Chapter 90: Companions (2)
Walking through the canyon, you can sometimes hear the clatter of glaciers hitting rocks. Glaciers flow, but canyons are so narrow that glaciers hit rocks with such a clicking sound. The Ukrainians said that this is also dangerous, "The weather is good, and our luck is good, but we still have to be careful, you two have to follow." ”
Out of the canyon, there is a cliff. There are ropes hanging from the cliffs, which were left for them by their teammates in front. They were going to climb up along the rope, Bai Zezhi looked at the long vertical rope, and thought to herself, she had never climbed this before, and she didn't know what to do.
Gu Youli looked at her with concern and asked, "Can you do it?" The Ukrainians also stared at her.
Bai Zezhi gritted his teeth and nodded, "I can." "If it doesn't work, there's no turning back, she doesn't want to be a burden, she has to climb up.
With the help of the Ukrainians and Gu Youli, Bai Zezhi climbed up smoothly, and the Ukrainians gave her a thumbs up. Gu Youli smiled and said in her ear: "He's praising you, saying that it's amazing to have such a performance like you when you climb the cliff for the first time." ”
“goodjob!” Then Ukraine gave Bai Zezhi a thumbs up again.
“thankyou!” Bai Zezhi said with a smile.
Moving on, the Ukrainians told them that there was a large ice field ahead and that they should be careful of the ice crevices. There are many ice crevasses hidden in the ice field, some of which are only one zhang wide and some are even hundreds of zhang wide. Fortunately, there was no snow, otherwise the snow would have quickly obscured the ground and made it difficult to judge.
The Ukrainian and another team member took out a rope and connected the four of them together, carefully advancing. Experienced Ukrainians walk for a while and knock on the ice with tools to find hidden crevices in the ice. Fortunately, everything went well, and they passed through the ice crevasse without any problems.
Walking out of the ice crevasse, the terrain ahead gradually flattened. Turning over a gentle slope, there is an open area. They saw several red tents in the distance, and the first battalion had arrived.
However, they still didn't find Annie. The two members who remained in the first battalion said that Annie had gone to the second battalion with the captain and the other members. The Ukrainians spread their hands at Gu Youli and Bai Zezhi and said, "There is no way, I have to wait." ”
Bai Zezhi said regretfully: "I still haven't caught up." ”
After they replenished some food, Gu Youli let Bai Zezhi rest in the tent, and he went to talk to the team members. After learning some about the situation, Gu Youli came back and told Bai Zezhi:
"Originally, there was only one intermediate battalion, but the terrain of this mountain peak is more complicated, so there are two intermediate battalions, the first battalion and the second battalion. Although they had climbed the 6,000-meter mountain before, the terrain was more complicated, so they were more cautious. They have already used their mobile phones and walkie-talkies to get in touch with the front, and they will come down in the evening. There's no need to rush. ”
"That's good, I'm about to see Annie. Can you convince her? Bai Zezhi has a feeling that things may not be so simple.
"I've seen her a few times at Peter's, and we're getting along pretty well, and I think I should be able to convince her."
"I find it difficult." Bai Zezhi shook his head, "It's all at the foot of the mountain, and completing the summit is a low-hanging fruit, if you ask her to give up at this time, will she agree?" If it's in the base camp, it's a little more likely, she's in the second camp now, how can she be willing to return? ”
Gu Youli nodded, "It sounds unlikely." Alas, let's do our best. I'll call Peter later in the evening to report on the situation. ”
At dusk, there were members of the team coming down from the mountain, but there was no annie.
