Siguniang Mountain belongs to the Qionglai Mountain Range, which is composed of "four peaks and three ditches".

The four peaks are roughly arranged along the southwest-northeast direction and from low to high in elevation, which are the big peak, the second peak, the third peak, and the sister peak.

Among them, the highest peak is 6,250 meters above sea level, which is the first peak in the Qionglai Mountains and the second highest peak in Sichuan Province.

The three ditches are arranged in the shape of "Sichuan" from west to east, which are "Shuangqiao Ditch", "Changping Ditch" and "Haizi Ditch".

…

Because it took a lot of time on the road, when Chen Fei arrived at the area on the outskirts of Siguniang Mountain, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

In a small hotel, Chen Fei met Wang Yongfeng and Flory, as well as the team from the National Sports Bureau and Red Bull.

"Chen Fei! I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

"Haha, Captain Wang, Mr. Flory, don't come unharmed..."

After greeting each other, the group returned to the hotel.

The system task was refreshed in mid-August, and then Chen Fei notified Flory as soon as possible, asking the other party to prepare equipment for him.

And the reason why Wang Yongfeng and his party came over was purely because this challenge task was carried out in China, and there would be mountaineering involved, so Chen Fei notified them.

Both sides attached great importance to it, so they arrived at Siguniang Mountain early.

Walking into a temporarily renovated conference room, the first thing Chen Fei said was: "Has the news been announced?" ”

"Well, all the three major portals, sports networks, major print media, and even all channels including the extranet have announced that you are going to challenge "ice climbing". ”

"That's good."

Chen Fei nodded, and began to check the climbing equipment under the guidance of Flory.

Ice climbing is a sport developed from rock climbing, which is a compulsory subject for climbing high mountains and snow-capped mountains, and is one of the basic skills of mountaineering.

It is a sport that requires the help of equipment and equipment, and the specific content is to climb up the ice of nature such as ice walls, ice waterfalls, and ice hangings.

"Ice drafts, ice picks, crampons, helmets, hiking boots, harnesses, ropes, ascents, descenders, finger gloves, mountaineering suits, ......"

Flory was like an old mother, babbling to Chen Fei to introduce various equipment.

It's just that when he finished introducing all the equipment, Chen Fei only took a few of the equipment that he had to use during the climb.

All other equipment related to safety and protection was discarded by him.

Flory was a little confused, "Fei? What do you mean? ”

"Nothing." Chen Fei shook his head and explained in a very sparse and ordinary tone: "I'm going to make an unprotected climb this time, so I don't need a harness and rope. ”

“Oh？ No！ WTF？ ”

Flory was once again blinded by his fateful manipulation.

Without any protection?

Climbing an iceberg at an altitude of 6,250 meters?

What kind of international joke are you playing?

If you slip your hand, or encounter some natural disasters that you can't resist during the climb, it is completely a dead end!

Even Wang Yongfeng on the side was frightened.

"Chen Fei, challenges are important, but safety is also a very important part, you can't be strong!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure, I can climb Mount Everest without oxygen, it's just an ice climb, it's not easy?"

Hearing this, the nervous demeanor of everyone at the scene suddenly eased slightly.

This is really reasonable, anaerobic climbing of Mount Everest + extreme parachute in the blizzard zone can be successful, in comparison, this unprotected ice climbing does not seem to be nothing...

Of course, this situation should only be for Chen Fei personally.

The major forums are already crazy at this time!

The news of the "Ice Climbing Challenge" was exposed this morning, and with the efforts of the Sports Bureau and Red Bull, it directly spread all over the Internet.

The headlines of the three major portals were originally all about the casting of "The King of Kung Fu", the release of "Night Banquet", and the announcement of the establishment of "Assembly Number", but now they have all been topped by the "Ice Climbing Challenge".

Climb an iceberg at an altitude of 6,250 meters?

Are you kidding?

The first reaction of all those who saw this news was to believe it!

…

"I wondered, what kind of life does he play every day as a director?" Wang Zhonglei complained angrily in the office.

He originally wanted to continue to increase Huayi's influence in the circle by taking advantage of the popularity of the casting of "The King of Kung Fu", but now it is good, as soon as the ice climbing challenge comes out, the casting popularity is directly reduced!

Wang Zhongjun was much more sensible, and guessed: "Maybe that's why he can keep creating new scripts." ”

When people are facing a life-and-death crisis, the body will secrete a lot of adrenaline, and the brain's ability to function will continue to strengthen.

At this stage, inspiration will naturally burst!

Of course, this is Wang Zhongjun's own analysis, and there is no scientific evidence.

"Slow down, extend the audition time, let's also learn from Zhang Jizhong, and at least maintain this heat first."

"Ugh."

