Mini World Of Endless Fun Awaits

At 4 a.m. on April 8, when Zhang Helai's team officially set off from the fifth camp, there were only 12 people left in the team.

They set off in three teams. There were supposed to be 20 people, but eight of them developed serious physical discomfort while resting in the fourth camp. It was not vomiting blood or other serious symptoms, but lying lazily on the ground as if they were drunk. He was so confused that even if he forced himself to stand up, he couldn't tell the difference between shoes and a thermos bottle - yes, one guy picked up a boot and stuffed it into his mouth, wondering why there was no water.

In this case, they could only stay in the fourth camp and wait for the Kamiya people to escort them down the mountain.

Because they are on Mount Hyjal, which is more than 8,000 meters above sea level, the oxygen here is only one-third of that on the ground. Even if they wear oxygen masks when sleeping at night, they cannot suppress the insufficiency produced in the body.

Compared with them, Zhang Helai was lucky in that he could remain conscious and continue to persevere; but it was also unfortunate that his physical fitness reached the limit and he had to consume more oxygen to maintain his skills.

Even though they had rested for six hours in the fifth camp, which was as big as a football field, Zhang Helai felt that his body was extremely heavy when he woke up.

When they set off together, the team members next to them could also see that Zhang Helai was carrying more oxygen bottles than they were - this was a very dangerous value. Someone patted Zhang Helai on the shoulder and pointed to the oxygen bottle. Zhang Helai shook his head, so no one continued to persuade him.

They must cherish the power of speaking and fulfill their human obligations: to persuade others to cherish their lives.

Anyone who dares to conquer Mount Hyjal must be responsible for themselves. Even though the climbing process of Mount Hyjal has been set up to be very safe, they can see many corpses buried in the snow and ice waterfalls along the way - except Some of the corpses were difficult to collect because their locations were too strange, and the rest were of climbers who had died on the road due to various reasons in the past two years.

There is no doubt that Mount Hyjal is a natural ice coffin. Death here decays extremely slowly, and because climbers are often fully equipped with cold-proof equipment, those who come after seeing the corpse will not see the rotting flesh and bones, only the rotten flesh and bones. Come to the road sign corpse monuments standing on the snow-white glaciers.

This is the truth about Mount Hyjal and the mountaineering roads above 9,000 meters: each road is built step by step with the lives of countless climbers. Some of them are not even roads. You have to rely on experienced hands to nail the ropes on the cliffs at an angle of almost 90 degrees and slowly climb over. Sometimes when you encounter a broken mountain road, you have to ask the experienced hands to fix the ropes and place the boards. Then slowly climb over the cliff at 9,000 meters. If you make a mistake, you won't even be able to find the body.

At first, they would have some complex emotions such as fear of this kind of corpse monument, but in the end they were completely relieved. When passing by, they nodded slightly to say hello - after all, they might also become a part of it, and now it was considered as early as possible to say hello. Say hello to neighbor.

Either conquer nature, become nature, or give up. If you dare to come here, no one will be responsible for your life.

All climbers have their own desires, whether they want to have an experience that they can show off, or for fame and wealth, or because of dreams, but at the top of the world above 9,000 meters above sea level, they only have one idea left: conquer it. Then live!

At around 8:50 on April 9, they had followed the mountain road to the signpost at 9,810 meters above sea level. It would take at most two hours to climb to the summit of Mount Hyjal. After taking photos, they arrived at 1 p.m. You can smoothly descend the mountain and return to the fifth camp before the point.

The latest descent time for Mount Hyjal is 13:00. If it is any later, the unpredictable weather will prevent the climbers from returning to the camp before dark, and may even lead to death on the way. When Zhang Helai and the others saw the 9810-meter road sign, there was a corpse buried in the snow next to it - no one knew whether he froze to death because he was trapped here by the weather.

At this time, Zhang Helai developed severe nausea, paleness, cold sweats and other symptoms, and slowly fell behind the team. His oxygen bottle was also depleted - he was suffering from severe hypoxia symptoms.

Even if he could persist until he reached the top of the mountain, he would not be able to descend due to lack of oxygen. He had overestimated his physical ability, consumed his oxygen too quickly during the climb, and was now at the end of his rope.

It was impossible for him to return now, so he held up his body and took heavy steps, thinking that even if he died, he would die at an altitude of 10,000 meters - the future life security of his family, which he had arranged before choosing to come to Mount Hyjal. alright.

No one will help him here. At most, they can only tell the Kamiya people the location of Zhang Helai's body after going down the mountain, and ask the Kamiya people to bring his body back and notify his family to take the body back for burial.

The lack of oxygen made Zhang Helai's body heavier and heavier, and the equipment on his body seemed to turn into chains extending from the mountain, trying to keep him in this natural burial place forever.

