224. The plummeting oxygen content, the terrifying ice avalanche, and the deep darkness are like demons opening their mouths in the abyss!
After tossing for a while, Chen Fei finally figured out how to turn on the overhead camera.
"Boom!"
As the switch was turned back on, the eyes of the audience around the world suddenly lit up and their eyes widened.
The ripples of the snowflakes disappeared, replaced by a flickering yellow light.
Liu Shishi shouted with some surprise: "Hey? This camera also has night vision? It's so high-class. β
"After all, it's sponsored by Red Bull, and this company is notoriously well-equipped."
Jing Tian is quite knowledgeable, and he answered casually.
ο½
Although the picture is a little shaky, if you look closely, you can still see the surrounding ice that reflects various light sources.
As Chen Fei said, he was swept away by an avalanche into a bottomless cavern with nothing but ice around him.
And as the camera moves, the audience gradually sees what kind of situation he is facing.
Beneath his feet is a bottomless cavern, and he can't see the bottom with the camera's built-in night vision function.
Chen Fei tried to throw a snowball down, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear any echo.
"The depth is at least 100 meters or more, and it may even go straight to the foot of Mount Everest!"
As soon as they heard this, the audience in front of the screen began to gasp.
"6,000 meters above sea level? Straight to the bottom of the mountain? Does that mean the cave is 6,000 meters deep? β
"I'm a good girl, this is scary, isn't it?"
"Good guy, this is not ordinary luck, this is simply possessed by Lady Luck, right?"
"Oh my god, if this falls, won't you be able to go to God in minutes?"
"He must be under the favor of Lady Luck, and he will succeed in this challenge! He's going to do a miracle! β
ββ¦β¦β
The people who watched the broadcast had different opinions, and some even talked about the patron saint, but in fact, the real factor supporting his survival was the climbing rope that was tied to his ankle before!
This is his patron saint and the goddess of luck who has always been by his side.
"Whew!"
With a sigh of relief, Chen Fei climbed up along the rope and babbled in his mouth,
"In fact, most of the experience handed down by the ancients was exchanged for life, and we must remember their teachings, just like now, although it is just an ordinary knot, it has become my life-saving straw."
He was now stuck about six meters low in the cave, so it didn't take much time or effort for him to climb to the edge of the cave.
It's just that because of the avalanche, the top of the cave is covered with a thick layer of snow at this time.
Helpless, he had to grasp the rope with one hand and dig out with the other.
After a lot of effort, with a dazzling ray of light coming in, he finally managed to dig through the snow and return to the ground!
"Haha, I'm out."
Back on the ridge, Chen Fei couldn't hide his excitement and shouted!
Although it was only a few minutes, the blizzard that covered the sky just now had disappeared, and only snowflakes flew between the sky and the earth.
Rediscovering the backpack stuck in the snow layer, Chen Fei took a deep breath, ate a pack of compressed biscuits, and cautiously continued along the ice ridge.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
The heavy backpack rubbed against the snow, making a sound and creating a huge resistance.
Chen Fei's every step was very difficult, but it was also very stable.
The previous avalanche had taken away some of the snow floating on the ridge, so he only needed to guard against some ice caves and crevasses along the way!
ο½
In the next few hours, Chen Fei maintained a steady pace.
Even if you're lugging a heavy backpack!
Even in the face of dangerous ice caves!
Even if it is oxygen-free and cold!
But he did not hesitate to forge ahead!
Although the end is snow-white, and there is no hope of "life" at all, the steady breathing makes the audience feel inexplicably full of confidence.
He seemed to be sending a signal.
I can do it!
I can do it!
I was able to walk to the forward camp!
Liu Shishi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Director Chen is really strong!" It's amazing! How the hell did he do it? It always conveys a strong sense of belief. β
Perhaps this is the strength revealed by the real "big man"? β
Yang Mi echoed softly, her eyes shining with the light of adoration, and she couldn't hide her excitement.
At this time, a group of actors in the "Twilight Zone" crew, including director Woody Allen, are also paying attention to this wonderful challenge.
Although they couldn't see Chen Fei's face, they could still see his unhesitating belief from that steady pace!
Christine's eyes also sparkled with starlight, and the belief of worship filled her heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time.
"Fei, that's so cool!"
ο½
As the altitude increases, the oxygen content in the air decreases.
It took several hours, with the help of trekking poles, crampons and other equipment, Chen Fei finally managed to cross the Rongbu Glacier area and arrive at the forward camp.
The Advance Camp is also known as the "Devil's Camp"!
