Chapter 115 Khumbu Terrifying Glacier

Flag clouds are indeed rare on Mount Everest.

And Zhao Fei is not lying, Qiyun is luck, and its local meaning is very good.

Those who can see it are all blessed.

It was undoubtedly a very good sign that Zhao Maimai could see Qiyun on the eve of their climb to Mount Everest.

So after hearing Zhao Fei's words, except for Zhao Maimai who looked slightly embarrassed, all the Sherpas around him looked in agreement.

Among them, Tenzin took a step forward and touched his chest with one hand: "Master Zhao, please allow us to climb the Holy Mother Mountain with you this time!"

Mount Everest is the Holy Mother Mountain in the eyes of Sherpa people.

For them who live at the foot of Mount Everest all year round, climbing is like our usual running.

It has already become a habit.

And Zhao Fei could also guess that Tenzin and the others had obviously received orders from above.

The reason for requesting companionship was not just because of Qiyun just now.

Even if Zhao Fei wants to refuse, I am afraid these Sherpas will wait for them to leave and follow behind to ensure their safety.

Instead of doing this, it is better to agree directly.

Ask Tenzin and the others to help carry some oxygen bottles and drone batteries.

Even if Zhao Fei doesn't consider himself, he still has to consider Zhao Maimai's safety.

Mount Everest is nearly 9000 meters above sea level. Even if Zhao Maimai does not have altitude sickness now, he will definitely not adapt to the heavy physical exertion during the climb.

So Zhao Fei didn't try to be brave.

There is no need to refuse the kindness of these Sherpas.

However, Zhao Fei did not intend to go with the Sherpas, but asked them to follow him in case of emergency.

In this way, no matter what Zhao Maimai encounters on the way, he will have a backup plan.

The risk can be said to be reduced to a minimum.

"Thank you." Zhao Fei sincerely thanked these Sherpas.

No matter what their reasons are, even if these people have basically climbed Mount Everest and returned safely, now is not the most suitable climbing season after all.

Setting off now is undoubtedly a big risk.

"It's okay. Under the guidance of Miss Mai Mai, we saw the flag cloud today. This is the revelation given to us by the Holy Mother, indicating that there is no risk in this climb."

"Just call me Mai Mai. I'm really bothering you this time." Zhao Mai Mai smiled and extended her hand to the Sherpa who looked very young at first sight.

"Hello, my name is Garza."

Young Galza's slightly immature face instantly turned red when she saw Zhao Maimai reaching out her hand.

This was the first time he saw such a beautiful girl.

So I'm quite embarrassed.

He who hesitates knows how to giggle.

"Galza, why are you giggling?"

Tenzin slapped Garza on the head and shouted, "What did I teach you when I came here? Shaking hands is basic courtesy. Take off your gloves quickly."

"Oh, I, I forgot, I'm sorry."

Garza scratched her head, took off her gloves with fussy hands, and stepped forward to shake Mai Mai's hand carefully.

Smiling like a flower.

Obviously happy.

But his eyes were extremely clear, without any distracting thoughts.

"Haha." Zhao Maimai smiled, feeling that these Sherpas were quite cute.

Then, several people discussed the details of the climb.

The weather near Mount Everest these two days has been pretty good, with no high-pressure cyclones, which is considered a window period.

So we all decided to start climbing Mount Everest tomorrow morning.

In addition to Zhao Fei and the other two, there are three Sherpas who will follow them. The leader is Tenzin, as well as Garza and another experienced middle-aged man.

……

Travel No.20 day.

When Zhao Maimai wakes up in the morning, he still has a bowl of nourishing Chinese medicine soup.

Naturally, there is also a health spring this time.

During this period, Zhao Fei was thinking that he was going to climb Mount Everest soon, so adding two bottles seemed okay.

But recalling the result after he used too many skill books last time, he only put one bottle in to be on the safe side.

"It seems easy for you to make soup. I'll make it for my parents to try when I get home."

Zhao Maimai drank the nourishing soup. The more he drank, the better it tasted. It was sweet and juicy. After drinking it, he was full of energy and his whole body was full of strength.

