Flory acted quickly. He only made the call the day before, and Red Bull officially announced the news the next day.

[Mr. Chen Fei, general spokesperson of Red Bull Asia, extreme athlete, famous director, actor, and screenwriter, recently announced that he will start from the north slope of Mount Everest, challenge the off-season and oxygen-free summit of Mount Everest, and challenge the ultimate skydiving return from the summit. 】

As soon as the news was released, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet!

There are actually many routes to the summit of Mount Everest, but geographically they can be roughly divided into the south slope and the north slope.

The southern slope is located in Nepal, while the northern slope is located in China.

Taken together, the summit route on the north slope is much more complicated and more dangerous than the south slope.

Because it is controlled by the plateau climate, the weather in the north can be said to be extreme and changeable. A variety of extreme weather factors such as storms, heavy rains, and snowstorms may occur in just three minutes.

On the south slope, due to the control of the monsoon, the weather is very stable.

Therefore, all challengers around the world start from the south slope, while so far few people have challenged the north slope.

Not to mention off-season, anaerobic, and extreme skydiving.

This is purely life-threatening!

Just when Chen Fei started to make preliminary preparations and discussed with Flory how to prepare equipment, the incident began to unfold rapidly!

The first is the external network.

Because Chen Fei already has a good reputation abroad, and he successfully completed the wingsuit flying challenge before, he has attracted a lot of attention.

So when Red Bull officially released this news, many followers and extreme sports enthusiasts received the news immediately.

All of a sudden, major portal websites, media, sports newspapers, etc. began to publicize it!

Immediately afterwards, many social platforms that cooperated with Red Bull began to push users, which instantly triggered huge discussions and attention.

"Oh my god? Climb Mount Everest out of season? Skydive at an altitude of 8,000 meters? Is this the return of God?"

"Everest? The roof of the world? 8848.48? Are you kidding me?"

"Oh fuck! How many lives does this director have?"

"It's exciting just thinking about it. There will be a broadcast, right? I will pay attention to him the whole time."

"This may be the most awesome extreme challenger that Red Bull has invited in recent years, right? The US$100 million is really worth it!"

"..."

The popularity continues to rise, with Red Bull as the center, and begins to spread around the world.

Chen Fei, on the other hand, was discussing the situation of the equipment with Flory.

Because it is an anaerobic challenge, weight-bearing issues need to be considered. Even if his physical fitness is very strong, for the sake of safety, he still needs to reduce the weight as much as possible.

"As for the backpack, I specially customized it for you, striving for the maximum capacity and the lightest quality."

Chen Fei nodded in agreement, and at the same time said: "Insulation clothes must be close-fitting, hiking boots, ice sheets, windproof goggles, helmets, climbing ropes, tents, sleeping bags... these must be of the best quality and most suitable."

"Don't worry, Red Bull's equipment is top-notch." Flory assured.

Chen Fei believes this very much. As the world's top extreme sports sponsor, Red Bull has never been stingy in terms of equipment.

Because every time you complete a challenge, the benefits Red Bull will receive will be several times what you paid!

"When will it be ready?"

"The staff will go there in advance tomorrow to install the broadcast equipment. The equipment and I will arrive in three days."

"Okay, as soon as possible."

The two of them were chatting here, and the news from abroad quickly appeared on the sports channel and the three major portals.

"Sina reported: The famous director Chen Fei officially announced through Red Bull that he will set off from the north slope of Mount Everest in a few days to challenge the out-of-season summit!"

"Sohu.com reported: Red Bull! The challenge is impossible! Chen Fei, the US$100 million spokesperson, once again launched the challenge plan, climbing the north slope of Mount Everest out of season, and opening an umbrella to the extreme in windy and snowy areas!"

"NetEase Sports and Entertainment Channel jointly reported: Recently, the well-known director, actor, and screenwriter Chen Fei, who is filming the Hollywood Class A production "2012", officially announced that he will bravely climb Mount Everest without oxygen!"

"CCTV Sports Channel Report: Challenging the limits of humanity! Braving the restricted area of ​​life! Climbing Mount Everest without oxygen on the North Slope out of season! Opening the umbrella at the extreme limit in the wind and snow belt at 8848.48! The sports channel will broadcast the entire process!"

The three major portals were the first to speak out, and then major print media, newspapers, blogs, forums, etc. all responded with support.

For a moment, the entire internal entertainment area exploded!

"What the hell? Chen Fei wants to climb Mount Everest? Is it true?"

"You posted an announcement without looking at the official website? How can this be false?"

"It's impossible! Can this be accomplished? That horse riding is Mount Everest! It's not my little mountain!"

"Everyone, please pay attention. It is marked as oxygen-free out of season, and then you have to complete the skydiving on it."

"Mad! Are you looking for death? I'm still waiting to see the movie he made! Don't do this, okay?"

