The altitude is 8000 meters.
Any movement will make people feel difficult.
The air is thin, with less than a third of normal levels of oxygen.
Chen Mu wasn't sure if there was life here that could survive for a long time, but the whispers he heard in his ears didn't seem to be auditory hallucinations.
"Save me, save me, save me..."
It should be a man's voice, which has continued without stopping.
He wasn't sure if he was the only one who could hear the sound, it just felt like it was, because the others didn't notice it at all.
Over there, three guides and a few assistants were busy setting up the camp, and had no time to care about the rest.
Especially Zaher continued to climb up alone, preparing for tomorrow's summit.
Although Lin Yuanchun, Zhang Jiahui, and Manny were all tired, they picked up the camera and took pictures of the surroundings.
I have reached such a height, I am really sorry for this experience if I don’t shoot anything.
Chen Mu turned his head and looked at the ice crevice again.
Ice crevasses like this can be seen everywhere on the mountain. If you encounter them, try to avoid them as much as possible. No one knows what is underneath, but only knows that it will be difficult to come back up if you fall.
Chen Mu tried to take a few steps back, but the murmur seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and when he walked forward again, it came out from under the ice crack again.
Just thinking about whether other people really couldn't hear the murmur, Zhang Jiahui walked over holding the camera, and said with a smile: "Brother, what are you looking at, come on, say a few words to the camera, we will climb to the top tomorrow , how do you feel?"
Chen Mu glanced at Zhang Jiahui, he was sure that Zhang Jiahui couldn't hear the murmur.
Being caught in front of the camera, Chen Mu could only say: "Of course I'm excited to reach the top, I can't wait."
"Hey, what you said...why are you so unenthusiastic."
Zhang Jiahui shook his head, turned the camera back to his face, and said, "Did you see this man, a monster, already at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and he didn't need to inhale oxygen at all, what a fool..."
Chen Mu ignored Zhang Jiahui, who kept staring at the camera, carefully observed the surroundings, and used his limited climbing knowledge to find a few places where pitons could be installed, so that he could go down to the ice crevasse at night to find out.
After dinner, everyone went to sleep in their tents.
Tomorrow is the most critical moment for reaching the summit, and they have to go through the biggest difficulty of this route - the "bottleneck".
At night, the wind is particularly strong.
The strong wind brought up the surrounding snow debris, which was a bit overwhelming.
In the tent, Zhang Jiahui fell asleep snoringly as soon as he got into his sleeping bag.
Chen Mu waited quietly, and when there was no more sound, he ordered a little vitality for himself, and then got out of the tent.
The strong wind gave him the best cover, and under the effect of his vitality, he seemed to have the blessing of "floating on water", and others would not notice his movement at all.
In the past few days, Chen Mu, a scheming boy, has been paying attention to the storage locations of various tools, so he quickly found tools such as ropes, pitons, mechanical plugs, and figure-of-eight locks, and then quietly walked towards the ice crevasse.
First install two pitons to find a support point for himself. Chen Mu tied the rope and checked the firmness of the pitons again.
These two pitons are very important, they are the key to his going down and coming up, and they cannot be ignored at all.
After the inspection, he controlled the horoscope and began to slowly fall under the ice crevasse.
"Save me, save me, save me..."
After entering the ice crevasse, the sound of the wind was blocked out, and the murmur below suddenly became louder.
Chen Mu couldn't figure out the source of the whispering sound at all, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with the whispering sound, and why only he could hear it.
But he thought about it, if he hadn't been guided by a map, even if other people heard the murmur, they wouldn't have the guts to come down, they would just think it was caused by lack of oxygen or other reasons at an altitude of 8,000 meters auditory hallucinations.
As it fell bit by bit, the cracks in the ice seemed to be very deep, and the bottom was like a deep nine secluded world, with no end in sight.
Chen Mu wore a flashlight on his head, so he could clearly see the situation around him.
After passing through a section of ice, he entered the rock formation.
The black rock mass is extremely flat, and I don't know whether it is natural or artificial, it is like cutting with a knife anyway.
After falling for a while, the rope was not long enough, so he had to take out a hammer and pitons, nailed two more support points on the rock wall, and continued to change ropes to descend.
