Chapter 103 Climbing Mount Everest
LS has a special trip to Mount Everest, and the destination is Mount Everest Base Camp.
Chen Luo did not report to the group. With his current appearance, wherever he goes, he is a trouble.
And he has a lot of secrets on him, and he may enter the fantasy world at any time, so he first bought sunglasses and a mask, then rented a car and drove there by himself.
It takes about 10 hours to drive from LS to Mount Everest Base Camp for more than 700 kilometers.
By the time Chen Luo arrived, it was already completely dark.
Because going to the Everest base camp requires a border defense certificate, Chen Luo can't do it at all. The appearance of his current ID card is too different from the current one, and it is impossible to do it.
Chen Luo found a place to park far outside the base camp and stopped. He only put on a mountaineering mask, and got out of the car and walked towards the mountains in the distance.
If ordinary people saw Chen Luo’s current clothes, they would be shocked. The base camp of Mount Everest is 5,200 meters above sea level. During the day, it is fine. At night, the temperature is below zero.
But Chen Luo only wore a thin tracksuit and sneakers, but as if he couldn't feel the cold at all, he quickly ran into the distance.
Chen Luo's body has been genetically modified to a very exaggerated level. Now he runs as fast as a gust of wind. The distance of 100 meters takes less than five seconds, which is faster than the speed of those world champions. times.
And maintaining such a fast speed, Chen Luo didn't feel tired at all.
After Chen Luo ran like this for more than 20 minutes, he had come to a mountain range under the base camp of Mount Everest and began to climb the mountain with bare hands, or rock climbing with bare hands.
Because Chen Luo didn't have any climbing equipment at all, from the beginning he was going to climb to the top of Mount Everest with his bare hands.
In addition to being a dream of Chen Luo when he was a child, the most important thing is that he wants to see how strong his physical fitness is now.
And Chen Luo is not afraid of encountering danger. He really can't catch the fall, and he can enter the Western Fantasy World at any time.
When it came out again, although it was still falling, it had relieved most of the impact.
When he fell to the ground, he entered the Western Fantasy World and came out, which would be similar to the impact of jumping in place.
Chen Luo looked up at the top of the mountain, stretched out his hand and grabbed a protruding rock above. With a violent force on his feet, he jumped up to a height of three meters, and then reached out again and grabbed a protruding rock above. Stabilize the body.
Then Chen Luo began to jump up continuously, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The straight-line distance between Mount Everest Base Camp and the summit of Mount Everest is about 19 kilometers. Even after professional training, it will take about a month.
But the vertical distance is different, only more than 3600 meters, the time required will be much shorter.
Time passed, and soon it was dawn.
At the same time, Zhang Haixiang, who had just passed the 7,500-meter Camp No. 3 on Mount Everest, felt very tormented and wanted to go back, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart.
Climbing Mount Everest is not a rush to the top, but an adaptive climb in stages.
There are five camps on Mount Everest. In addition to the base camp, there are Camp No. 1 at 5,900 meters above sea level, Camp No. 2 at 6,400 meters, Camp No. 3 at 7,500 meters and Camp No. 4 at 7,950 meters.
When Zhang Haixiang set off, there were originally 21 people in the team, all experienced mountaineers.
But by the time they arrived at Camp 3, ten people were already seriously unwell, confused, and had a fever, and they didn't even know where they were.
"Can't you even get to Camp 4?" Zhang Haixiang smiled helplessly, looking at the mighty snow-capped mountains in front of him, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Zhang Haixiang sighed, now that the situation is like this, he can't make fun of the lives of his teammates, so he had to ask the safety consultant of the climbing company to escort these companions down the mountain first.
Zhang Haixiang asked the opinions of the remaining teammates. Some people are willing to move forward, but some people have already retreated.
They are at an altitude of 7,500 meters, and the oxygen here is only one-third of that on flat ground. Even if they wear oxygen masks when they sleep at night, they cannot curb the discomfort in their bodies.
Zhang Haixiang's physical condition is actually very poor. The diarrhea has become more and more serious these days. The rhinitis is about to make him die in a dream, and his memory and reaction are also declining. He even doubts whether he can be a human being when he goes back.
After a few hours of rest, Zhang Haixiang took the remaining three teammates who were willing to move forward together and set off again. The Kunbu Glacier was waiting for them!
The Khumbu Glacier, which is called the "horror glacier" by the climbers of Mount Everest, has several ice avalanches every day, and there are hundreds of ice crevices covered by ice and snow. Once it falls, even the body cannot be found.
30% of the victims on the way to the summit were buried here, and if you want to go from Camp 3 to Camp 4, you must pass through the Khumbu Glacier.
Every road here is made step by step with the lives of countless climbers, and corpses buried in snow and ice waterfalls can be seen everywhere.
Some of them are not even roads. In the cliffs of nearly 90°, you have to nail the ropes with old hands and slowly climb over them.
When Zhang Haixiang and others saw these corpses, they couldn't help but feel ups and downs in their hearts. Since they have chosen this path to conquer nature, they will either succeed or become part of nature.
After Zhang Haixiang and others sighed, they continued to carefully step on the edge of the mountain road, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound from below amid the cold wind whistling.
It was the sound of gravel from the collision of rock formations.
Zhang Haixiang was shocked, could it be that an ice avalanche is about to happen?
Zhang Haixiang instinctively looked down, and then his eyes widened, but his eyes were swollen due to long-term lack of sleep, and his vision was a little blurred, but he seemed to see a figure far below!
Below...the figure...!
Zhang Haixiang felt a thrill in his heart. He is now on the edge of the glacier, and there is a cliff below him. How could there be anyone.
"Haixiang, am I dazzled? Come on, someone rushes up below!?"
The teammates shouted loudly at Zhang Haixiang in front of him, his voice was full of surprise and inconceivable.
"It's really human, he, he climbed up with his bare hands!!"
Now Zhang Haixiang is sure that it's not that he has an illusion, but that someone is actually climbing on the cliff wall with his bare hands!
Under the shock of Zhang Haixiang, his feet suddenly slipped, and he did not expect to step on the dark crevice of the glacier, and the whole person was stuck there.
Taking advantage of his rich mountaineering experience, Zhang Haixiang quickly lay down in a direction perpendicular to the trend of the glacier, increasing the contact area with the ground.
Falling into a glacier crevice is something that climbers often encounter. Once it gets stuck in it, if you don't react in time, the whole person will fall in the next moment, and then there is only one dead end.
It's just that Zhang Haixiang was unlucky this time. He fell so deeply that his legs were all sunk into it.
The teammates behind saw this scene and were all shocked at the same time, but they didn't dare to move, because if this situation passed, not only would it not be able to save Zhang Haixiang, but it might cause an ice avalanche and cause everyone to die together.
