After two and a half hours of walking slowly, Li Xiao and the others finally arrived at the base camp of Mount Everest.

Before they got close, a huge stone tablet with a height of 8 meters appeared in front of them.

8844.43 meter

This is the total height of Mount Everest. If Li Xiao had come here earlier, what he would have seen would not be this new huge stele, but a 5200-meter monument representing the height of Mount Everest Base Camp.

The overall appearance of the Everest Base Camp is far from what Li Xiao imagined.

Rows of tents sit very neatly on this fairly level clearing.

There are not many tents, Li Xiao just calculated silently, and there are only thirty or forty of these colorful tents in total.

It's no wonder that Mu Ercuo was so excited when he heard yesterday that he could bring them a lot of business.

Even if a tent can sleep 2 people, there are less than 100 people here. This business is indeed a bit too bleak.

Since the base camp is located on a relatively open flat land, the wind is still very strong when there is no shelter.

With the sound of the rushing wind, the snow on the ground was rolled up to form very small snow tornadoes.

When Li Xiao was at the foot of Mount Everest, looking up at the majestic snow-capped mountains, it was hard to imagine how cold and how strong the wind was on the top of the mountain. That is the most magical place in nature, which is amazing.

Now the distance is only shortened by 7 kilometers.

The environment of the base camp is completely different from the environment of the parking lot below.

Li Xiao can clearly feel that the air here is thinner, and the lungs seem to work harder every time they inhale, the wind is stronger and the temperature is lower.

Here, it is already the edge of the restricted area of ​​life, even the Sherpas would not choose to build a village here.

Because of Li Xiao, they set off earlier.

So when we arrived at the base camp of Mount Everest, it was only a little after 11 o'clock.

The people who stayed in the base camp were cooking. A big man wearing the same style of down jacket as Golmud greeted him with a smile.

"Yo? Why is there only one guest today?"

Golmud smiled and introduced Li Xiao's situation.

"This guest came here urgently with a VIP, and he asked for a special form. He will only stay for two days before going back. Therefore, the higher-ups asked us to merge the teams."

Hearing that Li Xiao was actually a VIP, the big man showed envy in his eyes.

VIP passengers can earn more than ordinary passengers.

After all, the bulk of their income as tour guides is not based on dead wages, but based on commissions.

I have worked so hard to bring 10 ordinary passengers here, maybe none of them can earn as much as a VIP.

However, the big man quickly made psychological adjustments. Although the income of VIPs is high, he often encounters some "Gods" who don't obey orders and have a lot of things.

One carelessness may cause an accident.

A tour guide is needed to wipe his ass, thinking of this, the big man's mind suddenly feels a lot better.

He stretched out his hand and introduced himself to Li Xiao:

"Huang Songxi, Han Chinese, but I have been here for more than 20 years. Nice to meet you."

"Li Xiao, also a Han Chinese, nice to meet you."

"Let's go, just open the pot and I'll ask Pasang Droma to make more for you."

Led by Huang Songxi, the three of them came to the front of the two blue tents.

The design of the camp is very particular, in order to avoid the fire situation.

The cooking stove is about seven or eight meters away from the tent.

A windshield wall built of stones stands next to the hearth.

Just enough to block the stove from the wind and at the same time provide a decent shelter for the tent behind.

At this time, a girl in a red down jacket was cooking lunch in a pressure cooker next to the stove.

And behind her, there were eight boys and girls chatting in low voices while taking two mouthfuls of oxygen from time to time.

These boys and girls are very young.

Although most people are tightly wrapped by clothes and oxygen masks.

But Li Xiao could easily tell from the tone and voice of the other party that they were boys and girls in their teens at most.

Li Xiao was a little surprised and didn't expect that young people nowadays have such special hobbies.

Because although there is a mobile phone signal here, the signal is very poor.

Not to mention browsing videos online, even sending a text message has a delay of several minutes, so everyone's social interaction has returned to the traditional face-to-face chat.

I don't know if I have illusions from time to time, but Li Xiao feels that without the high-tech products with him, the distance between people is closer and more sincere.

Although Li Xiao's soul is a middle-aged uncle in his 30s, his current body is a young man in his early 20s, so they quickly became one.

These eight people are all students of Xijing University and members of the school's mountaineering group.

