On the edge of the cliff, Bi Fang twisted his arms around the rope, squatted half-crouched and lowered his center of gravity, focusing all his attention on the opponent.
"When performing a normal rescue, you can wrap the rope appropriately to prevent it from slipping, but don't wrap it too tightly, otherwise both people may end up in danger. I used a tightening sleeve to trap the other person. This is a very practical rope.
, similar to the cowboy nooses you often see in movies and TV shows.”
"OK, can you raise your left hand a little higher? Then bend your arms and try to grab the stone next to you. There is a raised stone slightly to the left under your left foot. It is about ten centimeters and half a distance away.
The sole of your foot is almost the same. Can you try stepping on it?"
Bi Fang observed the surrounding environment of the other party and asked the other party to act according to his request as much as possible. If there was a support point, the noose could be tightened tighter.
After hearing Bifang's words, the other party slowed down his breathing, then held his right hand on the ice wall, provided some friction, and gave it a gentle push.
The rock beneath him rolled instantly, and the climber fell straight down!
The audience let out a burst of exclamations. The life-and-death rescue made their adrenaline surge wildly. Even Yao Jun and others below the rock wall were panicking to death. Although they could not see the real situation due to sight problems, they also
You can watch the live broadcast! There is even a WiFi signal at the base camp!
Fortunately, the opponent successfully stepped on the rock at the last moment!
【Oh my god, it’s so exciting.】
[No more talking, I feel the urge to urinate, so I go to the toilet against the wall]
【Already have bifurcated urine.】
The sun gradually sets on the horizon, casting shadows on the ice walls, with orange and black intertwining into darkness.
Bi Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead. This kind of rescue was also very taxing on him, especially at high altitudes. The physical exertion and the beating of his heart almost disrupted his breathing rhythm.
Fortunately, the opponent stepped on a rock and had a relay point. The next step was much easier. Bifang pulled the rope, and the noose that originally covered the opponent's left arm quickly tightened, visibly strangling the thin coat.
It tightened a circle, but this slight movement once again caused the gravel to slide.
But relying on the semi-protruding rock under his feet, the opponent did not slide further.
Seeing that the rope was tightened, Bi Fang reminded the other party again: "OK, OK, relax. Take a deep breath, don't be afraid, I've got you now! It's very strong, I will pull you towards me later, if I can
If so, try your best to push towards me, can you do it? It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it, but it’s best if you can do it.”
"I'll give it a try."
"Then I'll start pulling!"
Bi Fang quickly changed his breath three times, then took the last deep breath, suppressed the breath, and pulled hard with both hands. A huge force instantly came from the climber's left arm. There was no resistance. Following this force, the climber
He pushed hard with his left foot, but he never expected that this kick did not bring enough reaction force to the climber, but instead stepped into the abyss!
The entire rock broke away directly from the ice wall and fell into the cliff.
The climber with one foot in the air fell quickly, but in the next second, a huge pulling force caught him alive.
"Damn, it's so heavy!"
Bi Fang gritted his teeth and held on to the rope. The other end of the rope was pulled tightly by two forces and tightened again, tightly holding the climber's arm.
The climber who was hanging in the air was shocked. After realizing that he was being pulled, he quickly got close to the wall to provide the only remaining support.
Fortunately, the distance between the two parties was close enough. As long as Bi Fang pulled him up two meters, the other party could successfully reach the platform where Bi Fang was standing.
The other party grabbed the platform, and with the combined efforts of the two, they finally managed to escape from danger.
[Damn, I finally got rescued, it made me suffer from diabetes]
[The late emperor had diabetes in the middle of the broadcast before he was halfway through watching it]
【】
The climber lay down on the ground, and Bi Fang also sat down on the rock. He took out a thermos bottle and drank a swig of water to relieve his physical discomfort. He was even a little dazzled when he looked at the drone in front of him.
"Oh my God, I haven't adapted to the high altitude very well. A sudden high-intensity exercise made me a little dizzy. Brother, you are too heavy."
The other party seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock. A large amount of sweat came out from the bridge of the other party's forehead and nose, and then froze into frost under the cold wind.
The other party did not respond, and Bi Fang was not annoyed. He understood this situation very well and took a sip of water silently: "Many times when people are in danger, they may not be too scared due to the effects of adrenaline, but afterwards
This is often the reason why I break out in a cold sweat, or even become seriously ill."