Like the previous Stone Pillar Forest area, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one entrance and exit facing north.
Because of the special geographical structure, the air circulation changes.
From the moment you arrive at the camp, the oxygen levels in the air plummet, and many climbers who have tried to reach the summit without oxygen usually experience severe high levels here.
The thin oxygen is intimidating to mountaineering challengers around the world!
Messner muttered, "This will be the most difficult hurdle on the way to the summit, other areas can be assisted by equipment, but this is the ultimate test of physical fitness." β
Jiang Xiuzhen and Wang Shi glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.
Some people in Huaxia have tried to challenge the anaerobic summit over the years, but unfortunately they all fell here in the end.
Even they themselves had to choose to use oxygen cylinders after arriving here because of severe hyperreflex in their bodies.
In fact, theoretically, the volume of oxygen at an altitude of 6,500 meters is basically the same as that at sea level.
However, the air at high altitudes is thinner, and the concentration of various gaseous substances decreases, and the volume of oxygen per liter of air is only 0.21 liters, which is equivalent to 0.06 liters at standard atmospheric pressure.
This is a data close to the threshold of oxygen uptake!
So... Can Chen Fei resist?
"System, add 35 points to stamina, and add 40 points to physique."
[Ding: Deduct reputation points, you have successfully improved your physical attributes. γ
The warm current is surging, and the improvement of physical fitness makes Chen Fei not afraid of the decline in oxygen content at all.
To put it simply, as long as there is oxygen, he can live!
After finding an open space, retracting the backpack, and inserting a signal stick again, Chen Fei ate two compressed biscuits and began to move on.
The previous hurdles had wasted a lot of time, and he didn't have any more time to stay here.
In a few hours, it will be dark.
Failing to reach the North Col ice wall before dark would disrupt his plans for the next ascent to the summit.
However, he left easily, but the audience in front of the screen widened their eyes one by one at this time, and their faces were full of disbelief!
"I thought that anaerobic would be the biggest difficulty he encountered in the whole process, but I never expected that anaerobic would be the most inconspicuous problem."
Messner's face was full of emotion.
The 6,500-meter devil advance camp, I don't know how many people have stopped the pace.
But in front of Chen Fei, this is just an inconspicuous small level, which has no impact on him at all.
This strong contrast makes a group of mountaineering enthusiasts deeply feel what is the difference between people!
"6500? Is it so easy? β
"Grandma's, I can't stand it after climbing 5500, he's... It's appalling! β
"It's incredible, how strong is a person's physique? To behave like this? β
"Listening to that steady breathing, it's like playing the most beautiful music in the world."
"Expect him to make it to the top!"
ο½
With inaudible cheers, Chen Fei took one step after another.
It is no exaggeration to say that when he breaks through 6500, every step he takes can increase the sense of honor of Huaxia by one point!
Looking at the whole world, there are very few people who can break through the altitude of 6,500 meters without oxygen!
In the eyes of outsiders, being able to reach this position is already a very awesome person.
But Chen Fei never took "6500" to heart, because anaerobic is only the most insignificant level of his challenge, and his real goal has always been 8848.48!
The combination of crampons and trekking poles is a must-have for many mountaineers who take on the challenge of Mount Everest.
With the assistance of these two pieces of equipment, before the sky darkened, Chen Fei finally arrived at the North Col Ice Wall.
And this is also one of the most difficult levels to climb Mount Everest!
The 400-meter vertical ice wall has an average slope of 50 degrees and a steep point of 70 degrees.
Anyone who sees such an ice wall, while feeling the magic of nature, I am afraid that they will also be frightened and dare not move!
However, this place is only the first of the four major difficulties on the north wall of Mount Everest.
Reaching out and stroking the smooth ice arm, there was no fear in Chen Fei's eyes, only a strong desire to conquer!
It's actually quite easy to pass this level, as long as you master the ice climbing skills, plus the support of arm strength and physical strength, you can easily cross it.
Taking a few steps back, Chen Fei inserted a signal rod in his hand, and at the same time explained some details of this North Col ice wall to the audience.
The twilight sky shrouded this ice wall as smooth as a "mirror", like a bronze mirror used by a rich lady in ancient times.
Chen Fei's figure was reflected on the ice wall.
Unfortunately, he only occupied a small distance, and in front of the huge ice wall, he was not much bigger than an ant.
But now, this "ant" wants to cross this ice wall!
While preparing the ice draft and reinforcing the crampons, Chen Fei explained: "The difficulty of climbing the North Col ice wall is about the Wl6 level, that is, the ice wall is close to vertical, and there is no rest point in the middle, so you need to climb more than 400 meters in one go.
