Camp 1 is about 5,900 meters above sea level, and it is an empty ice and snow world, and there are many traces of glacier erosion nearby. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info At night, the ice cracked and the glacier made a low sound, a bit like the voice of the North Sea Giant Demon that Su Le had heard.

Robin and Max still arranged for everyone to pitch their tents farther away from the campsite. Su Le finally couldn't help it this time, "What the hell is going on with you, why are you so far away from the place where others are setting up tents?" ”

"Uh...... Xiaole, let's tell you everything, in fact, we came to climb the mountain illegally. Because the regular mountaineering team needs permission from the Nepalese government, we didn't pay the fee to save money, so we didn't get the permit. ”

Seeing Su Le's attitude, Robin knew that she couldn't hide it this time, she lowered her head and confessed everything to Su Le embarrassedly.

Max continued: "In addition, the average climber needs to hire porters, guides, tour leaders, cooks, and pay government liaison officers who accompany the team. Miss Robin couldn't afford that much expense. ”

After hearing this, Su Le only thought for a second before saying, "Sure enough, I still can't continue to play with you, but thanks to you, I also saw such a magnificent natural scenery, and it was not in vain." Let's separate here, and I wish you success in your ascent to the top. ”

After saying that, Su Le is leaving, and generally speaking, going down the mountain is more challenging, because of the lack of physical strength and relaxation, the tragedy of most climbers occurs when going down the mountain. There are reports that a quarter of people over the age of 60 who successfully reach the summit of Mount Everest die on the way down.

However, there should be no problem for Su Le to go down the mountain, one is that the altitude is not high now, and in addition, Su Le's light body technique is more helpful when going down the mountain, if it is replaced by Athena, it is possible to run down the mountain.

But before he could walk away, Su Le was hugged by Robin's thigh and begged bitterly: "You know that we haven't spent much money all the time, and we don't usually have the habit of making money, so we have very little savings." This summit is very important for me to regain my self-confidence, so you can help my sister, and I will give you lots and lots of tears of the moon as compensation. ”

"Lives are gone, and it's useless how many Moon Tears there are. Besides, you are such a genius, is it the same with me or not with me? ”

Su Le still insisted on leaving. However, at this time, Lisa and Max also came up to grab Su Le, coupled with Till's bitter pleading, Su Le couldn't get out even if he had three heads and six arms.

Under the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the four women, Su Le finally gave in, and he gave up going down the mountain and decided to continue climbing to try it.

Camp 2 is the forward camp, about 6,500 meters above sea level, in the col west of Lhotse, and it is only a short time to get from Camp 1.

It is rocky, and because there is no strong wind, it is also known as the Valley of Silence. White clouds from the southern Himalayas often burrow into the valley and permeate the tents, and on a clear day, the valley is unusually hot. This is the last place where climbers can make a fire to cook, and Thiel is in charge of cooking, just after processing the ingredients, and then only convenience food can be eaten.

Camp 3 is located on a mountain platform about 7,500 meters above sea level, which is relatively steep and dangerous, and Su Le and Robin did not stop here, but went directly to the last camp, Camp 4.

At an altitude of about 7,950 meters, Camp 4 on the South Slope is the highest camp on the southern route to challenge Mount Everest, also known as the "Forbidden Zone for Life" or "Death Zone". Climbers can only stay here for two to three days, waiting for the time to reach the summit, which consists of two main elements: good weather and low winds. If you're lucky, the window of opportunity to reach the summit opens, and climbers begin their final ascent around eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

"The weather is good, it must be because of Xiaole." Robin said as he stood on Camp Four.

Su Le didn't think that it had anything to do with him, but thought that Robin was too superstitious. However, he didn't bother to complain about Robin, but asked Max, "Why is there no one here?" ”

"It's not the peak season yet, and most climbers are preparing in Kathmandu. Now there are people who are coming up at the same time as us, for example, some people are still experiencing life in Sherpa villages, or adapting to altitude sickness. The second is that you don't necessarily want to climb to the top, maybe you just go to Camp 4 to have a look, and you feel that you don't have a chance to go down. ”

After Max explained to Su Le, he discussed with Robin again: "Let's rest here today, it's more appropriate for us to hit the peak tomorrow." ”

"You're an expert, just do what you want." Robin agrees to Max's plan.

So everyone set up tents to rest, and considering the matching of men and women and body types, the three tents were distributed in this way: one tent for Robin and Lisa, one tent for Tyr and Max, and one tent for Sule himself.

Su Le was very bored alone in the tent, and could only think about the girls in Ninghai Jingsha, mainly Ya Lifu and Shulan. In fact, Ya Lifu was also thinking about Su Le, and she always felt that Su Le's trip would not be so smooth in the past few days.

……

At the same time, after eating some delicious dinner at Shulan's room in Ninghai Retreat, Ya Litao was chatting with Athena. On the one hand, I also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ninghai Lake under the bright moon.

"What time is it? How long has Sule been in Nepal? Ya Lifu asked suddenly.

Athena replied, "It's only April 24th, and it's been less than two weeks since Sule left. ”

"Really? How do I feel like it's been a long, long time. Ya Lifu said in a bit of a trance.

"That's a psychological effect, I don't see it for a day, like every three autumns."

In fact, Athena didn't feel that time passed slowly, but Su Le told her to take good care of Yaria before leaving, so she could only say that.

Since Su Le left, Ya Lito's state has deteriorated significantly. The reason is not clear, it may be the sequelae of extreme overdraft of magic in Kilauea Volcano, which has happened before, and it is an old problem of Yarito.

However, it is also possible that Ya Lifu is just in a bad mood, and according to the Oriental saying, it is even possible that she will be punished for leaking too many heavenly machines, after all, the heavenly machines cannot be leaked.

Seeing that Yarito didn't speak, Athena proposed, "Tomorrow the weather is nice, let's go out for a walk, it's not good for your health to stay in the house all the time, and it will make the passage of time feel slower." ”

Ya Lifu still didn't speak, just quietly looked at the bright moon outside the window, thinking that maybe Su Le was also looking at the same moon in the Himalayas.

……

It was only after the sun rose on the morning of April 25 that Robin's climbing party set out. Because she was confident that she would be able to reach the summit soon, she did not set off late at night like a typical mountaineering team.

Max leads the way, and her gear is the most professional. This is followed by Robin and Lisa, Robin can control the water and ice, she will pave the way for herself and those behind her in the more difficult places, and Lisa will sometimes help Robin modify the pavement.

Thiel and Sule are at the end and are in charge of dealing with the unexpected. Su Le, in particular, can control his weight almost freely, and he is comprehensive. If someone slipped down from it, he could almost 100% avoid a dangerous situation.
