Chapter 52: The Mountaineering Team is in Distress

I bowed to the corpses in a proper manner, and continued my journey towards the heart of the snowy mountains. The thick snow www.biquge.info barely reached my knees, and the raging blizzard and the cold wind made it difficult to feel the cold, but the weather really affected my progress. From time to time, snowflakes would fall into my mouth and nose, making me very uncomfortable.

According to my current calculations, it is almost four-fifths of the way through, and in a while you will reach the top of the mountain, but not to mention the snowman along the way, not even a snow fox has been seen, and the whole snowy peak seems to be a lifeless grave.

I found a relatively large rock, hid behind it to rest for a while, by the way, I made the last preparations before reaching the summit, don't look at only about one seamless road, but this fifth is the most difficult section of the whole mountain, full of vertical rock walls and steep rocks, after the baptism of wind and frost in some places there is a thick layer of ice, very smooth, which also brings great difficulty to climbing.

I was heartbroken, and I cheered myself up, "What is there to be afraid of? What if you can't climb up, you can't die if you fall down anyway, so it's better to play bungee jumping. After saying this, I suddenly felt a lot relieved, took a breath and set off on the journey again.

I took a general look at the rest of the road and found that the rest of the road can be roughly divided into three steps, the first of which is relatively simple, the second is the most difficult, the third is okay, after three flights of steps, there is a flat ground, and finally you go diagonally up to the top of the mountain.

Although I can easily fly over these three steps, but out of the passion of a young man, I still plan to step out of a road, but the good times did not last long, the first step just turned halfway, I slipped my hand and fell down and broke a leg, fortunately, my body's healing ability is very strong, it didn't take long to recover as before, I smiled luckily, glad that I was no longer human, finally, more than two hours later I successfully climbed the first step.

Standing on the first step of the heart seems to have a condescending and relaxed feeling, after such a long trek, the night has quietly fallen, I breathe a sigh of relief, the night sky of the snow-capped mountains is far from comparable to the big city, although the snow wind is still raging, but it does not affect my elegance at all, after all, the starry sky here is very intoxicating. It wasn't until the moon had turned half a circle that I came to my senses and continued to walk towards the second step.

After walking about ten meters forward, I reached the foot of the second layer of steps, I just wanted to jump up and grab the two protruding stones, but unfortunately I got a large piece of snow at once, and slid directly down from me, and the snow that slid down did not stop there, but like a childhood snowball, the snow around me rolled bigger and bigger, and then fell directly from the third step, and then made a dull sound, fortunately, the sound was not very loud.

I wanted to repeat the action just now, but I didn't take two steps, I saw a stiffened red cloth on the swept snow, I pulled it, and the soft snow around it was shaken aside, and then revealed two frozen corpses, the corpses looked like they had been for many years, but because the temperature here was extremely low, it didn't rot, but it dried up a lot, it was estimated that it couldn't climb the second step, and it couldn't go down, so it led to being trapped here to death.

I picked up a corpse and shook it out, and after a while, the snow around it slipped away, revealing a blue tent that had already been flattened, I reached out and dragged the tent over, and I could see that there seemed to be something in the tent, I opened the zipper and poured out the contents of the tent, I didn't expect this expedition team to be quite professional, from the most basic flashlight, hiking boots, to ice axe lifelines, it can be said that everything is available, in addition, there are a lot of high-calorie food and necessary daily necessities.

Eventually, I came to the conclusion that these people were probably not trapped to death, but because of the vagaries of the local weather, which caused them to be hit by an avalanche while camping that night, and eventually survived.

Although their mountaineering plan failed, their spirit of courage to explore is worth learning from, I picked up a shovel board in the tent, found a relatively flat place, dug a pit and buried them here, and then piled up a grave bag, and found a striking stone with an ice axe and engraved a few words: Exploration heroes who challenge the limits of human beings.

When I was done, I picked up a backpack and slapped the snow down. I glanced at the items left behind by the expedition and thought for a moment about the ice axe, shovel board, a piece of rope, a flashlight, and a piece of dried bacon. It's just that I hesitated for a while when thinking about the flashlight, after all, my eyes have strong night vision, and I don't need to hold it at all, but I think about the possibility of fire, and I don't carry fire on me, so I decided to bring a flashlight. As for bacon, I don't eat it, but I want to eat it for the awakened animals from hibernation, luring them away from my surroundings, and I don't want to kill innocents.

After packing all this, I started a new journey, the second staircase, and when I got closer, I finally realized why even professional mountaineering teams couldn't climb this place. From a distance, the second staircase is just a little higher, but it is not, and there is a fatal obstacle here besides the height, which is steepness. The bottom of the second layer of steps and the top of the first layer of steps form an acute angle, so if you want to go up from here, you must use an ice axe to insert a little bit into the rock crevice and hang your body to climb to the top, and then lower the rope from the top to lead the rest of the team members to climb up, so the choice of the first person is particularly important, because climbing up with an ice axe requires that this person's arm strength must be strong enough, otherwise there is a possibility of falling down and dying at any time when you climb halfway. There is no signal here, it is sparsely populated, isolated and finally encountering an avalanche, which makes people feel a little desolate when they think about it.

I was different, my arm strength and muscle density improved dramatically, and even if I fell, it didn't hurt me, so I started climbing in my own way. I first jumped hard, and the two ice axes in my hand were inserted into the crevice.
