Chapter 421: Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced
Eight thousand meters is a life and death line.
Pulmonary edema, cerebral edema, hypothermia and falls are the four major killers above 8,000 meters above sea level.
In this thin air zone, coughing can sometimes kill people, and even taking a breath can cause liver-tearing and abdominal-splitting pain. When the weather is bad, low temperatures, strong winds, and blizzards can kill even the strongest climbers.
But for Bifang, the more incredible the environment and the more demanding it is, the more freely his blood will flow when he later enjoys the relaxation after the pressure.
Perhaps that’s the rationale behind all risk-taking: In order to clear your mind of mundane matters, you consciously up the ante of hard work and focus.
This is a replica of life.
But there’s a difference: In your everyday life, mistakes can be corrected and compromises made to atone for mistakes, but at this particular time, your actions can be a matter of life and death.
The audience followed Bifang's gaze and silently gazed at the highest peak on earth. It was truly a lofty mountain to be admired. It was right there, seemingly within reach, yet out of reach.
Even the current Bifang cannot easily cross this line between life and death, and stands there woodenly.
To the audience, it seemed that there was really a cordon around this giant peak that no one would cross.
Rob, Phurba, and many other climbers all had their pupils trembling at this moment. Will they take that step? Will they take that step?
The effective oxygen content of the air in Camp C4 is only about 7.7%. It is difficult for normal people to concentrate and think here, and even their IQ may be reduced.
Even if Bifang stopped here, Puba could understand it very well.
At an altitude of 8,000 meters, everyone will change. This change is manifested in the infinite expansion of emotions and excessive fear of the uncertainty of high altitudes.
Sadness, hysteria, and irritability will all flood into your heart, but venting your emotions to resolve the fear in your heart is actually of no help at all. It will only consume more oxygen and energy.
In the village, Tenzin's heart tightened, Aidenborg's eyebrows trembled slightly, Wang Yongbo's beer belly trembled slightly, and Yao Jun jumped back and forth with his left and right feet.
From base camp to camp 4.
Maybe you'll have bad weather.
It stops you from moving forward.
Even waited for many days.
Anxious, reckless mood.
It will test your patience.
Or you may experience blurred vision, frostbite, and other symptoms.
Mount Everest is like a big testing ground.
Every detail of your body parts is put to the extreme test here.
Any small flaw will be magnified here.
It will let you see where your body's limits are.
After Camp 4, we entered the area above 8,000 meters.
The victims that keep appearing on the road will tell you that this is the place.
Death zone!
Bifang couldn't speak at this time. He just took out his mobile phone silently, looked at the low battery level, opened the map, and clicked on the location.
Maybe it's due to the signal, the buffer circle keeps spinning.
At this moment, Bifang seemed to be feeling unwell and began to breathe in and out continuously, like a person who is about to drown but can't breathe!
Such a weird scene made the audience anxious instantly. What if something happened? There was no one on the mountain, so Bifang could only wait to die!
The top leaders of Shark and Tiger Tooth all widened their eyes at the same time, staring at the screen, and silently greeted the gods of various sects in their hearts.
[Hurry up, Lao Fang, hurry up and retreat! ]
[Saving your life is important, saving your life is important! 】
[The mountain is always there, come again next time, come again next time]
[It's useless, he can't see the barrage! ]
Just when everyone was getting anxious, the circle on the phone finally stopped spinning and displayed a loading message.
A burst of laughter interrupted everyone's anxious mood, and everyone's brain shut down on the spot.
Bifang pointed at the location on his phone and laughed: "Look, I'm back home!"
The mobile phone was held high, and the audience could see clearly that the location displayed by the mobile phone was: China!
Not Nepal, but China.
This is my hometown!
But the original time is changing, it is two hours and fifteen minutes earlier!
It has become exactly the same as the time on the mobile phones of countless Chinese viewers !
After taking a few more breaths, Bifang continued, "When you get to Camp No. 4, your phone's location will be changed to China! The time will also be automatically set to the Chinese time zone. Remember not to delay things because of misremembering the time. I don't know if this counts as sneaking across the border. Fortunately, there are no sentries here, so I don't have to worry about my brain being hacked."
After saying this, Bi Fang kept silent. It was obvious that the rise and fall of his lungs was just to adjust the rhythm and say these words.
It’s Lao Fang’s style.
Well, the character fits.
[Now it's time to give your brain a magazine of bullets, no, a whole magazine of bullets! ]
[Fuck, you're panting just to say this? ]
[You scared the mentally ill out of me! ]
The audience was extremely furious, yet they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that the heavy breathing just now was to accumulate strength to speak!
Since the altitude exceeded 7,600 meters, Bifang has not spoken. The audience has gotten used to it, but they didn't expect him to suddenly say something like this. They were simply speechless.
Death zone?
Arriving at the death zone!
Without any hesitation, Bifang put away his phone and stepped forward towards the top!
It's fucking crazy!
Seeing Bifang moving forward without hesitation, the audience was completely excited. This was the God Fang, this was the God Fang!
The audience in China, in particular, are watching with eager eyes. Can we really make history?
The first Chinese person to reach the summit without oxygen, the first Chinese person to reach the summit solo without oxygen!
Everything seemed to be verified with this step.
However, the next moment, the excited audience seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.
Corpse.
There were corpses everywhere.
The summit is right in front of us, and death is even more within reach. Above 8,000 meters, what comes into view is not only the beautiful mountain, but also the bodies of the victims that are frequently seen, which are abrupt and eye-catching.
In the first person perspective, the audience suddenly felt a sense of fear, and even felt weak. Even though it was not themselves on the mountain, their legs were so weak that they could not stand.
In this last section of the distance, giving up may require more courage than moving forward.
However, Bifang's mentality was not affected at all. On the mountain road above 8,000 meters, there were more than a hundred corpses that could be seen. And it wasn't just over a hundred, but hundreds!
If we look at the vertical height, there is an average of one body every five meters in this 800 meters.
Such a high frequency, how can it not be frightening?
It was as if he was not heading to the top of the highest peak, nor to the place of glory and courage, but was walking on the Yellow Springs Road, heading towards the underworld.
Will there be Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters ahead?
This absurd thought , but when more and more corpses appeared, they fell silent.
The Death Zone, literally.
