Chapter 425: Reaching the Top


The morning sun seemed to be late, Zheng Xiujing opened her eyes and looked at Yang Mo in a daze, she was the last to get up, or was woken up by Yang Mo, she slept very deeply yesterday, but it was very warm in the sleeping bag and tent, and she slept well.

"Hmm-" She stretched her body in the sleeping bag, she didn't pay attention to relax her body last night, today is extremely sore, especially her legs, her body has become heavy, as if she is pressing something, she has personally experienced what it feels like for a healthy body to slowly move towards scrap, but this is not miserable, after climbing to the top today, she knows what it feels like to be scrapped.

"What time is it?"

Zheng Xiujing snorted.

"At half past seven in the morning, it's time to get ready to go."

"Hmm."

Zheng Xiujing snorted softly, closed her eyes and lay still, Yang Mo looked at her quietly, Xiujing was often like this when she was at home, that is, "slow down, slow down".

Slowed down, Zheng Xiujing opened her eyes, slowly moved out of her sleeping bag, the first thing she did was to pull her hair and smell it, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, and then lifted her collar and sniffed lightly, she was silent for a while, sighed, and said "Go out."

Yang Mo looked at her funny: "Uncomfortable?

” "I want to take a bath."

Zheng Xiujing has a sad face, the feeling of sweating but not being able to take a shower is really bad, she has never experienced such a thing since she was a child, as an idol she must always maintain her image, and as a girl, she will also pay attention to cleanliness.

"Bear with it and wash it tomorrow, Huai Ting!"

Yang Mo clenched his fist and raised his right arm to make a cheering gesture.

Zheng Xiujing slapped Yang Mo's arm listlessly: "No." ” "Get up, have breakfast."

Yang Mo smiled and rubbed her hair, and her already messy hair became even messier.

Zheng Xiujing sat in the tent for a while, thinking about whether she was going to change her clothes, Yang Mo shook her head and got out of the tent, the cold wind leaking in from outside suddenly made her tremble, and she quickly wrapped her coat tightly, and got out of the tent with two trembling times.

The team set off when they were ready, and today they had to climb to about the same height as yesterday, and then rest until midnight to set off to see the sunrise over Kilimanjaro, which was several times more difficult than yesterday, but yesterday's adaptation was able to alleviate some of the alpine symptoms.

No one spoke when climbing the mountain, it was always quiet, the accompanying locals generally did not speak, Zheng Xiujing also knew that she had to save her physical strength in front, and she still remembered the lesson of the third day, in this long mountaineering process, only the mountaineer's boots stepped on the mud and gravel, their trekking poles were inserted into the ground, and their breathing became rapid and heavy.

The first section is always the most relaxed, with the guide at the front controlling the speed and the constant speed being slow, which is a slow adaptation process that helps the climber adapt to the alpine environment.

Continuing to walk, even the experienced people felt struggling, Zheng Xiujing felt that her legs were sore, and finally she couldn't hold it and had to hold her knees to stop and rest, just take pictures or something, she didn't have that mind anymore.

Yang Mo half-squatted beside her and watched quietly, it was better to let her recover her strength at this time, he didn't want to say more nonsense, he continued to set off after resting for a while, walked again and stopped to rest, and finally walked to a place with a gentle slope, and everyone seemed to be relieved.

According to the guide, this is the last section of the gentle slope, and the road has become a little wider, just ignore the dry cold air, and thin oxygen, as if walking in the mountains, yes, you have to ignore the barren land.

There seemed to be someone approaching in front of them, and they had noticed a group of people in front of them, visible from afar, but not very clear, only that there were people in front of them, obviously climbers like them.

It's just that there seems to be something wrong with the people in front, the two teams are slowly approaching, and finally they meet on a flat ground, and the team going up the mountain leans towards the side of the road to make it convenient for the team going down.

The woman lying on the stretcher was inhaling oxygen, about sixty or seventy years old, her eyes were slightly narrowed like an old lady basking in the afternoon sun, she looked at the side of the road, smiled lightly at Zheng Xiujing, and passed by, followed by the accompanying team, an adult European and American man looked at the old man on the stretcher worriedly.

Zheng Xiujing stood stunned, the sound of the helicopter gradually became louder in her ears, she felt someone pat her shoulder, and when she turned her head, she saw Yang Mo's smile: "Come on, we are about to reach the top!"

” She was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "Hmm!

We will definitely make it to the top!

” The old lady who had no choice but to give up halfway did not make Zheng Xiujing depressed, it seemed to give her strength, she told herself that she must reach the top, she didn't want to go down the mountain like the old lady, although the old lady was smiling, but Zheng Xiujing felt her regret, seeing that the end was in front of her but had to give up, she didn't want to be like that!

For the rest of the journey, Zheng Xiujing became even more silent, she no longer had the energy to speak, she only cared about climbing hard, and every step was closer to the goal; She seems to remember her hard work when she first debuted, and every time she is filming, she wants to do it, and she will strive towards that goal until it is completed.