Since I didn't know what was going on above the ice wall, I had to be careful during the climb or there was a good chance of another avalanche.
This time it wasn't so lucky, once the snow washed down, the height of hundreds of meters was enough for me to fall into a meatloaf! β
As he spoke, the audience in front of the screen unconsciously held their breath.
Even if they don't need to climb, they can't help but substitute themselves into it, and then they can't stop shaking...
"Bang!"
The sharp ice draft pierced into the ice wall under Chen Fei's swing, and the exploding ice flowers flew into the distance like dandelions!
"Guys, I'm going to start ice climbing now."
After announcing his plan, with the only dim light left between heaven and earth, Chen Fei stepped on crampons and climbed upwards with great effort.
He kept swinging out the ice manuscripts, digging many small holes in the ice walls.
The crampons on his left and right feet were just stuck in the small hole, giving Chen Fei a good focus and allowing his body to move forward steadily.
The near-vertical ice surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting his gritty face!
At an altitude of 400 meters, it seems to be connected to the sky, and even if you try to look up, you can't see where the end is.
The hope of life seems to be completely lost, and there is only one figure left in the heavens and the earth trying to climb.
And the "thump" sound of the ice draft inserting into the ice wall is more like a fearless charge!
Because of the viewing angle, most people can't see Chen Fei's movements clearly, and can only judge by occasionally turning his head and lowering his head, and his current movements should be like a big gecko.
Think about what it's like for a gecko to climb on a mirrored surface up to 400 meters high.
The feeling of not seeing the end in sight is simply desperate!
ο½
He started to climb at dusk and climbed until it was dark, and Chen Fei came to a position of 200 meters.
Turn on the headlamp that has been prepared for a long time, and the bright light guides him in the direction of progress, and also brings hope for life.
Luck still loomed over him, and the most dangerous avalanche did not appear.
But frequent snowstorms still made it difficult for him to climb!
The whistling wind and snow are like a dancing girl in a white dress, dancing on the white and smooth ice, bringing a graceful posture at the same time, it also makes Chen Fei feel what is called a fatal temptation!
The blizzard dragged along his body, as if trying to remove the stain on his ice wall and leave them more room to dance.
The rising altitude and plummeting temperature made Chen Fei's hands and feet stiffen, and every time he swung out the ice draft, he had to pay twice the physical strength!
But even so, he still doesn't stop, like a tireless machine, never stopping!
"Come on!"
Countless people silently cheered him on in front of the screen.
Even though they have been working in front of the sofa all day, Liu Yifei's mother and daughter have not mentioned that they want to rest.
The high level of excitement did not make them tired at all.
Perhaps only when Chen Fei successfully reaches the top will they usher in burnout.
ο½
When night fell, the heavens and the earth were enveloped in thick darkness.
The headlamp, which emits a faint light, guides the way forward.
Looking at the terrain in the shot, Messner quickly made a judgment, "He's two-thirds of the way through and he's not far from the finish line."
But the next paragraph... It will be the most difficult stage! β
Chen Fei could already feel it, and when the climb came to the end, the verticality of the ice wall was infinitely close to 90!
What is this concept?
This means that it's all about climbing upwards on a glass mirror!
"Whew!"
With a sigh of relief, Chen Fei only felt that his arm was a little sore.
The body was telling him that it was time to rest for a while, but based on the experience of Extreme Survival, he should continue to pick up speed now.
The sooner you get to the top, the less risky it is.
Without thinking too much, Chen Fei chose to follow experience, after all, hanging on the ice wall for a long time is not a good phenomenon.
Maybe by the time the next blizzard comes, you'll see an avalanche overhead, or even a terrible ice avalanche!
Pulling out the ice draft and moving the crampons, he raised his right hand and chiseled hard at the top right.
"Bang!"
A deep pit was dug straight out.
After making sure that the ice draft was stable, he continued with his previous movements, preparing to pull out the ice axe on the left side and continue to chisel upward.
But at the moment when the ice manuscript in his left hand was pulled out, the image suddenly appeared!
"Click! Click! Click! β
With a violent explosion, the ice wall in front of him was like a broken glass mirror, suddenly shattering!
The location of the fragmentation is the location where the ice draft is inserted in the upper right.
Chen Fei never thought that he was still praying just now that there would be no ice avalanche, but in the blink of an eye, something unexpected happened!
This unlucky rush is enough of a pit.
