Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

Chapter Four Hundred and Forty [Return]

The summit was successful, and countless people cheered for them.

People including Chu Nan Gu Yue and others have realized their mountaineering dreams, and they stand on the highest peak in the world. For more than a month, they have passed many tests of Mount Everest, and they can only get a short stop on the top of the mountain for a few tens of minutes... that's enough!

Qing Tian and the others who had given up climbing and returned to the camp could not help but feel pity. They looked up at the top of the mountain with complicated expressions. They should have been grateful for their life, but now they are not happy.

With a puzzled expression on his face, Qingtian said to the team photographer: "I should have climbed to the summit with them, but...it shouldn't be like this. It's really sad that I couldn't climb to the summit with them . . . I'm not jealous, I'm just eager to get to the top of the mountain."

Hearing the yelling from their teammates on the radio, they felt even more worried, and then looked at the surrounding base, "The base camp is like a snow-covered planet, we are all exiled prisoners, come and see every day The regular teams, blowing the snow all over the sky, waiting to be released after serving their sentences after reaching the summit.”

However, most of the disasters in the history of Everest climbing happened on the way down.

Therefore, ascent to the summit is only half the battle, and safe descent is the final success.

It's time for them to start evacuating the dead zone, it's still a long way down the mountain.

Generally speaking, when most teams make plans, they will designate the first camp that descends to be the one below the assault camp, but just in case, the assault camp is ready for supplies. It is safer to set up an oxygen supply station above the camp.

On the way back, the sky was already bright, and in the daytime environment, more mummies could be seen, and they all maintained the last posture of their lives.

These corpses made people even more afraid to neglect.

When Wang Shi went down the mountain, his adrenaline dropped, and his physical strength also began to deteriorate. He slipped and brought bad news, "I was frostbitten... four fingers were frostbitten, and I have lost consciousness."

Except for Chen Ergou, other people are in the same situation as him. Only Chen Ergou can help, "Don't take off your gloves, the skin exposed to minus 30 degrees air will frostbite within 1 minute."

"Okay, I know."

However, at this moment, another piece of bad news came from the base, "The weather has changed, you must speed up!"

There was a whirlwind of white clouds overhead, which was very clear. It looks beautiful, but it contains boundless danger.

Chen Ergou didn't keep it either,

Helped a few people who couldn't walk and began to descend slowly, and barely descended to the second ledge, but the blockage here was more serious than before. Looking at it from a distance, everyone is moving at a slow speed, really slow.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and snow has even started to fall in the wind, which is very dangerous.

"Time is running out. We've been on the mountain for so long that it's cold to just stand around and do nothing."

Chen Ergou responded indirectly in the team, but with a worried expression on his face, he kept mumbling to the camera, saying: "What worries me even more is that the oxygen cylinders are used too much, and we must speed up!"

Seeing the growing snowstorm, the audience also began to worry.

"What the hell weather, wasn't it fine just now?"

Everyone complained endlessly, but there was nothing they could do, because the people in front couldn't get off, and the people behind couldn't get up, so everyone was blocked on the traffic arteries.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the team finally started to move slowly again.

Finally crossed the second ledge.

At this time, Wang Jing was already very weak due to excessive fatigue, and would fall down unconsciously every time she took a step or two, but she stood up slowly and continued to walk forward.

In the case of weak health and difficulty breathing at the plateau, it is not only extremely difficult but also quite dangerous to walk in the mountains. Now, every time they move a step, their bodies will suffer tremendous pain!

Jan Husband, the organizer of the British "Everest Committee", once wrote in the book "The Adventure of Mount Everest": "The pain that the human body suffers anywhere is no worse than that of a Mount Everest climber on the mountain." What he endured on the last day... Even if he has a perfect physique and vigorous energy, if his courage is not enough to endure the piercing blizzard, his nerves dare not step on the edge of Cui Wei's hanging rock, and his will cannot survive the death-like sleeping sickness. Pushing forward at the time of the invasion, he will still not reach the top."

For Young Husband's colleagues, his words do make sense. However, for Chen Ergou's well-equipped and motivated climbers who want to go home, what kind of difficulties and dangers can stop and block their progress?

Whether it is for fame, wealth or ideals, they have completed the feat of climbing Mount Everest during the last period of good weather before the long rainy season in the Himalayas, and now they only need to go down the mountain and return.

There is not much oxygen, and it looks like it is going to the end.

Wang Shi's condition was also worse. His ears were buzzing due to lack of oxygen, and "golden stars" burst out before his eyes, and he began to enter a semi-comatose state.

Seeing him crooked and about to fall again, Chen Ergou quickly supported him, glanced at the readings of his oxygen tank, and said, "Old Wang, hold on for a while, and there will be spare oxygen on the first ledge." .”

