"I knew it would be a risky move to rush straight from the assault camp without much rest."

"So, in the final summit stage, you don't need to accompany me, Captain Yin."

"I'll just bring my own equipment and go up with my senior brother."

After Xiao Ning finished speaking, everyone at the scene fell silent.

Maybe the audience in the live broadcast room doesn't know what Xiao Ning is going to do when he climbs Mount Everest this time, but everyone in the Red Bull team at the scene is clear.

If it is simply to climb Mount Everest in winter, then Xiao Ning can do it alone.

The reason why they will follow others along the way, in addition to the consideration of Red Bull for multi-camera live cameras to make the live broadcast picture better, the more important reason is actually to let others help Xiao Ning get equipment.

The Yin Feng team, which was originally planned to accompany Xiao Ning to the top, was mainly responsible for this work.

However, now Xiao Ning said that Yin Feng and the others only needed to accompany him to C3, and then in the process of directly launching from the assault camp to the top, he did not need to be accompanied by others, and he took all the equipment by himself......

That's an exaggeration.

Because Xiao Ning's equipment is not only the necessary things for mountaineering, but also the things that let him complete the thing at the summit of Mount Everest.

And even when folded, these things occupy a considerable amount of volume and weight.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a person to carry so many things to the summit, not to mention that Xiao Ning has to carry a Qian Zhen to the top of Mount Everest?

Therefore, Xiao Ning proposed that there was no need for Yin Feng to accompany him, and after the final summit stage had to be completed alone, everyone was very confused.

Yin Feng, who just thought about it and didn't have confidence in forcibly rushing to the top without much rest, didn't even have confidence in Xiao Ning at this time.

"Take a bunch of equipment in the winter and carry yourself to the peak?"

"What international jokes?"

Yin Feng's mind suddenly flashed the picture of Xiao Ning alone on the final road to the top, holding a bag in one hand and a rope in the other, carrying a person on his back.

"That's not right...... He still has to have a backpack on his waist and shoulders, otherwise how can he fit so many things? ”

"I'm afraid Qian Zhen has to carry a bag on his back......"

"How can you take this?"

Yin Feng roughly calculated, putting aside the live broadcast equipment that Xiao Ning and Qian Zhen were equipped with without weight calculation, if Xiao Ning really wanted to rush to the top alone, counting Qian Zhen's weight into the weight, his total weight would definitely exceed one hundred and fifty catties.

With this level of weight, it is quite difficult for even an ordinary person to stand still and carry it, and it will be difficult for even a well-trained person to walk for a while under normal circumstances.

But Xiao Ning was ready to do so on Mount Everest, which is more than 8,000 meters above sea level.

Just Nima abstract!

Yin Feng, who couldn't calm down at all, directly put together a pile of equipment that their team had helped Xiao Ning carry the weight in front of Xiao Ning, and then pointed to the big bag on the ground and looked at Xiao Ning in a trance.

"You mean...... You want to rush to the top from the assault camp at an altitude of 8,300 meters, holding so many things alone, and carrying Qian Zhen on your back? ”

Xiao Ning nodded calmly.

Yin Feng was petrified in situ.

The remaining three of the professional mountaineering squad were sluggish.

The other Red Bull staff members around the tent were stunned at the same time.

The barrage floating in the live broadcast room also became sparse in an instant.

A few seconds later, when everyone at the scene was still looking at Xiao Ning in a daze, the audience who reacted had already blown up the barrage area in each live broadcast room.

"I'm grass!"

"It's really against the sky!"

"So much to bring with you to the top of the mountain?"

"Ning Shen, let's do some work in the yang world...... This Nima is too underworld, isn't it? ”

"I don't know how much it weighs, but this pile doesn't look like it can be finished by one person!"

"Ning Shen thinks it's too challenging to climb to the top with only one Qian Zhen, so he has to take the initiative to increase the difficulty of his summit?"

"I don't understand, but I'm blown away."

Although the audience doesn't know as much as the Red Bull team, it is precisely because they don't know what Xiao Ning is in this pile of equipment at all, and they are even more shocked by Xiao Ning's idea of carrying such a bunch of things to the top alone while carrying Qian Zhen on his back.

After the shock, the curiosity of all the audience was also filled.