One call after another came. Chen Fei would choose to listen at first, but in the end he simply turned off the phone.

Most people tried to persuade him, but such persuasion was of no use to him.

What surprised him a little was that according to the news sent by Liu Yifei, Sports Network responded very quickly and actually won the broadcast rights!

However, this broadcast may not go too smoothly!

In windy and snowy areas, signal interference is extremely strong. Who would dare to follow the whole process and broadcast it?

Not even a helicopter dares to fly to Mount Everest in such extreme weather!

The staff responsible for installing the equipment was at a deadlock for a while. Finally, Chen Fei put forward an opinion, "Why don't you find a way to put that camera on me and let me broadcast from the first-person perspective?"

"This is a good idea!"

The staff member's eyes lit up, but then he said with some concern, "But this will double your load.

And in order to make the signal stable, signal source adapters must be constantly installed along the way, which also means that you have to bring another backpack.

Being without oxygen is a huge test for your physical strength. If you carry so many things on your back, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of climbing to the top exponentially. "

Hearing this, Chen Fei was silent for a moment, his consciousness sank into the system interface, and he took a look at his current reputation value.

429951.

"It doesn't matter, I can do it."

"you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure!"

After receiving Chen Fei's affirmative reply, the next process became much simpler.

Simple head-mounted broadcast equipment, two hundred signal rods, walkie-talkies... everything is very well prepared!

~

Three days later, Flory arrived with the equipment.

There were two other people traveling with him.

One of them is Sam Hardy, who came to witness him completing the wingsuit flying challenge last time, and the other is a famous extreme mountain climber in the world!

Flory introduced: "Reinhold Messner, the creator of the first successful ascent of Mount Everest without oxygen in human history."

"Hello Mr. Messner, nice to meet you."

Chen Fei solemnly stretched out his hands towards the other party.

The man in front of me is no ordinary person. He is known as the "Plum God" in the industry. In 1978, he completed an oxygen-free summit on the Norton Groove Route from the Northeast Ridge to the North Face.

This is the first summit climb without oxygen in human history!

Just because no one witnessed it at the time, many people questioned his "anaerobic".

The old man is 62 years old this year.

Known as the greatest mountaineer of all time, he was the first person to climb all 14 eight-thousand-meter mountains in the world, and the first person to complete the climb of the highest peaks on all seven continents.

Chen Fei never expected that Flory would invite such a great god!

"Fei, I admire your courage very much. I watched the entire wingsuit flying challenge with a surprised expression. I believe you can complete the summit of Mount Everest this time."

"thanks for your encouragement."

Flory added: "Messner will be responsible for explaining your summit, and at the same time, based on his experience, he will give you some help through the walkie-talkie."

"Okay, thanks."

After communicating with several people, Chen Fei began to check the equipment brought by Flory and made various preparations before climbing.

What he didn't expect was that just in the afternoon, a large group of people came from the National Sports Administration!

The leader was Wang Yongfeng, vice chairman of the Chinese Mountaineering Association and captain of the national mountaineering team. In the team he led, Chen Fei also met an acquaintance.

Sports channel reporter Li Hongwei.

The two of them are old acquaintances and have met several times. It was this person who was in charge of the interview at the last Iron Triathlon World Championships.

At the same time, there are two "great people" in the team!

Jiang Xiuzhen climbed Mount Everest on the North Slope aerobically in 1995.

Wang Shi, climbed Mount Everest on the North Slope with aerobics in 2003.

The purpose of this group of people coming here is very simple, just to witness Chen Fei's challenge.

If he had just climbed to the summit, the sensation would certainly not have been so great, but now he is climbing the North Slope without oxygen out of season, and he also has to do extreme skydiving in the wind and snow on the summit!

This is a bit too scary!

People all over the world are paying attention to this challenge. How could the National Sports Administration let it go?

If it can succeed this time, it will be a world-class honor, and the entire mountaineering world will explode into a huge sensation!

"Captain Wang, hello." Chen Fei greeted the other party politely.

Wang Yongfeng was a little excited, "Actually, I've wanted to get to know you a long time ago, but unfortunately I never had the time. Today we finally met.

This will be a great challenge. If it succeeds, it will be a historic victory for China and the entire world!

If you need help, please tell me in time, and the Chinese Mountaineering Team will provide you with unconditional help in this challenge! "

Mount Everest is located in China, and it is also the highest peak in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Fei's move is even related to national honor!

"Okay, I will definitely do it."

Chen Fei smiled and nodded in agreement.

After everyone from the Sports Bureau and Red Bull officials left the room, a group of people from the "2012" crew walked in again.

Roland Emmerich and Walker Engel both looked confused when they came in.

"Fei, we just need a lens, there is no need to risk our lives for it."

Chen Fei smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, challenging Mount Everest is my goal, but the camera just took it casually."

