Everest

At around 06:30 in the afternoon, Geng Aiqing's first team officially arrived at the advance camp. Everyone felt uncomfortable. The strong reaction made everyone have to use gestures to express their meaning. Geng Aiqing felt that his headache was getting worse. But they couldn't rest immediately, because in the forward camp, they had to build tents by themselves.

After some discussion, they finally decided to set up the tent at a higher altitude. In fact, the higher place, that is, the location at an altitude of 6500 meters, did not exceed the range of the advance camp, but due to the terrain of the advance camp It is slightly different from the other camps, so they have a little room to choose.

There are not many tents in the camp, there is only one relatively large living tent, which is the place where climbers from different teams can communicate with each other, and the rest are some private tents scattered on the glacier gravel, with bright colors and snow-white sides The East Rongbuk Glacier is in stark contrast.

After finally fixing the tent, Geng Aiqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the surrounding environment.

The advance camp is located in the narrow valley with a length of one kilometer under the ice wall of the North Col of Mount Everest. The left S-shaped exit also leads to the relatively scarce oxygen here, so basically people who come here will directly feel the hypoxia and high pressure reaction, but it can be regarded as the first dangerous hurdle to climb Mount Everest.

Before that, Geng Aiqing didn't know about it.

He had a splitting headache, and after staying outside for a while, he got back into his tent, trying to rely on sleep to relieve the pressure from his brain.

Lin Sheng dragged him out of the tent, stuffed him with two high-resistance pills, and forcefully filled him with water. Geng Aiqing coughed a few times and managed to regain his sanity.

"What for?" he asked.

Lin Sheng said solemnly: "I can't sleep now. In order to ensure our work and rest, we must sleep after twelve o'clock after we are here. Also, how are you? I feel that something is wrong with you?"

Geng Aiqing rubbed her temples and stood up, a little helplessly said: "The headache is very painful, like a needle prick. Do you feel nothing?"

"Of course." Lin Sheng had a painful expression on his face, but he quickly suppressed the pain, smiled and said, "Even Luosang vomited for a while just now, can I still bear it? You Don't look at me like this, I also have a very headache, but it should be lighter than yours."

"Okay..." Geng Aiqing looked around and asked, "Where's Shen Biwen?"

"Brother Shen and Uncle Pei went over there to find someone. They seem to have met some acquaintances." Geng Aiqing was a little strange, and asked, "Who are they looking for? They still know someone here?"

Before he finished speaking, he felt someone pat on his shoulder. He was completely unprepared and almost fell to his knees when he was patted. Shen Biwen who followed from behind hurriedly hugged him up.

Geng Aiqing struggled to stand up straight, not daring to look at Shen Biwen's face, and looked at who was taking pictures of him just now with some doubts. Turning his head, he saw two familiar faces.

As early as when he was at the Yangbajing training base, he had met one of them, Wu Wei, and standing next to Wu Wei was another person from the CEO circle he had been talking about, Li Laisheng, President Li, and Geng Aiqing. Na Guo is not familiar with him, and he was nodding acquaintance in the past, but this is after all at an altitude of 6000 meters, and both of them have a kind of intimacy of seeing fellow villagers.

"Are you Mr. Geng from the executive circle that Xiao Wu mentioned?" After getting acquainted with him, Mr. Li couldn't help but joked about him.

Geng Aiqing smiled: "That's not true, Mr. Li from the president's circle. But, how could you be so fast?"

Geng Aiqing remembered that when they set off from the Yangbajing training base, Mr. Li hadn't arrived yet, and Wu Wei was still waiting for him at the base, and they didn't see Wu Wei and his team on the way thereafter. , I didn't expect them to arrive earlier than my team.

Wu Wei smiled and said, "Boss Li and I came here just the day before yesterday, and we've been here for two days. I don't know why we didn't meet you..."

"Did you go back and forth for training a few times?" President Li glanced at Shen Biwen who had been silent all this time, "I guess Xiao Shen will take you this way, be on the safe side, if that's the case, you didn't meet We can make sense, there is almost no pause between us, and we have reached this point all the way up." Mr. Li coughed a few times, and said helplessly, "After we got here, we had to slow down. It's too exhausting."

"Indeed." Geng Aiqing nodded in understanding.

Li Laisheng talked to him for a while and then turned to talk to Shen Biwen. Judging from their tone of voice, they were quite familiar with each other.

"Boss Li and Shen Biwen have a good relationship...?" Lin Sheng asked in a low voice.

Wu Wei smiled naively and said: "Of course, Brother Shen has climbed the snow-capped mountains with us."

"Huh?" Lin Sheng asked strangely, "Really?"

Wu Wei nodded: "That's right, it's the one next to us, Cho Oyu Peak. Last year he climbed with Mr. Li. I didn't go there at that time, and I waited for them at the camp."

Geng Aiqing did remember that Shen Biwen mentioned this matter, but he climbed with Mr. Li, so he didn't know about it.

They chatted here for a while, Shen Biwen and Mr. Li had finished talking. Mr. Li led Wu Wei to greet them and then went back to his tent. Lin Sheng also went back to find something to eat. , when Shen Biwen came back, only Geng Aiqing was left there.

"Finished talking?" Geng Aiqing waved at him feebly.

"Head still hurts?" Shen Biwen asked.

"How do you know...forget it..." Geng Aiqing paused for a moment, "I feel drowsy, and I feel like someone is playing dance music inside. If I don't have all the strength now, or I'm going to dance disco."

Shen Biwen was not amused by his description, but the expression on his face became more tense, he touched Geng Aiqing's forehead hesitantly, and said in a low voice: "You don't have a fever, do you have any other feelings besides headache? "

"How does it feel?" Geng Aiqing asked strangely.

"A stronger feeling...like vomiting and dizziness?"

Geng Aiqing glared at him angrily: "Of course not, I'm not pregnant."

"You need to eat something to recharge your energy." Shen Biwen helped him up and walked to his tent, then he got in and dug out, and finally found a can of meat and handed it to him, Geng Aiqing He doesn't like canned food. He always feels that those things are not like normal edible things, but this is not the time to be picky. After eating, Geng Aiqing felt that his headache was relieved a little.

"Maybe it's a psychological effect." Geng Aiqing asked with a sigh, "What about you? Do you have no high reaction symptoms?"

Shen Biwen paused and shook his head.

"Your physical fitness is really good." Geng Aiqing looked up at him slightly, and gave him a thumbs up.

Shen Biwen stared at his purple lips from the cold. Geng Aiqing complained about the existence of the mask from the very beginning. He always felt that wearing a mask disturbed his breathing. There was not enough oxygen here. For a good reason, he stuffed the mask into his backpack. Of course, the consequence of doing so was that his face was in a numb state for a long time, frozen.

Shen Biwen also felt that he might be a demon, looking at Geng Aiqing's lips opening and closing as he spoke, he actually wanted to kiss that mouth.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Shen Biwen in a daze, Geng Aiqing kicked him.

Shen Biwen came back to his senses, and looked in another direction with wandering eyes: "It's nothing, I'll ask Uncle Pei if there is anything I need." After finishing speaking, he left.

Geng Aiqing stood in the same place and hadn't come back to his senses. He looked at the back of Shen Biwen who had gone away, his brain was thinking slowly and stiffly. After he had walked a long way, Geng Aiqing felt a little lost from the back. The taste of escape.
