Mount Qomolangma, the snowy slope in the north depression.
Because of the avalanche, the entire snowy slope was torn apart.
The geological structure became very unstable.
Without any safety measures, if everyone hastily climbed together, they might encounter danger again.
Tang Chen decided to climb up the snowy slope of the north depression first and set up a safety rope from top to bottom.
This could minimize the danger and provide safety for the members who climbed later.
In the eyes of everyone, Tang Chen's actions and plan to climb alone were very dangerous.
However, Tang Chen understood.
It was safer for him to climb alone.
When they were climbing together, he had the responsibility and obligation as the team leader to take care of everyone.
If he climbed alone, not only would he be able to concentrate, but he would also be able to increase his speed.
He estimated that fifteen minutes was enough for him to climb to the top of the slope.
Emergency Rescue Headquarters.
When Academician Zhang saw that Tang Chen planned to climb alone, his worries deepened.
This was because in the history of the northern depression's snowy slope, no one had ever succeeded in climbing it alone.
Without the help of his teammates, any small mistake would cause the climber to fall into a dead end.
Academician Zhang exclaimed.
"Chief, Captain Tang climbed such a dangerous snowy slope alone."
"If an accident happens, I'm afraid we'll fall into a helpless situation."
"From a safety point of view, I suggest Captain Tang take a break and try climbing with the team members."
The old general returned to his seat and stared at the screen.
He knew that this was a crucial time to test Tang Chen's individual combat ability.
Only Tang Chen was the first to reach the top, pulling out a safety rope that led to the top of the slope.
Only then would the entire assault team be able to reach the summit safely and smoothly.
It was like on the battlefield, as long as the charge horn sounded.
There would always be vanguard soldiers leading the charge into the local camp, opening up the situation for the subsequent charge.
Thus, he said.
"I believe in his choice."
"Tang Chen will definitely succeed in this climb!”
At this moment.
Tang Chen had already used his fastest speed to walk through a section of the slope with a smaller slope and arrived at the break in the snow slope.
Seeing the ice crack that almost swallowed the entire team, everyone's hearts were on tenterhooks.
They all pulled the safety rope at the starting point to prevent any special situations.
It was because they were going downhill.
On the cliff opposite the crack.
It was two meters higher than where Tang Chen was.
It was a completely vertical cliff. Climbing over it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
The situation was urgent.
Tang Chen seized the time and stepped on the thick layer of ice with his ice claws. He took big strides and sprinted.
In just a few breaths, he had already rushed to the edge of the cliff and jumped!
He jumped into the air and flew across the cliff, forming a smooth parabola.
Everyone clenched their fists and stared at the jump.
Tang Chen flew toward the opposite cliff and landed on the edge of the ice cliff, but he was still a little bit away from the ice.
Immediately after, Tang Chen stretched out his right hand and dug up with the ice axe.
The pickaxe's tip had just reached the edge of the ice cliff.
His entire body hung on the ice cliff.
Everyone saw Tang Chen sprinting and jumping with astonishing explosive power, hooking onto the edge of the cliff opposite at the critical moment.
He knew that Tang Chen had succeeded!
Tang Chen did not hesitate and climbed up with all his might.
With the help of the ice axe, he successfully climbed up the cliff. The snow slope behind him was no longer challenging for him.
Tang Chen continued to run on his ice claws while setting up the safety rope.
It didn't take long for them to reach three-quarters of the height of the snowy slope.
This was the highest point they had climbed the last time. It was also from here that the entire slope was above 70 degrees.
It was almost vertical!
Facing this nearly vertical rock wall, Tang Chen once again chose to climb the snow rock with his bare hands!
This seemingly flat rock wall slope was actually filled with many small uneven craters.
Tang Chen put the ice axe back into his backpack and took off his warm gloves.
Tang Chen breathed hot air into his hands and rubbed his palms.
Ten fingers crossed together and stretched forward.
Kakaka...
The joints of his fingers cracked.
After stretching his palms and wrists, Tang Chen began to climb.
He used the two fingers of his left hand to dig into the slightly sunken pit, and his right foot stepped on a protruding stone tip.
It was like a gecko crawling on the wall.
Then, his four limbs coordinated with each other and climbed up one after the other.
The craters on the rock wall were small and shallow.
Tang Chen was unable to use his five fingers to climb, and could only use two to three fingers.
In extreme cases, he could only use his little finger to borrow strength.
This was a great test of one's finger strength.
Ordinary climbers would use a special buckle or a mountain pick to dig deeper into the pit.
However, this was a waste of time. Tang Chen only relied on his five fingers to climb.
Tang Chen's climbing speed was extremely smooth, without a trace of stagnation or stagnation.
It was like walking on flat ground.
Leng Feng stood at the bottom of the slope and saw Tang Chen swimming on the rock wall with incredible climbing skills.
