Reaching the top successfully, countless people cheered for them.

Including Chu Nan Guyue and others have realized their mountaineering dreams, and they stand on the highest peak in the world. In the past month or so, they have passed the tests of Mount Everest, and they can only get a short stop of dozens of minutes on the summit...... Enough too!

Qingtian and the others, who had given up climbing the mountain and returned to the camp halfway, inevitably felt pity, looking up at the top of the mountain with a complicated face, they should be happy to have picked up a life, but now they are not happy.

Qingtian had an incomprehensible expression on his face, and said to the camera of the photographer accompanying the team: "I should have reached the top with them, but ...... That's not how it shouldn't be. It's really sad not to be able to reach the top with them. …… I'm not jealous, I'm just eager to get to the top. ”

Listening to the shouts of their teammates on the radio, they felt even more heartbroken, and then looked at the surrounding bases, "The base camp is like a snow-covered planet, we are all exiled prisoners, watching the teams coming and going every day, blowing up the snow, waiting for the release of the prison after rushing to the top." ”

However, most of the disasters in the history of Everest climbing have occurred on the way down.

Therefore, the summit is only half the battle, and the safe retreat is the final success.

They should start evacuating the dead zone, there is still a long way to go down the mountain.

Generally speaking, most teams will designate the first arrival camp to be the one below the assault camp when they are planning, but just in case, the assault camp is ready to be restocked, and it is safer to set up an oxygen supply station above the assault camp if possible.

On the way back, it was already dawn, and in the daytime environment, more dried corpses could be seen, and they all maintained the last posture of their lives.

These corpses make people dare not slack off.

When Wang Shi descended the mountain, his adrenaline dropped and his physical strength began to deteriorate. He slipped and brought the bad news, "I'm frostbitten...... Four fingers were frostbitten, and he was already unconscious. ”

Except for Chen Ergou, the others are in a similar situation to him, only Chen Ergou can help, "Don't take off your gloves, your skin exposed to the air at minus 30 degrees will get frostbite within 1 minute." ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

However, at this moment, there was another bad news from the base, "The weather has changed, you must speed up!"

Overhead, there was a whirlwind white cloud, which was very clear. It looks beautiful, but it contains boundless danger.

Chen Ergou didn't keep it anymore, and helped a few people who couldn't walk to start slowly retreating, barely descending to the second ledge, but the blockage here was more serious than before. From a distance, everyone is moving at turtle speed, really slowly.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it is even starting to snow in the wind, which is dangerous.

"Time is slipping away, we've been in the mountains for too long, and it's cold to just stand and do nothing. ”

Chen Ergou responded indirectly in the team, but he looked worried, muttered to the camera, and said: "What worries me more is that the oxygen cylinder is used too much, and I must speed up!"

The audience, who saw the wind and snow getting bigger and bigger, also began to worry.

"What the hell was the weather, wasn't it okay just now?"

Everyone complained, but there was nothing to be done, because the people in front couldn't get down, the people behind couldn't get up, and everyone was stuck in the traffic arteries.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the team finally began to move slowly again.

Finally crossed the second ledge.

At this time, Wang Jing's physical strength was already very weak due to excessive fatigue, and she would fall unconsciously every step or two, but she stood up slowly, still insisting on continuing to walk forward one by one.

In the case of physical weakness and difficulty breathing on the plateau, it is also difficult to walk in the mountains, which is not only extremely difficult, but also quite dangerous. Now, with every step they take, their bodies suffer greatly!

Jan Hesban, the organizer of the British "Everest Commission", wrote in his book "The Expedition to Mount Everest": "There is no greater pain in the human body anywhere than a climber of Mount Everest endures on the last day of climbing." …… Even if he had a perfect physique and vigorous energy, if he lacked the courage to endure the blizzard, his nerves did not dare to walk on the edge of Cui Wei's hanging rock, and his will could not move forward bravely when the death of sleeping sickness attacked, he would still not be able to reach the top. ”

For Jan Hesban's colleagues, his words do make sense. However, for Chen Ergou, a team of mountaineers who are well-equipped and motivated to go home, what kind of difficulties and dangers can hold them back and block their progress?

Whether for fame or fortune or for their ideals, they have achieved the feat of summiting Mount Everest in the last cycle of good weather before the arrival of the long rainy season in the Himalayas, and now they only need to descend the mountain and return.

There is not much oxygen, and it looks like it is going to the end.

Wang Shi's condition was also relatively bad, the lack of oxygen made his ears buzz, and the white and black in front of him burst out with "Venus", and he began to enter a semi-comatose state.

Chen Ergou saw that he was about to fall down crookedly, so he hurriedly supported him, glanced at the power of his oxygen cylinder, and said, "Lao Wang, hold on for a while, and there will be spare oxygen when you reach the first ledge." ”

Lao Wang breathed heavily and did not reply.