"The weight of normal mountaineering should be reduced as much as possible, why does Ningshen have to carry so many things to the top? Is there anything else to do after reaching the top? ”

"Is it possible that Ning Shen wants to go skiing on Mount Everest? I mean ski straight down from the summit. ”

"It looks like this pile of equipment is not small, and it is possible that there are skis in it, but ...... If you really want to go skiing, that's too abstract! ”

"Fuck, going to the top of Mount Everest and skiing down? Is this an operation that people can think of? ”

"So what would it be if it wasn't skiing? If you reach the top, you will reach the top, what are you carrying a bunch of things for? ”

"If it's at the altitude of the camp, bringing a bunch of things can be said to be a cameo for a Sherpa to send things to a certain camp, but there is no camp above the assault camp at all! He wouldn't really be carrying skis or something? ”

"It doesn't have to be skiing, I think it's probably carrying a microphone or something, blessed are all the fans of Ningshen! Ningshen is preparing to hold a concert on the top of Mount Everest! ”

"It's okay to hold a concert on the top of Mount Everest......"

“……”

When the discussion in each live broadcast room is still hot.

Although everyone at the scene wanted to persuade Xiao Ning, they were all in a state where they couldn't speak.

Although even Yin Feng felt that the idea proposed by Xiao Ning was very abstract, and it was unlikely that it would succeed in actual practice, after all, it was Xiao Ning who proposed it.

Along the way, Xiao Ning shocked him not once or twice.

If it is impossible for a professional mountaineer to do it, then Xiao Ning, who is much more powerful than a professional mountaineer, may it really be possible to do it?

Moreover, although the overall person in charge of the Everest plan is Chen Qing, Xiao Ning, who was actually given the highest decision-making power by Zou Yitian, vice president of Red Bull, has the decision to make changes to the details of the plan on the spot.

Yin Feng knew very well that Xiao Ning really wanted to do it like this, and it was definitely not useful for him or others to persuade him.

When everyone, including Yin Feng, was still struggling.

Xiao Ning put down the words of the clapper.

"There is still a while before the departure time, Team Yin, you should hurry up and have a good rest, and the next journey to the assault camp will not stop, I will also go to the side to squint for a while, and I will see you leave on time."

At the time of the one-and-a-half-hour break in Camp C1, according to Xiao Ning's plan, the team composed of Yin Feng's foursome and Xiao Ning Qian Zhen continued to launch a charge against Camp 2 C2.

Not long after leaving the C1 camp at an altitude of 7,028 meters, Xiao Ning and others climbed up the ridge of the north slope of Mount Everest to the long snow slope.

From the 7,028-meter C1 camp to the 7,790-meter C2 camp, the entire journey is almost always like this.

The total length of this long slope is about 5.5 kilometres, with an average gradient of around 25 to 30 degrees.

The slope isn't necessarily that steep, but the total distance is there, and the elevation is there.

Compared to normal altitude, any movement after an altitude of more than 7,000 meters will exponentially consume physical strength.

Although everyone except Xiao Ning was using oxygen, at this rate of physical exhaustion, even if Yin Feng and the others had several experiences of reaching the top, they still felt some discomfort.

Soon, the team had reached a position of more than 7,400 meters.

If the North Col ice wall before reaching Camp C1 is the first difficulty of the North Slope Everest climbing route.

Then the location of Xiao Ning and others at this time can be said to be the second difficulty of the route on the north slope of Mount Everest.

The 7,400 m to 7,500 m above sea level on the north slope of Mount Everest is a tuyere location, because of the special terrain, this area called "big tuyere" will cause the wind to become much stronger than the previous zone due to the "narrow pipe effect".

How strong is the wind blowing here all year round?

Under normal circumstances, if a climber climbs this area without a protective rope and tightens the rope, he or she will even be blown away by the strong wind rushing towards the ridge!

The consequence of stronger winds is cooler temperatures.

In this area that is very prone to hypothermia and frostbite, in addition to Xiao Ning, who is still walking leisurely and calm, Yin Feng and the others are more or less nervous.

Fortunately, in the end, there were no surprises.

The group passed safely through the windy area and crossed the second difficulty of the northern slope route.

After an altitude of 7,500 meters, the slopes that were originally climbed began to change.

Because above this altitude, rocky terrain begins to appear, and the higher the altitude, the thinner the snow layer becomes.

For crampon-wearing climbers, the climb is much more difficult than the previous trail.

Fortunately, Yin Feng and the others, as mountaineering veterans, have a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of snow-rock mixed terrain, and they barely followed the pace of Xiao Ning at the front of the queue in the back.

All the way up.

When the six of them arrived at Camp C2, located at an altitude of 7,790 meters, it was already the time when the sun was about to set.