It looked like a skilled gecko crawling on the flat rock wall.
Leng Feng was stunned.
Although they had undergone a lot of rock climbing training in the Snow Wolf Special Forces, they were still able to climb.
However, he had never climbed such a flat rock wall before, whether it was indoors or outdoors.
More importantly, could the small pits on the rock wall really be used as a pivot?
Leng Feng was confused.
He felt that his rock climbing training paled in comparison to Tang Chen's.
He was extremely shocked.
How was this still a human? This was a gecko!
When Zheng Yuan saw Tang Chen's superb rock climbing skills, he was in a bad mood.
To think that he always bragged about how strong the snow wolves he brought out were.
The reluctant Versailles said that it was only presentable.
Compared to Tang Chen's rock climbing, it was a huge loss of face.
Because the snow wolves were stationed in the snowy mountain area of the plateau, snow climbing was the most basic training.
Therefore, in the event of rock climbing, the snow wolf was also the best in the five military regions.
He had won the first prize in countless military competitions.
However, when he saw Tang Chen climbing.
The flat surface of the rock wall that was almost impossible to start with.
That smooth climbing motion was comparable to a gecko.
Zheng Yuan couldn't stay calm anymore.
Fortunately, Tang Chen, this treasure, had not been dug out. Otherwise, his old face would have been slapped.
He would probably be laughed at in his circle of teachers.
"Elder Zheng, you're still bragging about how invincible Snow Wolf Rock Climbing is every day?"
"Aren't you ashamed to compare yourself to Tang Chen in rock climbing?”
If not for his thick skin, Zheng Yuan's face would have turned red.
He pretended to be calm and continued to watch the live broadcast, thinking about how to secretly learn Tang Chen's climbing skills.
As he was free-climbing, he didn't waste any time doing auxiliary work.
Tang Chen completed the almost 90-degree rock climb as fast as he could.
As his right hand reached the top of the slope, he pulled hard and stood at the top.
The entire journey took only 14 minutes, once again breaking the historical record for climbing the snowy slope of the North Hollow.
Qu Dazhou gasped.
He had never seen anyone play like this in his life.
Perhaps only Tang Chen could break this record.
If it was during the May window, it would probably be faster!
Tang Chen called out to his comrades through the wireless headset.
"All of them."
"Set up the safety rope!"
"Prepare to climb!"
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed!
Soon, the team members stabilized the safety rope below.
Tang Chen secured the other end of the slope and pulled the safety rope tightly to prevent any accidents.
So the team members tied the sliding buckle to the rope one by one, held the rope tightly with both hands, and began to climb.
The twelve figures climbed up the slope smoothly.
As expected.
With the safety rope set up in advance, the speed and safety of the team members climbing were greatly improved.
In less than an hour, the twelve members relied on the safety rope set up by Tang Chen and successfully climbed to the top of the slope.
Apart from Qu Dazhou, who was feeling a little unwell, the other members were more energetic than ever.
Because they had crossed the snowy slope, they only needed to climb up the ridge of Mount Qomolangma for less than two kilometers.
They would reach the second step at an altitude of 8700 meters. That was where the expedition team was waiting for rescue.
At this moment, on the second step of Mount Qomolangma.
The ten surviving members who were waiting for rescue were huddled together against the rock wall.
Ever since the snowstorm, they had not eaten or drunk for more than ten hours.
All the supplies were stored at Point No. 5 about a hundred meters below, but they were swept away by the sudden snowstorm.
At the same time, the blizzard also led to the disappearance of the four scientific expedition members stationed at Point 5.
Two members of the expedition team who were climbing the second step were unfortunately killed and fell into the abyss of Mount Qomolangma.
They had suffered heavy losses, and the remaining 10 members could only rely on chewing ice shards to replenish their water and prolong their lives.
They lacked oxygen, their lips were dry, their faces were pale, and they looked extremely weak.
One of the team members looked at his multi-function watch.
Altitude: 8680 meters
Temperatures: -35 ° C
Wind Speed: 32.1m/s
[O2 content: 3.9%]
As the sky gradually darkened, the environment on the second step became worse.
They were running out of food, water, and oxygen.
One of the team members opened his eyes weakly and raised his hand to pat the face of the team member beside him.
"Hey... Can't... Sleep... Quickly wake up…"
If he fell asleep in such extreme weather, he would probably never wake up again.
The loss of body temperature and oxygen would cause a person to gradually die in a warm dream.
The team member who was woken up by the slap opened his eyes in a daze. He seemed to see a little light on the cliff of Mount everest.
The red and yellow lights were particularly eye-catching, as if someone was waving a signal light stick.
He thought he was hallucinating and looked over again.
It was not an illusion.
Instead, it was a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms who were trying their best to wave signal sticks to send light signals to them!
Hope of rescue!
It lit up again!
