Entering February, Bruce left early and returned late, busy every day without touching the ground.

Jennifer has participated in several awards ceremonies one after another this month, as well as some business events.Maha seems to want to make up for the work that was left behind some time ago, wishing to block out the time for her physical training to catch up with the progress.However, after the Oscars ceremony on February 2, she showed a little frustration, and the female agent suddenly stopped fire: Jennifer failed to win the crown from Meryl as expected.

In early March, "Wilderness Challenge" announced the fifth round of the competition to the public, and immediately called players from all over the world to Monzo in Nepal, leaving behind a big explosion of discussion.

Without him, the project announced by the Gein program group is really appalling——

Straight into the sky.

What does it mean to go straight into the sky?Simply put, it is to conquer one mountain after another.

The first target mountain to be released was the legendary Mount Everest.

The world may not know the names of other famous peaks in the Himalayas, and may not even know the name of the second and third highest peaks, but most people can accurately call the name of the world's highest peak.Chinese and Tibetans on the northern slope call her "Mother of the World", and Nepalese on the southern slope call her "Goddess of the Sky", while most people praise her as the roof of the world, the top of the earth, and the highest place on the earth.The height of more than 8800 meters makes other peaks bow down in front of Mount Everest, and it also makes her a dream destination for many people—just ask, which boy has never thought of standing on the highest point in the world, and which girl has never thought of getting closer to the sky What about the stars?

Since the beginning of the [-]th century, countless people have challenged to the top of Mount Everest.

Some of them succeeded-in 1953, New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Nepalese guide Tenzing Norgay became the first people in the world to successfully climb to the top; some failed-in 1922, the British explorer George Mallory and teammate Andrew Irwin were just some of the most notable victims of misfortune on their second attempt to summit Everest.From Mount Everest being recognized as the highest peak in the world to humans finally setting foot here, this Goddess Peak has claimed more than 20 lives. In the decades since the world's third pole became a tourist attraction, there are at least hundreds of people. The climbers smashed their halberds into the sand.

Today, climbing Mount Everest has become a coloring agent for many successful people to add bricks and tiles to their resumes.

Regardless of the south slope, the more dangerous north slope, or even the west slope, there are common paths used by commercial mountaineering teams. People set up climbing ladders and climbing ropes in some Jedi, and hire Sherpas as guides and load bearers, costing tens of thousands of dollars. It is said that some climbers do not know how to wear crampons until they arrive at the base camp, and others even remove the tool tags at that time.In any case, most of them will get their wish, while a small number of them will stay on the mountain forever and become a part of the near death of Mount Everest.

Jennifer doesn't know much about mountaineering.

At least her knowledge let her know that Mount Everest is not strictly a snow peak that is extremely difficult to climb. There are some virgin peaks above Mount Everest that have never been conquered, and some have a mortality rate as high as 50% or even 90%. hell peak.Among the 8000 peaks over [-] meters above sea level, Mount Everest has never been the most troublesome destination for climbers. Instead, it is often used as a training ground and outpost for climbing other snow peaks.

Besides the contestants, all the contestants received advance notice from the program team more than a month ago, and they all received the injection of the black bear medicine within this month. A few contestants with serious injuries due to wild animal attacks or virus infections were allowed to Received injection repair of reptile potion.By the way, Stark's wish has come true. Large-scale research and promotion of reptile medicines have been carried out all over the world, and it may soon benefit all mankind.

But danger and not danger are relative.

At an altitude of 8000 meters, the cruising altitude of a large Airbus aircraft is no more than that. Oxygen deficiency, cold, strong wind, blizzard, falling objects, avalanche... Countless uncertain factors are waiting for the contestants. A small Mistakes can be disastrous, sometimes affecting other team members.

The camp fell into dead silence, only the host was still lightly enlivening the atmosphere for the live broadcast.

Ryan Seacrest is the host of "American Idol" and one of the most profitable hosts. Jennifer was the last to complete the medical examination (due to some special circumstances) and was hearing him explaining to the camera when she entered the assembly location project.

Compared with the various competition rules in the first four rounds, the fifth round couldn't be more concise.All players will continue to challenge and receive a comprehensive physical examination and recovery after each challenge until there are 16 or less players left.

Brutal, but, yes, concise.

"We will start from the south slope." Ryan shot the holographic projection in the air, "The spring climbing season will start soon, and the southeast ridge route is the choice of most successful climbers, and the schedule has been distributed to everyone There is one thing I must remind you, as specifically emphasized in the competition manual, in order to challenge the limit and to be fair to other climbers, this round of challenges will not be equipped with life rings throughout the whole process.”