At that time, he didn't have many thoughts in his mind - ordinary people have a chance to turn back before they die. People with hypoxia will slowly lose consciousness due to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain before death. Even the luxury operation of 'recalling' is difficult. does not exist.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness and close his eyes, Zhang Helai heard a strange sound coming from below amid the howling of the cold wind.

That was the sound of sand and gravel produced by the collision of rock formations.

Did something fall? Or did the wind blow open the icefall?

Zhang Helai reluctantly opened his eyes. In his hazy vision, he saw a figure appearing below him.

Below...the figure...?

Zhang Helai was walking on a mountain road, and below him was a slope of nearly 80°!

In a daze, Zhang Helai thought he was experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations due to lack of oxygen. However, soon the figure quickly approached him and lifted his oxygen mask!

The air like the wind and cold sword instantly covered his face. Without the oxygen bottle, he almost fainted with his eyes closed. However, in the next second, another oxygen mask was stuffed on his face. Zhang Helai took a deep breath subconsciously. The full amount of oxygen instantly relieved his hypoxic symptoms and brought him back from the brink of unconsciousness.

"Who saved me?" Zhang Helai regained consciousness and immediately thought: "How could someone give me his oxygen bottle?"

Each person should carry at most one oxygen bottle, otherwise the load would be too high and he would be unable to move. The oxygen Zhang Helai was breathing now was naturally other people's oxygen. He opened his eyes and turned his head, only to see an unknown face.

The wind and snow in the sky covered her blond hair with frost, and her exposed fair skin was turned red by the cold. Her thin clothes were like useless armor in the biting wind and cold sword. They only served as a body cover. Although her delicate face was sluggish He was thin, but the divine light in his eyes shone into Zhang Helai's heart like sunshine.

She held an oxygen mask in her right hand to cover Zhang Helai's face, and held an oxygen bottle in her left hand. There was a rope wrapped around her waist, but nothing else.

A... blonde girl.

A climber...without an oxygen tank.

A climber who... climbs rocks directly without taking the mountain trail.

A... climber who was climbing in a high mountain at an altitude of 9,000 meters without wearing any cold-proof clothes, with bare hands, feet and face!

Without cold-proof clothing or oxygen bottles, what is the concept?

According to the concept of a 6-degree decrease in altitude for every 1,000 meters of altitude, it is now spring in the Tidamia Plains, which is about 20 degrees. So above 9,000 meters above sea level, it is at least minus 34 degrees. In fact, when they set off from the fifth camp at 9,600 meters, The measured temperature was minus 40°.

What is the concept of minus 40°? If you spit, the saliva will freeze before it hits the ground; if a normal person is exposed to minus 40° without wearing cold-proof relics, his body temperature will drop below 25° due to heat loss in less than an hour, and the body temperature regulation center will fail. Inhibition, blood pressure drops almost in a straight line, various reflexes disappear, and there is no response to external stimuli, eventually leading to paralysis of the vasomotor center and respiratory center and death.

To put it simply, this blond girl should have turned into an ice sculpture. Her limbs are as fragile and stiff as popsicles, and it is impossible to move!

What's more, she doesn't have an oxygen tank! ?

Although among extreme mountaineering enthusiasts, some people believe that human potential is unlimited. After all, many climbers can gradually adapt to the plateau climate after training at an altitude of 6,000 meters. The alveolar oxygen partial pressure and arterial blood oxygen partial pressure of people in the plain area are 10 mmHg, but the Kamiya people in the plateau area have 1 mmHg. They need less oxygen in the mountains. will be higher.

Therefore, some people believe that as long as someone adapts to the plateau for a long time, they can climb the 10,000-meter peak of Mount Hyjal, where the oxygen content is less than one-third, without an oxygen bottle!

However, this is ultimately false. Let alone 10,000 meters, no one can climb the third camp at 8,400 meters without relying on oxygen bottles, not even the Kamiya people who have lived on the plateau for generations!

Then, this blond girl decided not to take the usual path and climbed on the cliff at an angle of nearly 70° to 90° with her bare hands...

Countless complex thoughts kept colliding, and finally settled into one sentence in Zhang Helai's mouth: "Thank you."

He didn't think that he was so charming that the blond girl sacrificed herself to save him, so the reason was very natural - the blond girl saw that he was about to die and just helped him.

The blond girl smiled, helped him remove the oxygen bottle from his back, and put the oxygen bottle in his hand on top.

Zhang Helai didn't stop him, and he didn't stand up to stop him either - worried that the blond girl would give him the oxygen bottle, causing her to die from lack of oxygen?

Shit, Zhang Helai could tell with his eyes that the blonde girl was in better condition than him!

"At that time, you should also know that the person in front of you..." Black Vest asked: "Probably not an ordinary person."

"To describe her as superhuman is not an exaggeration." Zhang Helai said with a smile, "She is simply... the goddess of Mount Hyjal, a being that mortals can only look up to."
