It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1188 Does the gap between people have to be so big?

On the snow, Chen Fei quickly took out several pieces of equipment from his bag and placed them neatly.

After tying the opening of the backpack again, he first picked up a climbing rope, skillfully wrapped it around the backpack, and tightened it hard to ensure that the backpack was tied firmly.

Then he picked up another climbing rope and carefully tied a knot every one meter.

When he had done that, he tied one end of the rope tightly to his backpack and the other end securely to his feet.

At this moment, the climbing rope tied to the backpack and feet was like a safe bond, establishing a close connection between him and the backpack.

For the next few kilometers, he had to drag his backpack with his feet the entire time and struggle along the narrow and rugged ridge.

This was undoubtedly a very arduous process, but Chen Fei had no choice.

Because he didn't have a partner to assist him on this trip, he had to rely on himself.

The steep ridge before him was too dangerous. If he wasn't careful, he might fall. So he had to give himself an "insurance"!
Once an accident occurs, the backpack can play a certain cushioning and pulling role to reduce the risk of falling.

This method may seem simple, but it is very practical. It is a life-saving technique often used by Sherpas living in the snow-capped mountains when they go out alone.

Once a fall crisis occurs, the climbing rope will quickly sink into the snow and tightly hold the falling body.

Although this method is not 100% effective, as long as it can play a certain buffering role and allow Chen Fei enough reaction time, he can use other methods to save himself.

For example, crampons and ice axes are survival tools used together.

At critical moments, these can play a big role!
After pulling the rope hard to make sure it was tied tightly, Chen Fei took off his sneakers and changed into crampons, which are commonly used when climbing snow-capped mountains.

At the same time, he took off the two ice axes from behind and held them tightly in his hands.

Keep going!

“Shhh—shhh—shhh—”

The heavy backpack rubbed against the snow, making a series of friction sounds.

It can be clearly seen that Chen Fei's progress has become much slower, and all this is due to the backpack dragging behind him.

"Why do you have to drag the backpack with you? It looks so tiring. Wouldn't it be better to just carry it on your back? What kind of nonsense is it to deliberately add burden to yourself?"

"I don't understand this behavior. I feel stupid and exhausted. I'm really confused."

"It's almost dark, and you're dragging your backpack instead of hurrying forward. Are you confused?"

"You guys don't know anything! Director Chen must have his own reasons for doing this, if you can do it, go for it! You're just a bunch of keyboard warriors, you can only talk nonsense online."

"I seem to remember that this backpack can indeed be used for a lot of things. It seems to be used to pull something..."

There were constant heated discussions in the comments, and there were even signs of a quarrel breaking out.

Chen Fei naturally would not pay attention to this small situation, not to mention that he had no chance to read the barrage.

At this moment, every step he took was very steady and cautious, without any impatience.

Because in his opinion, staying alive is the first principle, and only by staying alive can there be hope to pursue that majestic peak!
Dragging the heavy backpack behind him, he moved forward along the glacier ridge, leaving a long trail of snow in this dangerous area known as the "forbidden zone of life".

In fact, if the latecomers can follow the path he walked, they can find the safest path in the shortest time.

Unfortunately, the climate on Mount Everest is changeable and snowfall is very frequent.

Therefore, the path he left behind might be covered by snow again within one night.

When latecomers arrive, they can only continue to explore new safe routes.

In the following time, Chen Fei did not make any extra movements. He just walked forward steadily step by step without hesitation.

His current goal was to cross the Rongbuk Glacier area, reach the forward camp, and then rest there.

However, it took him two hours to finish the distance of less than five kilometers.

There were already many people in the live broadcast room who were bored and doing other things, and they would only come over from time to time to check on his progress.

At the same time, more and more people are questioning the speed of his progress.

Many people were somewhat dissatisfied with his speed.

If we continue like this, let alone reaching Mount Everest at dawn, it would be great if we could reach it on the third day.

"Why is Director Chen walking slower and slower?"

Inside the tent, Wu Jing was also very puzzled.

If he were this impatient, he would have picked up the backpack by now, put it on his back, and strode forward.

Chen Fei's speed was really too slow. In his opinion, he was just like an old turtle moving forward on the beach. He even felt a little sleepy watching it.

"Maybe there is some purpose? Or is he guarding against something?" Chen Long gave his analysis.

During the few months of filming, he probably got to know Chen Fei's personality.

Although he always likes to do some very thrilling and exciting extreme sports, he is not the kind of stupid and reckless man.

Before each challenge, Chen Fei would take all possible situations into consideration and try his best to avoid complications.

It is precisely because of this cautious behavior that he is able to overcome dangerous difficulties time and time again.

The same is true today on Everest.

Chen Long could see that Chen Fei seemed to be on guard against something at this moment, as if there was some deadly crisis hidden under the thick snow.

Suddenly! At this moment! A loud "boom" sound suddenly came from the screen, which immediately woke up the sleepy people in the tent!
"What's going on? What happened?" Li Rengang stared at the projection screen with his eyes wide open.

He was almost asleep just now, and if it weren't for the loud noise, he would probably start snoring.

"It seems like there is an ice avalanche."

