Chapter 405: Mountaineering Season Cancelled

"Get out, get away! Get lost! ”

As soon as the people claiming to be members of the mountaineering association arrived, they kicked the reporters who looked like dogskin plasters, and these reporters were not on the 5,000-meter plateau, and the short sprint just now was even more violently consumed, and they fell to the ground and gasped for breath after being pushed a few times.

Seeing that a few people were about to get up, the association personnel didn't have time to introduce their identities and pulled Bi Fang and the others back to the camp, until they entered the tent.

"Mr. Bi, you're finally back!" The leading member of the association, Taiis, said a little eagerly, his appearance is somewhat similar to that of traditional Nepalese, short stature, and he speaks anxiously but clearly, "I am Taiis, the secretary of the Nepal Mountaineering Association, this avalanche incident happened suddenly, and the losses were even more heavy, several of us are the only members of the association who are currently staying in the base camp, thank you for your contribution to the mountaineers, but the rescue team has not yet officially arrived, I have watched the ......."

"Just say it, what do you need me to do?" The priorities of the matter are still clear, and I also know what the other party roughly means.

"I want you to elaborate on the scene when the avalanche happened, and the time is urgent, and we want you to organize the rescue first." Taiys spoke quickly, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.

This is really too much to ask, save people?

How to save?

Will a secondary avalanche occur? A large avalanche can even alter the terrain and confuse the less experienced guides, and the crevasses in the glaciers that are so masked are like swords hanging over their heads.

In the eyes of many people, it is already benevolent and righteous to pull down the mountain along the way.

There is no way, Mount Everest has been plagued by natural disasters in the past ten years, and the network is developing more and more rapidly, and the whole earth can know about something, if this incident cannot be effectively handled, it may lead to a huge impact on future tourism development.

Don't underestimate the economic effect of Mount Everest on Nepal, how many people climb the mountain is one thing, at least thousands of people spend money to buy a certificate every year, maybe less than half of them come, but at least one person spends seventy or eighty thousand ugly knives, not to mention the consumption of coming to Nepal, these people alone are hundreds of millions of economic income, not to mention those who simply come to travel.

In addition, Mount Everest is not developing smoothly because of the surrounding problem and the opposition of the Sherpas, if something goes wrong this time, it will be a weighing blow to the local development, no one comes to climb the mountain, and the tourism industry cannot develop, then there is no need for their mountaineering association to exist.

But rescue is not so easy to do, the more extreme the environment, the more so, from the risk assessment to the rescue efficiency, it is undoubtedly not a big problem, too anxious problem may be greater.

In this context, Bi Fang's appearance is undoubtedly a lifesaver in the eyes of the Mountaineering Association!

There is another important reason, the other party is live broadcasting! An epic global streamer!

Rescue is difficult, professionals can understand, but laymen can't, people just think that you don't care about the life of the climber, and the climber is almost all rich, and it is impossible to empathize, so the situation is even worse.

After listening to Taiys's words, the audience also understood why the other party was so eager to let a traveler who survived from the avalanche take the lead in the rescue organization.

[This is treating Fang Shen as a life-saving straw]

[Awesome, I guess no one can use it]

[The main old party behaved well, who would have thought that the avalanche was coming, not to mention that he could survive, and he could bring his teammates with him]

[If those two climbers don't run, they have already achieved supergod achievement]

Indeed, whether in terms of ability or courage, Bi Fang's execution ability under the vast natural disaster this time is extremely high, and he can even rescue others along the way to send his teammates down the mountain, and when the terrain and route have changed, he will go down the mountain again with experience and ability to open the way.

Proficient in first aid, non-human, knowledgeable, experienced, even the organizational ability is also remarkable, the rescue is the faster the better, on the vast Mount Everest, without any helper, there is no such person to be caught to be a strong man at all.

How can you assess the danger and understand it with someone who has experienced it firsthand?

No matter how experienced you are, are there many people who can open up a path?

At this point, how can Bi Fang refuse?

He didn't say a word and nodded.

"But it's not enough for me, I need helpers, and the seriously injured need to be carried down the mountain, not too many people, but at least five or six good hands, preferably Sherpas, and some equipment for me, including sleds, snow shovels, probe rods, and stretchers." Bi Fang said in a deep voice, as he spoke, and wrote down the list and handed it to the other party.

