Chapter 662 Farewell Meal 【Seeking starting point to subscribe】

Jia Long and the others are located at an altitude of 500 meters in the 'advance camp'.

After arriving here, everyone felt a huge difference from before.

First of all, it was naturally altitude sickness caused by hypoxia. Not only did Jia Long feel uncomfortable, Zhu Ying and the others also reported that they were a little uncomfortable.

Humans are not animals that evolved and multiplied in this environment, so even professionals, no matter how many mountains they climb, cannot get used to high altitudes.

It made Jia Long feel better to see that other people were also uncomfortable with this high altitude. After all, she was not too different from others.

But some people are different, that is, the pack workers who have lived at an altitude of nearly 4000 meters for many years.

While Jia Long and other members of the mountaineering team were resting, the pack workers still did not rest.

They are accustomed to high altitudes, although they have never mastered the superb mountaineering skills of the mountaineering team members, but because of their physical advantages, they can still work busy at such a high altitude.

After simply setting up the ordinary tent, they took out shovels, etc., and dug gravel and soil from the surroundings to help strengthen the tent.

Don't underestimate the mountain wind at a height of 500 meters. Sometimes when it blows violently, it can blow the tent away with people, so reinforcement is very necessary.

"I'm so envious of their physique, but it's the result of their ancestors living in such a harsh environment for generations. We can't compare."

After Jia Long demonstrated the use of basic tools, several teammates who got along well with her were very satisfied.

At this time, several people were holding the cups, drinking and looking at the packers working.

Those white youths who came to the camp were also working together. They said that they were preparing for the future, so they also worked here and asked the mountaineering team members not to interfere.

"Here, Apple."

Zhu Ying handed over a red apple that had already been peeled, and then she took out another one to peel.

"Is there any apples to eat? Wow, thank you. Aww... so sweet."

When Jia Long saw the fruit that he hadn't seen for many days, he was so greedy that he immediately hugged it and gnawed it like a little mouse.

"Actually, there's nothing to be envious of, Jia Long, haven't you noticed? Each of us is rapidly adapting to high altitudes now. This is because our bodies have been desperately producing red blood cells to transport them in order to deal with the hypoxic environment for so many days. More oxygen, red blood cells are the magic weapon to fight against the hypoxic environment, I think, after today, everyone will be able to adapt to such a high altitude."

Zhu Ying shared some knowledge.

"I see. Aww, click, click."

Jia Long can't say that he doesn't know this knowledge, it's just that he puts it in reality and doesn't combine knowledge with reality so well according to local conditions.

This advanced camp will become an important place for their climb this time, or it is true that they will be the life supply line in the future, so the things in the base will be reinforced for long-term use.

For example, when they set up the camp just now, they buried deep tent ropes with shovels, and then picked large stones to lay the ground evenly, so that it is not easy to collapse and be submerged by snow and water.

In addition, the thin layer of snow around the camp was also cleared by the big guys.

They also guided the snow-melted stream that gurgled around and turned it to the center of the camp, so that it was much more convenient to fetch water.

"Jia Long, go get some water to boil, they must drink water after they are busy."

"Ah."

Jia Long obediently threw the apple cores into the trash can, took a small iron bucket, and braved the wind and snow around him to the creek in the center of the camp.

The drone also followed her all the way.

gurgling...

The small iron bucket was placed in the not-deep creek water, and it took a long time for it to be partially full with bubbles.

"It's so cold. The temperature may be close to zero now. You can imagine how cold it is at night."

"This creek is our life-saving creek. Generally, in the high mountain environment, it is best to have such a natural stream around. If there is no such thing, then we can only drink it with snow water."

"You have to know that in a high mountain environment above 5000 meters, the water consumed by a person's breathing alone may cause a daily loss of [-] milliliters, or five liters of water, which does not include the loss of exercise. So in such a high environment, it is not an exaggeration to drink more water. However, in fact, most climbers can’t drink so much water, so the lips and even the skin are dry to the point of cracking, which becomes a very common situation. .”

Jia Long fetched water and returned to the camp.

Putting the kettle on the gas stove to boil water, she took out two more chocolates from her trouser pocket, handed one to Zhu Ying, and tore the other one herself, stuffing it into her mouth and eating happily.

"Wow, I just ate apples and then chocolate, Meng Longlong, you foodie."

"Are you so greedy, and eating chocolate, you are not afraid of gaining weight again."

"It's too much, it makes us greedy, right? Wait, my sister will also buy chocolates later, and she wants to buy something more delicious than yours."

The audience didn't stop talking when they saw Jia Long, so one by one they started teasing her again.

