Chapter 740 [Nature and Man] (Part 2)
Most people will say that money is not omnipotent, but most of the time, money can play a decisive role. For Zhang Yang's 10,000 yuan, Tseren Wangjie decided to lead the way for him and climb Mount Everest overnight. Tseren Wangjie also has the conditions. He could not lead Zhang Yang to climb to the top, and he did not think that Zhang Yang could reach the top. He would do his best to help Zhang Yang appreciate the wonders of ice peaks that others could not see.
Tsering Wangjie told Zhang Yang that the straight-line distance from the base camp to the top of Mount Everest is 19 kilometers. If it is on a flat ground, this distance is of course not a big deal. But the more you go up, the more difficult it is. The base camp where they are located is at an altitude of 5,200 meters, which is already the farthest place that ordinary tourists can reach. On the road to Mount Everest, you will first pass a river beach with a radius of two square kilometers. This is the base camp that each mountaineering team is ready to go, referred to as BC. There is a one between the base camp and BC that ordinary tourists can reach.
The dividing line built with small stones is not allowed to cross this protection line. People without mountaineering permits cannot come here, and Zhang Yang does not have a mountaineering permit, but for the sake of the 10,000 yuan, Tseren Wangjie took him around the protection line. They were pitch black around them, and there was no light in the mountaineering camp. The professional mountaineering team members who came to climb were already asleep. They wanted to accumulate strength for tomorrow's climb. They were covered with mountains on all sides. Looking up at the night sky, it was dark. Standing here felt like standing in a wellhead, without wind at night.
Tsering Wangjie took Zhang Yang to move forward. From Zhang Yang's carry-on equipment, we can see that although Zhang Yang is well equipped, he is just an amateur in mountaineering. When he traveled through this camp, Tsering Wangjie remained silent until he left the camp far behind. He said, "From here we start climbing, I can take you to a place about 7,500 meters above sea level, and at most it can only be there." He looked at the equipment on Zhang Yang and added, "If you still want to live."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You just need to take me through the route you pointed her. My purpose is to find someone, not to climb Mount Everest!"
Tserin Wangjie said: "Look for someone? With such a big mountain, can you be sure that she will definitely walk up the mountain?"
Zhang Yang said: "Can be sure!"
Tserin Wangjie sighed. If this girl had gone up the mountain yesterday, she would have been more than twenty hours now. It would be hard to imagine that a girl could stay in the mountain alone for so long.
Zhang Yang said: "You are not the only guide in Mount Everest. Will anyone else take her up the mountain?"
Tserin Wangjie shook his head and said, "Impossible, we will all have ventilation. Everyone will have contact with whoever takes her up the mountain and who goes wherever she goes. If someone takes her up the mountain, I can't not know."
Zhang Yang said: "Does anyone know if you take me up the mountain?"
Tsering Wangjie said, "Yes, my uncle knows that he will take the tourists I will go up the mountain tomorrow." Tsering Wangjie couldn't help but complain, "Actually, I would rather bring twenty ordinary tourists than one of you."
Zhang Yang smiled. This guy was a little bit like he was good at taking a cheap and behaved. He only brought an ordinary tourist for 100 yuan, and he got 10,000 yuan. He probably won't encounter such a business several times in his life.
The mountain road ahead gradually became rugged. Tsering Wangjie was surprised to find that Zhang Yang did not have any altitude sickness. During this journey, he walked as fast as he could without any breathing. Tsering Wangjie had to sigh at Zhang Yang's super physical strength. Two hours later, they had arrived at the snow line of Mount Everest, which was about 6,000 meters above sea level.
Because further upwards, it is all the ice and snow that never melts all year round. Although it is still late at night, it makes people feel the illusion of dawn. Tseren Wangjie put on goggles and Zhang Yang also wears it. The hiking suits and personal equipment he wore were prepared by Zhao Tiancai, and they are all world-class brands.
Tsering Wangjie said: "Don't speak loudly, and don't shout loudly. On the snowy mountain, your voice can easily cause an avalanche."
Zhang Yang looked down at the ground. There were many footprints on the snow. He had just arrived at Mount Everest Snow Line, and most people could arrive here.
Tserin Wangjie said: "The more you go up, the fewer footprints are. As the weather gets warmer, the snow line keeps going up. When it is summer, the snow line can retreat to about 7,000 meters. At that time, the easiest time to climb mountaineer. Now is the most dangerous time, with spring flowers blooming and avalanches occurring in seasons."
