Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 221 - 207: Streamer, Your Background Is Too Fake

Although the team leader and other members were very surprised by the arm strength Wang Ye displayed.

But as it was already nearing three in the afternoon, the leader, after a brief preparation, set off immediately.

The afternoon climate is extremely unpredictable, difficult to forecast accurately, the longer the delay, the greater the danger.

Ah Gui, who was rescued, consistently followed behind Wang Ye, occasionally coughing.

After experiencing a life-or-death crisis, Ah Gui evidently valued his life more. When encountering steep sections, he almost constantly clutched tightly onto the safety rope connected to Wang Ye.

Approximately 3:23 in the afternoon.

They finally reached the camp at an elevation of around 6000 meters.

This place is called CAMP1, also known as the advanced camp.

For tourists, the 5200-meter base camp is already the end point.

But for climbers, the advanced camp is the starting point.

According to the guide, the altitude of the advanced camp on Mount Everest is also uncertain. Within a nearly one-kilometer stretch, camps can be set up sequentially according to the different conditions of the teams, with an altitude difference of up to 200 meters among different camps.

The Everest Base Camp at 5200 meters is the highest point that vehicles can reach, while the advanced camp at 6000 meters is the highest that yaks can reach, also the physiological limit for them.

At the advanced camp, the difficulty of the challenges will gradually increase, the climate will become more variable and unpredictable, prone to disasters such as avalanches, icefalls, snow walls, even experienced Everest climbers can fall here.

Upon arriving at the advanced camp, everyone immediately dove into the tent, set up the boiler, and rested.

Despite wearing thick winter clothing, they could still sense that as the altitude increased, the surrounding environmental temperature dropped steadily.

While the approximate 0 degrees Celsius at the base camp was barely bearable, the -10 degrees Celsius at the advanced camp was enough to make people feel somewhat overwhelmed. Just breathing for a moment in the ravaging cold wind made the nasal cavity, trachea, and lungs ache intensely.

Additionally, it's said the atmospheric oxygen content at Everest Base Camp's 5200 meters altitude is about 50% of mainland China's, whereas at the advanced camp's 6000 meters altitude it's about 38%, so most people feel obvious breathing difficulties and hypoxia upon arrival.

Thus everyone's first reaction upon arriving at the camp is to dive into the tent to rest and get warm, however Wang Ye tossed his climbing pack into the tent and alone went outside to appreciate the scenery surrounding the forward camp.

Seeing Wang Ye's actions, all the other team members were extremely surprised. Even the Sherpa leader, accustomed to activities on Mount Everest, almost collapsed, yet Wang Ye was completely unaffected?

At this moment, Ah Gui emerged from the tent, came to Wang Ye, and said gratefully, "Thank you so much earlier, if it weren't for you holding me in time, I wouldn't know how badly I'd fall..."

"As long as you're physically okay." Wang Ye shook his head.

After hesitating for a moment, Ah Gui continued to ask, "According to Manager Li's instructions, after arriving at the forward camp we're supposed to start live streaming, what's your plan?"

"Live streaming?" Wang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is there internet on Everest?"

Ah Gui laughed, "Of course, in 2020, China Mobile partnered with Huawei to successfully build the world's highest 5G base station at 6500 meters on Mount Everest, doing an 8k live stream on Everest is no problem, but our cellphone and camera battery is limited, so we can only occasionally stream for a few hours."

"Amazing." Wang Ye sincerely admired. Building a 5G base station at 6500 meters, only Huawei, a construction maniac, could manage such a feat.

Wang Ye rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "There are about 4 days worth of exercises coming up, let's do the streaming on the day after the exercises and before heading to CAMP2, to save some battery for the equipment."

"No problem, I'll discuss it with the other members."

After speaking, Ah Gui immediately returned to the tent.

Wang Ye slowly removed his hood and windproof goggles, sat cross-legged on the glacier, ready to absorb the radiation from the fixed star here, while practicing the Innate Skill.

In the following days, frostbite gradually appeared on the team members' faces, their figures became increasingly thin, their physical conditions noticeably worsened. One member even developed symptoms of stress-induced gastrointestinal disease on the second day of exercises, unable to eat any food, relying only on sugar water drinks for survival.

Other members' health issues gradually surfaced too, especially Ah Gui, whose cough worsened, hinting at becoming severe pulmonary edema.

Only when faced with danger can one truly demonstrate the strength or weakness of personal abilities.

If during exercises at Everest Base Camp other team members could barely maintain normal physical function, since arriving at C1 Camp, they've completely fallen into a negative state; the extremely thin oxygen keeps them in a constant state of breathlessness, while the bone-chilling winds and low pressure make them tremble uncontrollably within their sleeping bags inside the tents, with a constant stabbing pain emerging and reemerging in their heads.