"Well said!" Seeing that the other party agreed, Taiis was overjoyed, "Behind me are all native-born Sherpas, and they are all young and strong, under six thousand meters, two people can even carry one person down the mountain!" And I have a good helper here. ”

"Helper?"

Without waiting for him to wonder, Tyis whistled, a dog barked, and a large white-skinned and brown-backed dog burrowed in from the bottom of the tent.

"St. Bernard!" Bi Fang said in surprise.

【Dogs?】 】

[Looks like a rescue dog, right?] 】

[St. Bernard, so familiar]

[What kind of dog is this, why have I never seen it in China]

"This is my friend, Barry, who used to be a rescue dog, but retired the year before last due to injuries and was later adopted by me." This St. Bernard was raised by Tyris himself, and when the avalanche occurred, several of their association members and Barry were staying at an altitude of more than 4,000 altitudes, and while talking about being a search and rescue dog, Tyrese was even a little proud.

The audience was puzzled by Bi Fang's excitement, and while Taiys went out to prepare equipment, Bi Fang explained a little.

St. Bernard was originally a guard dog in a monastery in the Swiss Alps, and became a guide dog because of his excellent ability to recognize the way, but the Alps also had frequent snowstorms, and the monks took them to save people, and it turned out that the St. Bernard guide dog had extremely strong search and rescue capabilities, strong sense of smell and towing ability, and became a world-famous snow mountain search and rescue dog.

However, with the development of the times, Snow Mountain Rescue became a helicopter, and St. Bernard gradually disappeared from this industry, becoming a family dog and a nanny dog, Bi Fang did not expect that he would one day return to the "tradition".

[Awesome, but I've never seen it]

Bi Fang scratched his eyebrows, this matter was embarrassing.

Saint Bernard is the national dog of Ruitu, but after it was introduced, many people valued his characteristics of less disease, fast growth, and much longer, and became a meat dog.

The national dog becomes a meat dog, can this Ruitu endure it?

"So Seotu intervened and banned St. Bernard's export to countries that eat dog meat."

Audience: "......"

At this time, Taiis also came back from outside, and he used his status as a member of the association to borrow first-aid equipment from the personnel who were still in the base camp, and it didn't take long to borrow the supplies that Bi Fang wanted.

"Alright, time is running out, we're going to hurry up and set off again."

Seeing that everything was ready, Bi Fang didn't talk much nonsense, took St. Bernard by the hand, loaded all the medical equipment, and boarded it again with the men prepared by Taiis.

Yao Jun and Jarrett stayed in the base camp and underwent full treatment along with the other wounded.

Coming forward to look at the Great Snow Mountain again, Bi Fang squinted.

According to Taiis's information, it was clear that there were a total of four rescue teams located on the Khumbu Glacier last night, with a total of 36 people, and it is unknown whether there are others, what Bi Fang has to do is to try to rescue these trapped people as much as possible.

There was a descent and rescue heart, and the danger level of this operation was not too high.

The only problem is......

Will the Mountaineering Association and Nepal Tourism Board cancel the climbing season?

This is not a delusional idea, but something that has actually happened, and Everest was canceled during the window for reasons such as encirclement problems, hazard assessment problems, and even more disaster problems.

After the 14-year avalanche, Nepal canceled the 2014 Mountaineering Festival to mourn the death of colleagues who died in the previous avalanche accident.

Not for 15 years, because it was a big earthquake, and even if it wasn't canceled, no one would dare to climb the mountain again.

This time the situation is almost exactly the same, which makes Bi Fang very worried, so he will not hesitate to agree to the rescue, the purpose is to brush the association's favorability, in case this really happens, it can be spoken, and at the same time reduce casualties, and strive to minimize the impact.

Holding the leash, Bi Fang gathered his mind and said to the Sherpa behind him.

"Let's go, save people!"

......

