Chapter 704 The sun... rises! 【Come to the starting point to subscribe】

It is only 400 meters above sea level from the top of K[-].

For a mountaineering team, this is already an extremely close distance from their dream.

More than 100 years ago, mankind first raised the dream of conquering K[-]. At that time, countless manpower and material resources were used, and even many people's lives were sacrificed, but they could only return with hatred.

Even the brave men at that time gave K[-] the title of "Barbaric Giant Peak".

But nowadays, climbing K[-] has no longer required such huge financial and material resources. Even some mountaineers, with the help of modern technological equipment and previous knowledge, have stepped on the second highest peak in the world more than once!

Today, the distance to the peak is only more than 400 meters above sea level. Even counting the detour distance, the total distance to the peak is less than one kilometer. Another mountaineering team is preparing to become one of the legendary mountaineering teams to conquer this giant peak.

Puff!

Using an ice pick, firmly nailed to the surface of the easy-to-skate layer in front, the girl stepped forward carefully and took two steps forward.

She squatted down again, set up protection points, and straightened the road rope by the way, so that the teammates behind her could use this road rope to climb up with her without any safety hazards.

Jia Long had already set out for half an hour.

The teammates behind were gradually pulled behind by Jia Long.

Even behind this, it is only more than 30 meters, but in this kind of altitude and bumpy and difficult terrain, more than 30 meters is already very impressive.

Jia Long, who was not very familiar with night climbing at first, gradually became familiar with the climbing method from the state of last night's itinerary where he only found a little feeling. He used ice axes and ice picks more smoothly, so his speed suddenly returned to No.1. No surprise there.

What's more, the panting Jia Long can still feel that everyone's mental state is not very good today, because this is because they didn't sleep well yesterday.

If they hadn't climbed to the summit today, they would have had one more day of buffer time in their minds, or had a good night's sleep at a low altitude. Even if it was not easy to fall asleep, at least it would be better than now.

It is not easy for them to persist in climbing at an altitude of 8000 meters without making mistakes.

Jia Long was a little bit better, after all, she had a little sleep and her energy had recovered a lot.

The scenery of the snow-capped mountains at night is indeed very difficult to distinguish the detailed road conditions.

Fortunately, there will be no more dangerous places like the ice tower on the road they are walking at this time.

Instead, there is nothing but ice along the way. Maybe there is a sharp slope and a gentle slope, but there will never be any big cliffs.

Because this is already the peak, even if there is a small cliff, it is very easy to go around.

Even Jia Long, who is now using the mountaineering team's grand summit policy, walks along a place that bypasses the direction of the ridge ahead, and has merged the team's route into another traditional route.

This route is the traditional route in the direction of the Pakistan Railway, and it is also the route chosen by many climbing teams on K[-]. It is relatively mature, and there are predecessors' routes along the route. In addition, the risk is not high. Jia Long and the others will take this last route This old road of predecessors is a very wise choice.

puff.

Jia Long felt that she was walking really slowly.

When you take a step, you have to take half a step to rest.

The respiratory organs don't seem to be his own, and the breath is full of coolness and shortness of breath.

At this moment, the limbs became a little cold and numb.

This is a precursor to frostbite.

Jia Long took out the oxygen bottle, took off the scarf, and pressed it lightly on her red lips, which used to be rosy but now turned blue.

sizzle...

Slowly, the oxygen gradually poured into the lungs through the oxygen cylinder, instantly causing the blood to receive a large amount of fresh oxygen, and then able to carry more oxygen to the major physiological organs, thereby rejuvenating her, even numb and cold limbs , all recovered a little due to the acceleration of blood flow.

As mentioned in the preface, when people are attacked by ice cold, they will first tremble slightly. This is a kind of "uneconomical cold protection measure" of the human body itself. Trembling can cause heat, but the energy consumed is very uneconomical .

After the trembling, the limbs often start to be cold and then numb.

Generally, you need to be careful when you have this kind of situation. Like Jia Long, you can still feel that the limbs are in good condition. Some people can no longer feel the existence of the limbs, but they still hold on. All very tragic results.

Either freeze to death or severe frostbite, even if you can walk back down the mountain, you will only be reduced to amputation.

And when the cold is numb, taking a breath of oxygen can often solve many problems. When Jia Long is as uncomfortable, taking a little bit of oxygen will not only save his life, but also won't drag down his teammates. Why not do it ?
But there are also many mountaineers who insist on 'anaerobic climbing' and insist on the so-called most natural climbing method. Their mountaineering philosophy is to use no oxygen.

But in the end, these people often either died on the way to the mountain, or had their limbs amputated, and were reduced to useless people who spent their entire lives lying on the bed.

