But when he looked again, Lu Yu disappeared in the snow...
In the hospital, I will update it the day after tomorrow.
Chapter 178 The terrifying ice crack, go to the camp! (Please subscribe

The thick snow fog filled the camera.
The live broadcast room was white, with almost zero visibility, and it was impossible to tell which was which.
No one knew what happened.
It was an unexpected scene. Because it happened suddenly, it took a long time for the audience to react:
"???"
"Where is Yu Shen?"
"Fuck, what's going on?"
"The ultimate secret·Snow Shield Technique!?"
"Upstairs 666666!"
"Is the anchor going to be in trouble?"
...
When the barrage came overwhelming, a beam of yellow light suddenly penetrated the snow fog and kept shaking in the picture.
It should be Lu Yu's headlamp.
At this moment, the drone's camera was aimed at the floating snow on the glacier. The looming knot had been completely tightened and stuck on the newly formed ice buds on the ice layer, making a squeaking sound from time to time.
The live broadcast screen followed the rope and searched all the way down.
Finally, the audience finally found Lu Yu in an ice crack!
Then, the rough panting sound spread throughout the live broadcast room at the first time!
"Hu——!"
Everyone looked closely and found that Lu Yu was hanging on the cliff of the crack.
The climbing rope around his waist was shaking and holding him tightly.
The ice crack under his feet was pitch black.
The beam of the headlamp could not reach the end at all. At about 20 meters, it was completely swallowed by the darkness.
It was initially estimated that the depth here was at least 20 meters.
It was even worse.
At this time, a large piece of broken ice buds suddenly rolled down from above to the abyss.
After three or five seconds, a slight echo was heard, which made people feel cold!
"Fuck, so deep?!"
"It must be several hundred meters deep, right?"
"My own mother can't recognize it, be careful, anchor!"
"Fortunately, I was pulled by a rope, otherwise I would be dead!"
"Yu Shenqi is a step ahead!"
"By the way, anchor, this trick is quite useful!"
At the edge of the ice cliff, Lu Yu adjusted his position, exhaled white air, and smiled: "In places like this, ice cracks are very common. Even if you are careful, it is very easy to slip."
"The only way to avoid falling into ice cracks is to cleverly use all the equipment you can use like me to avoid danger."
"Believe me, no matter how experienced you are, the illusion of the ice tower forest will play you around. Because the uncertainty is too great. The ice layer under your feet looks thick and solid, but in fact, the ice bed is constantly changing. Instead of praying that you will survive, it is better to prepare in advance."
As he said, Lu Yu decisively pulled out the ice pick from his waist, raised his hand and swung it vigorously!
Bang!
The sharp axe blade embedded in the ice layer on the edge of the cliff
Grasping the climbing rope around his waist, he pulled himself up and climbed up easily.
After sitting on the snow for a while, Lu Yu took out the crampons and put them on his hiking shoes just in case.
"Crampons are essential equipment for high-altitude mountaineering."
"This thing looks like a claw, yes, it is a claw. With this thing, you can stand firmly on the slippery ice or snow. If you encounter an ice crack again, you can save a lot of effort with an ice pick, because it is difficult for hiking shoes to grab the ice wall."
After putting on the equipment, Lu Yu packed up his backpack and set off again.
This ice crack hidden under the snow is more than 20 meters long.
In order to let the audience see it clearly, he controlled the drone and flew a circle in the ice crack.
As a result, it extended to about 100 meters, but the bottom of the valley could not be seen.
It is hard to imagine what the outcome would be if the climbing rope had not pulled Lu Yu just now.
Recalling the previous thrill, at this moment, the audience couldn't help but take a breath!
...
In the dark night.
Covered with stars, he walked forward against the wind.
The footprints behind him were blown away by the cold wind as soon as they were left.
The thick ice layer was covered by floating snow, which could easily submerge the instep.
After walking forward for a while, Lu Yu looked up and saw that the end of the ice tower forest was not far ahead.
As the snow was getting thicker and thicker, he pulled out a snow pole from the side of the backpack, then leaned forward, turned his toes outward, dragged the backpack, and continued to walk forward.
This is the snow mountain hiking method commonly used by Sherpas.
In the process of high-altitude mountaineering, this walking method can not only save physical strength, but also reduce the burden on the knees to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, it won’t take long for the knees to reach the load-bearing limit, making it difficult to walk.
About ten minutes later, the ice tower forest disappeared.
The terrain of the snow mountain suddenly became steep.
At the end of the sight, under the indigo-colored gravel on the ridge, there was a flat snow field.
"Time: 9:05"
"Altitude: 5810 meters"
"Temperature: -5 degrees Celsius"
"Wind speed: 9 meters per second"
After looking at the climbing watch, Lu Yu took two breaths and walked towards the transition camp.
From here, it is 6500 meters.
The real danger is coming soon.
"It will be 6000 meters soon. The planned forward camp and the North Col ice wall are just ahead."
After speaking, the drone flew to a high place and looked down at the surroundings.
In the vast wind and snow, a huge glacier can be vaguely seen.
The glacier is sharp and straight like a knife or an axe.
This is the famous North Col ice wall, and it is also the first major obstacle to the summit of the north slope.
After crossing the glacier, it is the North Col camp at an altitude of 7,208 meters.
According to Lu Yu's plan, he needs to rest for a while at 6,500 meters, replenish some energy, change ice and snow equipment in advance, and face this majestic glacier in the best condition.
"Brothers, do you see that glacier?"
Standing at 5800 meters, Lu Yu pointed to the North Col Ice Wall and said slowly: "This is the North Col Ice Wall, and it is also the first difficulty for me to climb to the summit. I have to climb to 6500 meters first and rest there for half an hour."
"Then, climb the North Col Ice Wall from about 6640 meters. The North Col Ice Wall is the only way to climb Mount Everest from the north, and it is very dangerous. The slope of the ice wall is mostly above 50 degrees."
"When there is little snowfall, the ice layer will be very hard and difficult to climb."
"Climbing is not a problem when there is a lot of snowfall, but there is a risk of ice avalanches. In this season, the amount of snow is average. For safety reasons, I have to take a zigzag route at that time."
In the previous life, with the development of commercial mountaineering.
Every year during the climbing season, the climbing teams will coordinate and cooperate to set up route ropes on the North Col Ice Wall in advance, greatly reducing the actual climbing difficulty of mountaineering customers.
But now, the pure natural North Col ice wall shows the most primitive and most precipitous beauty, which is very shocking.
After staying in the transition camp for a while, Lu Yu left 5,800 meters and stepped into the ice field.
Along the ice bed, he slowly went up.
Because he wore crampons, this section of the road was not so difficult to walk, but the speed was a bit slow.
More than an hour later.
He turned over a blue boulder covered with floating snow.
At this time, the altitude on the mountaineering table finally stopped at 6,500 meters.
6,500 meters.
The temperature and oxygen content dropped suddenly.
The sour feeling when breathing became heavier and heavier.
The whole person was covered with frost from head to toe.
Looking up, the visibility was getting lower and lower.
The wind was surprisingly strong.