Wang Zhonglei sighed and nodded helplessly.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Zhongjun asked again, "How did you talk to Liu Xiaoli?" The signing of Liu Yifei is still uncertain? ”

"Not ideal." Wang Zhonglei shook his head and said: "That woman is very tight, every time she sees me, it's like seeing a wolf, she just wants to gain fame and fortune, but she doesn't want to pay the price she deserves." ”

"Continue to fight, increase the weight and intensity, as long as Liu Yifei can be signed, the follow-up is not up to us?"

As the hottest existence among the young actresses born in the 85s, Liu Yifei has long been a piece of sweetness coveted by various brokerage companies.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as she can be signed, the later income will be abundant!

"Well, okay, I see." Wang Zhonglei nodded, and his eyebrows suddenly trembled slightly, "By the way, Zhao Yanzi took the initiative to contact me." ”

Zhao Yanzi?

"What? She also has an idea? ”

"Well, she also revealed that she wanted to participate in the show, but she proposed to be affiliated with the studio, not to sign a contract with us like Zhou Xun."

"Then take her as an alternative, and mainly focus on Liu Yifei's side."

"Okay."

…

The two brothers of the Wang family are plotting, but netizens will not pay attention to these.

There are already fans in the post bar who have opened new posts, discussing the topic of "ice climbing".

Not many people know about this sport in China, most people have only heard of rock climbing, and the term "ice climbing" is quite new.

However, there are still great gods who went to the Internet to collect information and deliberately popularized knowledge for fans.

"Ice climbing, as the name suggests, is to climb the ice wall by rock climbing, and everyone should know about the waterfall, right? Ice climbing means climbing up from under a frozen waterfall. ”

"Good fellows! The ice is so slippery, how can you climb? ”

"It's very simple, it's not like you haven't seen Director Chen climb Mount Everest, so you used that ice axe to chisel in, and then climbed up."

"Shhh Speaking of this, I immediately refreshed, Made, that thing is terrifying, especially when it comes to an ice avalanche, I almost thought he was going to plant it somewhere. ”

"But it's just autumn now, has the ice already froze on Siguniang Mountain?"

"Who knows? Wait to see the broadcast. ”

…

Because the time was relatively tight, Chen Fei did not delay for too long.

After spending the night at a hotel, the next morning he packed his gear and set out to climb.

Due to the weather, it is true that the foot of the mountain has not yet frozen, so if he wants to carry out this task, he must first climb to the position where the ice has already formed.

Red Bull has already prepared broadcast equipment in advance, and this time it is not like climbing Mount Everest before, Chen Fei needs to carry the camera himself.

Several able-bodied photographers would follow him up the mountain to complete the thrilling broadcast.

Riding to the foot of the mountain, the cameraman was preparing the broadcast equipment, while Chen Fei checked the equipment he was carrying one last time.

There are quite a few people who accompanied him on the mountain this time, and Wang Yongfeng is one of them.

"Why don't I put the equipment on your back first? I'll give it to you when you start climbing, so you can conserve your stamina. ”

"No need for Team Wang, I'm still okay with this thing, just warm up first."

Chen Fei smiled and rejected his kindness.

Because of his strength and age, Flori would choose to wait at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that Chen Fei only took some simple equipment, he was still a little worried, "Fei? Are you sure you don't need any protection? ”

"I'm sure, don't worry, I'll be back safely..."

"May God bless you!"

"God can't even protect himself..."Chen Fei secretly complained.

The two were chatting, and the broadcast over there had been connected.

"Director Chen, now you can say hello to the audience in front of the screen."

"Okay."

Chen Fei nodded and waved his hand at the screen, "Hello everyone, I'm Chen Fei, and what I'm going to challenge today is to climb the 6,250-meter-high Qimei Peak along the ice wall without protection measures."

By the way, the new movie "Source Code", which I directed and starred in, will be released worldwide on October 1st, and I hope you can support it if you have time.

Then, let's start climbing now! ”

Because there was no barrage, Chen Fei couldn't see what the audience was saying, so after a simple greeting, he started to set off.

The cameraman specially handed him a microphone so that he could give some knowledge to the audience in front of the screen during the climb.

At this time, in the second round of interview room of "The King of Kung Fu", Wang Zhonglei's face was a little gloomy.

"I kind of understand, he's doing this ice climbing challenge to promote the new movie!"

Sitting on the sofa, Minkov looked very interested, "This is a great promotion, even if it is unique in the world." ”

Wang Zhonglei pursed his lips and complained: "Who is like him, he doesn't even want his life..."

On the TV, Chen Fei's popular science voice attracted a lot of people's attention.

"The mountainous area of Qimeifeng has a unique geological structure, steep mountains, surrounded by glaciers, diverse climates, coexistence from temperate to perpetual motion zones, and rich biodiversity, which is the habitat of wild giant pandas.

