As for the yaks, they can't climb the glacier, so they can only stay under the glacier and leave two of Zheng Haoyang's bodyguards here to guard them. It can be regarded as a base camp.
The rest of us continued to move forward carrying some necessary supplies, but in order to prevent anyone from slipping into the ice cave or crevice, we used a rope to string everyone together, and the team moved forward like a long dragon. .
Rob Dundup led the team from the front. As he walked, he told us what we should pay attention to when walking on the ice.
In fact, the river in our hometown also froze when I was a child. I also walked on the ice at that time, but the feeling was completely different from the current one. The ice surface was flat, while this ice surface was uneven. Occasionally, the ice surface on both sides There will also be some cracks, which are very deep and dark at first glance, which makes people panic.
Fortunately, under the leadership of Rob Dundup, we walked through several sections of the glacier road without incident, and then reached the foot of a snow-capped mountain.
This snow mountain is not called Mingpu Bushan Mountain, but it is called Wangguan Mountain. Mingpu Bushan Mountain is right behind Wangguan Mountain. However, we are too close to Wangguan Mountain at this time, and it blocks the plain mountain behind it. Just stayed.
On the right side of the mountain, there is a mountain col. Rob Dondup said that after climbing over this mountain col, there will be a valley with a higher altitude between Mingpubu Mountain and the valley, and there are red bugs in the valley.
So now we have to climb over this col first.
The lowest altitude of this mountain col is 4,900 meters, and the highest point reaches 5,500 meters. After climbing up, you have to walk at least one kilometer to reach the valley. Although the road is only one kilometer, it is high in altitude, so The difficulty and danger are naturally relatively high.
After looking at the time, Rob Dunzup suggested: "It's already afternoon now. If we climb over this mountain col, we probably won't be able to get down in less than two hours. When we climb over and reach the valley, it will probably start to get dark. It’s hard to catch red bugs, so what I mean is, let’s rest on this glacier and wait until we set off tomorrow. We will try to climb over and catch red bugs tomorrow, and then we can climb back before the afternoon.”
Uncle Su said: "It's up to you. We will arrange whatever you want."
"Well, let's set up camp."
Then, we found a piece of ice that seemed to be relatively solid and started to set up camp on it. The short-haired girl may have seen ice under her feet, and she said worriedly: "Are we going to sleep on this ice at night?" Isn’t it very cold?”
Rob Dundup said: "There is no way. If you want to sleep on the ground, you have to walk to the left for about an hour and climb vertically down an ice cliff of seven to eight meters. Sleeping here is the best. It's appropriate, but the altitude here is about 4,500, and it's very cold everywhere. The feeling of sleeping on the ground is about the same as sleeping on ice."
"That's okay."
After the tent was set up, everyone sat together and waited for dinner. At this time, many people looked a little out of breath.
For example, Jianzui, Lin Yuqi, and the short-haired girl, plus a few bodyguards.
Rob Dunzhu obviously noticed this. He took out a small oxygen bottle and indicated to several people that they could take oxygen.
After taking oxygen, one bodyguard's condition still didn't seem to be getting better, and it was getting worse. There was no other way, so Rob Dundup had to arrange for another bodyguard to send him to the yak, which is at a relatively lower altitude. , his condition should improve.
After entering the Tibetan area, no matter which county we slept at night, the altitude was basically more than 3,000, and the highest was only a little over 4,000. This time, it was the first time we slept above an altitude of 4,500, so it was My sleep quality was not good that night. I always felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and my eyeballs were a little swollen and painful. Fortunately, I could bear it.
After waking up in the morning, two more chefs felt bad, and were taken back to the base camp by two other bodyguards. Our team immediately lost six people, and they were all Zheng Haoyang's people. Zheng Haoyang looked a little annoyed and worried.
It is estimated that with these people here, he will have the confidence to cope with the various difficulties he will face next. Now that there are so few people, he must feel weak.
After eating, everyone continued to set off. After climbing to the mountain col, the altitude was already close to 5,000 meters. The feeling at this time was completely different from that at 4,500 meters. At this time, almost everyone except Rob Dundup All experienced high or low altitude sickness.
Norbu Dundup asked us to walk as slowly as possible, breathe more, and not talk. If we felt it was unbearable, we should go to his place to get some oxygen. He also said that basically the altitude of 5,000 meters is a watershed. Below 5,000 meters, most people It's still bearable. If it's higher than 5,000 meters, it will be a bit painful. If the altitude exceeds 5,500 meters, it will be very difficult for ordinary people.
However, we now have less than one kilometer left to travel, so we can still get through it if we endure it.
We continued walking for a while, and the altitude rose to 5,003. Everyone was basically panting with their mouths open. Sister Yuan sat down on the ground at this time. I even asked her with my eyes if she could do it, or else first Go down.
Sister Yuan glanced at the short-haired girl, maybe because she wanted to compete with the short-haired girl. The short-haired girl didn't leave, so naturally she didn't want to leave.
This girl with short hair, on the other hand, had always had severe high reflexes before, but now her condition seems to be okay.
In addition to Sister Yuan, Zhao Hu's condition was also a bit worrying. He simply lay on the ground, gasping for air. When Rob Dunzhu went over to ask him, he said it didn't matter and just took a rest.
Because in the next section of the road, the highest altitude will reach 5,500, which is already the limit that ordinary people can endure. Rob Dundup asked us to wait here, and he went over to fix the rope first, because after passing the highest altitude in front, At this point, even if we have passed through this mountain col, there is a valley with a relatively large drop behind it, and we can directly go down to an altitude of more than 4,000.
It’s just that the road is steep and difficult to walk. If you want to walk down quickly, it’s safest to use a rope. Rob Dunzhu fixed the rope and waved to us, indicating that we could pass. We supported each other and walked slowly. After that, I grabbed the rope again and walked backwards down the valley. As the altitude got lower and lower, I could clearly feel comfortable and relaxed.
In short, everyone arrived at the lower part of the valley without incident. The altitude here is only over 4,000, and everyone's condition seemed to have recovered a lot.
"Damn, it feels like I walked through the Palace of Hell. It feels so uncomfortable." Zhao Hu said while lying on the ground.
The pigtail rubbed his eyeballs: "It's not that bad. I feel like my eyeballs are about to explode. They were so bulging just now."
I paid special attention at this time, and it seemed that Xiao Ye was in better condition. She looked at Uncle Su's condition for a while, and then looked at Sister Yuan and Lin Yuqi's condition for a while, while she herself looked like she was fine. Same.
"Xiaoye, you are so awesome. I feel like nothing is wrong with you." I couldn't help but praise.
Xiaoye glanced at me, maybe because she was praised by me in front of so many people, she looked a little embarrassed.
Rob Dunzhu also praised: "Yes, her ability to adapt to high-reflection is relatively strong."
"Jianjun...brother..."
At this time, the short-haired woman called me, and then gasped and said: "You... why don't you praise me? When I first came into contact with the altitude of 4,000, my reaction was quite severe. Just now it was 5,000." More, but I'm much better, my progress is the biggest, why don't you praise me."
The short-haired girl said this, so I had no choice but to smile and praise her.
Sister Yuan seemed to want to say a few sarcastic words at that time, but I quickly frowned at her and signaled her not to say it.
After all, this is a high-altitude area, and an argument could cost you your life.
