At the beginning of the fire to save people, I was broadcast live as a firefighter

Although it was more than 11 o'clock in the evening, the lights here were brightly lit.

This parking lot is quite spectacular.

Li Xiao dare to say that this is the largest flat parking lot he has ever seen.

The entire parking lot consists of 12 areas.

Because it is low season, only two of the areas are open.

However, Li Xiao estimated that these two parking lots alone could park at least three or four hundred cars.

However, since it is not the peak season now, there are only more than 100 vehicles parked here and there in this huge parking lot.

The parking lot of the base camp is 7 kilometers away from the base camp, and it is also the closest place where cars can approach the Everest base camp.

There are a lot of containers outside the parking lot, and these containers are placed here by the locals as a simple hotel.

Li Xiao opened the door, and a gust of cold wind rushed into the car.

His spirit was originally a little sluggish because he had been sitting in the car for a long time and the road was still very bumpy, but he was refreshed again when he was blown by the cold wind.

The three of them took their belongings, and Golmud quickly led Li Xiao into one of the green containers.

The container is not big, but it gives people a feeling of complete internal organs.

Entering the door is a low knee table that can seat 4 people.

Behind the low table are two canopy beds, which can provide accommodation for 4 people.

A slightly rudimentary toilet separated by a splint behind the bed.

Golmud turned on the heating device inside the container.

Soon, this slightly cramped temporary residence slowly warmed up.

Watching Li Xiao keep looking at the layout inside the container.

Golmud thought he was dissatisfied with the living environment, so he quickly explained:

"Don't think it's small, but it's actually bigger than many travel agencies."

"Ours is a container for 4 people, and most of the containers are for 8 people."

"There's less privacy and less space for each person."

"Being able to live in a container is already very good, and some travel agencies with relatively low prices even need to live in tents."

"The whistling wind blows in, and the sound of the wind alone makes people unable to sleep."

Then Gemuer changed the topic and said with a smile:

"Of course, no matter how bad the environment below is, it must be much better than inside the base camp."

"The environment above the base camp is really bad. Not only is it windy, but it's all tents."

"But don't worry, our company's tents are all double-layered to keep warm, and the environment will be better than ordinary tents."

"And we only stayed for one night, so we passed by."

Li Xiao nodded to express his understanding.

The three tidied up their personal hygiene and soon fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, the alarm clock in the room rang at 2:6.

Li Xiao opened his eyes, and the little tiredness in his eyes from yesterday was gone.

6 hours of sleep is enough for him to recover all his energy.

Gemuer got up earlier than Li Xiao.

I took out a pressure cooker from the cabinet early, and added some dried meat and rice that had been soaked the day before.

The pressure cooker worked for half an hour, and a pot of very dense beef porridge was completed.

There is a lot of salt, and it tastes sweet and delicious. After eating, Li Xiao feels warm and very comfortable.

After breakfast, Golmud and Mu Ercuo took Li Xiao to the real base camp.

The base camp parking lot still uses cement pavement.

However, it was only a few hundred meters away from the parking lot.

The road surface has become a dirt road made of dirt and gravel.

It gave Li Xiao a feeling of going back decades.

Beyond the bridge, the muddy path deviates from the banks of Dudkosi and winds its way up the canyon wall, through fragrant pine forests.

The majestic two flute-shaped snow peaks pierced the sky.

It's a magical land, but it's not wilderness, and it wasn't for hundreds of years ago.

Some areas were cleared for cold-tolerant crops such as buckwheat and potatoes.

Strings of prayer flags hung all over the hillside.

Ancient Buddhist shrines and beautifully carved walls stand like sentinels on the tallest peaks.

When Li Xiao and the others abandoned the river and came ashore, all kinds of people appeared on the road in twos and threes.

Travelers from elsewhere, trekking pilgrims, herds of yaks, monks in red robes, and barefoot Sherpas bent over under the weight of wood, kerosene, and drink.

In fact, the journey into the mountain is not deserted. There is also a small village of Sherpas here.

This small village is indeed very small. Li Xiao made a rough calculation, including the sheds for storing livestock, and there are only a few dozen buildings.

Lived by some very young and very old Sherpas.

I watched a few children who were only six or seven years old, running and playing on the snow in some worn-out padded jackets.

Li Xiao couldn't help but gasped. Could this be the true strength of the nation most favored by Mount Everest?

In the case where others need to move carefully one step at a time.

Children as young as a few years old can already walk like flying on the snow.

On the way to the base camp, the scenery is very beautiful.

The trails lead them through patches of larch, dwarf white zen, pine and rhododendron, thundering waterfalls, charming rock formations and trickling streams.

The temperature began to drop slowly, and the area covered with snow became larger and larger.

Those exposed rocks have been completely covered.

By this time, Li Xiao and the others had realized enough: they had finally entered the range of Mount Everest!

Along the way, the two tour guides explained a lot of knowledge points to Li Xiao, a layman.

You can't shout loudly, you can't do strenuous exercise, and you can't drink water in large gulps.

Inhale oxygen immediately if you feel dizzy, and wrap your body in a blanket and get close to the fire if you feel hot.

Do not take off the goggles for a long time, otherwise there may be a risk of snow blindness.

All kinds of knowledge, very detailed, after all, the other party belongs to a professional company.

And Li Xiao is not their first guest, the company already has a set of standard procedures to deal with guests in different situations.

If the 7-kilometer distance is replaced by flat land, it may take only an hour for ordinary people to complete it.

However, it took a full four and a half hours for three strong and strong adult men.

The main reason for this is that the 7 kilometers is just a straight-line distance between two points, but the height difference between these two points is as close as 500 meters.

The road conditions are also very bad.

Of course, the team can actually move faster.

During yesterday's exchange, the two tour guides also knew about Li Xiao's profession.

But Golmud did not take it lightly.

He has seen many physically strong guests, and he has also received professional athletes who are more professional than Li Xiao.

The physical fitness of these people is not inferior to that of Li Xiao, a professional firefighter.

But that doesn't make him particularly merciful, after all, this is a plateau with an altitude of 5 kilometers.

The environment is peacefully completely different.

Some national athletes who walk like flying in the plains can only walk slowly like ordinary people when they come here.

Because the first iron rule that cannot be violated on Mount Everest is not to exercise vigorously.

Once strenuous exercise, the consequences are likely to have a chain reaction, such as the most basic high altitude lung disease, or high altitude cerebral hypoxia.

Although there is a resident medical point in the Everest base camp, the medical conditions above can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The treatment of ordinary trauma and altitude sickness is even more improvised.

But trying to deal with such a serious illness in the body system seems a bit powerless.

This situation can be more serious than the problem on the train.

After all, if there is a problem on the train, it only takes one or two hours to reach the next destination.

After getting off the train, you can find a professional medical team for treatment.

But if there is a problem in the base camp of more than 5000 meters and you want to find help, it will be extremely difficult.

Even if you have money and are willing to spend a lot of money, it will take a few hours to find local Sherpas to transport the patient down by manpower to the parking lot of the only base camp that has vehicles.

It would then take several hours to get to the nearest hospital.

Some people may ask why it takes several hours to send it to the nearest hospital, can't it be treated nearby?

Nearby treatment is of course possible.

But the nearest ones are only the health stations in townships.

You read that right, it is a health station, and it is a small health station that only serves a few hundred people in relatively bad conditions.

At most, you can only hang a little hanging bottle, and you can't even perform surgery.

After all, there are not many people below Mount Everest, and most of them are tourists who come here for fun.

The nearest cities are several hours away by car.
