With a bang, the emergency exit of the plane opened, and a cold wind rushed in, blowing up all the documents on the table next to him.

Lin Xuan did not hesitate at all and strode out.

He looked out at the door of the cabin, and could only see a white expanse, the sky and the earth were connected, without a trace of variegation. This is an inaccessible place on the top of the snowy mountain, and everyone feels that they are in a high place.

"Are you sure you want to go down?" Mr. Wei yelled behind his back.

Lin Xuan didn't look back, just raised his arm and waved, and then walked down the gangway firmly. The gangway was only lowered for a while, and it was already covered with thick ice flowers, causing the soles of Lin Xuan's feet to slip constantly.

His feet were on the solid ice, and his heart suddenly settled.

The world pursues a "down-to-earth" life, and the same is true for the rangers, after having enough safety, they can be down-to-earth, and they can be in the mood to carry out the next step.

He stopped and turned around, Mr. Wei waved at the hatch, and then the stainless steel gangway with ice chips slowly retracted.

Lin Xuan looked forward, the black fog still existed, and the head of the plane stopped between the black fog and the white ground.

"I'm coming." Lin Xuan muttered softly to himself, then stepped forward and walked into the black mist.

He didn't realize at the moment that the place where the plane was staying might not be the top of the Great Snow Mountain, but somewhere else. Otherwise, he would have suffered from altitude sickness from poor breathing. He was so tired that he couldn't seem to distinguish the details, and he just walked forward with his own courage.

Gradually, he walked into the depths of the thick fog, surrounded by floating black mist.

"Anyone? Who's there? He shouted, but no one answered.

This situation is very strange, if there is a trap on the ground in front of him, he will not see it at all, just like the ancients said, "A blind man rides a blind horse, and he is in a deep pool in the middle of the night".

"I'm here, since you summoned me, why didn't you show up to see me?" Lin Xuan shouted again.

He had a hunch that something must exist in the center of the black fog. Something will appear because of his arrival, to be exact. What happened next, though, was somewhat unexpected, as he saw a frozen male corpse. The corpse remained in a crawling position, its right arm raised high, and its five fingers reaching into the air as if it were about to grasp something.

The corpse's face had been covered in ice crystals, and its blue eyes had turned into stiff blue glass balls, not lifeless.

Lin Xuan knew that the climate on Mount Everest, which was 8,850 meters above sea level, was extremely harsh, and no matter how clever a mountaineer was, he was equal to a fragile little ant in the face of the bad temper of the Great Snow Mountain.

The maximum wind force at the summit can reach the strength of a hurricane, i.e. 189 kilometers per hour, and the temperature can reach minus 73 degrees Celsius. In addition, the oxygen content of the air here is two-thirds of the level at sea level. Since 2004, 2,000 people have made it to the summit, while 189 have lost their lives on the way. Of those, the bodies of about 120 people are still in place, serving as a terrible warning to future generations. The reason for not removing these scattered corpses is actually very simple, because it is really too difficult. Climbing Mount Everest is a physical challenge unmatched by any other sport in the world, and it takes so long to carry the dead down the mountain, and the whole team has to spend the night on the mountain, which is almost a complete suicide. Most of the bodies were scattered in the "Dead Zone", about 8,000 meters above sea level above the final base camp. No one has ever studied the specific cause of death, and fatigue and weather conditions are definitely two important factors. Most of the bodies were frozen instantly, and the rope was still wrapped around their waists.

Lin Xuan squatted down, pulled down the zipper of the deceased's mountaineering suit, and found an oval metal identity tag around the deceased's neck, engraved with the English "Harry? Rayson".

The name represents a famous American mountaineer, famous in the history of mountaineering around the world, but who disappeared in a snowstorm on Mount Everest twenty years ago.

"Why is the body here? And not on the way to the normal route of climbing Everest? Lin Xuan was a little puzzled.

In his opinion, this is the top of the Great Snow Mountain, and normal climbers will not come here, and there is no need for any climber to explore around the dangerous snow-capped mountains. It's all ice that lasts for tens of thousands of years, or it's a glacier crevasse or a gale wind tunnel, and the slightest negligence can kill you on the spot.

"Senior, no matter what you did in your lifetime, no matter why you came, please rest in peace now." Lin Xuan bowed to the corpse and put the identification card in his pocket at the same time, waiting for the opportunity to send it to Rayson's family in the future.

