Chapter 226: What Is It Like To Run At Night on Mount Everest In Winter?

When Xiao Ning completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the members of the Red Bull mountaineering team returned to the tent one after another.

What is it like to retreat from Everest Advance Camp single-handedly on a single person at night in winter?

Everyone seems to be thinking about this kind of question at this time.

But it is clear that the issue has gone beyond the norm.

Because no one in the room had ever had such an experience.

Even Yin Feng, the captain of the professional four-person mountaineering team who was responsible for helping Xiao Ning carry equipment to the summit this time, had never heard of anyone in the mountaineering circle of the Dragon Kingdom who had such an experience.

Because Yin Feng was the person with the most experience in mountaineering and summiting Mount Everest among the people present, not long after Xiao Ning left, someone talked to him from time to time and asked about something.

The content of the questions is varied, but to summarize the core words, what everyone wants to ask is actually what is the danger of Xiao Ning's trip, and whether Xiao Ning will encounter danger.

Regarding everyone's doubts and worries, Yin Feng's reply is like this-

"Everyone should know the difficulty of activities on Mount Everest in winter, although today is not officially above the snow line, but you should have experienced how much the season affects mountaineering during the journey to the camp."

"Everyone should know how difficult it is to move on Mount Everest at night, except for the light source in our camp, the rest of the place is pitch black."

"You should also know the difficulty of the glacier route and ice tower forest from the camp to the camp, and you have walked through it today, so you don't need to talk about it, right?"

"In winter, when you retreat from the advance camp to the transition camp at night, you still carry a man on your back......"

"If each of these items is taken out separately as a difficulty BUFF, then Xiao Ning has almost stacked all the buffs that can increase the difficulty on this trip."

After Yin Feng finished talking about this.

The expressions of everyone present were stunned.

At this time, Yin Feng spoke again.

"I know what everyone is thinking, it's just that I'm worried about whether Xiao Ning will be able to reach the camp safely under such a difficult situation."

"If I hadn't seen Xiao Ning's exaggerated physical fitness during the day today, I would have been the one who was most worried about Xiao Ning among us if I knew more about the situation on Mount Everest."

"But today I came up with Xiao Ning during the day, and watched him carry a person up with ease......

"I don't think there's any need to worry."

Yin Feng paused, and then said: "Because his physical fitness is strong enough, what difficulties such as winter, high-altitude retreat, etc., are actually useless to him." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, with Xiao Ning's physical fitness, you can't find a stronger one than him in the entire Dragon Country mountaineering team."

"The only thing to worry about is his vision along the way, but since Red Bull has prepared so many high-lumen lighting flashlights for him, I don't think there should be too much to worry about."

"Let's wait for the good news."

Although after Yin Feng said this, everyone in the tent had a bottom in their hearts.

However, in order to determine the safety of Xiao Ning and Xiao Ma, Team Sun still arranged special manpower to call Xiao Ning through the intercom device every once in a while.

The first time I called Xiao Ning, I quickly replied.

The second time I called Xiao Ning, there was no problem.

However, when Xiao Ning was called for the third time, the forward camp side not only learned that Xiao Ning had retreated to the ice tower forest area of the East Rongbu Glacier with the camera brother pony, but also got an additional information from the tone of the other party's speech.

Because the other party was a little out of breath when he spoke, in addition, there was an obvious wind in the voice from the walkie-talkie.

Throughout the day.

From the base camp to the advance camp, Xiao Ning didn't catch his breath during the whole process!

Everyone else was flushed and uncomfortable, and their legs were filled with lead, but in the process of rising during the day, Xiao Ning was just sweating......

But now he's gasping for breath!

That's not a good sign!

Could it be that the mountain breeze at night increases the consumption of physical energy?

It's possible!

Xiao Ning went up the mountain under weight throughout the day, although there was a rest during the period, but that kind of short rest was obviously not enough for people to fully recover!

Wouldn't it be physically exhausted due to the wind on the way down?

That's going to go a big way!

But......

According to the forecast of the meteorological department, the wind in this area tonight will not be too strong, within the normal range!

But if that's the case, what about the wind coming from the walkie-talkie?

Team Sun hurriedly took over the intercom equipment from his colleagues.

"Brother Ning, are you okay? How does it sound like it's windy! ”

Xiao Ning quickly replied: "(The wind is whistling) There is a slight breeze, there is no very strong wind, did you hear it wrong?" ”

Did you hear it wrong?

But there's such a big rumor!

Team Sun was about to ask, but Xiao Ning's slightly panting voice sounded again: "Uh, I know why you think there is wind, it's okay, no wind, don't worry!" ”

It's not windy yet?

