Chapter 38： Goddesses seen by mortals (1)

Grace City, this is located in the southwestern border of the Xuan Kingdom, southwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, west of the Ali area, north of Nagqu city, east of Lhasa city and Shannan city, and borders with Neil and Peacock. It is located in the Tedamian Mountains. In the middle section, the border line is 1,753 kilometers long, the land area is 182,000 square kilometers, and the average altitude is over 4,000 meters. It is also the city closest to the Hyjal peak.

Most mountaineering teams will choose to take the plane to reach the city of Grace in Xuan Kingdom or Zeto in Neil, and then transfer to the off-road vehicle to continue climbing the Tedamian Mountains.

Grace City also built railways and airports after the founding of the Xuan Kingdom. It was originally a major agricultural and pastoral area for national development. However, as the world ’s exploration of the Hyjal Peak, the city ’s tertiary industry has gradually developed. Become a famous tourist city in Xuan Kingdom-Compared with the Xuan Kingdom city that has been polluted by industry, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with blue sky and white clouds does have a purifying effect.

Mainly purify the troubles of the poor. Rich people are busy enjoying life, and they all go to the sacred place of tourism to live in a five-star hotel to purify the troubles.

At Grace's night, the starry sky is also particularly clean. Although it is not as spotless as Antarctica, the galaxy is brilliant, and the nebula is blooming, but in the summer, Grace people can directly observe the stars with the naked eye. This experience is comparable to the dimness of the people in the city. The night sky is much cooler.

Zhang He came here without any appreciation of the starry sky. He was sitting in the single ward on the third floor of Grace People's Hospital, beside the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, his eyes were closely watching the picture of the mobile phone.

He took out the cigarette case and found that there was only the last cigarette left. He just bit his thoughts, and heard a knock from outside: "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang He came to sigh, put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, turned off the phone, and said, "Please come in."

I was not relaxed in the ward and rushed into a group of outsiders. Zhang Helai saw that in addition to the high-level official cube of the city of Grace he knew in the afternoon, several foreigners also came in.

"I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Zhang's recuperation." The middle-aged Cube looked at his watch. "It's almost midnight, but for special reasons, I hope Mr. Zhang can forgive me."

"It's okay." Zhang He came back to the bed, "It just so happened that I haven't fallen asleep yet. Although I'm tired today, ... it's even more memorable."

Kuan Cube looked at Zhang He with regret, and the foreigners were scattered around the ward. Unlike in the afternoon, this time to ask Zhang Helai for details is not the secretary of Shi Cube, but a mysterious man in a black vest.

"Mr. Zhang Helai," the black vest asked, "You returned to Camp Fifth on the northern **** of Hyjal Peak at 9,600 meters above sea level on April 8, today at 12.30 noon, right? Then in the afternoon At 3:15, you took a mysterious transport helicopter at Camp Fifth and returned directly to Grace City at 6:30 in the evening, right? "

Zhang He nodded, "Yes."

At this time, Zhang Helai noticed that the foreigners nodded one after another, can't help but be a little surprised-they can understand the mysterious Mandarin?

"I need you to recall everything that happened after you set out from Camp Five in the early hours of April 8th." The dark vest looked at his watch. "You haven't slept for 24 hours now, can you?"

"No problem." Zhang Helai laughed: "I haven't been able to completely calm down until now, and I just lay for a while just now, it doesn't matter."

Everyone understands him very well-no matter who it is, it is quite normal to encounter the kind of miracle of heaven and man, and to be able to sleep in the head.

"Is it just from Camp 5? I thought it would be better to start directly from 9:30." Zhang Helai reminded.

不 "No problem, we want to fully understand the details this time." The dark vest said: "Don't worry about what you forget, just think of what you say."

"Okay." Zhang He came out and took out the cigarette case, then shoved it back, and the black vest smiled: "Mr. Zhang, it is normal to smoke and refresh."

