Sherpas are indeed the natives of Mount Everest.

The way down the mountain is indeed more difficult than up the mountain.

The wind was obviously more than twice as strong as when they went up the mountain. Some of the girls even needed the help of Sherpas to stabilize their bodies.

And when they went down the mountain, there was another small collapse on the top of Mount Everest, and the collapsed position was still the position just settled.

It seems that there is no chain reaction, but the chain reaction is a bit slow.

The avalanche this time was more exaggerated than the one just now, and Li Xiao could vaguely feel the rumbling rumble.

Although separated by several kilometers, everyone quietly shut their mouths.

Movements on the feet have also become lighter.

I'm afraid that the avalanche a few kilometers away will affect this place.

Tatari did not shy away from the tour group and other passengers, he reminded Golmud in a low voice:

"Hurry up and inform other people in the company that you must not approach the mountain during this time."

"Two consecutive collapses will definitely change the structure of the mountains around the peak."

"We will also change our itinerary tomorrow. Instead of going to Peak 4, go to Peak 7, which is farther away. It should be safer there."

Golmud lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and agreed to Tatari's proposal.

Golmud and everyone responded to the situation, and no one raised any objections.

We are here to travel, not to take risks.

He quickly agreed to the proposal to change the itinerary.

After the second avalanche occurred.

The team became quieter, and everyone moved quickly and followed closely behind the Sherpas.

I'm afraid that there will be an avalanche, and the other party will leave me and run away in an instant.

Fortunately, there is no collapse here, and naturally there will be no situation where the tour guide abandons the tourists.

Only after returning to the base camp did Li Xiao see that the originally empty base camp was full of people.

Some tour groups that did not come back at noon all returned.

Although the tour guides usually smile and look kindly.

It seems that Mount Everest is just an appetizer for them, and it is not much different from ordinary tourist attractions.

However, only when there is an unexpected situation, can we see that everyone's awe of Mount Everest has actually been deeply engraved in the bones, but it is not usually shown.

Back at the base camp, which was specially reinforced flat ground, everyone's hearts finally settled down.

Not only the people from the base camp came back, but also new tourists.

Those people were the members of the Snow Leopard Rescue Team whom Li Xiao had met on the road.

But it can be seen that their arrival time is not long.

Several tall men were quickly setting up a makeshift tent.

Several women cleaned the windshield in front of the tent, as well as the snow and garbage on the stove.

Back at the camp, the tension on everyone's faces disappeared immediately.

Passengers started chatting with each other, exchanging views and experiences on different peaks.

However, this pleasant atmosphere soon disappeared.

It was getting darker and darker, and the time was getting later and later.

Some tour guides frowned, Li Xiao's hearing is very good.

Although the voices of these tour guides were as low as possible, he still heard a few words from them.

"One team is missing..."

"...It seems to be Zhuoma's team."

"I told you a long time ago, that little girl is too young to lead a group by herself, so you just don't listen."

"...Where did they go today?"

"...It seems that you are going to the No. 4 mountain?"

"Could something have happened? It collapsed twice and won't be buried there, right?"

"How can this be?····"

"Where's the satellite phone? Is the satellite phone on?"

"I called... Dolma didn't pick up at all..."

"This is troublesome, can't something really happen?"

Just when the atmosphere in the camp was getting more and more wrong.

Several black figures appeared from the distant mountain road, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now there is only one team missing in the camp, and that is Zhuoma's team.

Now that a figure appeared in the distance, it meant that the tour group that had thought something had happened had finally returned.

But it didn't take long for everyone to relax.

Because soon someone sensitively discovered that there was a difference in the number of the returning team and the original team.

"No, there are fewer people, Zhuoma's team seems to have 12 people!"

"Now only 7 have come back, and Zhuoma's hat with the red feather is not in the team."

Everyone's discussion became louder and louder, and the members of the tour group also noticed that the atmosphere in the camp was not right, so they shut their mouths one by one and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The people in the base camp couldn't sit still anymore, and several Sherpas and guides walked quickly towards the direction of the team.

Li Xiao also sensed that something was wrong, and followed them closely.

When they got close, everyone gasped and knew that something must be wrong.

Not only did the number of people change from 12 to 7.

Half of these seven were injured, although none of them were serious injuries.

Golmud grabbed the Tibetan tour guide in the team and asked anxiously:

"What the hell happened here?"

Sadness flashed across the eyes of the tour guide caught by him, and his eyes were already red. He said in a harsh voice:

"We were affected by the chain reaction of the avalanche. A falling rock fell down and directly collapsed the large glacier, splitting our team in two."

"The scene was too chaotic at that time, and I had to protect the two ladies in the team and hide in the crevice of the mountain."

"I didn't notice what happened at all. Anyway, when the collapse stopped, I found that the other half of the people led by Dolma had disappeared."

"I searched for two hours in there, but couldn't find anything."

"Everyone panicked, some team members were injured, and everyone's emotions became unstable because of the avalanche."

"I have no choice but to leave a mark and bring everyone back, because I am also worried that there will be another collapse there, and it will be over."

Everyone's faces turned pale, and Li Xiao looked down at his watch.

Since they were traveling faster on their return trip, it was only a little over 5 o'clock now.

But winter nights come earlier, and now the sky has begun to get dark.

The light has become dim, and everyone's mood is a little heavy.

Going early and returning early on Mount Everest is a rule that needs to be strictly followed.

If there is no plan to build a camp, then the tour team must come back early, depending on the distance, and must return to the camp before 5:[-] at the latest.

The tour group led by Dolma has no plan for camping at all.

Of course, you will not carry sleeping bags or tents, which are used to build camps.
