Chapter 663 Afraid of a ghost 【Come to start to subscribe】

On a starry night, dots of stars hang above the darkness.

The surrounding mountains rise one after another, and the majestic peaks towering into the night in front of you, occupying half of the field of vision, are like a demon king preparing to meet the challenge of a brave man, which is extremely awe-inspiring.

"Jia Long, why come out when you have time?"

In the night breeze, there is a woman standing alone in the wind and snow watching the transparent night view of the mountains.

She is Zhu Ying.

"I can't sleep, I want to see my surroundings."

It was Jia Long who stepped out of the camp after the broadcast was turned off.

She walked outside the tent, and braved the cold wind, and walked together with Zhu Ying.

The two girls looked up at the dark and tall K[-], especially when they saw its height that could almost pierce the sky. They always had the illusion that it was impossible for them to climb to such a high place.

"Actually, I have already climbed two peaks over 8000 meters. When I climbed Mount Everest last time, I still felt good about myself. I thought I had climbed the highest mountain in the world. Others are definitely not a problem. But now I see K2 , Only then did I know that it is much, much more difficult than Mount Everest."

"Um……"

Jia Long didn't know what to respond, because she had never even seen Mount Everest with her own eyes.

"Jia Long, don't die, I still hope you are alive, and when I am in danger, show up and save my life."

Zhu Ying smiled at Jia Long.

"Yes, you will know how powerful I am right away."

Jia Long also smiled with bright eyes and bright teeth.

After chatting for less than 10 minutes, Jia Long and Zhu Ying wisely chose to return to their tents because of the cold outside.

Fear it or not, the next day will still come.

The sun is shining, and today is another good day.

The agency that gave the weather forecast did not disappoint. After a small snowstorm, they accurately predicted the weather in the next few days-it is a good day for climbing.

And the arrival of the seventh day also made Jia Long, who was halfway through the mission schedule, gradually adapt to the high-altitude environment.

Although there is still a dull pain on the forehead when I sleep at night, it is much better than before.

This also made Jia Long a little excited, looking forward to the start of today's itinerary.

"Okay, friends, today we will officially start..."

Captain Xiao was about to cheer everyone on, and the drone had already followed the well-dressed Jia Long, taking pictures of the team's departure.

boom……

Not far from the camera, just over 100 meters away from the base camp, on a mountain slope with a height of more than 200 meters, a thick layer of snow accumulated on the slope collapsed directly from the top ridge!

Yes, this is not too small an avalanche.

Fortunately, this is just a little avalanche attached to the ridge, and the place where the snow is accumulated is only a little bit of the ridge, but the momentum can be described as shaking the ground, and the ground shakes like a thousand horses galloping.

Then the snow on the entire mountain ridge collapsed, creating a large amount of snowflakes and dust, and at least ten meters of snowdrifts slid out of the bottom of the mountain ridge in an instant, which stopped the avalanche.

Fortunately, these were considered when the forward camp was built, and it was far away from the surrounding hillsides, so this avalanche would not affect the camp.

But this scene cast a dark cloud over the team that was just about to set off.

"This……"

Captain Xiao's face darkened.

If this peak is conscious, then this is its warning to everyone?
Of course, it has no consciousness.

"Everyone has seen it. This is the horror of K[-]. No matter how careful you are and how calculating the road we will take in the future, if you are unlucky and encounter an avalanche or falling rocks, you will still die... Are you afraid? If you are afraid, you can turn your head back and go down the mountain now."

No one speaks.

Everyone's faces showed a sense of generosity.

Others are professional mountaineers, for them, such a scene is a piece of cake, they have long been used to this kind of excitement hovering between life and death.

Surprisingly, Jia Long remained calm after seeing the catastrophic avalanche scene.

What they didn't know was that of course Jia Long remained calm, because she also experienced a lot of people, and even flew in a super terrifying tornado, and now it's just a small avalanche?
She was thinking, if it wasn't for the high reaction symptoms and the heavy load behind her, she might be able to use her rolling skills and parkour skills to perform acrobatics in this avalanche without dying.

So be afraid of a ghost.

"Since everyone is not afraid, let's go."

Everyone in the team did not bring too much supplies this time, and everyone went into battle lightly. On average, they only carried [-] to [-] kilograms.

They adopted the method of building the camp steadily, because there should be no major problems in the initial climbing, as long as they try to avoid slopes with the possibility of avalanche, at least to a certain extent, it can prevent the initial climbing. There is a possibility of casualties.

But there is no guarantee at the peak, because there are risks everywhere, and avalanches and even landslides may happen at any time.

Several strong male members, as well as the fellow packers who came out of the packer team and followed behind, brought a lot of rope.