"Okay, let's go see the two elders together then." Zhao Fei nodded, put on a one-piece down jacket, and installed crampons on their hiking boots.

Since most of Everest is now covered in ice and snow, crampons are essential.

Whether you are going up or down the mountain, it has a great anti-slip effect.

The equipment also includes safety belts, carabiners, telescopic ladders, and other essential items.

Putting on a one-piece down jacket, hat and windproof glasses, Zhao Maimai looks like a little gray penguin, looking very cute.

Especially after Zhao Fei put on his big backpack and stood together with Zhao Maimai.

One big and one small.

The contrast is very strong.

When the two walked out of the RV, Tenzin was stunned when he saw the two of them.

Especially the big backpack behind Zhao Fei.

They have never watched Zhao Fei's live broadcast, but they only know that Zhao Fei is very important, so they can't help but come forward to persuade him at this moment; "A Fei... you brought too many things.

It takes too much energy. Take some things out of the backpack and we will help you carry it. "

"Don't worry, Uncle Tenzin."

After getting along yesterday, the relationship between the two of them has become a lot closer, so the names are naturally relatively intimate: "I have very good physical strength.

This little weight is not a problem at all. "

"A Fei, this is different. When climbing..."

Seeing that Uncle Tenzin didn't believe it, Zhao Fei felt a little helpless, so he walked to the RV on the side, squatted down and kept grabbing the chassis of the RV.

As he stood up, the RV was lifted three centimeters.

For a moment, Uncle Tenzin was stunned, and the Sherpas next to him were also full of disbelief.

When he looked at Zhao Fei, there was no longer any contempt in his eyes.

"A Fei, you...is this a natural divine power?"

"Absolutely." Zhao Fei clapped his hands and didn't care.

He carried a lot of things, mainly to relieve Zhao Maimai's pressure.

So Zhao Maimai didn't even have a backpack on his back, and everything they needed was in Zhao Fei's backpack.

"You are a true warrior." Uncle Tenzin gave a thumbs up and stopped trying to persuade him.

It even feels like they are a bit redundant.

Originally, when Zhao Fei said he wanted to accompany him on the mountain climbing yesterday, he agreed without being pushy. Uncle Tenzin was quite happy.

I feel that the tasks assigned above are not as difficult as they say.

Zhao Fei is easy to get along with and a very obedient young man.

But now take another look.

It was obvious that Zhao Fei agreed because he didn't want to embarrass them and didn't want to reject their kindness.

I have even guessed the above arrangement.

Even without them, Zhao Fei is fully capable of leading Zhao Maimai to the summit successfully alone.

Thinking of this, Uncle Tenzin instantly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle Tenzin, I'm sorry to bother you with the oxygen bottle. We may not be able to use it, but to be prepared, let's go ahead and contact you via walkie-talkie if anything happens."

"Okay, don't worry, just tell us if you have anything, we'll be right behind you."

"Thank you."

Zhao Fei nodded to Uncle Tenzin and the others, then opened the live broadcast room without hesitation.

Ready to climb.

Looking at the backs of Zhao Fei and the two walking away.

Uncle Tenzin smiled and lamented why he thought so much.

Zhao Fei was capable, but after all, there was Zhao Maimai beside him. Uncle Tenzin also liked such a little girl who was about the same age as his own girl.

Naturally, he didn't want to see anything happen to Mai Mai.

So they are still important.

It is the escape route for Zhao Fei and the two of them, and it is also the final guarantee of their safety.

Thinking of this, Uncle Tenzin laughed again and told the two Garzas next to him: "The rest of us are watching the camp, we are about to set off.
We can't lag too far behind them. "

……

"Good morning, brothers."

Zhao Fei and Zhao Fei waved their hands at the hanging drone: "After 20 days, we finally arrived at the foot of Mount Everest and officially started climbing today.

This is a moment worthy of historical witness.

It's mine and it's yours, let's do our best together. "

"Brothers, come on." Zhao Maimai also raised the ice ax in his hand, full of momentum.

