Xia Ruobing stretched out his hand to pull Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai back from the hands of death, and it took a lot of effort, Chen Badai completely controlled the situation, pulled Wang Xingguo back, re-strengthened the fixed point, repaired the broken rope, Chen Badai took the lead, and finally climbed onto the platform, after he tied the rope, the person was too tired to work, he reached out to get the kettle in his bag, but found that his fingers were so stiff that he couldn't bend it, and the back of his hand was also blown purple by the cold wind.

Chen Badai put his hand to his mouth, took several breaths of hot air, and his fingers became a little conscious.

That's all for today, the sun is only half a face in the distance, and the last shred of heat in the valley will be taken away after the sun sets, and it will be even colder tonight.

"This is what you call the simpler first platform?" When Pandy climbed up panting, the first thing he said when he saw Xia Ruobing was complaining.

Xia Ruobing didn't dare to answer, the fear just now made her not fully recover, and he suspected that he was really wrong.

"Now turn around...... It's still too late...... Wait until next year...... Next summer...... Follow the route of the Loulan people, although it will be longer...... But it will be safer......" Xia Ruobing said to her with a voice in her heart.

"It's going well......" Dick stood aside and looked up at the Undead Peak in the distance, much faster than he expected.

"No...... Can't wait for next year...... Even if he doesn't continue, Dick will organize an expedition this winter......" Another voice shouted to Xia Ruobing, "You only have to move forward!" Forward! Forward! ”

Xia Ruobing looked around, wanting to find someone to say something to relieve the helplessness in his heart, Wang Xingguo and Sherpa were setting up camp, Tchaikov and Pandy were sitting on the ground pouring raspberry wine, Mr. Min and Dick were also busy, only Chen Badai was left to sit alone on the edge of the cliff and look into the distance.

Xia Ruobing felt that he should say thank you to him, if it wasn't for his roar, he didn't know what kind of big mistake he would make.

"Chen Badai, thank you." Xia Ruobing walked over and said softly.

"You're welcome, I don't want casualties in my team." Chen Badai said lightly.

"I was in the crack of the stone just now...... "Xia Ruobing wanted to say something.

"That's nothing to do with me!" Chen Badai once again coldly refused to talk to Xia Ruobing.

"Okay." Xia Ruobing felt Chen Badai's strength for the first time, the heartless Chen Badai in the past seemed to be a different person, on this cold mountain, he was facing himself with a cold attitude.

Xia Ruobing felt a little helpless, she had to walk to Pan Di's side, took the water bladder from Pan Di's hand, and poured a large sip of raspberry wine, stimulated by the bitter raspberry wine, Xia Ruobing felt a little sober.

"It was really dangerous just now." Tchaikov said.

"Hmm......" Xia Ruobing was a little absent-minded.

"Tchaikov, I'll just say it's not that easy." Pandey accosted.

"I ...... Tchaikov, wouldn't it be better if we came again next year? Xia Ruobing hesitated and asked.

"Next year?! Are you kidding?! Tchaikov's eyes widened, "The scepter is on the hill ahead, I can't let Dick take the scepter!" ”

Xia Ruobing knew that it was impossible for him to convince Tchaikov, in the face of Dick's competition and the hundreds of years of grievances between the two families, Tchaikov would not quit at this time no matter what, and Dick would not show weakness......

Mr. Min came over to beg for a drink, and Tchaikov had a better impression of Mr. Min than Dick, and handed him his own flask, and Mr. Min took a sip of vodka, and his whole body became hot.

"Min, isn't it good for you to be your antiquities dealer?" Tchaikov joked.

"There is always something to be pursued in life." Mr. Min laughed and returned the flask to Tchaikov.

"I'm curious, what happened 20 years ago?" Tchaikov recalled, "I have heard that your expedition is the best Loulanist and expedition expert in the world. ”

"There was a little accident...... Mr. Min smiled and froze, he felt that there was no need to continue the conversation, and left in a huff.

The platform is spacious enough, everyone set up an alpine tent on the platform, resisting the cold wind of the high mountain, after dinner, everyone got into the tent separately, today's physical consumption is too great, need to rest and recover physical strength.

Wang Xingguo unfolded his sleeping bag, after the night fell, the wind became stronger and stronger, the alpine tent shivered in the wind, making a whirring sound, Wang Xingguo broke his fingers hard, it may have been too long since he had climbed in the alpine mountains, he felt that his fingers were getting stiffer and stiffer.

The zipper of the tent was slowly unzipped, Wang Xingguo looked up at Xia Ruobing, Xia Ruobing didn't speak, she got into the tent, slowly pulled the zipper, and the tent became a small two-person world for the two of them.

