Chapter 407 Cancellation of Mountaineering Season

"Go away, go away! Go away!"

The people who claimed to be members of the Mountaineering Association beat and kicked the reporters like dogskin plasters when they first arrived. These reporters were uncomfortable on the 5,000-meter plateau. He fell to the ground and gasped for breath.

Seeing that several people were about to climb up, the association staff had no time to introduce their identities and pulled Bi Fang and others back to the camp. It was not until they entered the tent that they became quieter.

"Mr. Bi, you are finally back!" Tais, the leading member of the association, was a little anxious.

Tayes looks a bit like a traditional Nepalese, short in stature, anxious to speak but articulate: "I am Tayes, the secretary of the Nepal Mountaineering Association. This avalanche happened suddenly and the loss was even more serious. We are The only member of the association staying at the base camp at present, thank you for your contribution to the climbers, but the rescue team is still unable to officially arrive, I have watched it"

"Just tell me, what do you need me to do?" Bi Fang could clearly understand the priority of the matter, and he knew roughly what the other party meant.

"I hope you can explain the scene of the avalanche in detail again, and the time is urgent. We hope you can organize people to organize the rescue first." Tais spoke quickly, showing that he was really anxious.

This request is really too much, to save people?

How to save?

Will there be a secondary avalanche? A large avalanche can even change the terrain, making guides with less experience at a loss. Those glacier cracks that have been covered up in a large number are like sharp swords hanging above their heads.

In the eyes of many people, pulling down the mountain along the way is the best of benevolence.

There is no way, natural disasters have continued on Mount Everest for the past ten years, and the Internet is developing more and more rapidly. The whole world can know about anything. If this incident cannot be effectively handled, it may cause a huge impact on future tourism development.

Don’t underestimate the economic effect of Mount Everest on Nepal. How many people climb the mountain is one thing. At least a thousand people spend money to buy a permit every year. Maybe less than half of them come, but at least one person who comes here costs seven to eighty thousand ugly dollars. , not to mention the consumption that comes to Nepal, these people alone are the income of hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention those who simply come to travel.

In addition, due to environmental protection issues and the opposition of the Sherpas, Mount Everest has not developed smoothly.

If there is another big problem this time, it will be a heavy blow to the local development. No one will come to climb the mountain, and the tourism industry will not develop, so there is no need for their mountaineering association to exist.

But rescue is not so easy to do. The more extreme the environment is, the more it is. From risk assessment to rescue efficiency, it is undoubtedly not a big problem. If you are too anxious, the problem may be even bigger.

Under such a background, Bi Fang's appearance is undoubtedly a life-saving straw in the eyes of the Mountaineering Association!

Another important reason is that the other party is broadcasting live! An epic global anchor!

Rescue is difficult, and professionals can understand it, but laymen can’t. People just think that you don’t care about the lives of climbers at all. Besides, climbers are almost all wealthy people, and it’s impossible to think differently. Such a situation worse.

After listening to Tais's words, the audience also understood why the other party was so eager to let a passenger who survived the avalanche go to the rescue organization first.

[This is treating Fang Shen as a life-saving straw]

[Awesome, probably no one can use it]

[The main thing is that Lao Fang is so good, who would have thought that the avalanche is coming, not to mention surviving, and bringing his teammates along with him]

【If those two climbers didn't run, they would have achieved a super god achievement】

Indeed, whether it is in terms of ability or courage, Bi Fang's execution under the vast natural disasters this time is extremely high, and he even rescued others on the way to send his teammates down the mountain. Under such circumstances, relying on experience and ability to go down the mountain to open the way again.

Proficient in first aid, inhuman physique, rich knowledge, rich experience, even the organizational ability is also remarkable, the rescue is as fast as possible, on the vast Mount Everest, without any helpers, there is no such person It doesn't make sense to be caught as a strong man.

No matter how to assess the danger, can someone with personal experience understand it?

No matter how experienced, is there anyone who can open up a path?

So far, how could Bi Fang refuse?

He nodded without saying a word.