Zhang Yang looked into the night sky from afar, a bright moon poured down the cold clear light on Mount Everest, covered with snow, and the surrounding world was immersed in the snow and moon scenery. With the snow, you can see the scenery around you miles away, but he could not see An Yuchen's figure. Zhang Yang silently called from the bottom of his heart, Yao'er, where are you?
An Yuchen was indeed on Mount Everest. She climbed the mountain early this morning. She has been on the mountain for nearly twenty hours. An Yuchen has reached an altitude of 7,500 meters. She set up a tent on the snow, sat in the tent, holding her knees, and quietly stared at the small lamp. Mount Everest is the closest place on the earth to the sky. In this pure land, she tried to forget everything in the past. However, when she came here, she realized that she had not forgotten some things, but became clearer. She had not fallen asleep for two consecutive days. Since she came here, she had dared not fall asleep, afraid that she would fall asleep like this and never wake up from now on. It seemed that wind was rising outside.
Then, An Yuchen hid her body in her sleeping bag. Tomorrow she will continue to head towards the top of the mountain. No one in this world knows where she is going. She chooses to leave this world quietly and end her life in this purest place. This is a perfect end to her short life. However, An Yuchen still has concerns in her heart. The person she thinks the most is Zhang Yang. I don’t know if Zhang Yang will be sad after her death. After a few years, will he still remember that there is such a naughty and willful female apprentice... Tears quietly slid down An Yuchen's pretty face. She quickly wiped away her tears as if she was afraid of being seen. She said to herself: "I don’t cry! I’m not afraid!"
It was getting brighter and brighter outside, and An Yuchen got out of the tent, and the golden morning light was cast from the sky. The emerald-like glaciers and gem-like ice towers formed a wonderful picture, transforming the scenery that should not belong to the world. However, the magnificent scenery in front of him revealed an indescribable desolation and coldness! In addition to listening to his own breath, An Yuchen saw a vast white area in front of him, and there was no life at all. The cold wind made her breathless, and she seemed to be about to suffocate.
An Yuchen looked at the top of Mount Everest. In the hazy state, she seemed to see the snow fog rising from the top of the peak. She decided to continue moving forward, shaking off a snowflake rolled by the cold wind, and also shaking off her last attachment to the world. She wanted to forget all the worldly affairs, forget family, friendship and love that had not yet sprouted...
The wind was very strong, mixed with snowflakes and ice particles ruthlessly hit the climber. Tseren Wangjie used his hiking pole to marching hard. Zhang Yang followed him. Until now, Zhang Yang still hiked without using any climbing tools. This surprised Tseren Wangjie quite surprised. From his understanding of Zhang Yang, this guy should have not undergone systematic mountaineering training, but his super physical strength and super high climbing skills made Tseren Wangjie suspect that he was a mountaineering master.
Tsering Wangjie led Zhang Yang to the back of a huge ice rock, which was relatively sheltered from the wind. Tsering Wangjie took off his mask. Even Tibetans like him who lived in the mountains for a long time felt a little difficult to breathe, but on the other hand, Zhang Yang still looked calm and breathed freely. Tsering Wangjie took a breath twice and said, "You have such a good physique!"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's better than ordinary people!"
Tsering Wangjie pointed to the ground under their feet and said, "Someone should have camped here!" He bent and observed carefully for a while and said, "It should have been walking for a while, and the traces were basically covered by ice and snow."
Zhang Yang had no experience in this area and couldn't tell anything. He whispered: "It must be her!"
Tserin Wangjie said, "There are many people coming here to climb the mountain. You can't just tell that it is the person you are looking for based on the traces of camping!" He pointed forward and said, "Let's move forward to the ice slit beam is the farthest distance I can lead the way."
Zhang Yang looked in the direction he pointed, but saw an icicle standing on the steep hillside in the distance, like a huge ice skate in the mountain. The name of the ice skate beam is indeed very vivid.
Tsering Wangjie said so many things in one breath, and felt all his strength was exhausted. He began to breathe heavily. After a while, he recovered. He looked up at the sky and said, "The clouds are not right. There may be wind and snow in the afternoon. I advise you to go back. If you walk like this, if you encounter wind and snow, you will be trapped in the mountains. It will be too late to regret it at that time."
Zhang Yang said: "Let's keep going, wait until Ice Blade."