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were speechless.

"General spokesperson of Red Bull Asia".

These seven words seemed to give a suitable reason for all Chen Fei's actions.

"Brother Fei, I read on the Internet that this seems to be very difficult. You must pay attention to safety."

"Ya Wen is right. You must be careful. If you can't get up, remember to come back quickly. You must protect your own life."

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were chattering.

Even Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Jing Tian, ​​and Zhao Liying all started to persuade him, their words full of worries about him.

"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared. Just wait and watch the live broadcast."

After sending the group away, Chen Fei checked the equipment again.

After placing all the items in the appropriate places, he picked up the telescope on the table and looked at Mount Everest in the distance.

Today happens to be a sunny day.

As dusk approaches, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the unattainable peak, as if it has been given a crown symbolizing nobility.

"call…"

With a sigh of relief, Chen Fei carried the backpack containing all the items behind his back and walked out of the room.

Flory, Sam Hardy, Messner and others were already waiting outside the door.

Even Wang Yongfeng, Li Hongwei, Jiang Xiuzhen, Wang Shi and others were fully armed, as if they were ready to go to the "battlefield".

Flory took the initiative and said, "Fei, let's take you to the base camp first."

"Okay, thanks."

Chen Fei nodded and threw the car keys to him.

Wang Yongfeng also shouted, "We are also following, at least there is someone to take care of us on the way."

"Okay, I'll bother you then."

~

The convoy started to set off.

The 4,990-meter Gambala Snow Mountain became the first obstacle. Chen Fei was still a little worried that he would not be able to pass it. He never thought that this Toyota car was quite powerful.

Going west along Yamdrok Yumco and passing through the Karola Glacier with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, Rike comes into view.

The convoy continued to drive forward until the sky darkened, and the group finally arrived at the Everest base camp.

This place is far from the prosperous scene of later generations. As far as the eye can see, except for an open space buried in snow, there is no other object.

"Hoo ho ho!"

The wind was blowing loudly outside the car, dense snowflakes were floating in the sky, and there was no direction at all. There was only extreme depth and the loneliness that seemed to be abandoned.

The person driving the car was a staff member who came to debug the broadcast equipment. At this time, he seemed a little scared and subconsciously turned the heater gear up a few gears.

Messner was a little excited, "It's so beautiful! It's been a long time since I've been to Mount Everest."

"Beautiful? It's dark, can you see it?" Flory muttered softly.

Sam Hardy laughed and said: "Maybe this is the Chinese idiom of "touching the scene and triggering emotion"."

Pouring his lips, Flory turned to look at the back seat, "Fei, when are you going to climb the mountain? Let's go back with you until dawn."

"Okay, I'm going to start climbing to the top tomorrow."

Hours passed by, and all the cars were full of fuel. They were also equipped with energy reserves, so they did not stall.

Several people in the car were silent and gave Chen Fei plenty of rest time.

~

The alarm clock was set to ring at five o'clock on time.

Chen Fei opened his eyes suddenly, exhaled the depression in his heart, and began to do the final equipment inspection.

The alarm clock also wakes up other people in the car.

The snowstorm outside the window has stopped, and everywhere you look you can see a vast expanse of white. The feeling of being disoriented makes your heart tremble unconsciously.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, tightly tying his backpack behind him, Chen Fei took a deep breath.

The cold air poured into the lungs and began to surge back and forth in the chest, completely washing away the mental sleepiness.

The thin oxygen made him slightly uncomfortable, but it was only a little and would not affect the climb.

Several people in the car got out of the car after taking measures to protect themselves from the cold.

The staff began to debug the equipment, connect the satellite signal, and start the broadcast.

Although it is still early, the sky has already revealed the white fish belly, shining brightly on the entire Mount Everest!

Li Hongwei held the camera and couldn't help but shoot wildly around him.

At this moment, the staff member finally completed the adjustment of the equipment and opened the broadcast permission.

Domestic sports channels and foreign platforms such as Google and YouTube received the broadcast signals at almost the same time.

The time in China is around five o'clock in the morning. At that time, many people are still sleeping. Except for some people who have set their alarm clocks in advance and are waiting to watch the broadcast, most people are still asleep.

But it is different abroad.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to get off work, and many people were waiting in front of their computers or TVs, waiting for the broadcast to begin.

~

The screen flashed, and Chen Fei's face appeared on the screen.

Cheers sounded from all over the world!

"Mom, hurry up, the broadcast has started."

In the Sony Record Department, Liu Yifei rushed into Liu Xiaoli's room and pushed her hard.

"It started at only five o'clock?"

Liu Xiaoli muttered, hid her delicate figure under her pajamas, and followed Liu Yifei to the living room.

I saw that Chen Fei was making final adjustments at this time.