Among them, the two men and two women in the junior year are two couples.

The two from the north were Zhang Ming and Zhuo Yuyi, and the two from the south were Huang Anfeng and Zhao Qianqian.

The other four were Xie You, a freshman girl, and Fan Jianbing, a freshman boy.

Shen Man, a sophomore boy, and Xi Mengjie, a sophomore girl

Everyone is very outgoing and enthusiastic, and Li Xiao soon chatted and laughed with several people.

At this time, Xie You, who was relatively short, suddenly stared at Li Xiao motionlessly.

Fan Jianbing, who was sitting next to him, teased with some taste.

"What? Xiaoyou has taken a fancy to our brother Li? Could it be love at first sight?"

Li Xiao took a breath, good guy, although the other party's words sounded like teasing, the jealousy in his tone must have been too much, and he could smell it from far away.

But Li Xiao also noticed that the little girl was indeed staring at her all the time, could there be something on her face?

Hearing Fan Jianbing's ridicule, Xie You's already slightly red face turned even redder, and she said with some embarrassment:

"Brother Li, have I seen you somewhere?"

As soon as Xie You said this sentence, several people around immediately laughed and booed.

Because this sentence sounded like Xie You wanted to strike up a conversation with Li Xiao.

Fan Jianbing's face turned pale, and he felt as if he had eaten several live flies, and he could still hear the flies buzzing in his stomach.

What kind of cheap is this, how could I say such a thing?

This is not to create opportunities for the two of them in vain. I am really stupid.

Hearing this, Li Xiao first looked Xie You up and down.

Try to find memories about the other person in your mind.

But he quickly shook his head, his memory is very good, he can be sure that he has never seen the little girl in front of him, and at the same time, the original body has never seen her.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, could it be that the lack of oxygen on the plateau caused the little girl in front of him to have some messed up thoughts?

But in the next second, he realized how outrageous his thinking was.

I heard Xie You, who was thinking hard, clapped his hands and said excitedly:

"That's right, that's right, I know where I met Brother Li."

"Brother Li is a firefighter, right? I've watched Brother Li's live broadcast before."

Li Xiao was a little stunned, it turned out that it was the audience in his live broadcast room, no wonder he recognized him, so he nodded.

"That's right, I am indeed a firefighter, and I do broadcast live often. I never expected to meet fans even when I am on a plateau of more than 5000 meters."

Hearing that Li Xiao admitted that he was an anchor, Fan Jianbing, who was originally in a panic, heaved a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just an anchor.

However, then my heart tightened again.

Fans and celebrities, fans and anchors have to talk for days and nights, and he has seen a lot.

I have gotten along so well with Xie You these few days, I guess the other party feels pretty good about me, and after getting along for a few more days, I will confess to him when I get down the mountain.

I have to wake up [-] minutes, lest someone pry into the corner of the wall halfway.

Xie You was a little excited, she stood up and grabbed Li Xiao's hand, and said excitedly:

"Brother Li, I really like your live broadcast. If you weren't dressed so tightly, I should have recognized you a long time ago."

As she said that, she seemed to think of something, and hurried back to her tent, took out a notebook and a pen and handed them to Li Xiao, making a begging gesture with both hands.

"Brother Li, can you sign for me? I really like you."

Seeing Xie You was excited, coupled with the trotting just now.

Making her breathing a little short, Li Xiao quickly reminded:

"Don't get excited! Don't get excited, calm down, I'll just sign for you. This is a plateau of more than 5000 meters, so don't mess around."

While talking, he quickly signed his name on the other party's notebook, and at the same time wrote, academic progress, safe access.

In Li Xiao's view, these two blessings are very practical for her status as a member of a mountaineering club and a college student who often goes out.

Seeing Li Xiao's resolute and powerful handwriting on the notebook, Xie You became more excited and thanked again and again, and then sat back in his seat, holding the breathing mask and sucking hard, adjusting his somewhat excited breathing.

It is not far from the parking lot. When there are many tourists from March to June, Sherpas deliver fresh bread and vegetables every day.

Of course, it's December.

It can be said that it is the off-season in the off-season, and someone will send it every three days.

However, although there is no refrigerator, there is no need to worry about food going bad.

After all, the temperature here is too low.