Anyone who has smashed glass knows that when a sharp object hits the "center point", the whole glass will appear from point to surface extension and shattering, thus completely shattering into slag.
And what Chen Fei is experiencing now is also in this situation!
The moment the ice avalanche appeared, the entire ice wall in front of him began to shatter.
In an instant, the wall of ice that supported him exploded into slag and fell to the bottom.
And Chen Fei's experience is exactly the same as this ice wall!
His body began to slide uncontrollably, and he was about to fall into the abyss!
In front of the screen, everyone's eyes subconsciously widened, looking at the picture in front of them with shocked faces!
"Is this an ice avalanche? It's scary! β
"Damn, I'm going to fall!"
"Brother Fei, grab it, hurry up and catch it!"
ββ¦β¦β
The ice slag shattered and fell quickly.
However, at this critical moment, Chen Fei made a bold move!
Taking advantage of the moment when his feet were barely stable, he directly made a jumping movement, causing his body to climb up a lot!
At the same time, he shook his arms, grasped the ice manuscript tightly, and smashed it out against the ice wall in front of him, which was still intact.
"Bang! Bang! β
With two explosions, the ice draft dug deep into the ice, dragging his body that was about to fall.
However, just when everyone thought that the crisis was about to be resolved, the sound of "crunch, crunch" suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
"I'm Nima! Still broken? β
Chen Fei's face changed drastically, and he had already realized that the ice wall in front of him seemed to be about to have a huge ice avalanche.
But fortunately, this is not a one-time occurrence, but an increasing number of shattering from the bottom to the top.
Gritting his teeth violently, Chen Fei gave an order: "The system, the strength, and the acceleration are all added to 99 for me!" β
[Ding: Deduct 56000 Fame Points...]
Chen Fei, the voice behind the system, didn't pay attention anymore, because now after his strength and speed increased dramatically, he directly turned into a galloping cheetah!
The ice draft was blown up by his dance, and the sound of "bang bang bang" kept exploding on the ice wall, and he used his hands and feet at the same time, climbing up quickly!
And as his speed increased, the speed of the ice collapse seemed to follow suit, and the "click" cracking sound spread under his feet all the time, accompanied by the rumbling sound of ice slag and ice falling under the ice wall!
In the last 1/3 of the journey, Chen Fei almost completed it in a state of "hurricane".
And at the moment of reaching the top, he did not hesitate at all, and the whole person swooped forward violently, and quickly turned forward several times.
In the next second, the ice block where he was just now completely collapsed, and the whole thing fell towards the foot of the mountain!
A massive ice avalanche has appeared!
"Boom!"
The loud sound made all the viewers in front of the screen face change drastically, and they couldn't imagine how they would survive if they were in that state.
The ice quality of the North Col ice wall is not good, and the stability period is short, and it will only stabilize in winter.
But it's summer, and the sudden rise and fall in temperature can lead to ice floes and ice cracks.
Maybe the outer layer looks indestructible, but in fact, the inside has a tendency to melt, coupled with Chen Fei's climbing, it has directly become the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
Luckily, he was fast enough to make it ashore on the eve of a widespread ice avalanche.
"Whew..."
Lying in the snow, Chen Fei let out a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he had made an accurate response at the moment of crisis.
Otherwise, if you fall from a height of more than 400 meters, you will have to fall half-body.
In front of the screen, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.
The picture of the race against time just now made everyone unconsciously feel their hearts beat faster and their bodies stiffened, as if there was a god of death chasing behind them!
Fortunately, Chen Fei successfully won this race against death!
"Chen Daoniu breaks!"
"Admire, what a god-man!"
"I don't know what language to use to describe it, it is worthy of being the first martial arts finger in the mainland, this is a real kung fu!"
βChinaοΌ China is awesome! β
"Chinese Kung Fu ???"
A group of people were cheering, and they heard Chen Fei's voice come again,
"Luckily, I got through it, I'm at 7,028 meters and we're very close to the finish.
However, the North Col Ice Wall just now is only the first level, and it is also the easiest level.
There will be more and more dangerous obstacles for the rest of the journey, and even though it is late at night, I will not stop.
Guys, do you want to watch the sunrise on Mount Everest? Want to cheer on the peak of 8848.48? Want to parachute in a blizzard?
Stay tuned for me, and while the road ahead will still be dangerous, I won't stop.
Tonight, I will cross the kilometer altitude and climb to the top of Mount Everest! β
As the words fell, Chen Fei resolutely stood up, threw down a signal stick casually, and launched a fearless charge horn towards the deep darkness!