It wasn't until the sky turned completely dark and the entire Mount Everest fell into darkness that the man struggled to get up from the ground. At the same time, Rob and others finally rushed over.
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
"fine."
Bi Fang shook his head. Although the other party came a little late, he did try his best. If he had stayed here for a day and made initial adaptation, maybe Rob could also climb up directly from the rock wall, but it is a pity.
Yes, he didn't. If he climbed rashly, he would probably be trapped instead of saving others.
Death is common on Mount Everest, and few people would risk their lives to save others.
In other words, everyone who comes here is mentally prepared.
Rob looked up at the ice wall on the side. The stones floating on the ice slope were scary. If the wind was strong, they might slip down. Then he looked down at the mountaineers who were still breathing. The experienced man suddenly understood.
Enlightenment, I probably understand what is going on.
I am afraid of steep climbs and slippery descents. This time my opponent encountered "slippery descents".
This situation is very common on Mount Everest. There is usually a large ice slope above the ice wall. The scenery above is very beautiful. Many people who come to Mount Everest will go there to take pictures. It is easy to slip and fall while walking and taking pictures. Rob has led him there.
In the team, someone slipped and fell twice.
Some reasons include not paying attention when taking photos, and some reasons include bringing a pair of cheap crampons with only front paws and landing on the heel first, causing instability.
The other party wanted to come as well.
Sure enough, when the other party came over to thank and introduce himself, everyone understood everything.
The man's name is Zelong. He has been in XZ for many years and has already integrated into the local life.
Moreover, this guy arrived in LS in 2006 when the train was first opened, and he had already experienced the poetry and distant places that others said. His days in LS were extremely leisurely. He slept until almost noon every day, and then got up to bask in the sun and drink sweet tea.
A day passed while staying at a B&B with only seven rooms. Half of the year was spent working and half of the year was spent playing.
During this period, Zelong tried self-driving, cycling and other outdoor activities, but these activities were relatively easy for him. Over time, Zelong fell into the same dilemma as office workers: this kind of life seemed to end at a glance.
By chance, Zelong participated in a mountaineering activity under the introduction of a friend and climbed to the top of Qizi Peak, which is 6,206 meters above sea level.
At the moment when he stood on the top of the mountain, Zelong finally knew what was missing in his life.
A state of burning passion, the moment when you stand on the top of the mountain and feel your heart beating, life blooming, and you feel that you are still alive.
These things can only be obtained from mountain climbing, to challenge, to break through, and to enjoy the exciting state above the snow line.
So this laid-back innkeeper trained desperately to improve his physical fitness and fitness, learn and accumulate knowledge in the mountains and ways to deal with problems. Zelong sold the inn, spent all his savings to collect more than 200,000, and embarked on the climb.
The road to the top of Mount Everest.
Then he pounced.
Everyone: "."
[Wori, selling your house to climb Mount Everest...I actually feel a little inspirational?]
[Understood, let’s go sell the house now!]
[Hey, dreams are reserved for people who don’t have to think about making a living, but I still have a child in elementary school to raise. Being able to watch Fang Shen’s live broadcast every day is my greatest happiness. 】
【Me too, I met Fang Shen last time at the station!】
[Holy crap? Seriously, can you still meet Fang Shen? 】
[What’s this? I even drove Fang Shen and got an autograph!]
[With a monthly salary of three thousand, don’t think about what the end of the universe is.]
[But this guy is so fierce. He sells the house when he says it, and almost leads him off the cliff. Can you still ask me if he is professional, awesome, and naturally very nervous? 】
Zelong's experience resonated with many people, and Bi Fang suddenly asked: "What about your guide and teammates? Where are they? They didn't come to save you?"
Zelong scratched his head in embarrassment: "Originally, I followed the guide, but it was too late. We were preparing to evacuate and return to the base camp, but we happened to encounter the pass and the sunset again. I wanted to take two photos. At that time, I thought
We were only a few hundred meters away from the camp, so I let them go first. But when I was taking pictures, I accidentally dropped the trekking pole on the slope. I saw that the trekking pole was only a little more than 1 meter away from my feet, and then it became what you see.
That’s it”
Sure enough, Rob was not surprised.
This is why Rob never dared to let his team members act alone, even if they could only see the camp for a few dozen meters, so he just asked Yao Jun and others to stand where they were instead of going directly back to the camp to wait for them.