"Huh? Oh ..." Zhang Helai didn't say a word when he saw the cube. He assumed that the black vest was the leader here. Although he was a little puzzled, he lit the cigarette and let the hot smoke pass through his lungs, letting him recall 24 again. Hours ago ...

Zhang Helai's mountaineering team is basically all Xuan nationals, and there are six leaders connected to the team.

Although it is spring, it is not the best time for climbing, but it is only relative to summer. In fact, Hyjal mountaineering tourism has been very industrialized. The risk of summiting in spring is not higher than that in summer-as long as the team leader Reliable words.

Zhang Helai came to Grace City in early March. He first met the team members and arrived at the north **** gate of the Hyjal Peak on March 5th: the base camp at an altitude of 5896 meters. After the tents and other equipment were sent to the base camp, they carried out more than 20 days of training to slowly adapt to the plateau climate and familiarize themselves with the summit route.

One of the team members had to return to Grace City for treatment because of severe altitude sickness and vomiting and vomiting. Only five people remained in the team.

Although the process seems to be a very memorable climbing record for Zhang Helai, it is also commonplace: for more than 50 years after conquering Hyjal, countless mountaineering teams have used their lives to find a safest mountaineering route and camping place. In addition to the base camp on Mount Gar, there are also forward camps, first camp, second camp, third camp, fourth camp, and fifth camp. As long as all safety facilities are provided and the climbing route is followed, the danger of life will be suppressed to a minimum. point.

On April 3, the three mountaineering teams in the base camp found that the weather was fine and decided to strike the Hyjal Peak together. They arrived in Camp 2 within one day, Camp 3 in the second day, Camp 4 in the third day, and Camp 5 in the fourth day. However, Camp 5, which is located at 9,600 meters above sea level, is so high that the Kamians cannot send oxygen cylinders up, so they need to change the oxygen cylinders in Camp 4 to complete the next thrilling journey.

Zhang Helai is a middle-aged man in his thirties who has a successful career. Although he has no children, his wife is pregnant. This time he came to climb Hyjal, purely to fulfill his dream: he joined the mountaineering club when he was in college, and met his first love. Their dream at that time was to conquer Hyjal together.

They gradually climbed the 5,000-meter entry-level peak Haba Snow Mountain, the 6,000-meter advanced class peak Animaqing Peak, the 7000-meter professional-level Muztagh Peak, the 8000-meter master-level peak Cho Oyu, with 6000 meters and 7000 meters. They only meet the requirements of the Xuanguo Mountaineering Association with the 8000-meter mountaineering certificate. UU Reading can choose to challenge the 10,000-meter peak Hyjal Peak-laymen without a mountaineering certificate can only be at 5896 meters. Gall's base camp dangles.

Later, the first love was in danger during a mountaineering, Zhang He came to work humblely for several years, met his current wife, and then struggled to the present.

He knows that this year is his last chance. If he waits until his wife gives birth to a child, the great responsibility that comes with it will completely drown the last trace of this middle-aged man's dream hidden in his heart.

Men were all boys before they became fathers. This is Zhang Helai's last waywardness.

However, although Zhang Helai came to the fifth camp together with the team safely, he had a little problem.

The oxygen cylinder consumption has reached a critical point.

Not because of insufficient oxygen cylinders, but because Zhang Helai consumed a large amount of oxygen during the process from Camp 4 to Camp 5, which compressed the amount of 'free oxygen'. Next, if he still wants to continue to the summit, he can't make any mistake, and he may barely reach the summit.

Zhang Helai can also choose to wait in the fifth camp and wait for the mountaineering team to come down and take him away. In this case, he does not need to move and the oxygen consumption is greatly reduced.

也就是说 "In other words, are you risking your life to the top?" A blonde foreigner suddenly asked in mysterious Mandarin.

"Yes."

"Why do you want to do this?"

"Why? Dreams, memories, and luck ... I was in a complicated mood when I made this decision, but if it was the root cause, it should be ... not reconciled." Zhang Helai smiled slightly: "I know, if I choose then Give up, then the rest of my life will complain about this decision. "

"Because of this ... I was able to meet her with other team members."
