humans.

It made the proud Mount Everest feel like it was facing a formidable enemy!

While walking, an audience in the live broadcast room asked Lu Yu how he felt now.

At present, this is also the most concerned issue for many people.

After all, the altitude is different from before.

Panting, Lu Yu said while walking on the steep rocks: "It feels the same."

"Lack of oxygen, fatigue, low temperature, heart and lungs swelled so much that it seemed like it would explode at any time."

"Fortunately, my consciousness is still clear, and my logical thinking is not as bad as I imagined. Everything is still within a controllable range..."

As he spoke, he walked through the rock belt of the third step, and the terrain in front suddenly changed.

The piled rocks changed their trend and shrank sharply, becoming extremely narrow and long, extending all the way to the 8,800-meter crosscut.

In order to ensure a safe passage, Lu Yu lowered his center of gravity at the first opportunity.

He used his hands and feet together.

He carefully lay on it and moved his body.

On both sides of the road, there were snow slopes of more than 45 degrees.

The middle was only one person wide and frozen with a thick layer of ice.

Because I wore crampons, my grip was naturally guaranteed, so it was not so strenuous to walk.

About ten minutes later.

After some effort, the 8,800-meter crosscut finally appeared in front of me.

He drove the ice spike into the starting point of the crosscut ice layer, and Lu Yu put on the climbing rope.

Then, he stepped up with his right foot and stepped onto the inclined snow slope first.

Then, his right hand followed up and swung the ice pick.

He waited until his body was completely fixed before he put away his left foot.

At this point, his entire body was lying on the slope, clinging to it tightly, and slowly moving to the upper right.

The drone flew overhead.

Overlooking the steep and huge 8,800-meter cross-cut snow slope.

The inclined rock wall was composed of thick snow and rocks exposed from time to time.

On Lu Yu's side were the continuous Himalayas.

The mountains were clearly light and dark.

Half white and half gray.

At this moment, their original towering heights had long disappeared without a trace.

One by one, they all became small hills that were not worth mentioning.
