"I'm very sad!"

Huang Cong's face was full of pain. This strong man over forty years old usually spoke freely and generously, but now he even stuttered when he spoke. His eyes were red, obviously he had cried.

He said heavily: "Guys, this Sherpa suffered from altitude sickness when he was transporting supplies to the forward camp at an altitude of 6,500 meters ahead. He unfortunately left this world because he discovered it too late. This young Sherpa I hired him to work in Shengshan Company. Although he doesn’t speak Chinese well, he always has a smile on his face. He went up the mountain with his fellow countrymen and only wanted to earn some living expenses by his own labor, so I hired him But, I didn't expect...we have already...sorry, we cremated him and sent his ashes home, which is considered to have taken care of his funeral."

"call……"

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone, please complete the mountaineering journey safely. Don't stay in the tent too often, and walk around more. Although I have dealt with many corpses, the death of my staff makes me sad the most.  … ...I have to pull myself together." He couldn't continue, nodded and walked out.

Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, everyone walked out of the tent one after another.

Chen Ergou walked out of the tent with Apa, never expecting to encounter such a thing.

Looking up at the blue sky, and Mount Everest with the alpaca hairstyle, he put the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, took a long breath, and said to the camera: "This kind of thing happened in the first place, and everyone feels uncomfortable. .It is very unfortunate that there are Sherpas who have passed away. . . . I am quite surprised by this, knowing that they are here . . . for us."

"Besides, looking strong and respected, Team Leader Huang also shed tears. Seeing everyone's grief."

"This incident made me more humble."

Huang Cong was very sad, and the team work was temporarily replaced by Wang Shi.

He started to work with the liaison officer Pema Chilie to get all the supplies up the mountain, and those oxygen cylinders needed to be weighed with a scale.

Teams of yak teams dragged heavy objects up the mountain and down the mountain with rubbish on their backs.

Chen Ergou took Apa along and helped, enjoying the unique lifestyle of the base camp. He met a long-haired climber from Australia named Mark Ingels.

When he reached the summit of Mount Everest, he had to face challenges that were different from ordinary people. Regardless of his strength, everyone in the base camp respected him very much.

"Chen, do you know?"

He said with a worried face, "This time the situation is not optimistic."

"Although some timid people gave up climbing this year because of an earthquake nearby, there are still 51 mountaineering teams with a total of more than 400 people coming to the base camp this year on Guangbei Peak, and everyone is fighting for a chance to reach the summit. It's not the busiest one ever, but it's one of the best. Many people think that something will happen to the summit this time."

"I don't want to say these bad things. But I have a hunch that something bad will happen this year because there are too many people going up the mountain."

Chen Ergou was silent, and it took a long time to squeeze out a smile, and gave Mark a hug, "Don't think about it, be careful, you will be fine."

Mark nodded, "Thank you!" Leaning on crutches, he moved the pair of carbon fiber prosthetics and left.

Films of "666" and the words "admire" were posted in the live broadcast room.

Yes, this is a double amputee mountaineer. More than 20 years ago, both legs were amputated due to frostbite due to the danger of mountaineering. Most people may have difficulty climbing stairs if their legs are amputated, but he is determined to become the first double amputee to climb Mount Everest.

"Brave!"

...

Conquering Mount Everest is like fighting, and the logistics of leading the summit are extremely cumbersome.

The weight of the backpacks carried by everyone must be accurate to "grams". But climbing Mount Everest is still a life bet.

Wang Shi also took the time to tell the audience about his experience of climbing the mountain last time, "If you want to climb Mount Everest, it is really dangerous. Those who want to come must make up their minds. It is hard and dangerous, not like walking in the park. Dead anytime.

No one can predict what problems this sacred mountain will throw us next. I was terrified every second of the day, not knowing how the weather was going to change, not knowing if I was going to get sick, or who was going to fall and break their leg and not be able to go down... so many things could happen. "

In the evening, a Master Blessing Ceremony was held at the base camp.

I heard that on the South Peak, if the Sherpas don't hold a French ceremony, they will never go up the mountain. But this time all the team members participated, especially Apa, Chen Ergou's personal guide, who was very devout.

Huang Cong calmed down quickly and resumed his climbing work.

Chen Ergou also started his planned training and proposed the plan to the mountaineering team.

"What, you're not going to use oxygen?" Huang Cong looked shocked.

Chen Ergou nodded and said: "Yes, I have never used oxygen before. It is better not to use it. If this thing is used up when I reach the summit, the situation will be even worse. From today on, all my training will use The method of anaerobic mountaineering to adapt."

When this decision came out, everyone was surprised!

The so-called anaerobic mountaineering means mountaineering without oxygen cylinders.

Since Italian Messner first climbed to the summit of Mount Everest without oxygen in 1978, more than a hundred climbers around the world have successfully climbed to the summit without oxygen, but there are no Chinese people among them.

Even Wang Shi persuaded: "Xiao Chen, do you know how difficult it is to climb a mountain without oxygen?"

