At 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, I started to march in the mountains without stars and moons, and after only 100 meters, I saw the snow line, which is the balance line of the amount of snowfall equal to the amount of annual melt.

The annual snowfall above the snow line is greater than the annual melt amount, and the snowfall accumulates year by year, which becomes the so-called 10,000-year snow cover.

Walking here, the sound of footsteps turned into the sound of clattering snow, and Brother Qiang emphasized less chatting and less talking during the meeting, so Ye Kai could only hear a large wheezing.

On this plateau, everyone has not rested well, and fatigue and high reaction have seriously tested the physical fitness of many people.

The further up he went, the deeper the snow became, and Brother Qiang led the team to stop and go on the steep slope, leaving a lot of time for everyone to rest, and to be extremely cautious at every step on the steep slope to prevent slipping.

After all, no one can see what the road looks like when it is covered with snow.

The slopes are gently flattened, as the snow accumulates on the gentle slopes all year round, and the snow can even cover the knee with one foot.

Fortunately, the road was stepped on once by the team in front, and Ye Kai and they belonged to the second echelon and were not so tired.

Zhou Qiao's eyes looked straight ahead, following the footprints left by others, the flush on his face became more and more obvious, he looked at the time, and the team had only been gone for ten minutes.

"Brother Sun, Brother Sun. He shouted quietly.

Sun Shang was in front of him, very close, and after hearing Zhou Qiao's call, he turned around in a rough manner, but his footsteps did not stop, and he said: "Huh, huh...... What's wrong?"

"My head is starting to get dizzy again, I think, I want to vomit......"

Sun Shang didn't know what to do for a while.

Do you think I'm comfortable?

He is also a person who regularly exercises, his physical fitness is better than most of his peers, and aerobic exercise is insisted on every day, and he felt that he must be one of the people who reached the top an hour ago.

But now that he looked at the team in front of him, he felt weak.

After walking for less than 20 minutes, I was panting so hard that every step I took felt like I was dragging a stone, like a weight of dozens of kilograms tied to my legs.

The Tibetan guide who walked behind them said, "Can you go up? You can go down by yourself, this is very close to the base camp, and you will reach the base camp in ten minutes by sliding down." ”

Everyone heard this and looked back at the camp in unison.

The light of the camp was clearly visible, and it seemed that there were still many people standing in the place of light watching the mountaineering team, and Ye Kai seemed to see Zhou Sihui's figure for a moment.

But soon the vision became blurry.

The scarcity of oxygen at high altitude also caused Ye Kai's body functions to decline rapidly.

Ye Kai turned around and continued to walk behind Brother Qiang.

This mountaineering to the summit was different from everyone's plan, Ye Kai and Sun Shang were full of confidence before, and felt that climbing a peak of more than 5,000 meters was not a piece of cake?

But the reality is many times more difficult than previously anticipated.

It's just that no matter how difficult it is, Ye Kai has only one thought in his heart, that is, he must rush to the top, he must take this snow mountain, no matter what, he never thought of giving up.

Sun Shang touched the camera hanging around his neck, and followed the team without looking back.

It was so dark that the moonlight didn't seem to shine on the place at all, and the only visible light source was the small beam of light above his head.

At this time, Ye Kai's eyes were suddenly illuminated by someone else's light, and he was a little dizzy for a while, and he stood in place and waited for a while before he could see what the light was on the opposite side.

Someone gave up.

Two people, a man and a woman, the girl had a faint sobbing sound, the speed of going down was very slow, the strength was in the upper body, pulling the rope and going down step by step.

I didn't use any strength in my feet, so I probably had an injury to my feet.

When they missed out in front of him, Ye Kai looked up and looked ahead, all the small lights added up to more than 30, which means that there were about thirty people who rushed to the top this morning.

Nearly half of the people had some kind of accident last night and chose to stay in the camp and not be able to climb the mountain.

At this time, Brother Qiang, who was walking in front, stopped again, gasping for breath and waiting for several other teammates who were already far away, Sun Shangli They were more than ten meters, and Zhou Qiao and the two guides who walked at the end of the team were already thirty or forty meters away.

"You're good. Brother Qiang complimented, "Are you really climbing the mountain for the first time? I feel that you are at ease, and there is hope today." ”

"It's the first time, maybe I'm in good health. ”

Ye Kai also stood and rested, the cold wind on the high mountain was whistling on his face, making the cold hairs on his face have a layer of fine frost, and the mountaineering team dragged on for a long time, and it was already difficult to see the light spots in front of him.

Although the weather was very cold, Ye Kai did not feel cold at all, but felt very hot.

Ye Kai felt that it was because he had been hiking, and every step he took on this plateau was equivalent to sprinting dozens of meters in the interior, which was extremely physically exhausting.

It's no wonder that you need to prepare a few bottles of green cattle for mountain climbing.

This stuff is very effective for replenishing physical energy, and the ingredients in it can also make people feel refreshed.

After waiting for ten minutes for Zhou Qiao to get closer, Brother Qiang waited for a long time, his body became colder and colder, and he said in a deep voice: "Go faster, there is not enough time." ”

Zhou Qiao endured the sourness on the tip of his nose and said, "Let's go, I'll walk slowly alone." ”

He had done his best, and he was reluctant to go down the mountain, let alone catch up with his teammates.

Seventeen or eighteen years old is the strongest age, he doesn't want to drag the team back, but he has indeed become a burden to the team now, if he continues to wait for himself like this, no one will want to reach the top today.

Brother Qiang said: "No, the team can't be dispersed. ”

This little brother is not in very good health, what if something happens? Although he signed a waiver agreement, the effect of that thing is really small, and he is still responsible for the accident.

Zhou Qiao pleaded: "I beg you, let's go first." ”

"Why don't I send you back?" asked one of the Tibetan guides.

"If I don't go back, I'll walk slowly, and I'll climb to the top of the mountain......" Zhou Qiao said through gritted teeth.

I have to say that Zhou Qiao at this moment has the appearance of a man, and Ye Kai admires him a little.

Zhou Sihui was helping him with everything before, like a giant baby. Although Ye Kai was still very good to him on his face, he did look down on him a little in his heart.

He doesn't look like a man at all.

Ye Kai didn't expect anything to travel at his age, at that time, the family had just suffered a great change, and of course he couldn't stay out of it as the only son in the family.

After the college entrance examination, he went directly to Futukang to work, and earned more than 8,000 yuan in two months.

Brother Qiang frowned, and said in his heart, this little brother is so stubborn......

It was impossible to let him climb the mountain alone, it didn't matter to him whether he could climb the mountain or not, he had already climbed higher peaks than this, and this trip was purely a mission.

But something happened to this team, and the responsibility was to be borne by itself.

He glanced at the rest of the people, pointed to a Tibetan and said, "Nima, you follow him, little brother, you go slowly, don't be in a hurry, if the high reaction is serious, go down the mountain, don't force it." ”