"Who has more oxygen!" he shouted anxiously, and several replies immediately rang in his ears.

"Use mine. ”

"Use mine, I still have a lot of oxygen. ”

The audience in the live broadcast room was immediately moved when they saw this scene. Everyone knows how precious oxygen is in that kind of place, but these people did not disgrace the Chinese, they rushed to contribute their own oxygen. With his own actions, he infected all the audience.

"Nima, who said that morality is degraded on Mount Everest. ”

"The Chinese mountaineering team is all good. ”

"Come on, everyone, we must all return safely. ”

"At this moment, think about the dog master who is oxygen-free mountaineering all the time, and compare everyone,...... This guy is a pervert!"

In the end, Chen Ergou chose Huang Cong, who had the most oxygen, "Old Huang, is it okay?"

"No problem, I can still hold on and give my oxygen to Lao Wang. "Huang Cong contributed nearly half of his own oxygen.

Wang Shi glanced at him, full of gratitude, but he didn't have the strength to speak. He knew in his heart that everyone was very dangerous, and at the height of the so-called "death zone", the danger of suffocation could occur at any time if there was a lack of oxygen. "Thank you...... Lao Huang. ”

"Hold on to Lao Wang, everyone has to go down the mountain together. ”

Chen Ergou bit off the glove with his mouth, and neatly helped him fill nearly half of the oxygen, and the red needle on the barometer showed that Huang Cong's oxygen cylinder was only left with the last few hundred pressures of oxygen. Wang Shi started to inhale oxygen again, cheered up again, and went down the mountain with the team.

At this moment, there was a loud "boom", and all the climbers trembled in unison, and a desperate word appeared in their minds, "Ice Avalanche!"

This sound was so loud that the audience in the live broadcast room also trembled in unison.

Chen Ergou, who had experienced an ice avalanche at close range before, also remembered it vividly, stood up and looked around.

The whole summit seemed to be in a hollow tremor, echoing back and forth at the top of the mountain, clicking, booming, as if a man was between the heavens and the earth.

The rumbling snow mist began to drift over the side cliffs, and the camera turned to see only large chunks of ice walls collapsing, and then there was a trembling, as if the whole of Mount Everest was trembling and jolting!

Even the audience in the live broadcast room, thousands of miles away, they were terrified.

"Nima, what a horrible picture. The picture is shaking. ”

"I lay on my bed and watched, even my bed was moving. ”

"It's scary, we're just watching the live broadcast, it's already like this, how horrible the scene must be. A sense of apocalypse!"

Finally, the snow mist sprayed in.

The picture is completely white, and I can't see much of it. All that was left in the headphones was the sound of whirring wind, with the occasional shout.

After dozens of seconds, the picture was clear again, everyone's faces were grim, but they didn't dare to stop the pace of going down the mountain. It took a long time on the radio to reply, "Rustle...... There is an ice avalanche, are you okay...... Shasha, the road below the third ledge is nearly half covered, there may be hiking ropes buried, everyone be careful!"

"Roger! Is anyone hurt?"

"Rustle...... I don't know, I hope no one dies. But this year's climbing season has ended early, so everyone must return safely!"

The snowfall in the sky and the dangers broadcast on the radio in the ears from time to time all made everyone's hearts rise to their throats.

The climbers in front of them had apparently received the same information, whether they had the strength to fight up the mountain, or those who did not have the strength to stop in place, they were frightened by the huge ice avalanche just now. The ice collapse was not without its benefits, at least everyone was now in the same direction, and they all turned around and began to return.

The speed of descent suddenly increased a lot.

They finally met Adrian and Qin Feiyu and the others at the bottom of the first step, and they began to return on the second ledge. Because when I climbed to the second ledge, I couldn't lift my feet to climb the ladder anymore. In the end, faced with the threat of death, they chose to give up.

It is undoubtedly very sad to choose to give up, especially if you have already reached the second step.

Today's failure is also this year's failure, and next time, I don't know if I can return to Mount Everest in the Year of the Monkey...... But at least it will save his life.

Here you can see the huge ice that has just fallen from the ice avalanche, which is very dangerous and could slide down again at any time. A large section of the mountaineering rope was submerged, and at this time, Chen Ergou didn't have much to do, so he could only let everyone tie it together with ropes.

A group of people supported each other, and finally at about two o'clock in the afternoon, they safely withdrew to the 8,300-meter camp, and saw their tent bags from a distance.

"Yay, we're back!"

"It's back...... Ay. ”

"Finally back. ”

After a short rest, I was ready to continue the retreat. It is necessary to retreat to the camp at 7790 meters in the evening and spend the night.

Chen Ergou sat in the tent and began to pack his things. The joy of successful mountaineering is beyond words. However, at this time, the radio once again played a joke on everyone, "Help, help!"