The Nepal Mountaineering Association confirmed on May 3 that the avalanche on Mount Everest triggered on the same day caused part of Camp No. 1 to be buried, killing 6 people and injuring at least 30 others. At the time of the incident, there were hundreds of climbers and guides at the base camp in this area, and they could not be contacted at this time. ”

"The Nepal Mountaineering Association confirmed last night that the area hit by the avalanche is between the Khumbu Glacier caused by the collapse of snow and ice and the base camp of the base. He said the exact details of the avalanche were unclear and that communications between the climber's base camp and other areas of Mount Everest were intermittent. ”

"Nepal Police Chief Chandra Dev Rai said that there were about 700 climbers in the Sorukumbu area of Mount Everest at that time, of which 300 were supposed to be at base camp at the base, 200 at base camp 1, and about four climbing teams on the Khumbu glacier."

......

"In this avalanche on Mount Everest, the famous adventurer and professional anchor Bi Fang was also at the scene, and he got in touch again within less than ten minutes of losing contact, and showed a textbook-level self-rescue on the spot, and at the same time, at the first moment of the disaster, Bi Fang was in danger, not only able to keep a cool head, but also to choose the most correct way to save himself, and won a precious chance to survive for himself and his teammates."

"Except for the two guides who left alone, the team led by Bi Fang was almost unscathed, and went down the mountain in the early morning of the fourth day, regardless of personal safety, rescued more than a dozen people along the way, and successfully saved the lives of two seriously injured people, and what is more admirable is that after going down the mountain, invited by the mountaineering association, led the locals to carry out two or even three rescues, and together with the rescue dog Barry, successfully brought the seriously injured down the base camp to be treated, and at the same time excavated two other teams, fans jokingly called them disaster victims and rescue professionals."

"At 4:37 p.m. on the same day, the rescue helicopter successfully arrived, under the command and leadership of Bi Fang, the rescue operation was carried out in an orderly manner, and this Bi Fang embodied not only the responsibility and responsibility of the outstanding ability, but also the spirit of the Chinese sons and daughters, which is ......"

"At the moment, the two tents at the base camp of the Everest base camp are already crowded with the wounded, and the secretary of the Mountaineers Association, Tyis, has claimed: 'The casualty toll may continue to rise', and this report is here for the time being."

......

Early in the morning of May 5th.

Bi Fang opened his eyes tiredly, and Barry on the side seemed to notice something, got up and licked Bi Fang's palm.

"Hmm......"

Sighing and sitting up from the bed, from the early morning avalanche of the night before, until yesterday evening, Bi Fang did not have a good rest, after the success of self-rescue, he took Yao Jun and the two down the mountain, and then went up the mountain again, and then went down the mountain again, and when the rescue team arrived, he took them to the safety route again, re-erected the aluminum ladder and lifting rope, and was able to come back to rest after the handover.

It is estimated that the rescue team has not rested last night, however, the route has been given to the rescue team to go out, the rescue efficiency has increased greatly, and Bi Fang's memory is very good, the road that was walked through last night, although the terrain may have changed, but after three or two confirmations, the original road can also be restored, although it may not be the agreed route, but this also gives the rescue a basis and reference.

After a day's hard work and the rescue team's three helicopters, four professional search and rescue teams all night of struggle, the personnel of the Khumbu Glacier have all been brought out, as for the rescue of the No. 1 base camp, there is not too much to worry about, one is that there is only a part of the burial, the whole belongs to the platform, the rescue is convenient, the other is that there are many people, from the mountaineer guide to the medical attendant, the rescue speed is very fast.

From the end of the work to the end, the loss was reduced to a minimum within 24 hours, which can be called the limit of the rescue speed of the snow mountain.

Looking up at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

I don't know if the news of Taiis's inquiry has come back, but the current death toll on the Khumbu Glacier is six, which is almost the same as the previous case, which makes Bi Fang very worried.

Looking up at the outside of the tent, through the sunlight, you could see some figures, it was a reporter who was still trying to get the news, but unfortunately was stopped by other climbers.

Although these people lack professionalism, they can still help with small things.

Just when Bi Fang was thinking nonsense, the tent curtains were suddenly opened, Taiys's face was a little ugly, and he was a little surprised when he saw Bi Fang wake up, and hurriedly led the man forward.

"Are you awake?"

"Hmm." Bi Fang nodded, "How's the situation?" ”

Taiys knew what Bi Fang was asking, lowered his head and sighed, and Bi Fang's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

"The association appreciates very much what you have done, but ......"

"The climbing season is canceled."