In 1995, Siguniang Mountain was rated as a national scenic spot, in 96 years it became a national nature reserve, and in 01 it was also rated as a national AAAA tourist attraction, the scenery here is very good, welcome everyone to come and play......"

The group climbed the mountain at a fast pace, all professional, and no one was left behind.

However, the audience in front of the TV obviously didn't care about this, and their attention was focused on the "giant panda" that Chen Fei just mentioned.

"Uncle Lu, can you see the giant panda?"

Jing Tian turned his head to look at Lu Zheng beside him with a curious expression.

"I can't say this, I have to try my luck, maybe it is possible, or maybe it is not."

"Okay."

The young lady of the rich flower in the world was quite interested, and her eyes were staring at the TV without blinking.

There are many people who are following this broadcast.

Even Liu Yifei, who was preparing to be on the show, let the makeup artist smear on her face at this time, while she herself stared at the TV screen without blinking.

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's appearance on the side, and always felt a little weird.

Black tight tank top, short skirt, stockings, curly hair......

This outfit directly covered up Liu Yifei's dusty temperament!

But the stylist was arranged by Sony, and Sony was responsible for the publicity planning and everything, so she didn't have much to say, so she could only watch her daughter become more and more ugly by the makeup artist......

"Yikes! There really are pandas! ”

The sudden exclamation startled both the stylist and Liu Xiaoli.

The two subconsciously looked at the TV screen, and then saw Chen Fei, Wang Yongfeng, and the staff of Red Bull all standing in place, motionless.

In the camera lens, a black and white giant panda can be seen standing in the forest, staring directly at Chen Fei.

"There are really giant pandas!"

The fans who were watching the broadcast in front of the TV cheered, their eyes full of heat.

However, in the forest at this time, Chen Fei's face was very solemn!

"Pay attention to it, retreat slowly, try not to make too much movement, don't alarm it, let's take a detour, we have a lot of people, it doesn't dare to catch up."

Different from the excitement of the audience, a group of people in the forest were very nervous at this time.

Pandas are cute, but only if they stay in a cage at the zoo instead of going head-to-face with them like they do now!

In the legend of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", this thing was Chiyou's mount in ancient times, and it also had a name called "Iron Eating Beast"!

It doesn't just eat bamboo, it's also aiming for meat!

…

Perhaps because there were more people on Chen Fei's side, the giant panda did not take the initiative to rush over, and after seeing them leave, he turned around and hid in the dense forest.

"Whew!"

With a sigh of relief, Chen Fei said very solemnly to the camera: "If you encounter a giant panda in the wild, don't take the initiative to tease it, national treasures are not just vegetarians." ”

Wang Yongfeng nodded in agreement, adding: "In the process of mountaineering, the beast is the most dangerous level! ”

The climb continues.

As the altitude increases, the bitter cold wind begins to fall.

Everyone stopped for a brief rest, and the cameramen all put on oxygen equipment to prevent their bodies from being high.

…

Steady pace, everyone climbed all the way.

When they reached an altitude of 5,000 meters, when everyone turned a mountain col, the scene in front of them changed abruptly!

The gravel under your feet is covered with snow, and the mountain road becomes uneven and unusually steep, with the slope of the peak directly approaching 45 degrees.

As far as the eye could see, there was no place that was flat!

At the same time, the oxygen level began to drop rapidly, and the exhaled air was instantly completely covered with hoarfrost.

"We're here."

Chen Fei stood firm and looked up into the distance.

The vast sea of clouds spread out layer by layer, and the dazzling glow swayed down, reflecting on a crystal clear ice wall, as if it was covered with a gorgeous coat.

The ice wall presents a 90-degree vertical plane, extending from an altitude of 5,000 meters to an altitude of 6,250 meters, like a dead end connecting earth and heaven!

Rao has already had a preliminary image of the word "ice climbing", but when he saw this ice wall, the audience in front of the screen still widened their eyes and their faces were full of disbelief.

Extra-high altitude, huge drop-off, real natural hazards......

It's all about !!

However, in the face of this unimaginable desperate situation, Chen Fei did not hesitate at all, and just silently took out the ice draft from his backpack.

"The challenge... It's officially started! ”

The camera shakes slightly, and the camera begins to slowly move upwards from the bottom of the ice wall, taking in the entire ice wall in the frame.

The sun that originally existed in the sky must not disappear without a trace.

In the dark sky, black clouds rolled like an angry tide, roaring and roaring!

The huge ice wall is as smooth as a mirror, and the frost and air are intertwined, creating a rich chill!

If the 300-meter ice and snow wall of Mount Everest is already in danger, then the 1,250-meter-high ice wall in front of you is a desperate situation.