"But it's not enough for me alone. I need helpers. The seriously injured also need to be carried down the mountain. There should not be too many people, but at least five or six experts, preferably Sherpas, and some equipment should be prepared for me. Okay, including sleds, snow shovels, detection sticks, and stretchers." Bi Fang said in a deep voice, writing down a list and handing it to the other party.

"It's easy to say!" Seeing that the other party agreed, Tais was overjoyed, "The people behind me are all native Sherpas, and they are all young and strong. Under six kilometers, two people can even take one person with them. Carry it down the mountain! And I have a good helper here."

"helper?"

Without waiting for Bi Fang to be puzzled, Tais whistled, and a dog barked, and a big white-skinned and brown-backed dog entered from the bottom of the tent.

"Saint Bernard!" Bi Fang exclaimed in surprise.

【dog? 】

[It looks like a rescue dog, right? 】

【Saint Bernard, so familiar】

[What kind of dog is this? Why have I never seen it in China before?]

"This is my friend, Barry, who used to be a rescue dog, but retired due to injury the year before last, and was adopted by me." This St. Bernard was raised by Tyes himself. When the avalanche happened, several of their associations The members and Barry all stayed at an altitude of more than 4,000. When it came to being a search and rescue dog, Tyrese was even a little proud.

The audience was puzzled by Bi Fang's excitement, and while Tais was out to prepare equipment, Bi Fang explained a little.

St. Bernard was originally a guard dog in a monastery in the Swiss Alps. Because of his excellent ability to recognize the way, he became a guide dog. However, the Alps also had frequent snowstorms, and the monks took them to rescue people. It turned out that St. Bernard's guide dog is extremely powerful in search and rescue, with a strong sense of smell and dragging ability, and has become a world-renowned snow mountain search and rescue dog.

However, with the development of the times, snow mountain rescue has become a helicopter, and St. Bernard has gradually disappeared in this industry, becoming a family dog ​​and a nanny dog. Bi Fang never thought that he would return to "tradition" one day.

【It's awesome, but I've never seen it before】

Bi Fang scratched his eyebrows, it was embarrassing to say this.

St. Bernard is the national dog of Switzerland, but after it was introduced, many people valued its characteristics of less disease, faster growth and longer growth, and became a dog for meat.

The national dog has become a dog for meat, can Switzerland bear it?

"So Switzerland intervened and banned the export of St. Bernard to countries that eat dog meat."

audience:"."

At this time, Tais also came back from the outside. Using his status as a member of the association, he borrowed the first aid equipment for the personnel who were still staying in the base camp, and within a short while borrowed the supplies Bi Fang wanted.

"Okay, time is running out, we have to set off again quickly."

Seeing that everything was ready, Bi Fang didn't talk nonsense, led St. Bernard, installed all the medical equipment, and boarded again with the manpower prepared by Tyes.

Yao Jun and Jarrett stayed in the base camp and received comprehensive treatment together with the other injured.

When he came out again to look at Daxue Mountain, Bi Fang squinted his eyes.

According to Tais' information, there were four rescue teams on the Khumbu Glacier last night, with a total of 36 people. As for whether there are others, it is unknown. rescued as much as possible.

I have experienced downhill and rescue once, and the risk level of this operation is not too high.

the only problem is

Will the Mountaineering Association and the Nepal Tourism Board cancel the climbing season?

This is not Bi Fang’s delusion, but something that actually happened. The mountaineering season of Mount Everest was canceled during the window period. The reasons included environmental issues, risk assessment issues, and even disaster issues.

After the 14-year avalanche, Nepal canceled the 2014 Mountaineering Festival to commemorate the colleagues who died in the previous avalanche accident.

Not in 15 years, because it was a major earthquake, even if it is not cancelled, no one dares to climb the mountain again.

This time the situation is almost exactly the same, which made Bi Fang very worried, so he agreed to the rescue without hesitation, the purpose is to brush up the favorability of the association, and if it really happens, he can speak well , while reducing casualties, and strive to minimize the impact.

Holding the dog on the leash, Bi Fang restrained himself and said to the Sherpa behind him.

"Go, save people!"

"*** News Nepal Mountaineering Association confirmed in Lingcheng on May 3 that the Everest avalanche triggered that day caused part of Camp No. 1 to be buried, killing 6 people and injuring at least 30 people. There are hundreds of climbers and guides who cannot be contacted right now."

