Chapter 417: Base Camp No. 2
Darkness shrouded the valley, and Bi Fang turned on his headlamp, but it could only illuminate a meter or two in front of him.
The line of sight is very narrow.
At a height of 6,400 meters, Bi Fang was already in the clouds, and the narrowness of the range brought more cautious action, and the speed of climbing became slower.
There was no sound in the whole valley except the howling of the wind, no humans, no other living beings.
There were gradually few splashes in the live broadcast room, looking at Bi Fang moving forward step by step, the world was silent.
Bi Fang said, this is the Silent Valley?
That's not wrong at all.
Fang Xiang is a middle-aged man, neither successful nor unsuccessful, like every middle-aged man, he needs to take care of his parents, himself, and his children's three families, occasionally quarrel, and after a few days he gets back together, living a step-by-step life, with a constant salary.
He is not a fan of Bi Fang, and he never even watches live broadcasts, his only hobby is to brush up on short videos, watch the news, and occasionally post comments, the reason why he came here was that a few days ago, an avalanche news attracted him, looking at the live broadcast that he had always disgraced, Fang Xiang was deeply immersed in it at this time.
At this moment, it is as if the souls of all people have come to the Himalayas, thousands of kilometers away, and sit quietly in the middle of this world.
Because of the quietness, all who could perceive the movement of the wind, the wind brought distant sounds, the swaying of the mountains and forests, the howling of the mountain gods, and several kilometers away, patches of spring flowers swayed, slowly rising under the soil, and the snowflakes silently condensed into ice.
His hair was gray, the moonlight shimmered, and in the distance outside the window was a cold lake, and he imagined that he walked barefoot into the water, startling the sleeping fish, and the streamer merged into the sea, and the waves rose and fell silently......
I want to travel.
Fang Xiang reopened his eyes, but he thought of his wife who quarreled every day, his son who worked far away in other provinces, and the old man who was old and inconvenient, and sighed silently.
Suddenly, a dark yellow skeleton appeared in Fang Xiang's sight, startling him out of his fantasy, his hand retreated again and again, and his phone fell to the ground, until he fell to the edge of the bed before he came back to his senses.
A cold sweat had soaked through the undershirt.
Fang Xiang gasped, his eyes were bloodshot, and he picked up the mobile phone on the ground tremblingly, and found that the skeleton was not reality, but on Mount Everest, thousands of kilometers away.
Not only him, but hundreds of thousands of viewers were all surprised, and even broke out in a cold sweat, and even the devotees screamed.
The first-person immersive experience is aesthetically pleasing, but when you're in danger, it's fucked up.
Through a hat and an oxygen mask, a corpse emerges in a narrow field of vision.
Imagine that the headlamp can only illuminate a meter or two in front of you, except for the howling of the wind, the world is silent and beautiful, and suddenly, through the hat and oxygen mask, you see a corpse that has been blown apart by the wind in this narrow field of vision.
Being able to close the flood discharge valve is already a sign of strong self-control.
Even Bi Fang himself was bluffed, especially when he might be the only one left on the entire mountain.
The upper part of the corpse's torso was pale and exposed, leaving only one arm and one leg intact.
Bi Fang got closer and found that there were scars on the clothes on the corpse's waist, and after thinking about it, he guessed: "It should be tied together with his companions through ropes, but they fell off the cliff together and died." ”
The corpse leaned on the backpack with its eyes wide open, as if an invisible gaze was gathered on everyone, which made people shudder, and the hair of the stone was condensed in the wind and snow.
Years of howling winds and bitter cold stripped the corpse of its skin and hair, making it a terrifying corpse.
"Get used to it, climbers can easily see the bodies of the climbers in front of them at high altitudes, especially on the 7,000-meter net, there will be corpses almost everywhere you look, and there will be more up."
[Woo woo, I'm going home, Mom]
[I almost scared my master to pee just now]
The corpse was just an episode that gave the audience a glimpse of the dangers of Mount Everest, but this did not prevent Bi Fang from climbing the mountain, and finally, at 7:37, the No. 2 base camp appeared in front of everyone.
Camp 2 is located in a huge valley where many teams take a two-day break to get used to the new altitude and then continue climbing.
But because it is a valley, the wind and snow here are not only not small, but bigger, the cold wind is like a knife, whirring into Bi Fang's clothes, and even the line of sight has become narrower, and you have to go in to see whether the tent is completely dismantled.
Unfortunately, the people of Camp 2 seem to be gone, and almost all the tents, large and small, have been dismantled and stoned.
"As I said before when choosing a camp, valleys and caves are not suitable for camping because this kind of terrain becomes a nest of wind at night."
[Why?] Shouldn't this place be surrounded by mountain walls, and shouldn't it be blocked from the wind? 】
The audience looked at the nearby peaks and did not understand very much.
"The one that can block the wind is not called a valley, it is a small pit, but where it is a valley, it is impossible to block the wind, and the wind here is geographically called the valley wind, which is because of this terrain."
"During the alternation of day and night, there is a temperature difference between the slopes and the valley due to solar radiation. The difference in temperature brings about the density and pressure difference of the atmosphere near the surface, and the pressure gradient force will push the air flow from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, which is the cause of the formation of valley winds. ”
"And you should know that for every 100 meters of height increase in clear weather, the temperature drops by 1 to 2 degrees, and in addition, the clouds are like a warm blanket, and if you are in the middle of the clouds or even above, the temperature drops even more."
Bi Fang found a crack, didn't pay much attention to it, pulled the snow apart, made a simple snow nest, and then took out a thin blanket from the backpack and rolled it up on his body, using the backpack as a pillow, and actually planned to rest like this.
[, just sleeping? 】
[Ruthless]
[I remember that the old party said that he didn't seem to bring a sleeping bag]
[I'm so cold when I sleep in the park, let alone here. 】
[The brothers in front have a story? What's the matter, I was kicked out by my wife? 】
[I was warned by my wife's divorce, and I said that I was a Puxin man, woo woo]
[Ahhhhh
Bi Fang fully zipped up his clothes, covering half of his face, and pulled the thermal mask a little tighter, and hummed: "The cold can damage our internal organs, so be sure to cover your nose and mouth with a scarf or something similar, so that you will be slightly warmer before inhaling air." ”
"In addition, there is also a risk of hypothermia and frostbite in the severe cold zone, you must make sure that your body temperature is normal, you should pay attention to keeping warm on the outside, and you can also get heat by eating inside, okay, that's all for today's live broadcast, sleep first, and there will be a tough battle to fight at Camp 3 tomorrow."
Saying that, Bi conveniently closed the live broadcast with the reluctance of the audience.
Leaned against the rocks and fell asleep.