Yang Mo looked up at her back, no different from yesterday, her legs were still weak, but he guessed that she must have felt something.

At noon, everyone had a light lunch, rested for a while, there were still a few hours left, they would camp at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, when there should be more than a thousand meters left, and that more than a thousand meters was the final sprint.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the team finally arrived at the last camp, time was tight, everyone hurried to eat and rest, Zheng Xiujing even took out the tonic, she asked, this tonic can be drunk when climbing.

Yang Mo smiled with the tonic in his hand, watching her tear the tonic open, pursed her lips and drank it, like an old lady.

This behavior made Yang Mo feel complicated, Koreans drink tonic medicine like eating snacks, Yang Mo also takes tonic because of martial arts, but he prefers to eat the medicinal food he cooks.

"Is it good?"

Yang Mo held back a smile and looked at Zheng Xiujing, who was frowning.

Zheng Xiujing bared her teeth and said angrily: "Why don't you taste it yourself." ” "I'm doing well."

Yang Mo put the tonic in his backpack and left it alone, "Hurry up and take a break, we will set off at eleven o'clock tonight, we will reach the top." ” Zheng Xiujing glanced at him, didn't say much, and everyone began to rest.

The time was eleven o'clock in the evening, that is, the time when Yang Mo was preparing to go to bed, but now it had become the time for him to get up.

Everyone was quickly prepared, had a simple meal, and brought headlamps for easy lighting, and a dozen headlamps illuminated the road under their feet clearly, but the guide at the front was under more pressure, he needed to guide the way up the mountain at night.

In the last 1,000 meters, they will experience a severe cold of minus 20 or 30 degrees, a 5,500-meter climbing dividing line, a fatigue explosion accumulated over the past few days, and an even more dangerous road......

Not long after climbing the mountain, there was a stone wall in front of them, there was a crack in the middle of the stone wall, the gap was narrow but enough for one person to pass, next to the stone wall was a path wide for one person, although the gap was a little steep, but compared with the path, it was more reassuring, from the position where they stood, a huge stone pile up, the slope exceeded sixty degrees, and it became a ball when it rolled down; Below was the pitch black, as if waiting for food to fall into the mouth.

Everyone carefully climbed up the stone wall along the gap, and what awaited them was the same path as in front of the stone wall, and there was a steeper hillside.

The easiest thing to fall down in the night is that Yang Mo fell once, and Zheng Xiujing also fell twice, saying that it was okay, but she guessed that her legs were already green.

After 5,500 meters, it seems that breathing has become a sin, and everyone is trying to breathe, like the bellows of a blacksmith's shop, but the reality is that there is only so much oxygen.

Zheng Xiujing's head was a little dizzy, good and bad for a while, as if she could adapt to a bearable appearance, and her vain feet told her that she was about to be unable to crawl.

I really want to go down!

Yang Mo has been paying attention to Zheng Xiujing's state, and when he saw her body shaking, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and held a trekking pole with the other hand to stabilize his body.

Zheng Xiujing turned her head to look at him, squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm fine." ” "I know, I want to walk next to you, I'm about to reach the top."

Yang Mo smiled back.

Zheng Xiujing smiled silently, walked with her head down, her legs were sore, as if they were not her own, she tried to share her weight on her legs and trekking poles, but unconsciously, Yang Mo shared a lot.

"Ho ho," Zheng Xiujing stopped, leaning on Yang Mo and panting, still almost, but it seemed that he could walk, at this time the altitude was already five thousand six hundred and fifty meters, and there were less than one hundred meters left to climb the first peak, the Stella Peak at an altitude of 5,739 meters, where they would rest for a while and watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds.

Yang Mo looked at Zheng Xiujing, who was panting with her head down, worriedly, and took out oxygen from her backpack and gave it to her.

Zheng Xiujing looked at the oxygen cylinder, lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her hand and pushed it away: "I can still hold on!"

” She gripped her trekking poles hard and struggled to get to her feet, ready to go.

Yang Mo pondered for a moment, put the small can of oxygen cylinder on the side bag of the backpack, and began to climb up with one of Zheng Xiujing's arms; When the onlookers saw the two of them leaving, they all picked up their luggage and set off, this environment was a bit stressful for them, but it was not as big as the two.

There are less than 100 meters left, every step seems to be a knife mountain, Zheng Xiujing has to admit that she is still a little worse in mountaineering, she originally thought that it was enough to have enough physical strength, and she has adapted very well, but the reality tells her that it is still a lot worse.

Dawn was bound to go through the night, and after the last painful climb to the mountain, the group finally reached the Stella Peak.

Zheng Xiujing stood in front of the sign of Stella Peak and grinned, her eyes turned from dim to bright, and then her body collapsed, slumped on the snow, and laughed silently on the spot.

"Happy?"

Yang Mo looked at her and laughed along.

Zheng Xiujing nodded: "Happy, I finally climbed up!"