Not using the ring of life, this is something the contestants have known for a long time, but it is the first time for the audience to hear about it.

[I call this a one-brained death. 】

【Crazy?I admit that some of the contestants may have the potential to climb Mount Everest, but most of them only have the knowledge of wilderness survival and good physical strength, which is far from enough compared to mountaineers, right?Is the program crew putting their lives on the show? 】

[Although I also think it is wrong, but to be fair, many people who go to climb Mount Everest every year are actually not as good as the players.Not to mention the present, so what if we go back to the 20th century. At that time, didn’t rich people succeed in reaching the top with their excellent equipment and a large number of Sherpas? 】

[The program team doesn’t even allow contestants to use life rings. I’ve read a lot of biographical literature, and I can’t imagine what would happen if my favorite contestant had an accident on the Hillary Step. What would you use to apologize to the audience? 】

[I have been researching information since the project was announced. I really can’t understand those mountaineering enthusiasts. Is it worth climbing a mountain?Isn't it just a mountain?What about climbing to the top?Let's talk about the contestants, if something really happens, is it worth it for a reality show? 】

[Can't communicate with the people upstairs. 】

【This is Mount Everest!How many people have the time, energy, wealth, and opportunity to climb her all their lives?The program team has been confirming to the contestants whether they want to participate, and they will also carry out adaptive training before participating. Does anyone put a knife on the neck to force the contestants to participate? 】

[You guys were arguing so fiercely that I didn't dare to speak just now, but I have to say something now: This is Mount Everest! 】

The comment area was filled with various suggestions, the audience was arguing, and the campsite was full of whispers.Many contestants were bowing their heads in thought, trying to keep the ballpoint pens in their hands. Some contestants quickly drew out their signatures and then closed their eyes without looking at the contract.

Jennifer was also spinning her pen.

"You have the last time to think." Ryan said seriously. "Ladies and gentlemen, you must understand that this is not a drill, nor is it on the set. Climbing Mount Everest is a real test with no room for it. Without the protection of the life ring, even the program team cannot be sure that they can rescue trapped or injured athletes in the first place. In other words, your climbing conditions will not be worse than any amateur climbers, and you will definitely not be better than any Amateur climbers better."

Following his words, Jennifer read the agreement from beginning to end again.

At this moment, she remembered something innocuous: the famous street magician David Blaine once performed for the stars after an awards ceremony.As we all know, David is famous for his lunatic magic designs. He once buried himself in a coffin for a week, stayed in an ice box for more than 61 hours, and survived in water for seven days and nights... At that time, he was performing digging. Xin and Needle Magic also signed a death waiver for everyone present.

David has always had good luck in performances. I heard that this year he is going to challenge himself to shock himself with 100 million volts of high-voltage electricity for 72 hours. There are not a few magicians with courage like him, but a considerable number of them are challenging the limit When they sacrificed their precious lives-the time for them to train and study in the magic trick can never be shorter than the time for the players to train to climb the snow peak.

Among the remaining 32 players, there is no lack of mountaineering enthusiasts. As far as Jennifer knows, there is a female player named Dolores Hart who has climbed Cho Oyu Peak. It can be said that she is a professional mountaineering Players, the challenge in this round should be easier than other players.Jennifer understood this. The competition environment of "Wilderness Challenge" has been changing, and some people will always benefit from it, and some people will always find it difficult. Maybe some more powerful climbers will be eliminated in Haidaoguan.

Just because she understands it doesn't mean other players can understand it. At least in the preparation room, Jennifer often sees some players cast unkind glances at Dolores.Snow mountains, changeable weather, and interest disputes are easily reminiscent of the biggest tragedy that happened on Mount Everest in 96.

In the end, all 32 people signed the contract.

In the end, people can't help asking—"32 people went up the mountain, how many of them can reach the summit smoothly, and how many of them can return safely?"

The contestants in the tent are still making final preparations before the training period, and Mount Everest not far away is covered with ice crystal flashes under the sunlight.She can't be said to be very elegant, nor very aesthetic, but her detachment and size are enough to cover up any structural shortcomings.Somehow, the audience suddenly realized that the protagonists of the fifth round of challenges were never those contestants, but this mountain and many mountains that traversed it.

How many people in the world can accomplish this kind of task?