The girl was leaning on the chair, pressing the tail of a long piece of chocolate with her green fingers, and stuffing the front end into her mouth, like a little mouse eating, after a few bites, the piece of chocolate was eaten by her.

With the whole bar of chocolate in her mouth, she looked very cute while watching the barrage while chewing with puffed up cheeks.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."

With a gurgling sound, she swallowed the chocolate bar in her mouth, and spoke in still somewhat slurred words.

"Haha, don't worry about getting fat for me. The energy consumption on the high mountain is very, very large, much higher than that in the low-altitude forest, so our mountaineering team is trying to supplement sugar and carbohydrates, like chocolate. Naturally, the more high-energy food you eat, the better, at least during the few days of climbing, I will definitely not gain weight, and I will even lose weight for you to see."

What Jia Long said is correct. The human body consumes too much energy in the high mountain environment, just like water. If you have the conditions, it is the most reasonable to eat from morning to night, but the problem is that there is no material and no time to eat all the time. As a result, most climbers tend to lose a lot of weight within a few days.

After resting for a while, the climbers started to get busy again.

Jia Long, a newcomer, was in charge of helping others, such as boiling water, finding tools, and handing them over, so he wasn't too idle.

But after the sky gradually darkened a bit, the five white boys bid farewell.

"You go now? It's almost dark when you go down the mountain, why don't you stay today, and you can deal with it in the big tent for one night."

Captain Xiao regretted leaving them a word, but after thinking about it, he knew that with the current level of the forward camp, it would be difficult to arrange for five more people.

"No need, I wish you good luck, and when we come next time, we will follow your good luck footsteps and reach the summit successfully."

Several Caucasian guys waved their hands and refused, and they didn't forget to say hello to Jia Long, the "little cat" before leaving.

"Little cat, we will find your live broadcast when we go back. Although we can't understand Long Xiawen, we will work hard to learn, haha, I hope to have a chance to have dinner together in the future, bye."

The few people changed their previous appearance of teasing Jia Long, it was a gentleman's gift, and then drifted away.

"Haha, a group of rookies in mountaineering, I can already see that another international topical team will appear in the next few years."

Captain Xiao smiled and shook his head.

In the mountaineering industry, there is no such thing as "peers are enemies", because no matter how good a climber is, they may face life and death. When the risk is so high, everyone thinks of blessings, not a run on them.

Of course, at the top of the peak, that is the time when human nature is most exposed, but it is not yet.

"Okay, let's have dinner and rest immediately after eating. Today is the sixth day. Our team's schedule with Dongyu was to successfully climb to the summit within [-] days... There is not much time. Set up a route and start tomorrow Climb up."

After Captain Xiao said this, everyone involuntarily looked at Jia Long beside the farewell team.

In fact, it is true at all. This time the mountaineering team was able to make the trip and the approval was granted, all thanks to the several relationships behind Jia Long, so now that I think about it, they hung up the satellite phone and the leaders directly said that Jia Long Long Shang, it's not without reason.

"This beef is delicious, do you even have beef?"

At dinner, Jia Long ate the most delicious and nutritious meal during the many days of traveling, and she almost swallowed her tongue.

"666, Xiaomenglong, can you give me a treat?"

"Wow, the anchor is bloated, and he actually eats such delicious food."

"Is this still on a mountain of more than 5000 meters? The food can still be so good."

"Envy, envy, hate, brother, I'm eating instant noodles, woohoo."

The audience was very surprised by the richness of Jia Long's dinner.

After all, the advance camp is at an altitude of 500 meters. In such an inaccessible place, shouldn't it be hard work, even food and drink?How can it be so comfortable.

"Haha, you don't understand this. This forward camp is our very important supply base in the future. The supplies we brought with more than 20 camels are not a joke. Now that the things are unloaded, of course we can let them eat."

What Jia Long didn't say was that mountaineering requires a lot of physical strength, and of course one must eat well.

What's more, if you die tomorrow, today's dinner will be a 'farewell meal', even if it's not a farewell meal, it can be said to celebrate tomorrow's official climb, so what if you don't eat well...

After eating and drinking enough, the sky finally became completely dark.

Jia Long put on a hat and gloves and walked outside her tent.

The drone slowly followed with a buzzing sound.

"It's so cold. Now that the sun is setting, the temperature is about five or six degrees below zero. It will be even colder later. My god, it's so cold that my fingers are numb. I'm obviously wearing gloves."

She hurried into the tent.

"Tomorrow will be the day when I officially start to follow the team and climb up to the No. [-] camp. Next, what we will show you will be completely different from the alpine climbing of the previous time. I hope everyone can come at that time Watch it on time, I will download it today, thank you for your company, good night."