Lao Wang breathed heavily and didn't reply.

"Who has more oxygen!" He shouted anxiously, and several replies immediately rang in his ears.

"Use mine."

"Use mine, I still have a lot of oxygen."

The audience in the live broadcast room were immediately moved when they saw this scene. Everyone knows how precious oxygen is in such a place, but these people did not shame the Chinese, they rushed to contribute their own oxygen. Use your own actions to infect all audiences.

"Nimma, who said that the morality on Mount Everest is depraved."

"The Chinese mountaineering team are all doing well."

"Come on everyone, we must all return safely."

"At this moment, think about the dog who climbed the mountain without oxygen all the way, and compare it with everyone,... this guy is simply perverted!"

In the end, Chen Ergou chose Huang Cong, who had the most oxygen, "Old Huang, is there any problem?"

"No problem, I can still persist, pass my oxygen to Lao Wang." Huang Cong contributed nearly half of his own oxygen.

Wang Shi glanced at him, full of gratitude, but he didn't have the energy to speak. He knew in his heart that everyone was very dangerous. At the altitude known as the "death zone", once there is a lack of oxygen, the danger of suffocation may occur at any time. "Thank you...Old Huang."

"Hold on, Lao Wang, everyone will go down the mountain together."

Chen Ergou bit off the glove with his mouth, and quickly filled him with nearly half of the oxygen. The red needle on the barometer indicated that there were only a few hundred pressures of oxygen left in Huang Cong's oxygen cylinder. Wang Shi resumed inhaling oxygen, cheered up again, and went down the mountain with the team.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and all the climbers trembled in unison, and a desperate word appeared in their minds, "Ice collapse!"

The sound was so loud that the audience in the live broadcast room trembled in unison.

Chen Ergou, who had experienced an ice avalanche at close range before, also remembered it vividly, standing up and looking around.

The entire mountaintop seemed to be plunged into a hollow tremor, and the echo echoed back and forth on the top of the mountains, rattling, booming, as if a person was standing between a catastrophe and an earth-shattering.

Rumbling snow and fog began to drift over from the side cliffs, and the camera turned around, only to see large chunks of ice walls collapse, and then trembled, as if the entire Mount Everest was trembling and bumping!

Even the audience in the live broadcast room thousands of miles away, they also trembled with fear.

"Nimma, what a terrifying picture. The picture is shaking."

"I was lying on the bed watching, even my bed was moving."

"It's too scary. We just watched the live broadcast and it's already like this. How terrifying the scene must be. It feels like the end!"

Finally, the snow mist sprayed over.

The screen is completely white, and there is not much to see. The only thing left in the earphones is the whistling wind, occasionally accompanied by a few shouts.

Tens of seconds later, the picture became clear again. Everyone looked serious, but they dared not stop as they descended the mountain. It took a long time to reply on the radio, "Shusha... There is an ice avalanche, are you okay...Shusha, the road below the third ledge is nearly half covered, and there may be climbing ropes buried, everyone be careful!"

"Got it! Is anyone hurt?"

"Shusha... I don't know, I hope no one died. But this year's climbing season has ended early, everyone must return safely!"

The flying snow all over the sky, and the danger broadcast from time to time on the radio in the ear, made everyone's heart rise to the throat.

The climbers who were blocked in front obviously also got the same message. Whether they still had the energy to fight up the mountain, or those who didn't have the energy to stop in place, they were all frightened by the huge ice avalanche just now. This ice avalanche is not without its benefits, at least everyone is heading in the same direction now, and they all turned around and started to return.

The speed of descending the mountain suddenly accelerated a lot.

They finally met Adrian, Qin Feiyu and others under the first step, and they started to return on the second ledge. Because when I climbed to the second ledge, I was already unable to lift my feet up the ladder. Finally, facing the threat of death, they chose to give up.

It is undoubtedly very sad to choose to give up, especially when you have reached the second step.

Today's failure is also this year's failure. Next time, I don't know how long it will take to return to Mount Everest...but at least I can save my life.

Here you can see the huge ice cubes that fell from the avalanche just now. These ice cubes are very dangerous and may slip down again at any time. Large sections of climbing ropes were submerged. At this time, Chen Ergou had no choice but to connect everyone with ropes.

A group of people supported each other, and finally retreated safely to the 8,300-meter camp at around two o'clock in the afternoon. When they saw their tents from a distance, everyone staggered, but they walked faster and faster.

"Yeah, we're back!"

"I'm back... hey."

"Finally home."

After a brief rest, we were ready to continue our descent. It is necessary to descend to the 7790-meter camp at night and spend the night.

Chen Ergou sat down in the tent and began to pack his things. The joy of successful mountaineering is beyond words. However, at this time, the radio once again made a joke to everyone, "Help, help!"
