On the eighth day, the camp at an altitude of 6,000 meters once again ushered in several large groups of troops. The Sherpas in front were carrying many luggage and walking on the snow-dotted mountain roads, while several groups came up at the same time from behind.
Ren He had sharp eyes and saw many Asian faces at a glance, but he was not sure which country they were from. There were two other teams with black faces, possibly African teams. Ren He had heard Smail say before that the African teams
The mountaineering team is not easy to deal with, and their temper is not very good.
When they got closer, Ren He heard a lot of Taiwanese accents and standard Mandarin. It turned out that the two teams of Asians were all Chinese. Ren He was quite happy to see so many compatriots here at the same time.
Smile introduced to them from the side that one was the Chinese team and the other was the Taiwanese team. The leader of the Chinese team was a great man named Xia Boyu. Although he had failed to climb Mount Everest four times, he never gave up. Once because of
He retreated after encountering a storm, and once an earthquake in Nepal caused the Nepali government to stop all mountaineering activities... His luck always seemed to run against him.
Ren He took a deep look at Xia Boyu and found that he was already an old man in his fifties. Can such an old man really climb Mount Everest?
People always only remember the winners and forget the losers, so Ren He felt that there must be something special about people who are remembered even if they fail. At least at his age, he is still struggling to conquer Mount Everest. It is really impressive.
It's not easy anymore.
What Ren He didn't expect was that Lei Ming and An Xian in their team both knew Xia Boyu. Come to think of it, one of them is a mountaineering enthusiast and the other is a reporter for a travel magazine and has rich mountaineering experience. Presumably this old man named Xia Boyu
He is also quite famous in domestic circles. After all, those who can lead a team to climb Mount Everest are not ordinary people in China.
Ren He asked An Si if he knew him, and An Si said he had heard that this old man’s foot looked fine now, but it was actually a prosthetic leg. He was still 24 years old when he first climbed Mount Everest. At that time, he climbed from 7,900 meters to
While sprinting towards the peak, he encountered a sudden storm. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and returned to the camp at an altitude of 7,900 meters. However, one of his teammates lost his sleeping bag, and he kindly gave up his sleeping bag.
In the end, his own feet were frozen in the extremely cold weather and turned from red to purple, and finally from purple to black, and he had to amputate them as a last resort.
But even so, he never gave up his dream of climbing Mount Everest. However, he missed Mount Everest every time.
When someone asked him why he insisted on persisting in his dream of climbing Mount Everest, Xia Boyu's answer was interesting: "Because the mountain is right there."
Ren He was horrified after hearing An Si's introduction. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be a prosthetic leg!
Such people have not given up yet, how can they give up?!
Under the friendship of Thunder and Safety, Ren He's team, Xia Boyu's team, and Taiwan's team decided to start joint training activities next week, so that they can take care of each other when they hit the 7,600-meter altitude, and practice together at a distance
There are still 5 days left, and this period is the time for the Chinese and Taiwanese teams to adapt when they first arrive.
Smail had no objection to this, but he felt that it would save him more trouble...
This training trip to an altitude of 7,600 meters was the furthest anyone had ever walked. It lasted for several days and even required several campsites in the ice and snow.
In fact, climbing Mount Everest is far from as simple as climbing a mountain for ordinary people. You can climb a mountain in half a day, sit on the top of the mountain and have a sip of tea, and then go down the mountain leisurely.
On the road to conquering Mount Everest, everyone must be prepared for a protracted battle. After the body truly adapts to the plateau, they can finally launch the final impact in one breath!
However, at the beginning of the new week, when everyone gathered in the morning to start the training plan, there was no movement from the Taiwan team, not a single person.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, they still couldn't see their people, so Smail and the others went to the Taiwan team's camp to look for them and found that they were still sleeping.
Xia Boyu asked why the Taiwanese team was still sleeping since they had agreed to set off together. The leader of the Taiwanese team said slowly and leisurely: "Our Sherpa guide did not wake us up in time. If you want to blame, blame him."
"Is this your attitude towards climbing Mount Everest?" Xia Boyu's face turned dark at that time. Climbing Mount Everest has become the most important thing in his life for Xia Boyu. He couldn't accept it when he saw others being so careless.
"We have already conquered two snow-capped mountains with an altitude of 8,000 meters. You Chinese may think it is difficult to climb Mount Everest, but we don't think so," the Taiwanese team leader said with a smile.
Ren He raised his eyebrows when he heard him say "you Chinese". Hey, are you trying to cause trouble? Are the people of Taiwan Province so arrogant?
The other Chinese people present were also a little angry, but no one really fought over it at an altitude of 6,000 meters.
Fighting also requires physical strength and oxygen. If you are fighting and fighting, you are deprived of oxygen. What’s the point of fighting?
But Ren He is different...
Of course, he also understands that in fact, people who have experienced climbing 8,000-meter snow-capped mountains will not take Mount Everest too seriously. After all, there is no need to climb vertical ice walls here, and there are no real dangers that are difficult for humans to conquer. Some are opened up.
Good roads.
But if they really underestimate Mount Everest after climbing other mountains, they will definitely pay a heavy price.
When the Taiwanese first arrived at the 6,000-meter camp, they seemed to be in better condition than most people, but that was not what Ren He cared about...but...this group of people were trying to split the motherland.
How can you bear it? Although Ren He is not as angry as An Si, he will never be ambiguous about this kind of thing.
Don't talk about values and issues left over from history. Ren He won't listen to these things.
If you are told that you have altitude sickness, are you afraid?
Because the Taiwan team went back on their word, the training for the 7,600-meter sprint was put on hold. Smail and the others are actively contacting other teams, hoping to pass.
At this time, everyone still hopes that there will be more people, and even if the weather suddenly changes at this location, everyone will have enough time to return to the camp at the foot of the mountain.
Everything is normal here, but there is a little problem with the Taiwan team...
Ren He would go to the Taiwan team for a walk every day. As a result, three people from the Taiwan team cried every day and three people vomited for more than 20 minutes. Ren He didn't care whether the symptoms were consistent or not. He just threw the skills out casually, and then
Return to the camp and continue chatting with Yang Xi and Ansi.
So the Taiwan team was also very confused. One day, they were crying while others were vomiting, but the next day they were vomiting and others were crying. There was no sign or pattern...
All the teams on the entire 6000-meter platform were surprised. What kind of disease did the Taiwanese team have to cry and vomit?! And the people who cry and vomit are different every day. This altitude sickness must be too serious, and the psychological quality is also bad.
Not good!
If you said you had climbed several 8,000-meter snow-capped mountains before, you were bragging, right?
…
10,000 rewards will be added, good night everyone...
