Chapter 91: Waiting (1)
Annie did not descend the mountain, she stayed with some of the team in the second battalion. She asked people to bring back words, "My dream will never give up, please tell my father, I hope he understands me." ”
Gu Youli used a satellite phone in the team to connect with the captain's phone, and then talked to Annie for a long time, but finally failed to convince her. After hanging up the phone, Gu Youli said to Bai Zezhi:
"You guessed it, she wouldn't give up. Originally, she was supposed to go back to the first battalion and go up again tomorrow, but when she heard that we were coming, she refused to go down and insisted on staying in the second battalion. She said that she also hopes that through this summit challenge, his father can completely come out of the shadows. ”
Gu Youli paused for a while before he said to Bai Zezhi: "I only learned last night that this snow-capped mountain is the place where Annie's mother had an accident. ”
Bai Zezhi was speechless after hearing this, and finally just sighed softly.
"No, we'll wait here for them to come down the mountain, and then we'll go back together. It can be regarded as having an explanation. I don't think there's too much to worry about, the members of this expedition are all seniors, and the captain and one of the team members have climbed Mount Everest, and this peak is already a small case for them. And it's August, the weather is good, and there is no snow. Gu Youli said.
"I'll call Peter again in the evening and let him be relieved and not worry too much. It's just, can you adapt to it? It's so cold here, it's almost 5,000 meters above sea level, how do you breathe? Gu Youli carefully observed Bai Zezhi's face, for fear that something would happen to her.
"I'm fine, I've been living here for three months, in fact, it's you who have to worry about you!" Bai Zezhi raised his hand and shook it in front of Gu Youli's eyes, wanting to distract his gaze, "Are you okay?" ”
Gu Youli made a few movements to show his muscles, "Of course I'm fine!" You know why? ”
"Why?" Bai Zezhi asked.
"Because I am handsome, wise, and heroic......"
Bai Zezhi turned his head away and made a gesture of ignoring him.
Gu Youli chased her direction, turned to her and said with a smile: "Okay, in fact, I have received hypoxia training, and before I came, I did special training to adapt to altitude sickness." You see, I'm a solid, thoughtful, and impeccable. So, it's a man to rely on! ”
Gu Youli began to boast again.
At this time, they were standing outside the tent, and between their snorts, there was a cold thin air; Beneath your feet is the snow-capped earth; Looking up, you can see the vast and deep starry sky.
In this magnificent world, a tent is so small, a campfire is so small, and two people are so small. And the world in my heart can be as big as this heaven and earth.
Dawn was breaking in the east, and the bright stars in the pale blue sky were fading at this time. The snow-capped mountains are hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray. A new day has begun.
Bai Zezhi and Gu Youli, as well as a novice team member named Sen, were left in the camp, and the other team members were fully armed and set off for the second battalion. The Ukrainian came over to say goodbye to Gu and Bai very excitedly.
"Today we are going to the top, yesterday the captain and they have already explored the road and the rope has been laid. I was so excited, it was my first time climbing a 6,000-meter snow-capped mountain. We can get back to Camp 1 before dark, and you'll be able to see Annie then, don't worry! "At the end, I made an ok move.
The team members are gone, and only the three people they left behind are left.
Looking up at the summit next to it, there are clouds spewing out all the time, and on the lower peak on the other side, the snow on the surface looks like a soft marshmallow. Thinking like this in his heart, Bai Zezhi said it.
