Chapter 187: A Blizzard Is Coming, Outdoor Hypothermia!(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)
The surprise wind and snow whistled in my ears.
It sounds like Kinabalu's last warning to climbers!
Immediately afterwards, a terrible thought came out of Lu Yu's heart: The blizzard is coming!
On the high-altitude snow-capped mountains, blizzards can come anytime and anywhere.
There are no signs and no hints.
Even the most advanced weather forecasting systems can't fully grasp its patterns.
In that year, Yan Genghua, who was the first to climb Mount Everest in China, was unexpectedly encountered a snowstorm on the way down the peak.
The ultra-low temperature of minus 75 degrees made his body instantly frosted, and he fell asleep forever.
Low temperature frosts caused by blizzards are more likely to occur the closer to 8,000 meters.
Sometimes, climbers just want to take a break, only to never wake up in the snow.
But at the moment, low temperature is not the first boss to bear the brunt.
The raging cold wind is the number one killer that Lu Yu has to face!
Because the incident happened so suddenly, there was no time to deal with everything in front of me.
Next second!
Before he could react, the relentless storm directly knocked it to the ground and blew it down to a hundred meters away!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
One flip and two rolls!
Three Flying and Four Falling!
The world is spinning in sight.
I can't see the southeast and northwest clearly.
I can't tell where I am.
Lu Yu's whole person is at his mercy, drifting with the tide in the wind and snow, and going down with the trend!
For a time, the unique terrain of the mixed rock and snow belt made him lose all his sense of direction.
But with the strong support of adrenaline, the pain in my body was not so obvious, and I only felt dizzy.
I wanted to vomit, but I was stuck in my throat.
Stuck in the middle, it's hard to let go.
For a short moment, the brain suddenly went blank.
No emotion, no consciousness!
It wasn't until the severe pain came from the waist that the nerves revived again, and I suddenly woke up from my stupor!
In a hurry, Lu Yu let out a low cry, threw out the ice axe with his hand, and didn't think much about it, and slashed at the snow surface alone!
Bang!
The blade fell.
It happened to pierce into a rock crevice and temporarily stabilized the body!
However, before it could make a move, the powerful wind and snow invaded again!
Phewββ!
Blowing in the wind and snow.
Lu Yu's whole person was lifted high and staggered in mid-air.
The center of gravity that has just been maintained seems to be destroyed at any moment!
This escape from death made the audience stunned, and they were all shocked by the horror of Mount Everest!
"Feather God hold on!"
"MMP, it's really dangerous!"
"it!"
"People are blowing!?"
"Indescribable!"
"Between life and death!"
"The 99th rub with the Grim Reaper!"
"Li Shizhen's awesome!"
"The most favored man in the world by death!"
......
Now!
The blade of the ice axe is engaged in the most exciting battle with the rock crevice.
If the two are separated, the thread will be broken.
In my sight, the snow goggles were frosty, blurring everything even more.
Subconsciously, there was nothing but a surging silver white in front of him.
The surrounding sky is dark, cold, tired, and weak, which is eating away at the fighting spirit and patience of the climbers.
Even if you wear a windproof mask, it is still difficult to withstand the critical blows of powerful wind and snow!
The ice axe is Lu Yu's last bargaining chip.
It is also the hope of a comeback.
No matter what happens, you can't let go.
Because once let go.
The whole person will fall vertically from an altitude of 7,000 meters with the strong wind.
At this height, even if you wear a protective suit, you have to fall to pieces.
Whoever comes has to fold.
Alive?
Never!
But now, if we continue to do nothing, it will be a matter of time before it blows down.
While fighting against the wind and snow, he looked around.
Unfortunately, there is almost no place to stay near the left.
The only thing you can do is with these slightly raised rocks on the snow.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu moved against the wind.
While holding the handle of the pickaxe with his right hand, he slowly pulls his body in an attempt to lower his center of gravity and bring his feet back to the ground.
However, it is not easy.
I tried four or five times in a row.
Not only did it not control the center of gravity well, but it broke the force limit of the rock crevice, and for a while, the ice axe was in danger, and it seemed that it would get out of it at any time.
Dilemma.
Neither advance nor retreat is satisfactory.
The situation is deadlocked.
However, Lu Yu still did not give up, and while withstanding the pressure, he reached out and took off the mountaineering rope on his waist, clenched the ice pick on it with his left hand, and stabbed it forward!
Bang!
When the sound of breaking the air came, the ice pick fell, but because it could not stabilize the center of gravity, the first stab was not successful!
And then another stab!
Still didn't work out!
"Grass!"
After scolding in his heart, Lu Yu precipitated his mind, tried hard to control the wind-bearing area of his body, and then tried his best again!
Bang!
Finally, the sharp ice pick finally pierced into the rock crevice and firmly controlled the crumbling body!
Looking at the figure swaying in the wind and snow, many viewers were shocked by this scene at the same time, but also amazed by its indomitable will!
In such a difficult and dangerous snowstorm, break the situation and seek a glimmer of life.
The legend of this incident can no longer be described in words.
At this moment, the live broadcast room fell into endless silence.
Everyone is watching this thrilling and wonderful snow dragon and tiger battle intently.
In the next second, in order to occupy a place in the raging wind and snow, while clutching the ice pick, Lu Yu took out the crumbling ice axe and struggled to split into the rock crevice.
Then, raise your head slightly, and with the help of the wind, lower your legs.
Stepping on two rock points respectively, they finally crawled on the snow.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed, and the wind and snow did not stop, and there was no intention of stopping.
But compared to before, it has weakened a lot.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Yu tried to move his hands and feet.
The resistance has been greatly reduced, but now is still not the best time to escape from the wind.
The prolonged low temperature caused a rapid loss of heat in the body, and it was only possible to act after the wind and snow completely stopped and the body temperature returned to normal levels.
Under the wind and snow, Lu Yu unloaded his backpack, took out a tent and sleeping bag and wrapped them around his body, and maintained his body temperature as much as possible.
"I'd rather sweat from the heat than get cold. β
This is an iron rule that must be followed after a snowstorm in mountaineering.
Elephant in the room.
At this time, you should not move around, let alone climb any activities.
Otherwise, the body loses a lot of valuable calories!
The heat generated when resisting wind and snow cannot drive body temperature.
Continued activity will only exacerbate hypothermia with irreversible consequences.
The right thing to do is to stand by and stand by.
Use all available cold protection equipment to maintain body temperature, replenish calories, and meet the physical requirements of the body as much as possible.
Brushing the snow off his face and opening his cracked mouth, Lu Yu was panting frantically while eating beef jerky frantically.
Then, he filled the 78 pot with a lot of snow and put it in his arms.
At this time, you can't drink hot water.
Never eat any hot food either.
Because by doing so, not only can it not be rewarmed quickly, but it will violently dilate blood vessels, resulting in hypotension, further reducing core body temperature, and causing rewarming shock!
