Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 408 Desperate situation?

The climbing season is cancelled.

The news swept across the entire camp like a hurricane. Many people were astonished when they heard it. Some people were furious when they heard it, but some people were already psychologically prepared. Although they were not angry, they heaved a long sigh.

"The mountaineering association has no right to let us go down and suspend the summit! No!"

"I paid you 80,000 ugly gold, 80,000! Do you know what this concept is? You not only have to pay the full amount, but also compensate me for the loss! Otherwise, my lawyer will talk to you."

In the camp, Bi Fang took off his hat, the cold wind howled, and all kinds of quarrels rushed into his ears, making him laugh.

There are very few people like him who make impromptu decisions. If they really came here with the goal of climbing, they should not stay in the base camp now. At least they will train between the first camp and the second camp instead of staying. Wrangling with the guide at the base camp.

Most of those who stay here are people like Wang Yongbo and Yao Jun, who are rich, but after arriving at the base camp, they find that they can no longer go up because of their physical fitness. What's more, the Mountaineering Association promises that this year's mountaineering certificate will still be valid next year . The current quarrel is just to recover some losses, to get my money back.

After walking through most of the camp, Bi Fang went to the toilet. When he came back, he found that the situation had not improved, but worsened. He pointed the finger at the Sherpas, and someone even mentioned himself.

"This is a decision made by the Mountaineering Association. I am just a guide, Mr. Powerless."

"Why cancel the mountaineering season to mourn them? I paid for it! This is their job! They have to take risks with high wages! Could it be that an electrician was electrocuted and people in the city had to shut down for three days to commemorate Him? Huh?"

"Not only that, sir, the Khumbu Glacier after the avalanche is very dangerous. The original roads have all been destroyed, and no one can guarantee safety."

"Why can that Chinese man go up, but you can't? Don't you claim to be the most professional mountain guides? Can't you compare to an entertainment anchor?"

"Let's go, go down the mountain, come back next year, I'm used to it, three times in a row."

"Day your mother, refund the money!"

Tyes explained on a high platform, but no one listened to him, and he was so anxious that his chest was tight.

Sitting on the rock, Bi Fang took out a lollipop from his arms and held it in his mouth to replenish his blood sugar. He watched them quarrel quietly, and found it quite interesting. When Tais reported the cancellation of the climbing season, His mood swings were far greater than those of the noisy people in front of him.

The cancellation of the mountaineering season undoubtedly meant that my efforts were in vain, and the mission was doomed to fail, and my upper limit was locked by something called talent.

This is not disappointment, it is despair, despair like falling into an abyss.

But I lay on the bed and calmed down and thought about it. What can I do if I can't accept it when things are like this?

It's not that I can't improve my physical fitness, but it's just that my balance is lost, and I can't go hand in hand like now.

It is God's will, so what can be done?

The days to come may be more tiring, bitter, and even more dangerous, but there is no obstacle to what the heart wants. If you want to realize your ideals, how can you not pay the price?

It's a very simple reason. If it were him when he first came to this world, he might be able to figure it out, but Bi Fang, who has experienced many adventures, can already figure it out.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade everyone, Tais came to Bi Fang's side sweating profusely, and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I know that Mr. Fang wants to complete the record of climbing the summit without oxygen and become the first Chinese person to successfully challenge , but I’m really sorry, there’s nothing I can do when such an accident happens.”

After chewing the candy in his mouth, Bi Fang shook his head: "It's okay, I've been mentally prepared for a long time."

Bi Fang is not surprised at all that the Mountaineering Association's old operation has been done. It is because of mental preparation that he can be so calm when the mission fails.

Picking up the drone on the side, Bi Fang was about to tell the fans the news, but unexpectedly, the fans knew it faster than him. As soon as they entered the live broadcast room, they asked Bi Fang if the mountaineering season had been cancelled.

The moment Bi Fang nodded, there was a wailing sound.

[Wori, I have been looking forward to climbing for so long, so anticlimactic? 】

[Is there any way to do this, you can talk to the association]

[It's not going to be cancelled, is it? 】

[Why, remembering can be changed in another way, why is it so simple and rude? 】

Yeah, why is it so simple and rude?