After a slight adjustment to the No. 2 camp located on a slope of Mount Everest at an altitude of 7,790 meters, according to the plan at the time of departure, Xiao Ning and the others did not stop long and continued to go up.

Camp C2 is only two kilometers away from the final assault camp, but in reality these two kilometers still require more than four hours of climbing time under normal circumstances.

Although the altitude was higher and the terrain was becoming more and more difficult, Xiao Ning insisted on taking the four of them to the assault camp at an altitude of 8,300 meters at half past ten when it was already completely dark.

According to the previous plan.

Xiao Ning will be separated from Yin Feng's foursome here, and after a short break, he will carry Qian Zhen alone from the assault camp to the top of Mount Everest.

In fact, after arriving at the assault camp, Xiao Ning did arrange it like this.

Because they rushed all the way from Camp No. 1 to the assault camp, Yin Feng and the others' physical strength was almost overdrawn at this time, and if they didn't rest in the assault camp for a night, they actually didn't even have the possibility of trying to reach the top.

At this time, a few people who were tired enough to choke helped Xiao Ning prepare the equipment he was going to carry when he reached the summit with complicated expressions.

bundled and tied a bunch of equipment to Xiao Ning, plus Qian Zhen was still lying on Xiao Ning's back, and in the end, Xiao Ning's image was actually very much like a special-shaped zongzi.

Everything was ready, Xiao Ning and Yin Feng had a brief exchange and were about to say goodbye and continue upwards when an old acquaintance appeared at the door of the tent in the assault camp.

The foreigner mountaineering team that had never been seen before had arrived at the assault camp before Xiao Ning and the others, which was something they had known as soon as they arrived at the camp.

However, because they had nothing to do with others and had a language barrier, Yin Feng and the others did not take the initiative to communicate with others.

However, at this time, several members of the foreigner mountaineering team found the door.

The first to bear the brunt is the mustachioed mountaineer Kato Daiki of the Kori Country.

As soon as he saw Xiao Ning, he opened his mouth with joy: "Sure enough, it's you!" ”

When Xiao Ning, Yin Feng and the others were unknown, Kato Daiki turned his head and looked at his teammates: "Look! I just said, the people who came up must be Xiao Ning and them! ”

A foreigner was a little stunned: "It's really ...... We rushed directly from the advance camp to the assault camp today, and there was hardly any rest along the way, and we just arrived at the assault camp and caught up with us? Incredible! ”

Kato Daiki didn't say much to his stunned teammates, but walked directly in front of Xiao Ning.

"Xiao! I knew I'd run into you up there! Our team set out from the advance camp in the middle of the night and did not arrive at the assault camp until evening, when did you set off? ”

Although Xiao Ning really wanted to say "we are not familiar", after all, at an altitude of 8,300 meters, it is estimated that there are only a few of them in the world now.

It is indeed a fate to be able to meet in this kind of place.

Just answering such a question is not excessive.

So Xiao Ning replied: "Six or seven o'clock in the morning." ”

Kato Daiki was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I thought our departure time would not be too different, but I didn't expect it to be even bigger than I imagined......"

"It's worthy of the god Xiao Ning! A few hours late, you can get to the assault camp in about the same time as us! ”

"That's right, God Xiao Ning! When is your team ready to reach the top? Do you want to be together? Having a partner can also be considered to be a good thing. ”

Xiao Ning said truthfully: "I'm going to the top now." ”

Oki Kato was stunned.

The other foreigner teammates behind him were also stunned.

"Uh...... Are you okay? I'm in a hurry. Xiao Ning pointed to Qian Zhen on his back as he spoke: "My senior brother said that he wanted to go to the peak to admire the moon quickly." ”

When did I say that?

Qian Zhen was very confused.

After hearing the key word "moon viewing", Daiki Kato and others were even more stunned.

Xiao Ning didn't bother to care what these foreigners were thinking, and after waving his hand to Yin Feng and the others, he walked out of the tent directly and simply with a weight all over his body.

With his flashlight turned on, he soon began to continue his journey up the ridge of Mount Everest in the night.

Make a final charge to the summit of Mount Everest!

Outside the tent of the assault camp.

Looking at Xiao Ning represented by the light not far away, the stunned Kato Daiki and his teammates were already trembling at this time.

A foreigner mountaineer's jaw was about to fall to the ground: "He! After he arrived at the assault camp in one day, he didn't take any rest and went straight to the peak? This! It's tantamount to suicide! ”

Daiki Kato added in a trembling tone: "What's more important is ...... He even carried so many things on his back! OMG! ”