You must know that to climb K[-], such a mountain without pre-installed fixed ropes, the mountaineering team has to build the ropes themselves, so the amount of ropes that must be prepared is extremely amazing.

At least the ropes prepared by Jia Long and his team have reached at least 8000 meters, which is about the same height as K[-].

With so many ropes, as long as they encounter relatively sloping and difficult terrain, they will start to be placed, which is to ensure the safety of the team.

For example, they had just climbed up a small hill obliquely, and when they reached a small raised hill at the foot of the north slope of K[-], Xu Hua and Captain Xiao, who were walking in the forefront, took the rope.

Because in front of this small hill is a more inclined slope of about 20 degrees, about [-] meters high, and there are clusters of white snowflakes everywhere on this small slope, even if there is no snow, it is not slippery. Autumn wet rocks.

Fortunately, everyone wore snow mountain shoes with metal spikes. Although they were not of the level of climbing to the summit, these shoes were still very easy to deal with such a small snow slope.

So Xu Hua, who is a "pioneer climbing", is in front, using a snow pole to help him walk, while hanging on to the rope.

Every five to ten meters, when he sees a crack that is suitable for placement, he will insert the rock plug prepared in his hand into the crack, and then use the same principle as the expansion screw to fix the rock plug, and then quickly hang the rope to the other superior.

Going forward a little bit like this, a "safe trail" that he opens the way and everyone behind can pass safely is born.

Of course, Xu Hua is not without safety protection, because when he sets the rope himself, he will also hang the quick hanger of his safety belt on the rope that has been installed behind him, and he also has a figure-eight buckle on his body, which is connected with the belt. With a long rope, it was pulled all the way down the cliff by the pulley principle, and was pulled by three other male team members.

If he is in danger, such as slipping or falling, then the male team members here can pull and hang him on the mountain instantly, which can avoid the result of falling directly to the cliff and dying.

Of course, there are many unexpected situations in these things, so it is best to avoid accidents as much as possible.

While the others were clearing the way, Jia Long and his remaining team members were not idle. They would help to untie the rope underneath to prevent the rope from getting knotted at an important moment, which would be a bit embarrassing.

In this way, we act efficiently up and down quickly, and the vanguard climbs and walks, so everyone's speed is not too slow.

puff……

Puff puff.

On a hillside with an inclination angle of [-] degrees on both sides, Captain Xiao slammed the ice pick on the ice under his feet, and then opened it to the ground, and then inserted a professional fixing device called a mechanical plug into the ice. A ground gap under the block, and then hang the rope on the quick-hanging device on the plug.

"Huh... the rope is used so fast, too much rope has been used for this journey."

It has been more than two hours since the start of the climb. Captain Xiao looked at the team members behind him, stepping on the ropes set up by their pioneers one by one.

Especially Jia Long, she is not at the end of the team now, because her technical level is worrying as a backer, so she is allowed to walk in the middle.

The team is divided into four groups, and the groups are interlocked with ropes. If one person has an accident, the people behind can at least share some gravity, so that the accident person is less likely to be injured or killed.

This is very necessary, because during the two-hour walk, Jia Long fell once, Zhu Ying fell once, and another male team member also fell once, but they all escaped because of the pulling of the team members. live a life.

"Ha... ha... so tall, so, so scary."

Jia Long stepped obliquely on the snowy footprints of the predecessors, on a snowy road, and beside him was the big cliff that Captain Xiao and the others just drove off, with an inclination angle of [-] degrees.

The cliff descends at a perfect 30-degree slope all the way down, with a height of more than [-] meters. Although the entire slope is covered with soft ice and snow, it is definitely painful to roll down.

At such a high place, and only relying on a rope to keep her life alive, Jia Long was even a little worried about whether the thin rope would be of great help. After all, she was a newcomer and had no idea whether these safety measures were effective.

So she walked tremblingly, the words she said to express just this morning, but now she has forgotten them.

This is very normal, because this is only her first experience of alpine climbing. For someone else, let alone walking such an oblique angle, she would fall down and cry for her father and mother before walking home.

"Jia Long, you are already great. You have fallen as many times as me, and you didn't say you were afraid when you came to such a place, but we all have to work hard, don't drag everyone down."

Zhu Ying was attached to Jia Long's back with a buckle, which showed that she was assigned to be Jia Long's support and companionship.

It's just that when Jia Long fell just now, she didn't help much. Jia Long just jumped up after falling, and she didn't drag others down much.

It was Zhu Ying herself who just fell at a small oblique corner and almost pulled Jia Long in front of her to roll behind her back. It was Jia Long who had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly pulled the life-saving rope beside her to death. People did not roll down the mountain together, causing the teammates in front to be pulled.