Hu Ge is quite knowledgeable in this area and can even distinguish between snow avalanches and ice avalanches.

But because of this, his heart instantly rose to his throat!

Although ice avalanches are not as scary as snow avalanches, they are just as dangerous.

Because an ice avalanche means that the ice that has accumulated under the snow for years has broken or collapsed.

When this happens, it means that a huge fracture will suddenly appear on the flat ground.

Once people fall in, they may never get out!

At this moment, all the netizens who were watching the live broadcast in front of the screen were also shocked by the sudden ice avalanche.

After everyone reacted, they quickly looked for Chen Fei in the picture.

However, as the snow fog dissipated, the figure that was originally moving steadily forward on the snow suddenly disappeared!

"Huh? Where's the person? Where's Director Chen?"

"Shit! It's an ice avalanche! Director Chen might have fallen into an ice hole!"

"It's over. It's completely over this time."

"I heard that the ice holes on Mount Everest are very deep. If you fall into one, can you get out alive?"

"Hey! That's not right! Look! Isn't that Director Chen's backpack?!"

There were many sharp-eyed people in the group of netizens, who suddenly discovered the backpack stuck deep in the snow.

At this time, the drone camera also moved.

Following the location where the backpack and rope extended, the drone quickly flew to an ice crack area.

After going deeper, Chen Fei's figure soon appeared in the picture.

At this moment, he was hanging upside down in the air, and below him was a deep pit that stretched as far as the eye could see, and he had no idea how deep it was!
If I fall down, I can forget about dreaming of getting out. I won't even have the chance to write a suicide note.

"Don't worry, I'm safe here. The rope and backpack successfully saved me."

Chen Fei spoke to the drone camera, then swung his ice pick and chiseled directly into the ice wall.

Then, with a slight effort, he turned his body over, and used the crampons on his feet to step on the ice wall and get stuck into it.

He reacted very quickly. In less than a minute, he successfully climbed out of the ice crack with the help of crampons, ice pick and rope.

The moment he returned safely to the ground, he lay on his back on the snow, gasping for breath.

Seeing this scene, a lot of exclamations suddenly floated across the live broadcast room barrage:

"I told you, this backpack and rope must be useful, and now they are useful." "Fuck, this is too dangerous, if it weren't for the backpack, wouldn't we have to eat right away?"

"Where are those trolls? Come out and yell again! You know nothing!"

"Director Chen's physical strength is really strong. Most people probably can't even climb up, right?"

"Come on! You must climb up!"

A large number of voices of support and encouragement emerged from the barrage. Although Chen Fei could neither see nor hear them, an inexplicable force of encouragement emerged from deep in his heart.

After a brief rest, he got up from the snow, walked around the ice cracks, and continued forward without hesitation!

The way of moving forward is still the same as before, with ropes tied to the feet and a backpack dragged behind.

But this time, no one urged, objected or questioned.

In this way, after walking for nearly 40 minutes, he finally arrived at the forward camp at an altitude of 6500 meters.

~

In fact, the forward camp has another terrifying nickname - the Devil's Camp!
This place has a similar depressing atmosphere to the previous transition camp. The surrounding mountains are surrounded like giant beasts, and the mountains on three sides are closely attached to each other, enclosing the camp.

The only entrance and exit faces north, which is narrow and a bit cold.

This unique terrain structure is like a huge cage, directly blocking the normal circulation of air.

Standing in the camp, Fade Chen could clearly feel that breathing had become a little more difficult, and the thin oxygen seemed to be swallowed up by the surrounding mountains.

Once here, even those experienced and well-equipped professional climbers will inevitably suffer from altitude sickness to varying degrees, such as headaches, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc.

This place is like a cruel test set by nature, waiting for every brave person who tries to challenge it!
If you can get through this level, then you can naturally move forward.

But if you fall here, you will naturally have no chance to climb Mount Everest.

But for Chen Fei, the "devil's camp" was just a place for him to rest.

He doesn't have any symptoms of altitude sickness.

You know, he was climbing to the summit without oxygen this time. If he collapsed at the forward camp, what was the point of not using oxygen?
Therefore, many mountaineering enthusiasts were surprised to find that Chen Fei only sat down in this valley to rest for 5 minutes, ate some instant food he brought with him, and then set off again!
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and there was a howling wind blowing wildly above the sky.

But this did not hinder Chen Fei at all.

He kept moving forward steadily without any pause, and in less than an hour he reached the North Col ice wall at an altitude of 6600 meters.

This is a big hurdle.

After all, the average slope of this ice wall is 50 degrees, and the steepest part is as high as 70 degrees!
If you want to cross it, you must have extremely high ice climbing skills, otherwise the final outcome will be to sigh at the ice wall and then return the same way.

However, this was nothing to Chen Fei.

He didn't even use the ropes left behind when Mount Everest was being developed. He just used an ice pick and crampons to climb up in no time like a gecko climbing a wall.

Seeing this, those who were preparing to climb Mount Everest and those who turned back halfway fell into complete silence.

“Is this guy still human? The North Col Ice Wall! The first hurdle in climbing Mount Everest! He just climbed up like that?”