Knowing that Zhao Fei was going to climb Mount Everest today, many fans in the live broadcast room had been waiting for it.

So the moment the broadcast started, hundreds of thousands of people flooded into the live broadcast room.

And still increasing.

"Be brave Mai Mai, don't be afraid of difficulties, come on."

"It's finally about to begin, bitch, you must take good care of my Mai Mai."

"When I got up this morning, I heard the magpies chirping, so I feel that I will have good luck today, and I also want to bring this luck to the two anchors.

I wish you all the best and success in reaching the top. "

At the moment of the broadcast, not only a large number of fans were waiting.

Li Hai backstage at Douyin.

At this moment, he put down the teacup in his hand, stood up from the office chair, strode out of the office, and stood in front of all the staff of the Operations Department and the Propaganda Department.

Shouted: "Are you all ready?"

"Mr. Li, don't worry, as long as you give the order now, our Propaganda Department will immediately rush to the front to help anyone who opens our Douyin app.

The first thing I saw was Zhao Fei’s live broadcast room.

And our major channels, partners, etc. will immediately prepare all advertisements and can be laid out at any time. "

"Mr. Li, the same goes for our operations department. We can definitely guarantee the stability of the live broadcast room within these three days.

One of our working groups has now headed to the base camp at the foot of Mount Everest.

If there is a problem with Zhao Fei's drone, we will immediately take care of it. "

"very good."

Li Hai nodded excitedly and said, "I believe everyone in the operations department knows what Zhao Fei's live broadcast has brought to us.

Just 20 days.

Our daily activity has increased by 5.00% compared to before.

Don't underestimate this 5.00%, which is equivalent to nearly one million people.

Now the attention of Zhao Fei's live broadcast room has reached nearly 2000 million.

Our goal is to have the number of real-time online users in Zhao Fei's live broadcast room exceed [-] million within these three days, creating a record that cannot be achieved by future generations in the history of live broadcast.

Now...get all moving. "

Suddenly, everyone in the entire work area became busy.Those on the phone and typing on the keyboard are all in order in chaos.

As a listed company, Douyin itself has great energy, especially in the field of live broadcast and short video.

Now that it's moving, the effect is quite astonishing.

The real-time number of people online in Zhao Fei's live broadcast room is rising steadily.

100 million!

200 million!
260 million!
As a result, Zhao Fei's fan base is also increasing rapidly.

……

Zhao Fei was not clear about this.

At this moment, the two of them were still connected to each other with a safety rope of about three meters just like they did last time they climbed Dongda Mountain.

Zhao Fei is in front and Zhao Maimai is behind.

Zhao Maimai put on hiking boots with crampons for the first time and felt very uncomfortable.

Because the crampons would sink into the snow with every step, so you had to use a lot of strength to lift your legs up.

As a result, the difficulty of climbing has increased linearly.

"be careful."

Noticing that Zhao Maimai's steps were a bit messy, Zhao Fei slowed down and reminded: "Although it is difficult to walk on the snow, you should never step on some hard rocks just because it is difficult to walk.

Because it's easier to slip.

There are still some uneven places. When moving forward, remember to keep your feet firmly on the ground before taking the second step.

Don't be in a hurry.

The most taboo thing when climbing is to be anxious. "

"Understood." Zhao Maimai took a deep breath and followed Zhao Fei's instructions. Even though it would be more laborious to lift his legs later, he still stepped on each step firmly and steadily.

"Looking at Mai Mai, it feels so hard."

"To be honest...if I hadn't heard Zhao Fei and Mai Mai's voices now, I wouldn't have recognized them. They were wrapped too tightly."

"Brother, the temperature at the foot of Mount Everest has already reached minus [-] degrees Celsius. Do you think this is home, and you can wear whatever you want?"

The current temperature of Mount Everest is indeed as stated in the live broadcast room, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

And the higher you climb, the cooler the temperature becomes.

Sometimes the lowest temperature at the top of Mount Everest can reach minus [-] degrees Celsius.