Next, Lin Xuan found three more corpses in a row, all of which were very famous figures in the history of mountaineering, namely Professor Simin of Cambridge University, Professor Poland of the University of Los Angeles in the United States, and African explorer Baratu.

Lin Xuan was repeatedly sure that the three deceased were wearing identity tags around their necks, their names were also embroidered on the collars of their underwear, and there were their own hiking logs in the pockets of their coats. All things considered, they are definitely Smin, Prand, and Balatu.

This discovery can cause a sensation in the global mountaineering community, because it was previously widely believed that the three men died in African mountaineering. Among them, Professor Simin's disappearance is just as sensational as the disappearance of Mallory and Owen many years ago.

Mallory is a secondary school teacher who graduated from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, and Owen is a third-year student at Oxford University. In 1924, these two outstanding alpine explorers, as the main members of the third British expedition to Mount Everest, disappeared while climbing Mount Everest from the Tibetan side of China. For more than 70 years, explorers have been working to unravel this mystery. In 1999, the United States sent a special alpine expedition to find the whereabouts of Mallory and Owen, and with the support of the Tibet Autonomous Region government, they went up the mountain along the northeast ridge from the Tibetan side of China, and finally found Mallory's body and relics, as well as the remains of 17 climbers who died while climbing Mount Everest from the Tibetan side for nearly 80 years since 1921.

After the disappearance of Professor Szimin, several British expeditions went to Africa, treading the mountains, but found nothing.

Another reason why Lin Xuan was surprised to find the remains of the above three celebrities was that these three people had always been interested in pursuing extraterrestrial life, and it was rumored in the industry that they had encountered extraterrestrial life in mountaineering activities in Africa and disappeared, probably flying to outer space and saying goodbye to the earth.

In the process of studying nature, it has become a common practice for human beings to blame almost all unsolvable events on extraterrestrial life.

"Maybe this time I'll encounter an unexpectedly huge problem-" Lin Xuan muttered to himself.

He is not afraid of losing his life, he just doesn't want to lose his life meaninglessly and waste his life in the blind advance.

Life belongs to man only once, and unconsciously, he recited the famous words of the Soviet writer Ostrovsky in the book "How Steel is Made": "The most precious thing of man is life, and life belongs to man only once." A person's life should be spent like this, and when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing. Thus, at the time of his death, he was able to say that my whole life and all my energies had been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the emancipation of mankind. ”

Standing next to the three corpses, he looked out into the middle of the black mist, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He had the courage to step off the plane, and he had the courage to walk into the middle of the black fog to see what was going on. Even in the face of death, he has no regrets.

Of course, he is also mortal, and it is impossible for him to live forever, and it is likely that he will die in the footsteps of Professor Simin at some point in the future.

"Well, there's no way around it, you can only move forward, not backward." Knowing this, Lin Xuan had no worries.

At this moment, he also thought of another woman who climbed Mount Everest - the American female mountaineer Frances? Asentif. It is recorded that before her death, her body became colder and colder, she had various hallucinations, and began to lose consciousness. The situation became so bad that two of her companions had no choice but to leave her. In that case, it's the only option. Later, in the mountaineering diary, two of her companions recorded her hysterical shouts at the time, "Pleasedonotle**eme!" "They feel guilty, but they don't have a choice. That happened in May 1998, Frances? Asentife became the first American woman to climb Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, but on the way down the mountain, she collapsed 244 meters below the mountain due to lack of oxygen. Ian, the South African mountaineer who spotted her at the time? Because Wodar did not save her alive, he has been condemned for many years by carrying the notoriety of "seeing death without saving her". For nine years, Frances's body remained in its original place and became a striking "signpost" for later climbers. In the end, the explorer Wodal, who was forced to give up saving Frances, returned to Mount Everest and risked his life to bury Frances's body, giving her the dignity she deserves as a human being.

In this world, men are mountains, standing on top of the sky; Women are water, nourishing all things.

Men and women have different goals and pursuits, and any male coward should be extremely ashamed of Arsentieff's presence.

In Mount Everest, the real man is always indomitable, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, so that all riddles can be solved.

Lin Xuan thought to himself, if he encountered those complicated and intractable knots, he would definitely come forward, endure hardships first, enjoy pleasures last, and do his best to let everyone around him live well. Only in this way can he die generously with confidence.

"I'm coming, and it's all going to end." Lin Xuan calmly finished saying this sentence and walked towards the darkness.
