The altitude of the "Forward Camp" where Jia Long and the others are located is 5,500 meters.

When we arrived here, everyone felt a huge difference from before.

First of all, it is naturally altitude sickness caused by hypoxia. Not only Jia Long feels uncomfortable, but Zhu Ying and the others also report that they are feeling a little uncomfortable.

Humans are not animals that evolved and reproduced in this environment, so even professionals cannot get used to high altitudes no matter how many mountains they climb.

Seeing that others were not very comfortable with this high altitude, Jia Long felt a little better, after all, she was not much different from others.

But some people are different, that is, the pack workers who have lived at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters for many years.

While Jia Long and other members of the mountaineering team were resting, the pack workers still did not rest.

They are used to high altitudes, and although they have never mastered the superb mountaineering skills of the mountaineering team members, they can still work hard at such a high altitude because of their physical advantages.

After simply setting up an ordinary tent, they took out iron shovels, dug up gravel and soil from the surrounding area to help strengthen the tent.

Don’t underestimate the mountain wind at 5,500 meters. Sometimes it blows violently and can bring people away the tent, so it is very necessary to strengthen it.

"I envy their physique, but this is what our ancestors live in such a harsh environment for generations, and we can't compare."

Jia Long demonstrated the use of basic tools, which made several teammates who had worked with her very satisfied.

At this time, the few people held the cups, sniffed and looked at the pack workers and started their work.

The white young men who came to the camp were also working together. They said they were preparing for the future, so they also started working here so that the mountaineering team members would not interfere.

"Give it, apple."

Zhu Ying handed over a red apple that had been peeled, and then took out another one to peel it.

"And apples are there? Wow, thank you. Wow... so sweet."

When Jia Long saw the fruit that he hadn't seen for many days, he was so greedy that he was so greedy that he quickly brought it over and gnawed it like a little mouse.

"Actually, there is nothing to envy. Jia Long, haven't you noticed? Each of us is quickly adapting to high altitudes now. This is because our bodies have been working hard to create red blood cells to transport more oxygen in order to deal with hypoxia environments for so many days. Red blood cells are the winning magic weapon to fight the hypoxia environment. I think, today, everyone can adapt to such a high altitude."

Zhu Ying told me some knowledge.

"So that's it. Aowoo, claoke."

Jia Long cannot say that he does not know this knowledge. He just put it in reality and does not combine knowledge with reality in accordance with local conditions.

This advance camp will become an important place for their climb this time, or it is not wrong to have a future life supply line, so the things in the base will be reinforced for a long time.

For example, when they set up the camp, they buried a very deep rope with iron shovels, and then they picked large stones on the ground and paved them flat, so that they would not easily collapse or be flooded by snow.

In addition, a thin layer of snow around the camp was also cleaned up by everyone.

They also guided the streams melting in the surrounding ice and snow, and turned one to the center of the camp, so that it would be much easier to get water.

"Jia Long, go get some water to boil. Their big men must drink water after they finish their work."

"Um."

Jia Long obediently threw the apple core into the trash can, took the small iron can, and braved the surrounding snowy weather with the bitter cold wind and headed towards the stream in the middle of the camp.

The drone also followed her all the way.

Gurgling...

The small iron bucket was placed in the stream that was not deep, and it took a long time to fill up a part of it in bubbles.

"It's so cold. The temperature is probably close to zero now. It's unimaginable how cold it will be at night."

"This stream is our life-saving stream. Generally, when it comes to a mountainous environment, it is best to have such natural streams around it. If there is really no, you can only drink it with snow-soluble water."

"You should know that in an alpine environment of more than 5,000 meters, the water consumed by a person's breathing may cause 5,000 milliliters of water per day, that is, five liters of water loss, which does not include the loss of exercise. Therefore, in such a high environment, no matter how much water you drink, it is not an exaggeration. However, in fact, most climbers cannot drink so much water, so their lips and even their skin are dry until they crack, which becomes a very common situation."

Jia Long took the water and returned to the camp.

Putting the kettle on the gas stove where the water is boiling, she took out two chocolates from her pocket and handed them to Zhu Ying. She tore the other one and stuffed it into her mouth and ate happily.

"Wow, I just finished eating apples and then ate chocolate. Menglonglong, you foodie."

"Are you so greedy? And you don't have to worry about getting fat again when you eat chocolate."

"Overage, it makes us envious, right? Wait, my sister will go buy chocolates later, and she will buy something better than you."

Seeing that Jia Long's mouth didn't stop much, the audience started to tease her one by one.