"If you are tired, just tell me if you feel uncomfortable, and don't insist." While Zhao Fei was moving forward, he was also paying attention to the situation of Mai Mai behind him.

"I know."

Zhao Maimai nodded lightly and adjusted his windproof glasses.

He lowered his head and followed Zhao Fei step by step, slowly but steadily.

The constant 'click-click' sound of stepping on the snow gradually made the chaotic live broadcast room gradually quiet down.

Especially with the drones pulling up.

The figures of the two people gradually turned into a small dot, which was not worth mentioning compared with the majestic Mount Everest covered with snow.

But if you want to grow, you have to keep moving forward.

Life is such a process, constantly enriching yourself and making yourself better.

In this process, there have been hardships, sweetness, crying and laughing, but as long as we move forward step by step, we can cross that mountain sooner or later.

See the scenery on the other side.

So fans in the live broadcast room were very touched when they saw this scene.

"I'm 30 years old this year, and I feel really stressed recently. I don't dare to get sick, let alone my parents. I have no savings or a house, and I don't dare to date a girlfriend.

Eating instant noodles, squeezing on the subway, living in shared housing, and often working overtime until late at night are commonplace.

Have to get up early the next day.

Because you're 1 minute late and don't clock in, you'll get a special deduction.

I don’t want to tell my parents about these pressures to save them from worrying.

I can only endure it silently.

But I also wanted to find someone to talk to, but when I looked through my address book, I could only smile bitterly.

Until I saw the anchor's live broadcast room.

I seem to have found sustenance, where I can share my difficulties casually, especially when I want to give up, it is the anchor who gives me motivation again.

Think about it carefully, after all, the second generation of rich people work hard like this.

What qualifications do I have for not working hard? "

"The guy upstairs really spoke to my heart. I was a taxi driver. One time when I came home from get off work late at night, I saw a middle-aged man crying on the roadside.

I don't know what he went through, but I can feel his sadness firsthand.

When I got home, my wife asked me how much money I made today... I silently handed the entire money to her, then went back to the room and cried silently.

The child saw it and asked me what was wrong.

I touched his head and said: Dad ran away three hundred yuan today, so happy! "

"The sadness of adults only lasts for a moment, but we still have to yearn for beauty. Zhao Fei did not give up on himself even though he was terminally ill, so how can we give up.

Work hard, Saonian. "

……

Zhao Fei didn't know what everyone in the live broadcast room was saying.

They had been walking for more than two hours now, and luckily the wind didn't pick up.

Otherwise, they might have to go down the mountain and start over again when the weather gets better.

But at this moment they still encountered problems.

You can see that in front of the two of them, there is an ice crack about three meters wide, blocking their way.

Zhao Fei did not feel any surprise and said softly: "This time we climb Mount Everest, it will take almost three days to reach the top.

The first challenge is the crevasse in front of us.

It is called the Khumbu Glacier by climbers, also known as the Terror Glacier.

Because the glaciers are criss-crossed with large and small cracks, you may fall into them if you are not careful. There are also tall icicles and seracs that may fall down at any time.

According to the survey.

The Khumbu Glacier accounts for about a quarter of the victims who have climbed Mount Everest over the years.

One can imagine the danger of Khumbu Glacier.

But now that the equipment conditions are good, as long as you are careful, it won't be a big problem. "

Zhao Fei asked Mai Mai to stand there and wait. He checked before approaching the crevasse, looking for a relatively strong place that would not collapse easily.

Then Zhao Fei took out the rope and telescopic ladder.

The telescopic ladder seems to be only about one meter, but it is like a fishing rod and can be stretched up to five meters. It is also very strong and can be stepped on by two people.

Then, Zhao Fei first found a protective point on the spot, and tied one end of the rope to the protective point to fix it.

The other end passes through the safety belt around the waist of the carabiner.

Then put the extension ladder on the crevasse.

In this way, even if an accident occurs while walking on the telescopic ladder, there will be a protective point to hold it, and you will not fall directly.

"I'll go and have a look first."