The camera did not stay fixed on him, but rotated back and forth in all directions, taking the entire Mount Everest into the frame.

The mountains are so high that they seem to be connected to the sky, which is daunting!

"He is really brave." Liu Xiaoli sighed with emotion.

Liu Yifei nodded in agreement, "He is so brave. He dares to climb up at such a high altitude? He is really too strong."

Seeing that her daughter's eyes seemed to be filled with stars, Liu Xiaoli shook her head helplessly.

With such a silly look, he might be eaten dry one day.

~

The same picture appears in various places.

On the "2012" crew side, under the leadership of Zhu Yawen, a group of domestic actors gathered in his room.

Everyone found a place to sit down. There was no trace of sleepiness on anyone's face, and they all looked in high spirits.

"When will we start climbing to the top?" Liu Shishi asked curiously.

"I don't know." Jing Tian shook his head, looking at Chen Fei with a tough face in the camera, a different emotion appeared in his eyes unconsciously.

This is a real man!

Talented! able! Shining brightly!

While everyone was chatting, they saw the camera that was moving around suddenly fixed on Chen Fei's face.

A very magnetic voice sounded from the TV:

"Good morning everyone, this is Everest Base Camp, with an altitude of 5,159 meters. The direction I am about to climb to the summit is the north slope. Now that all my equipment has been checked, the summit is about to begin.

Due to environmental and geographical factors, the cameraman cannot follow me up the mountain, so I will hold the broadcast equipment myself and bring you a novel experience from a first-person perspective!

Well, let’s go now! "

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen shook, and the device was installed on the helmet and successfully put on Chen Fei's head.

"Have a safe trip."

"Be sure to come back safely!"

"..."

Some concerned voices came from the scene, and the screen shook, including everyone's faces in the camera.

"Oh my god, Plum God is also here!"

"WTF? Why is this old man over there? Does he want to witness this mountain climbing?"

"Haha! I saw the King's Team!"

"Oh my goodness, Jiang Xiuzhen and Wang Shi are actually here too!"

"Good guys, they are all extreme athletes. It's true that people of the same species flock together and birds of a feather flock together."

People abroad are marveling at Messner's appearance, while some domestic mountaineering enthusiasts are surprised by the appearance of Wang Yongfeng and others.

So many big guys appeared at the Everest base camp, which shows how seriously they attach importance to Chen Fei's challenge!

~

"See you tomorrow."

Waving to everyone, Chen Fei turned around resolutely and walked towards the thick snow.

As he walked, he explained, "In the next time, I will continue to go north along this route.

After about seven kilometers, you will arrive at a serac forest, which is the first destination of my trip.

Passing through the serac forest will enter the Rongbuk Glacier, which is the second stage of climbing.

This section of the journey is about ten kilometers. Because now is not the window period for climbing to the summit, the original gravel valley road has already been buried in snow. This section of the road will be very long. Please be patient..."

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The hiking boots made a slightly harsh friction sound as they stepped on the thick snow.

Mount Everest in the summer is like an aunt's girlfriend. If you ask her to drink more hot water, she will be angry, but if you don't pour her a cup of hot water, she will still be angry.

Before walking a hundred meters, the originally clear sky turned into a haze.

The wind began to howl, and snowflakes fell on the screen, making the picture blurry.

If it weren't for Chen Fei's constant wiping, I'm afraid the picture at this time would have been interrupted.

~

The nerve-wracking half hour flew by.

Suddenly, the storm stopped suddenly, and the heavy rain that filled the sky and the earth also came to an end at the same time.

Reaching out to wipe the lens again, Chen Fei took out a signal rod from behind and inserted it into a relatively thick snow area.

The signal wand can transmit satellite signals and prevent the broadcast screen from lagging. Although it is a bit expensive, it is a complete waste for Red Bull.

After the storm calmed down, Chen Fei's voice also sounded.

“If it were during the window period, the snowstorm scene just now would be very rare, but the summer period will lead to non-stop snowstorms.

I only carried necessary ice climbing equipment, first aid supplies, and some compressed biscuits in my backpack, but there was no other auxiliary equipment.

I did not carry a spare oxygen tank, and there was no rescue team behind me.

The only one who can help me is myself. Once I encounter a crisis, I can only rely on myself to save myself.

therefore! If the broadcast signal is lost! Or maybe we encountered an avalanche! Then I will sleep here forever with an indomitable momentum!

Please don't come looking for me, and please don't cry, I was born to shine! "

call! call! call!

The wind suddenly rose, and a new round of snowstorm came again.

Chen Fei's voice disappeared, the camera began to become blurry, and the white sky and earth made people feel frightened!

Everyone in front of the screen subconsciously held their breath and stared at the screen without blinking.

Only when Chen Fei reached out and wiped it every time could they breathe a sigh of relief.

Because it means he's still alive!