Xia Ruobing took off her coat, got into Wang Xingguo's sleeping bag, and gently hugged Wang Xingguo's waist: "Am I a little too risky?" ”

Wang Xingguo remembered Sherpa's words, Xia Ruobing was very hesitant at this time, she needed someone to support her unconditionally and comfort her.

Wang Xingguo gently hugged Xia Ruobing's head and let her lean on his chest: "Ruobing, we are already standing at the door, we just need to work harder." ”

"I saw that stone pressed down, I hid in the crack of the stone, but I felt my whole body stiffen, I heard you calling me, I wanted to answer, but I couldn't, I hid in that crack of the stone, I felt like I couldn't do anything, I saw you fall in front of my eyes...... Wang Xingguo...... I ......" Xia Ruobing sobbed softly.

Wang Xingguo hugged Xia Ruobing's shoulders hard, and Xia Ruobing had been under too much pressure during this time: "It's okay, everything is still with me." ”

"Wang Xingguo, I'm a little scared, if ......"

"I'll get the scepter for you, and I'll grant your wishes." Wang Xingguo said affirmatively.

……

Chen Badai rubbed his hands alone under the swaying tent lamp in the tent, his fingers burst out, and his knuckles were a little stiff, he did climb a little too fast in that section today, his fingers could not be relieved, the cold wind outside the tent was whistling, and the temperature outside was already below zero, Chen Badai had to keep his fingers warm, he had to rub his fingers to make the blood circulate.

Perhaps because of fatigue and lack of oxygen, Chen Badai's head began to ache faintly again, in order to save Wang Xingguo, he consumed a lot just now, he felt that his body was a little weak, his shoulders were so stiff that he clicked as soon as he moved, and his big arm was slightly strained today because of the strength.

The wind became louder and louder, and Chen Badai's mood began to be irritable again, and two ghost-faced skeletons kept floating in front of him, sometimes grinning at him, sometimes whispering: "Ma Ying has surpassed the Eagle...... It's just ...... But he's still a shelf eagle......"

Chen Badai reached into his pocket to find the medicine bottle, if he didn't control it, his head would hurt more and more!

Before being woken up by Grandpa Pandy's broken voice, Chen Badai only fell into a short light sleep, under the control of the drug, the headache did not make him unbearable, but the sides of his forehead were dull pain all night.

Today's weather is not good, the weather is gloomy, the sky is also drifting with some snowflakes, mixed with some freezing rain, Chen Badai glanced at the thermometer on his watch, the temperature outside is 3 degrees Celsius.

Sleet began to fall in the second half of the night last night, and the tents were wet with ice ballast in some places due to high winds and low temperatures.

It's better when it's dry and cold, and the most feared thing about the expedition is the humid climate above and below zero, where the freezing rain with snowflakes will quickly penetrate into the clothes, and even the best waterproof materials will not be able to resist such penetration.

The small but dense freezing rain hit the jacket and disappeared immediately, and the occasional falling ice crystal melted immediately when it touched the clothes, leaving a little water trail on the clothes, and the outer layer of the rainproof jacket designed for the mountains was soaked in a short time.

Tchaikov looked at the weather with some concern, but seeing that this cloud layer would not clear in the short term, the freezing rain was not too big, and if it climbed higher, the freezing rain would turn into snowflakes in a place with low temperatures, and it would be better.

Leaving the platform all the way up, most of this section of the road is a large slope of 45 ° to 60 °, some places can be climbed with both hands and feet, and some places are traversed from the narrow rock shed, in some slippery sections, Chen Badai and Wang Xingguo with ropes to do a good job of protection, if you can cross the second platform, in the south-facing place about 2 kilometers, that is the route of the Loulan migration, where is under the peak of the dead.

The dense sleet disappeared as soon as it hit the body, and turned into water seeping into the clothes, and people felt heavier and heavier as they walked, and the odious low temperature and strong winds still harassed people.

It didn't take long for everyone's coats to get soaked, and the priceless jacket didn't serve its purpose in such a harsh climate.

As the altitude gets higher and higher, Pandey feels that the air is getting more and more insufficient, and the polar bears from the north are used to the dry and cold air, and here the moist cold air rushes into the lungs, making Pandey feel that there is less oxygen, and the not too big but dense sleet is like a needle in the face of Pandey under the help of the strong wind, and the face is numb for a while, and it hurts for a while, which makes Pandey very uncomfortable, and the heat of the body when walking is just enough to resist the heat taken away by the cold wind, but Pandey just stopped and wanted to take a breath, and immediately felt the coldIf you stand in place a little longer, your feet will immediately feel hard.

Others are not much better, and unless they immediately find a shelter from the wind, stop and rearrange their clothes, and change into dry underwear, they can only move on and fight the cold and wet weather with exercise.