You never know how bold these novice climbers are, they dare to pick up things on the flowstone layer.
Bi Fang waved his hand: "Okay, okay, come back with us, it's getting dark."
"I'm really sorry, I still need to trouble you?" Zelong scratched his head in embarrassment.
Guide Rob stood up, looking at the dark environment and feeling very troubled. They had already made a long circle to descend from above, how were they going to get back now?
"It's very simple, just keep descending from here."
Bi Fang pointed to the remaining rock wall. He came up from here, so naturally he had to go down from here.
Rob came to the edge of the rock wall, turned on his flashlight and looked down. The distance of more than ten meters made him take half a step back in shock.
How the hell does this happen?
"It's not a big problem. I brought a rappel rope." Bi Fang picked up the long rope on the ground. Under the light, the long rope was dazzlingly white. Bi Fang untied the tightening sleeve and explained
He said, "Despite the small size of this rope, the actual length is fifty meters."
what? fifty meters?
The audience looked at this white rope that can be held with one hand. Is it fifty meters long?
【It should be, this rope looks so thin.】
[Is this rope too thin? It’s so thin that it can still hang someone. Is it nylon? 】
"It's not nylon. Dyneema fiber, also known as Dyneema fiber, is technically classified as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. It is the strongest substance that humans can currently synthesize. The fiber thickness of this thing is one thousandth inches, and has a significant strength-to-weight ratio, which also makes it the strongest fiber in the world."
Bi Fang tied a new knot, then searched for it on the platform, and successfully found a stone pillar, which saved him from having to nail it.
"Dyneema fiber has ultra-long molecular chains, which allows the load to be transmitted to the main chain more effectively. This physical property allows Dyneema fiber to have higher tensile strength compared with other fibers of the same mass, and the same tensile strength The higher the strength, the lighter the weight. Under the same mass, the tensile force of Dyneema fiber is 15 times that of steel. It is also anti-cut, anti-shearing, and processing even requires the use of laser. It can be regarded as a length of steel cable. It is the first choice for outdoor sports. .”
Bi Fang put the knot on the stone pillar and stepped on it hard. It was very strong.
"Will everything go down?"
Everyone, including Zelong Rob, nodded. They were all climbers, and it would be embarrassing to tell anyone that they didn't know how to descend.
After confirming that the stone pillar was strong, Bi Fang wrapped the rope around his waist, handed one end to Rob and others, and then came to the edge of the stone wall: "Even if you are sure that the stone pillar is strong, don't descend rashly. It is best to use double or even triple insurance. Then come to the edge, tilt back a little, apply gravity, and wait until it is fully tilted and still firm, then you can start to slide down. At this time, it is best to wear gloves, otherwise it will be easily scratched. "
The tilt test was completed, and Bi Fang, who had confirmed safety, began to descend little by little. Descending was much easier than rock climbing. He could descend from a distance of more than ten meters in a few breaths.
Then came Zelong, Rob, and the Sherpa porters.
The rescue was completely over when everyone came down.
"Damn, this is too dangerous, brother, you are such a cruel person." Yao Jun watched Bi Fang put away the rope, with lingering fear. On the live broadcast, he was like sliding to the edge of the cliff, unable to make any movements, and still a little bit The scene of sliding down is really disappointing.
Zelong was a little embarrassed by the praise and bowed again to apologize: "I have caused you trouble."
Bi Fang shook his head: "It's okay. We are all compatriots. It's normal to help when we encounter difficulties. But next time it's best not to leave the team and act alone. If I hadn't heard, you would have been completely finished at that time, you know?"
"Even if I die, I won't be able to leave the team. I will stay with the guide even if I die!"
Bi Fang smiled and then returned to the camp with Zelong.
After Zelong expressed his thanks again, he left the team and went to find his own tent.
Returning to the tent, Bi Fang immediately approached the stove to warm his hands, while Wang Yongbo and others began to make dinner. They didn't even know what happened.
Bi Fang picked up a bowl of unknown food and put it in his mouth. The sticky texture almost made him spit it out.
"Holy shit, what is this?"
“Egg noodles.”
Wang Yongbo handed over the chopsticks with an expressionless expression. At their altitude, the boiling water was only over 80 degrees, so it couldn't cook anything at all.