Maybe they themselves feel that this is something they are willing to do, because they would rather die or be disabled than implement their ideas.

But for mountaineers who use this climbing method, at least Jia Long doesn't understand it that much.

Because in her opinion, there is no modern mountaineer who is not using human technology to help climb mountains.

Is it really possible to take off the one-piece down jacket and one-piece boots, take off the crampons, and throw away the useful ice ax and ice cone to climb?

Of course, this has already involved the question of the right and wrong of ideas, and there is no answer to any controversy.

Perhaps when Jia Long mocked others for not using oxygen, there were also many outdoor enthusiasts who said that most of Jia Long’s wilderness adventures did not bring any tools, which was asking for trouble.

"Whoosh..."

The heavy breathing made the girl have no intention of explaining the drone.

After reaching an altitude of 8000 meters, it is another different experience.

Cold, cold to the point of pain.

Breathing is also difficult to sustain to make people upset.

Coupled with the constant waste of physical energy climbing steep ice rocks, and the death pressure that may slip at any time, under all kinds of hardships, people's will is quickly worn down.

Frustration and the pain of wanting to give up are the easiest emotions to show up.

But everyone present, except for Jia Long, are all experienced mountain climbers. They are very good at coping with such emotions. Although Jia Long himself has no mountain climbing experience, he may face more life and death and painful experiences than everyone present, so he will not Easily overwhelmed by pressure.

Ding.

The ice pick pierces the ice surface.

With the help of the fixed force of the ice pick, the girl carefully stepped on a piece of broken ice and climbed to a cliff.

She was numb from the cold.

It has been four hours since the departure, and the current time is more than six o'clock in the morning in Longxia. In the hot summer city of Longxia in the east, the sun may have already risen, but for the western region, due to the time difference, the sky is still dark. It was pitch black.

The good news is that the wind and snow that was still blowing everywhere just now stopped around four o'clock.

"Ha...why is it getting colder even though the wind and snow have stopped?"

The girl swallowed her saliva desperately, and her mouth and throat felt extremely cold when she spoke.

"The altitude here is higher than before, about 400, more than 200 meters, hehehehe, are you surprised that we have walked for so, so long, and it has only risen to a height of more than [-] meters?  … "

"No, don't be surprised, because here, you can't walk, you can't walk fast."

The girl trembled when she spoke.

It seems that no matter how appropriate the heat preservation measures are, they have lost their heat preservation effect at this moment, and the whole body is icy cold.

"Current, current temperature, let me see..."

She was cold and lifted a mountaineering watch with a temperature detection function and an altimeter strapped to her wrist.

"Minus 39 degrees! Wow, well, it's cold. No wonder you're so, so icy!"

Minus 39 degrees, this is the first time Jia Long experienced the extreme cold after living for so long in two lifetimes.

This kind of ultra-low temperature will naturally make people's blood coagulate.

Moreover, low temperature will not only cause people to feel cold, but also take away a large amount of human energy, causing people to quickly lose body temperature, physical strength, and eventually even life.

Climbing mountains above 8000 meters has always been a struggle against ultra-low temperature and altitude sickness.

"Aren't you surprised? But don't be surprised, everyone, the temperature will rise immediately, because, because..."

Jia Long suddenly pointed at the distant sky, which seemed to be able to see the horizon at a glance, with a gloved bare hand.

"Because the sun will come out soon."

There was nothing wrong with her saying that, because to the east of her finger, a piece of red glow that dyed the sky red had begun to slowly reveal its light.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but when Jia Long pointed at the red glow, within five seconds, a light that wasn't dazzling shot towards the snow-capped Karakorum Mountains...

And the one that bears the brunt is the highest position in the entire mountain range-Kogori Peak!
The hazy dawn scene of ice and snow with a gloomy field of vision suddenly lit up in the first second of wild light.

Jia Long's image, from the vague and unreal appearance in the previous few seconds, suddenly became vivid and slim in front of the camera.

"Hahaha, come out, I, I'll just say it!"

The girl's sweet voice has a hint of hoarseness, which makes people feel full of vigor.

A 400-year-old girl who can go to an altitude of 21 meters and is still so lively, there is only "Meng Longlong" on the entire planet.

Following in the footsteps of Jia Long, a group of spectators who saw the sunrise from the dark night all the way, at this time also burst out countless surprise bullet screens!
"The sun is finally out!"

"Although the sunlight on our side can already burn people to death, I still feel very grateful for it shining on Meng Longlong!"

"When the sun rises, Xiaolong has also climbed to 400 meters. Doesn't it mean that the peak is just around the corner? Let us see it quickly."