The girl leaned on the chair, pressing the long chocolate fingers against the tail, and stuffed the front end into her mouth, like a little mouse eating something. After a few bites, the chocolate was eaten by her mouth.

She held the whole chocolate in her mouth. While watching the barrage, she bulged her cheeks and chewed it, looking very cute.

"Um, um, um, um..."

With a gurgle, she swallowed the chocolate bar in her mouth and spoke in words that were still a little vague.

"Haha, don't worry about getting fat for me. The energy consumption in the mountains is very, very large, and it is much larger than that in the forests at low altitudes. So our mountaineering team is working hard to supplement sugar and carbohydrate foods. High-energy foods like chocolate are naturally more and better. At least during the few days of climbing, I will definitely not be able to gain weight. On the contrary, I will even lose weight for you to see."

Jia Long is right. The energy consumption of human body in the mountain environment is too high, just like water. If you have that condition, eating from morning to night is the most reasonable one. But the problem is that there is no supplies or time to eat it all the time, so most climbers often lose a lot of weight within a few days.

After a while of rest, the mountaineering team started to get busy again.

The newcomer Jia Long is responsible for starting a move, such as boiling water, finding tools, handing over tools, etc., and he is not too idle.

But just as the sky gradually darkened a little, the five white young men offered to say goodbye.

"You are leaving now? It's almost dark when you walk down the mountain. Why not stay here today? You can deal with it for one night in the big tent."

Captain Xiao left them a word, but I think he knew that with the current level of advancing to the camp, it would be difficult to arrange for five more people.

"No need, I hope you have good luck. Then next time we come, we will follow your good luck footprints and successfully reach the top."

Several white guys waved their hands to refuse, but before leaving, they did not forget to say hello to Jia Long, the "little cat".

"Little cat, we will look for your live broadcast when we go back. Although we don't understand Long Xiawen, we will study hard. Haha, I hope we will have the opportunity to have dinner together in the future. Bye."

The few people changed their previous appearance of teasing Jia Long, and gave a very gentlemanly gift, and then gradually drifted away.

"Haha, a group of mountaineering rookies, I can already see that another international topical team will appear in the next few years."

Captain Xiao smiled and shook his head.

In the mountaineering industry, there is no saying that "people who walk by are enemies", because no matter how powerful a climber is, he may face life and death. When the risk is so high, everyone thinks about blessings, not a run.

Of course, at the peak, then will be the time when human nature is most exposed, but it is not yet here.

"Okay, let's have dinner and just take a break after eating. It's the sixth day of today. The time process that our team originally set with Dongyu was successful in reaching the top within fifteen days... There is not much time, so we have to set a route and start climbing up tomorrow."

After Captain Xiao said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Jia Long next to the farewell team.

Actually, it is not wrong. This time the mountaineering team can be completed and approved, thanks to the relationship behind Jia Long. So now that they think about it, they hung up the satellite phone and went out, and the leaders directly said that Jia Long would come on.

"This beef is delicious. Is it even there beef?"

During dinner, Jia Long had been trekking for so many days, and the most delicious and nutritious meal almost made her swallow her tongue into her stomach.

"666, Xiao Menglong, can you give me some food?"

"Wow, the anchor has become swelling and he actually eats such delicious food."

"Is this still on a mountain of more than 5,000 meters? The food is so good."

"I am envious, jealous and hateful. Brother, I am eating instant noodles, woo."

The audience was surprised by the sumptuous dinner of Jia Long and others.

After all, the camp is 5,500 meters above sea level. In such a rarely-people place, it shouldn’t be a hard work. Even food and drink are difficult to solve? How can it be so comfortable?

"Haha, you don't understand this. This forward camp is a very important supply base for our future. The supplies we brought by more than 20 camels were not a joke. Now that the things are removed, of course we are let go of food."

What Jia Long didn't say is that climbing requires a lot of physical fitness, so of course you have to eat well.

What's more, if you die tomorrow, today's dinner will be a "farewell meal". Even if it's not a farewell meal, it can be said that to celebrate the official climb tomorrow, how can you not eat it well...

After eating and drinking, the sky finally turned completely dark.

Jia Long walked outside his tent wearing a hat and gloves.

The drone slowly followed in a buzzing sound.

"It's so cold. Now the sun is setting. The temperature is about minus five or six degrees below zero. It will be even colder later. My weather is so cold that my fingers are numb. I obviously wear gloves."

She quickly got into the tent.
Chapter completed!