"Be careful." Zhao Maimai nodded, knowing that he couldn't help, so he listened to Zhao Fei's words and stood still without moving.

Zhao Fei took a deep breath and stepped on the telescopic ladder tentatively.

Looking sideways and looking down, the cracks in the ice are not very deep.

But if you fall, you will be caught in the narrow space, and the ice is very slippery, making it impossible for one person to climb up without help.

The telescopic ladder is sturdy and does not tilt at all when you step on it.

But it's still a little wobbly.

In fact, with Zhao Fei's physical fitness, he can jump directly over with a little run-up.

But it is still too dangerous to do this. No one knows whether your landing point on the other side is a crevice in the ice or the ground.

If you are unlucky, you will miss the mark and be doomed.

So even Zhao Fei must be careful.

"The most important thing when crossing this kind of ice crevasse is not to be afraid, don't panic, and don't look down. Take your time." Zhao Fei gave Zhao Maimai advice as he moved forward.

Zhao Maimai is also observing carefully.

That's what she did when she was in Dongda Mountain, and she does the same now.

Minutes later, Zhao Maimai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Fei reach the other side safely. When he stepped forward and was about to try, he was stopped by Zhao Fei.

"Wait a minute, I'm pulling a safety rope for you. It will be safer for you to hold on to the straight rope for a while."

Zhao Fei could feel that the telescopic ladder was shaking just now.

This was unavoidable, because an extension ladder was needed for the rest of the way, and it was impossible for him to keep the extension ladder securely here.

But if you don't have something to hold on to, it's easy to lose your balance.

So Zhao Fei built another protection point on the other side, tied one end of the rope tightly, and threw it to Zhao Maimai.

"Now tie the rope to a safe point, hold on to the rope, and step on the telescopic ladder to come over little by little. Remember not to be afraid and take your time."

When setting off just now, Zhao Fei tied the safety rope on Zhao Maimai.

Now that he can hold a straight rope in his hand, it is equivalent to having one more fulcrum than Zhao Fei just now, and he can better control the balance of his body.

The risk is reduced a lot.

Zhao Maimai nodded seriously with a small face. It was quite scary to see Zhao Fei walking forward with his hands raised just now.

Now that I can hold a straight rope in my hand, I feel much more at ease.

He moved his feet and stepped on the extension ladder tentatively.

Feeling the shaking of the telescopic ladder, Zhao Maimai took a deep breath, resisted himself from looking down, and followed Zhao Fei's example just now, moving forward little by little.

"Yes, good job, that's it, take your time."

Zhao Fei stood on the other side, watching Mai Mai walk over little by little. He was even more nervous than when he was on his own, for fear that Mai Mai would fall off accidentally.

Although it is not life-threatening, injuries may occur.

It's best if it doesn't happen naturally.

"There are still three steps to go, there are still three steps to go." Zhao Maimai concentrated on it and told himself in his heart.

"Don't be anxious. The closer you are to success, the less anxious you can be."

Zhao Fei had just checked the area. Except for a few ice cracks further away, everything was safe under his feet.

So at this moment, he could grab Zhao Maimai and pull her over.

But Zhao Fei didn't do this.

Because the meanings of the two are different, only one who tries it personally and walks through it step by step can experience the thrill and excitement.

Only then will something be gained.

There are many such ice cracks in the entire Khumbu Glacier. If Zhao Fei helps Zhao Maimai every time.

Then the real meaning of climbing Mount Everest will be lost.

"I am coming."

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Zhao Fei could still hear Zhao Maimai's joy from his voice, and said with a smile: "Isn't it that difficult?"

Zhao Fei untied the safety rope on her body and threw it aside.

"Well, I feel like I can get through it even if I don't have to hold on to the rope next time."

"Okay, let's try it next time."

Zhao Fei smiled, took out the walkie-talkie and said: "Uncle Tenzin, we have just passed a crevasse and there are two safe spots left. You can find it when you get here and look carefully.

We took the telescopic ladder and moved on. "

"Got it, received it, we've brought a telescopic ladder too, don't worry."