Here, endurance, physical strength, reflexes, and even thinking and consciousness must be improved to the highest state, otherwise you will never succeed in reaching the top!

"Bang! Bang! ”

With two crisp explosions, the ice axe pierced into the ice mercilessly.

Because the bottom layer of ice is not too hard, the crampons on the hiking boots are perfectly embedded in the ice and provide strong support.

Chen Fei resolutely began to climb.

When the camera lens was pointed at him, the audience in front of the screen all opened their mouths wide, and their hearts were filled with strong shock!

They couldn't imagine how bold a person must be to charge at the threat of death from ice avalanches, ice cracks, and slipping hundreds of meters at any moment!

…

Chen Fei's climbing speed was very fast, and the ice axe was swung up by him, and with the crampons, he crossed more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

But this speed did not make the audience excited for him, but made more people start to worry.

"? Won't you fall, will you? ”

"Slow down, why are you climbing so fast? Don't you want to die? ”

"Shhh Thousands of meters of ice walls, moving forward bravely, it's too shocking! ”

"Director Chen... It's too strong! ”

"Counting the entire entertainment industry, no one dares to use such an exaggerated way to promote their new movie, this is completely making a bet with their lives!"

…

"Bang!"

Each drop of the ice axe causes a cloud of ice to scatter in all directions.

However, because of the reason for wearing goggles, Chen Fei did not care about these, but continued to forge ahead on the premise of ensuring stability.

Raise your left foot and kick forward.

I only heard a "click" sound, and the crampons that were firmly stuck on the tip of the shoe instantly penetrated the ice and pierced deeply into the ice.

"Hoo ......"

With a sigh of relief, Chen Fei did not stop, but used the "French ice climbing technique" to climb skillfully.

Three points are fixed, one point is moved, and the center of gravity is shifted......

His movements are very fluid, and each movement can be described in eight words: "flowing smoothly and in one go".

The coordination of limbs, ice axes, and crampons is even more natural and very skillful.

In the cameraman's lens, it is evident that the smooth ice wall gradually forms a zigzag path.

This is known as the "French Ice Climbing Technique".

It minimizes the fatigue of climbers and improves climbing efficiency.

There are two very different ways forward in this set of technologies.

One is called the Flat Step Pose!

One is called Forward Kick!

At the beginning, Chen Fei chose the "flat step", as the name suggests, that is, climbing upwards in a straight state.

But now, as the altitude increases, the ice is gradually hardening, so he gradually switches to the "forward kick style".

As the name suggests, it is to kick your toes against the ice wall and use the front part of the crampons to bite the ice to assist in ice climbing.

This method was carried in the "Extreme Survival Skills in the Wild", and Chen Fei could be regarded as applying what he had learned, and it happened to be put to use here today.

"It's a smooth movement."

Wang Yongfeng secretly sighed in his heart.

As a mountaineering enthusiast, he also has a deep understanding of rock climbing and ice climbing.

Therefore, he could see that Chen Fei's physical fitness must be extremely strong, otherwise he would not be able to adapt to such a climbing method at all!

However, the disadvantages of this climbing method are also very obvious.

Without the help of a riser, this method simply won't last long without the blessings of strong physical fitness.

For example, now, with the increase in altitude and the continuous increase in the hardness of the ice surface, Chen Fei has begun to frown.

His physique is indeed strong enough, but the constant swinging of his arms makes his "stamina" extremely depleted.

And as the ice became harder and harder, he gradually found that his "strength" was a little insufficient, and each time he swung the ice axe, he could no longer continue to penetrate deep into the ice.

This situation is fatal!

If the ice axe fails to penetrate deep into the ice during a chisel hit, there is a high chance that it will fall off on the way to shift the center of gravity.

And now, he has come to a position at an altitude of 5,500 meters, and if there is a slip and fall, the consequences are unimaginable!

"Whew!"

With a sigh of relief, Chen Fei finally gritted his teeth and gave an order to the system.

"Dude, it's your turn to play, give me 100 strength and 100 stamina!"

The voice of the system soon sounded in my head:

[Ding: Deduct 200,000 reputation points, increase strength and stamina values...]

According to Chen Fei's previous experience, when a certain value exceeds 99 points, a challenge task (SSS level) will be triggered.

For example, the last "anaerobic climbing of Mount Everest" was successfully triggered after the "physique" attribute broke through 99 points.

Now, with both Strength and Endurance breaking through "99", this also means that two "SSS-class" challenge missions will be triggered next.

It also means he's going to start playing with his life again!

But Chen Fei didn't regret it, anyway, the task would be triggered sooner or later, and it would be the same if it was completed early or postponed.

Moreover, the situation he is facing is too dangerous.

In order to ensure that he can cross this 1,250-meter-high, 90-degree vertical ice wall unharmed, he must act!