However, the shock that Chen Fei left on them was more than that.

When he came to the second most important hurdle in climbing Mount Everest, which is the wind vent area, he turned into "Voldemort" in the chicken game and crawled over quickly like a big spider.

The strong wind passed over his back, as if trying to blow him away, but in the end it failed.

Fans: I am numb! I am completely numb! How can this be possible?
Moving forward all the way, accompanied by the night and occasional snowstorms, Chen Fei finally appeared on the ridge of the north wall of Mount Everest in the second half of the night, which is 8500 meters above sea level.

At this point, there is only the last stretch left to successfully reach the summit.

He originally wanted to reach the summit early tomorrow morning, but he never expected that the time would be advanced.

"In that case, let's do it in one go!"

"call!"

After taking a deep breath and exhaling a breath of cold air, Chen Fei set out again and headed towards the area where the peak was located.

It was not until this moment that the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realized that he did not bring any oxygen?! He did not even take a breath of oxygen during the whole process!

"Don't they say you must bring oxygen when climbing Mount Everest? Why didn't Director Chen bring any?"

In the huge tent, Zhang Ziyi, who came over to join in the fun, suddenly asked this question, which immediately made the guide a little embarrassed.

After all, he repeatedly reminded others to bring enough oxygen to prevent hypoxia.

But no one expected that this time a ruthless person would appear and rush to Mount Everest without even carrying an oxygen tank!

"Can Director Chen's physical fitness be the same as ours? I remember that he had already completed an oxygen-free summit a long time ago. Isn't this just a visit home?"

Wu Jing's words helped the guide out of the predicament and also revealed the current situation.

Chen Fei is here to "go home for a visit".

As long as there are no unpredictable situations such as ice holes, ice cracks, avalanches, etc., the difficulties that stand in his way are not called difficulties, but are collectively called "fences."

What to do when faced with a fence?
Just turn over!

So he easily climbed over the first step, which was only a few meters high.

Then he came to the second step at an altitude of 8670 meters.

He swung his ice axe and crampons high into the air, and his rock climbing skills were fully unleashed at this moment.

He can even climb up areas like El Capitan which are very close to a 90-degree plane, not to mention the "small rocks" on Mount Everest.

That is to say, the oxygen content here was too low, and he didn't bring an oxygen tank, so he consumed a lot of physical energy.

Otherwise, he doesn't mind performing a "quick climb to the top"!
After crossing the second step, the altitude reached 8700 meters.

Then, the third step arrived.

Like the first step, this one is also made up of several huge rocks piled together.

The irregular rock points on the surface look very conspicuous.

Chen Fei suddenly became interested, so he put away his ice axe, took out a bag of magnesium powder from his backpack, smeared it on his hands, and started rock climbing again.

Looking at this scene, those mountain climbing enthusiasts who had returned empty-handed several times were all furious!
They tried their best to climb up but couldn't, but Chen Fei climbed up with his bare hands and climbed up steadily!

Does the gap between people have to be so big?

Half an hour flew by.

When Chen Fei stood on the third step and reached an altitude of 8800 meters, all the noisy sounds in the barrage disappeared.

At this moment, only four words are swiping across the screen frantically!
It’s not “Free me”, but – “Congratulations on reaching the top”!
Without any hesitation, Fade Chen simply packed up his equipment and set off again.

He resisted the crazy glacier wind, walked carefully through the cross section, and then successfully reached the snow slope area he needed to face before officially reaching the summit.

At this time, the wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, and Chen Fei only felt a whistling sound like a wolf howling in his ears!
But he ignored it completely, instead bent down and headed towards 8848.86 on the top of the mountain without hesitation.

five minutes!
ten minutes!
fifteen minutes!

twenty minutes!

……

Braving the strong wind and heavy snow, at the 30th minute, he finally climbed to the highest point of Mount Everest!

At this time, the drone could no longer fly, so he simply held it in his arms, then lay on the ground to record the current scene for the audience and fans in the live broadcast room.

The night is deep, and the top of Mount Everest, at the top of the world, is being mercilessly enveloped by strong winds and blizzards.

The strong wind roared like a wild beast, as if it could blow a person's face into pieces. The blizzard was like dense arrows, flying in the darkness, making the already mysterious top of Mount Everest even more terrifying.

Under the extremely low temperature, ice crystals filled the air. The extreme cold of -60°C was like the whisper of death, corroding all life!
At the same time, the knife-like mountain ridges are looming in the night and the snow, as if they are the claws of the devil, ready to devour any life that dares to approach!

In this extremely harsh environment, there are almost no signs of life. Only the never-ending blizzards and winds demonstrate the absolute authority and power of nature, turning the top of Mount Everest into a daunting forbidden zone for life!

However, at this moment, Chen Fei came to this life restricted zone and was feeling the endless storm!

He didn't dare to get up because he was afraid that the storm would blow him away.

All he could do now was to lie firmly on the top of the mountain, tying himself tightly to the huge rock below him to prevent any accidents.

It’s not a pleasant feeling to be in the storm, it can even be said to be very painful!
However, Fade Chen had a bright smile on his face.

Just because he completed the "Master of Life" among the eight extreme items!