But don't worry about it yet!

Gasp again!

This is obviously physical exhaustion!

Team Sun hurriedly said, "Brother Ning, you are already so gasped...... Is it too windy and too much physical exertion? Don't move now! Find a shelter from the wind! I'll contact the base camp right away and ask them to send someone from the camp to pick you up! ”

Xiao Ning's rather helpless voice sounded.

"I'm running...... How can I not pant when running, although I have good physical strength, cardiopulmonary function is better, but no matter how powerful it is, I have to take a breather, the wind you said is probably caused by my running, don't contact the base camp, this big night is too dangerous, fortunately I brought a few more flashlights, you don't know, the terrain of Tallinn on this side of the Rongbu Glacier is too complicated, and the lighting is not enough to really go the wrong way. ”

Team Sun was stunned.

The others in the tent were stunned.

All the viewers who were watching the live broadcast through the fixed camera in the tent were stunned.

The reason why there is a rumor.

It's because I'm running.

The reason why there is a panting sound.

It's also because I'm running.

If Xiao Ning were running anywhere else, it wouldn't have shocked and bewildered people.

But Xiao Ning is ...... at this time

It is a run on Mount Everest on a big winter night!

Even if the area he was in at this time was not above the snow line, it could only be regarded as an alpine hiking section, not a real climbing section.

You can run down Mount Everest at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters......

It's still very abstract!

The most important thing is that everyone remembers one thing.

In the entire mountaineering team, everyone has an oxygen cylinder in their bag, except for Xiao Ning!

Other words!

He's running on Mount Everest on a winter night without relying on oxygen.

That's right.

He also memorized a sick number.

After thinking about this for a short time.

The emotions of the people in the tents at the camp site can no longer be described as shock, but their eyes are about to pop out and fall to the ground......

At this time, Xiao Ning's voice sounded again.

"The pony has a low-grade fever at this time, I'm worried that it will be serious for a long time, so I'm going to run all the way down, and you don't call me every once in a while, it will affect my breathing rate very much!"

"Besides, calling me every once in a while doesn't help me at all except to make sure I'm alive."

"So, don't call me anymore, I'll take the initiative to contact you if there's really something, okay, just don't talk about it."

"I'm in a hurry."

People in the tent: "......"

At this time, in the official live broadcast room of Red Bull.

"Just now someone said that Ning Shen is not a human being, and I wondered if this was scolding, now think about it, Ning Shen He Nima...... It's not human, indeed! ”

"Although it is true that any cat and dog can add a god to their name these days, others add the word 'god' after their name, which is used as a nickname and honorific title, but Ning God is different! The word "god" represents his race. ”

"Now broadcast the information of the anchor in this live broadcast room, Xiao Ning, male, Protoss, professional singer, extreme athlete, water blue star YYDS."

"Running on Mount Everest on the big night! Why don't you run away with someone! I don't even dare to write like that! ”

"I was a little worried about Ning Shen before, but now I'm suddenly worried about the pony, and everyone has probably forgotten that Ning Shen ran the marathon and won the championship, right? With his running style, the pony is afraid that he will get motion sickness on his back, right? ”

"Don't say anything, Ning Shen is awesome!"

“……”

The "666" in the live broadcast room flew up, and the expressions of everyone in the tent were sometimes speechless and sometimes dumbfounded.

Xiao Ning, who has been running down at a certain pace, has left the ice tower forest area with the most ice towers.

More than an hour later.

The full moon in the sky completely appeared in the sky, and below the stars and the moon, on the majestic snow-capped mountains, Xiao Ning's altitude had dropped to less than six thousand meters.

At this time, he was at an altitude of more than 5,800 meters, and he was only a short distance away from the location of the camp.

At this time, Xiao Ning had completely left the East Rongbu Glacier area and returned to the section of the gravel belt.

Although the ground covered with gravel can be said to be in extremely poor road condition, this does not affect Xiao Ning to continue to maintain a running attitude.

In fact, in the system simulation learning space before, Xiao Ning had tried to run below the snow line of Mount Everest.

Xiao Ning can be said to have a lot of experience in how to run in this kind of place that is not actually mountaineering but can only be regarded as a plateau hiking zone.

Although it is true that running in this kind of place is much more physically demanding than normal.

But for Xiao Ning, whose physical fitness has been strengthened all the way to the present, his current endurance and physical strength, even if he is not the first in the Water Blue Star, but there are definitely few people who are stronger than him.

So even if he was running down with a person on his back, Xiao Ning just felt a little tired.