Bi Fang looked up at the sun and squinted his eyes. He could accept it, but it didn't mean he was willing.

"If you have to say the reason, maybe it is the conflict between man and nature?"

Conflict between man and nature?

Tais, who pricked up his ears, was stunned for a moment, wondering why Bi Fang said that, isn't this a very common mourning? What is the relationship between man and nature?

Even Tais didn't quite understand it, and the audience in front of the screen couldn't understand it even more.

Bi Fang pursed his lips. In front of Tais, he didn't know whether to say it, but he hesitated for a while, and said it anyway.

The Sherpas have lived on farming and grazing for generations, and their lives are peaceful and peaceful. And climbers flying to Nepal from all over the world broke the peace with their desire to conquer Mount Everest.

The arrival of outsiders brings a better life. Everyone has the right to pursue a better life. They want a better life so that their children can stand out. They don’t have to be trapped in the mountains all their lives, and they can also feed their parents, wives and children. Happy, but the premise of all this requires money, so the original Sherpas are very happy.

Sherpas living deep in the mountains have no other means of earning a living, and mountaineering is their most profitable activity.

But those rich people who simply want to conquer Mount Everest only regard climbing to the top as a gain of fame and fortune. All kinds of garbage and corpses are left on the mountain but they still go on. Dry?

In the grand plan of climbers, the role played by the Sherpas is mostly "servants" who obey orders, do all the auxiliary work related to the summit of Mount Everest, and assist these climbers who spend a lot of money to complete the summit. dream.

The climbers flew from Kathmandu, Nepal to Lukla Airport and walked for ten days to the base camp. They ask a lot and carry little. Manpower is almost entirely dependent on Sherpas.

In the past, one person in the team was successful in reaching the summit, but now everyone has paid and the company is trying to get everyone to reach the summit, which means that more supplies are needed.

Sherpas build the camp from the bottom up, hauling and storing supplies for weeks to give guests the best chance of reaching the summit. This is a labor-intensive industry, and more and more Sherpas choose to work on the mountain.

"We passed the Khumbu Glacier on the way, and you know how dangerous it is. The Khumbu Icefall is a waterfall formed by the glacier flowing out of the West Valley. It is sensitive to sunlight, and huge ice blocks always fall without warning.

Climbers only need to go through the Khumbu Ice Falls 2 to 3 times, but in the process of carrying and paving the road, the Sherpas need to go through the Khumbu Ice Falls 30 to 40 times every season. Sherpas are far more likely to die than climbers. "

The audience thought about that scene, thirty to forty times a season?

Even if the death rate is 1%, if many times are superimposed, the probability will become infinitely high.

"The death rate is only one of the reasons, and the bigger reason is the squeeze." Bi Fang talked about the legs of his trousers so that he could sit more comfortably, and continued.

Nowadays, people's business of climbing Mount Everest has become everything managed by mountaineering companies. The Sherpas serve the mountaineering company, and all materials for the summit are carried up the mountain by the Sherpas.

The wrinkled man uses only a wooden stick as a trekking pole, and the bamboo basket on his back is full of 3 large hiking bags of different colors.

The women joined the carrying team, with white bags tied behind the luggage behind them, tied over their heads, and pressed tightly with both hands.

Carrying larger and heavier materials than their own body, they climbed up the mountain step by step. Only children can run wantonly.

Climbers took trekking poles and walked in the forefront.

But that's it, their gains are pitiful.

Even the Nepalese government squeezed them, and even banned planes from carrying supplies up the mountain.

Most of the 100,000 ugly gold climbing fees paid by climbers went into the pockets of the government, and the other part fell into the mountaineering companies. After working for a climbing season, in 2014, each Sherpa received only a small share of the pie—about 4,000 ugly knives.

"These are the reasons and the fuse. After the avalanche in 2014, the powder keg was completely ignited. By the way, you are also a member of the association. It should be clear what happened later, right?"

Bi Fang looked at Tyes.

At this time, Tais was already ashamed.