"Areas above 8,000 meters above sea level are called forbidden areas for humans. At that height, the oxygen content in the air is only 2/5 of that in the plains. Anaerobic climbers not only need to overcome the high cold, hypoxia and physical bottlenecks, but more importantly It's about focusing. Any little distraction can make you feel like you need more oxygen."

Chen Ergou had sufficient reasons to do so, and declined everyone's persuasion, saying: "If the strength is not enough in the end, I will give up climbing to the top!"

"So I can't act with everyone these days. I will carry out adaptive mountaineering training in advance to make up for the previous shortcomings."

On the same day, the news that Chen Ergou decided to climb Mount Everest without oxygen had already spread on the Internet. There are mixed responses on the Internet, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty, which may lead to the failure of the summit of Mount Everest or even life-threatening. But if he succeeds, he will be the first person in China to climb Mount Everest without oxygen!

However, all the outside disturbances had nothing to do with Chen Ergou.

The next day was the third day he came to Mount Everest!

At three o'clock in the morning that day, he set off on a helicopter with Apaci, one person and one backpack, and launched the first training program.

His plan is very sound. There are 5,000+ nearby peaks to climb (referring to those without ice climbing and ropes), you can choose Kilimanjaro, Siguniang 2 Peak, Haba Snow Mountain, so that you will have a basic understanding of climbing snow mountains, and at the same time have a good understanding of yourself There is also a clear understanding of the body and equipment.

But he took the training very seriously, and Apa also taught him all his mountaineering experience. The happiest thing is that his [Mountain Climbing] skill experience bar is slowly moving towards lv6.

The majestic snow peaks are endless.

The camera looks down from a high altitude, and the two backpackers are like two black ants struggling upward in the vastness.

Facts have proved that the 5,000-meter mountain peak does not hinder him.

On this day, he successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro and returned to Base Camp before 2:00 pm.

On the fourth day of Mount Everest, he successfully challenged the Siguniang 2 peak again, and returned to the base camp before 2:00 pm. [Mountain Climbing] The skill has been successfully upgraded to lv6, which is currently at full level.

That night, without hesitation, he added 1 point to the [Mountain Climbing] skill from the remaining two skill points, turning it into [Mountain Climbing] (d) lv5.

On the fifth day of Mount Everest, he conquered the Haba Snow Mountain at an altitude of 5,396 meters and upgraded his skills to lv6.

Conquering the peaks one after another has also boosted the morale of the water friends, and there are more voices of support.

This is also the last day of the base camp. The mountaineering team spent a week preparing and is now ready to go.

"Climbing three peaks in three days", when he came back, he was warmly received by the team members.

Chen Ergou felt embarrassed, "It's nothing, none of them is over 5,000 meters above sea level, but I think so. I'm ready to challenge a higher level of difficulty."

There is a famous saying in the mountaineering world: "Why climb a mountain? Because the mountain is there."

For the same question, Chen Ergou gave a different answer: "I climbed the mountain because..."

At night, lying in the bubble tent, he took out his mobile phone and found many unread calls and many text messages. After reading a text message from Master Li, he called back, but no one answered, presumably he had a rest. Dial Muyi Xiaomi's phone...

It rang eight times and no one answered. I thought I was asleep, but I was answered the next moment.

"Why? Call me so late, I'm just taking a shower."

"Bath?" Chen Ergou is very sensitive now, "Can you stop saying this word!"

"Tch, you must be smelly. Hahaha, do you have lice on your head?"

"How is it possible! Taking a bath with snow is the same." He suddenly heard the sound of water, "Hey, you are really taking a bath."

"Of course, it's good to lie to you."

Chen Ergou rubbed his nose, "I don't believe it, unless you send a photo..."

"..." an ellipsis, followed by a series of contemptuous expressions. "I want to see your Master Li."

"Please, although I want to chase her, I haven't reached that point after all." Chen Ergou was also very helpless, "I don't know if you often joked with her like this, but now she doesn't pay much attention to me."

"Blame me~"

Mu Yi Xiaomi was angry, "You can't connect to your mobile phone, and you haven't seen each other for several months. If you still want to chase girls like this, go ahead and dream. You think no one wants her."

"What, someone is chasing her?"

"cut!"

After a long while without moving, Chen Ergou tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, worrying about gains and losses. I found Li Shishi's phone number, wrote a long text message, and was about to send it, when a series of "Dididi" message prompts came suddenly.

The phone vibrated, he pressed the wrong key and clicked on the message, and all the content he had written just now was invalidated.

Just annoyed, I found out that it was Muyi Xiaomi who sent a dozen private photos.

Under the dim light, I saw a young girl in a white bathrobe, under the fair skin, a piece of spring was looming. "Good figure!" He suddenly couldn't sleep.

The next day, the whole team set off from the base camp and first arrived at the transition camp at 5800.

It probably took more than 6 hours, and then from 5800 to 6000, his only feeling is that it is very hard!

From 5800 to 6000, although there is only a short 200-meter straight-line elevation increase, but it keeps going uphill and downhill. To be honest, when I saw the slope at that time, I felt scared in my heart.
