Chapter 80: The Mountain Climbs to the Top, and I am the Peak

I have to say that the time period when they came to Nepal to climb Mount Everest is really good.

There are not as many people as in May,

The weather also managed to avoid the rainy season and was very sunny.

Nepal is a landlocked mountain country located in the southern foothills of the middle Himalayas.

Its golden months are October and November, and only then can the Himalayas be seen without a trace of clouds and haze.

But Feng Chen didn't think of these things before he came, he just wanted to climb to the top.

Although the dust was sealed early in the morning, the sky was still bright.

The whole camp was still filled with a soft mist, and the many peaks in the distance were tightly wrapped in a layer of white, and the white fog rendered everything hazy and psychedelic.

The pale blue sky was so clean that there was not a trace of impurities, and the faint color stretched all the way to the entire sky.

The majestic Mount Everest and the Lhotse Peak on the other side stand in the distance like a great wall,

The wolf-like flag clouds on the top of the mountain seemed to declare their sanctity, but the hikers still made their way towards the snow-capped mountain without fear.

Of course, it's not just about getting up so early.

In the first few minutes, Feng Chen had already seen two commercial mountaineering teams heading towards Mount Everest.

Feng Chen didn't have the slightest intention of looking for a commercial mountaineering team,

If it weren't for the Nepalese government's mandatory requirement to hire at least one guide, Feng Chen would have even wanted his own group to go straight to it.

"Hey, you guys wake up so early. ”

Guide Dawa Steven arrived at Dust's side at this time.

Feng Chen glanced at the guide and smiled: "It's okay, the main thing is to see the early morning scenery here." ”

Dawa Steven turned around and glanced at the tent camp, then said to Feng Chen, "The scenery here is indeed fascinating, but I think it's almost time for us to go, you see a few of your friends are out." ”

"Huh, are you all up?"

Feng Chen heard Dawa Steven say this, and hurriedly turned around.

really

Fengyun and the six of them were standing not far from them.

"Okay, then let's check the equipment and let's go!"

Feng Chen withdrew his gaze from Everest and walked with Dawa Steven to the camping tent.

Dawa Steven carefully inspected the equipment,

After confirming that there was no problem, the seven people who sealed the dust were each equipped with their own equipment and followed him towards Mount Everest.

After walking for a while, Dawa Steven spoke.

"Actually, climbing a snow-capped mountain like Mount Everest is quite a difficult thing.

One of the big difficulties lies in the high altitude, where the rarefied air greatly reduces our abilities.

At the same time, the high altitude also brings low temperatures and strong winds, and the climate in the mountains is already very changeable, so even a veteran like me, who has climbed many times, cannot guarantee that our climb will not be out of order. ”

Feng Chen, who was wrapped in a down jacket and followed Dawa Steven in hiking boots, nodded and said, "We understand, if something unexpected happens, you can prioritize your own safety, and these friends of mine are not idle people." ”

Hearing Feng Chen's words, Dawa Steven turned around and smiled:

"Hey, young man, it's the first time you've been waiting for Everest, boy.

You may be in great health, but don't underestimate Everest.

Altitude sickness, snow blindness, frostbite, dehydration, pulmonary edema...... Even if there is only one of these dangers I mentioned, it will be enough for you to drink a pot. ”

"Well, we'll be careful, I'll tell you if there's a problem!"

Feng Chen picked up his sunglasses, and his tone became serious.

"Okay, then you follow me. ”

Dawa Steven turned his head back with that, picking up speed on his feet.

The rest of the road was silent until it reached about 6,000 meters.

At this time, Dawa Steven reminded again:

"It's going to be more difficult for us from here, there are 'Kongbu Ice Explosions' up here, and from time to time there will be ice towers falling from the top of the mountain, and these dozens or hundreds of tons of ice and snow fall in a matter of seconds, you must be careful. ”

"Hmm!"

Feng Chen hurriedly nodded, and the six behind him were also cautious.

"There's Camp C1 just a short distance ahead, why don't we get some rest there?" suggested Dawa Steven.

"No, no, you see we don't even have oxygen at the moment, keep going, as long as we can't stand it, stop immediately. Feng Chen waved his hand.

After crossing the C1 camp (5943 meters) to the C2 camp (6400 meters), the dust did not stop.

When he arrived at Camp C3 (7,162 meters) from Camp C2, Dawa Steven strongly asked to rest here, but he refused to continue to walk forward according to Feng Chen's words, so Feng Chen had no choice but to stop at Camp C3.

Stopping at Camp C3, Dawa Steven said hello and removed his crampons to go to the bathroom.

That's when the real danger happened,

Dawa Steven noticed that there was something slippery under his feet, and was about to pull the rope that was locked to the tent, when suddenly he stumbled, and he slipped out of control!

What's even more terrifying is that there is a glacial crack that glows a faint green light right where Dawa Steven slipped away!

At the last moment,

Feng Chen reacted quickly and shouted eagerly: "Save people!"

Then, I saw two figures flash to Dava Steven's side at a speed that couldn't be seen clearly, and easily grabbed him.

It's Nie Feng and Selene.

Seeing that Dawa Steven was saved, Feng Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the people also stopped rushing forward.

"I'm sorry, I was too careless......"

In the tent, Dawa Steven kept apologizing to the dust.

"It's okay, it's okay, my friend has seen your leg, the injury is not serious, and there will be no problem if you go back and rest for a few days." Feng Chen comforted.

Dawa Steven had just slipped when his leg hit a raised rock,

Although he was quickly pulled by Nie Feng and Selene in time, his leg could not continue to move for a while.

Dusty comforted Dawa Steven for a while, and agreed to contact another Sherpa to come up.

Walking out of Dawa Steven's tent, he casually glanced not far away, and he saw a climber dead in his tent, which made him feel anxious.

"Are you really going to wait here for another person to come up?"

Selene stepped forward and asked about sealing the dust.

After Feng Chen glanced at Selene, he turned his gaze to the peak in front of him, and he replied categorically: "Of course not!"

............

The night is thick,

Feng Chen's group of seven people broke away from the C3 camp and continued to climb up against the bitter cold wind.

The dark and silent glacier, a group of nocturnal walkers, with their headlights lit, moving up the ghostly glacier at great speed.

Without Dawa Steven as a guide, their speed has risen instead of decreasing.

In the middle, Feng Chen and Ida Wang encountered two thrilling crises, but they were easily resolved by Nie Feng and them.

With the help of the two strongest Fengyun duo in the team, Dusty Dust traveled at a terrifying speed, and for this reason, Dusty also made a point to avoid the other climbers along the way, so as not to be treated as monsters.

Even the highest peaks have peaks.

finally

In the early morning of the next day, they reached the top!

"It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance", "The infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak",

The beautiful scenery under the top of the mountain is all under the eyes of the dust.

The glacier and snow-capped mountains in the distance are covered in silver, which is extraordinarily enchanting, and shines in the golden light of the rising sun, radiating infinite vitality and deeply shocking the dust.

"Is this the top of the world......

At this moment,

Feng Chen saw the magnificence of nature, and also had some different feelings.

Is it dangerous? Dangerous!

Shocked? Shocked!

But small and great shock!