"The Nepal Mountaineering Association confirmed last night that the area hit by the avalanche is located between the Khumbu Glacier and the base camp caused by the collapse of ice and snow. He said that the specific details of the avalanche are not yet clear, and communication between the base camp of the climbers and other areas of Mount Everest is intermittent."

"Nepal Police Chief Chandra Dev Rai said that there were about 700 climbers in the Solu Kumbu area involved in Mount Everest, 300 of whom were supposed to be in the base camp and 200 in the No. 1 base camp. There are about four climbing teams on the Khumbu Glacier."

"In this avalanche on Mount Everest, the famous adventurer and professional anchor Bi Fang was also at the scene. He got in touch again within less than ten minutes after losing contact, and showed a textbook-level self-rescue on the spot. At the first moment, Bi Fang was unflappable in the face of danger, not only able to keep a calm mind, but also choose the most correct way of self-rescue, and won a precious chance of survival for himself and his teammates."

"Except for the two guides who left alone, the team led by Bi Fang was almost unscathed, and went down the mountain in the early morning of the 4th, regardless of personal safety, rescued dozens of people along the way, and successfully saved the lives of two seriously injured people, which is even more admirable What's more, after going down the mountain, invited by the Mountaineering Association, he led the local people to carry out two or even three rescues. Together with the rescue dog Barry, they successfully took the seriously injured to the base camp for treatment. At the same time, they dug out two other teams. For disaster victims and professional households who save lives.”

"At 4:37 p.m. that day, the rescue helicopter arrived successfully. Under the command and leadership of Bi Fang, the rescue operation was carried out in an orderly manner. It embodies the spiritual outlook of the children of China, is "

"Currently, the two tents in the base camp of the Mount Everest base are already full of wounded people. The director of the Mountaineer Association, Tais, claimed: 'The number of casualties may continue to rise'. This report is temporarily here."

Early morning on May 5th.

Bi Fang opened his eyes wearily, and Barry who was beside him seemed to have noticed something, and got up and licked Bi Fang's palm.

"Well"

He sighed and sat up from the bed. Since the avalanche in the early morning of the previous night, until yesterday evening, Bi Fang did not have a good rest. After successfully saving himself, he took Yao Jun and the two down the mountain, and then went up the mountain again, and down the mountain again.

When the rescue team arrived, Bi Fang took them through the safe route again, and re-installed the aluminum ladder and lifting rope with the Sherpas, and came back to rest after the handover.

It is estimated that the rescue team did not rest last night. However, the rescue team has found out the route, and the rescue efficiency has greatly increased. Besides, Bi Fang has a good memory. After verification, the original route can also be restored. Although all teams may not follow the same route, it also provides a certain basis and reference for rescue.

After my day-to-day hard work, the rescue team's three helicopters, and the four professional search and rescue teams' all-night struggle, the Khumbu Glacier personnel have brought out everything they can.

As for the rescue of Base Camp No. 1, there is no need to worry too much. One is that only the buried part is there, and the whole belongs to the platform, so the rescue is convenient. soon.

From the start to the end, the loss was minimized within 24 hours, which can be called the limit of the rescue speed in the snow mountain.

Looking up at the time, it was already eight in the morning.

I don't know if the news that Tais was asked to inquire has come back. The death toll on the Khumbu Glacier is currently six, which is almost the same as the previous case, which makes Bi Fang very disturbed.

I looked up and looked outside the tent. Through the sunlight, I could see some figures. They were reporters who were still trying to get the news, but unfortunately they were stopped by other climbers.

Although these people lack professionalism, some small things can still help.

Just as Bi Fang was thinking wildly, the curtains of the tent were suddenly lifted, and Tais looked a little ugly. He was a little surprised when he saw Bi Fang woke up, and hurried forward with the man.

"Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Bi Fang nodded, "What's the matter?"

Thais knew what Bi Fang was asking, lowered his head and sighed, and Bi Fang's heart sank to the bottom instantly.

"Association appreciates what you do, though."

"Climbing season canceled."