This level of fatigue is far from having a great impact on him.

Seeing that the lights of the camp below could be seen in the distance, Xiao Ning glanced at the instrument in his hand, patted the pony on his back with his hand and asked, "Pony, don't sleep!" We'll be there right away. ”

"Your blood oxygen is normal now, but you still have a little low-grade fever, which is not a big problem."

"When you get to the camp, they have a way to transfer you to the base camp and then they can send you directly to the hospital."

"Don't sleep, I'll send you down right away."

After saying these words, Xiao Ning used his hand to support the pony's hips with more force, and then the speed of running became noticeably faster.

Even though the pony was wrapped tightly in warm clothing, he could still feel the biting cold wind blowing in his face.

At this time, although his head hurts, he is having a low-grade fever, and his high-altitude reaction is very serious, but he still maintains his consciousness.

So what's going on in the pony's mind right now?

Although he was already a little unable to hold back when he found that Xiao Ning was running down Mount Everest at night with his back on his back, in order not to affect Xiao Ning, he didn't say a word.

But at this moment, after seeing that Xiao Ning was still accelerating, he really couldn't help it anymore.

"Tranquility!"

"You can take such a risk...... Give...... Send me down! ”

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You...... You are my savior! ”

"I don't know how to repay you, but ...... But if there is anything that can be used to me in the future, you can mention it......"

Xiao Ning's heart warmed when he heard it.

Although it is the most basic moral requirement for everyone.

But in this modern society, where people's hearts are gradually becoming cold, there are really not so many people who meet the basic moral requirements.

Although this pony said so, it is still debatable whether he really wants to do this in his heart, but at least the other party's attitude at this time is very real.

And Xiao Ning was also very comfortable listening to it.

He was thinking about telling the pony not to be cranky and trying to hold on to it.

The pony's slightly weakened voice rang out again.

"It's ......"

"Can you ...... Can you slow down a little ......?"

"I ......"

"I can't take it anymore."

"Ah...... I'm so ......."

"Not really...... No way......"

Slow down?

Can't help it?

Can't do it anymore?

What does it mean?

When Xiao Ning was still stunned, a series of retching sounds suddenly came from behind him, so frightened that he quickly stopped and untied the straps as fast as he could and put the pony on the ground.

Then he looked at the pony who vomited on the ground with a worried face, and kept patting the other person's back with his hand.

"Pony, you seem to be serious again."

"This is the last bit of the road, hold on!"

Xiao Ning pats her back and says words of encouragement to the pony.

After vomiting a lot of secretions, the pony who was bitter and couldn't say it finally opened his mouth with a little crying.

"Ning...... Calm down, my symptoms of high reaction are still like that, I vomit ...... It's you who ran too fast and shook me so sickly......"

"You know what motion sickness feels like? I...... I feel like I'm getting motion sickness......"

Xiao Ning frowned.

"Am I running that fast?"

That's what he was thinking.

Not far from the direction of the descent, there were several flashlights.

Soon, these people with lighting equipment went up and ran into Xiao Ning.

After approaching and confirming that it was Xiao Ning, these Red Bull rescue team members who had just been instructed to set off from the transition camp had 10,000 slots in their hearts.

They learned about the situation of the advance camp through the base camp two hours ago, according to the instructions of the base camp and the comprehensive consideration of the person in charge of Red Bull on the side of the camp, for the safety of the rescue team members, their original plan was to pinch the time and let the team members rise to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters to meet Xiao Ning at a similar time.

This is the safest position under the Rongbu Glacier at night in winter, and it is estimated that they will have to wait a while for Xiao Ning to get here.

But what they didn't expect was ......

They had just set off, and they ran into Xiao Ning directly at the "door" of the transitional camp......

What's going on?

According to the information given by the base camp, Xiao Ning began to retreat at 7:40.

He was still carrying a person on his back, and he had to reach the position of more than 6,000 meters above sea level after 12 a.m. or even after 1 a.m.!

But it's just past nine o'clock......

Xiao Ning had already appeared on the side road in front of the transitional camp at an altitude of 5,800 meters.

This is equivalent to......

It only took him a little more than an hour to retreat from the forward camp to the transition camp!

Considering that it was a winter night and a person retreated alone, this section of the road would have taken at least seven or eight hours!

But he!

He Nima ran down in just over an hour!

There was a "bang" sound.

The stretcher carried by the two rescue team members fell on the gravel road.

Several rescue team members looked at Xiao Ning's expressions at this time, all frightened.

The captain of the rescue team looked terrified.

"This horse is not going to be a ghost on a night road!"