Chen Mu was really nervous at this moment. If someone pulled up the upper part of the rope, he would probably be trapped at the bottom and never go back.
He kept staring down, not knowing where the ice crevasse would lead to, let alone whether the whispering below would be good or bad for him.
Everything is unknown, which makes him feel uncertain.
The only thing that can make him persevere is his belief in the map in his heart.
The map will not cheat him as a host, there must be great benefits for him to come here.
That "Inheritance of Luck" was the sole purpose of his coming here.
Another section of rope was changed before finally reaching the bottom.
The murmur grew louder.
Chen Mu found that he was in a huge underground cave, and there was some faint light around, which came from a small river.
Let's call it an underground river, because this river flows out of the cracks in the rocks, and then winds and turns, and it doesn't know where it flows.
The river water is strange, and for some reason, it can emit light.
Minerals
or something else...
Chen Mu looked around the cave. The cave was at least several stories high, and it was unknown how deep. Anyway, there were strange and terrifying stones everywhere.
Chen Mu identified it, and the murmuring sound came from the direction of the underground river, so he hung a fluorescent strip on his rope, and walked in the direction of the underground river.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Mu finally reached the end of the underground river.
Here, there is actually an underground lake.
All the river water has converged here, emitting a slightly blue light, reflecting the surrounding rock walls with blue light, which is extremely gorgeous.
However, Chen Mu was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the cave at this time, his mind was completely overwhelmed by the scene in the lake.
On one side of the lake, there was a naked male corpse.
His lower body is completely immersed in the lake water, while his upper body is half-sitting on the lake water, leaning against the rock wall.
Why do you say he is a male corpse
Because there was a wooden spear stuck between his eyebrows, piercing through his entire head, obviously he couldn't die anymore.
But this is not what shocked Chen Mu. What surprised Chen Mu was that the male corpse was so huge that it was at least five or six normal people tall. Being in the lake was like sitting in a pool.
Is this human
Chen Mu didn't know, and couldn't tell.
Normal humans absolutely do not have such a terrifying body.
However, the male corpse is obviously a humanoid creature. All the things that a human being should have are on him, but they are magnified many times.
So, this is more like a legendary giant.
Chen Mu was in a daze for a while, feeling that his cognition had been completely refreshed, and his world view had also been greatly impacted... What the hell is this shit
Perhaps because he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a while, Chen Mu couldn't help coughing dryly, which caused a huge echo in the silent cave, and the movement was astonishing.
"Save me, save me, save me..."
"Come closer to you..."
"Come… "
The murmuring sound seemed to have discovered Chen Mu's existence, and suddenly became louder, and there was a change.
Chen Mu's heart beat violently, and he felt a chill running down his back, which made him shiver uncontrollably.
Because, he suddenly discovered that the direction of the whispering sound actually came from that "giant corpse".
At the same time, the giant's body suddenly swelled up, and something seemed to be wriggling violently inside, trying to get out.
Then, on the chest of the giant's corpse, a strange silver-white pattern flashed, as if a swastika imprint appeared, turning rapidly.
What the hell
Chen Mu almost wanted to run away, but before he could really move, a green light appeared on the wooden spear on the eyebrows of the giant's corpse.
Then, I saw dense vines growing on the spear body at a speed visible to the naked eye, hanging down the lake water, and quickly growing flowers like white lotuses, blooming rapidly, and then withering rapidly.
As the lotus grew and withered, the giant's corpse shrank rapidly, and the silver-white anti-swastika immediately disappeared, returning to normal again.
Chen Mu suddenly realized that the wooden spear seemed to be suppressing the giant's corpse. If there was no wooden spear, the giant's corpse would not necessarily be deceitful in a few minutes.
The panic in his heart calmed down a little, and Chen Mu couldn't help but think more: What is this giant corpse? Why are you here? How long has it been "dead"? Why doesn't it look like it's "dead"
This is definitely the most fantastical thing that Chen Mu has ever encountered in his life. The most imaginative writers on the Internet probably can't think of such a plot.
There is actually such a giant corpse hidden in the mountains of K2. If it gets out, it will definitely be a big event that can change the world.
"Come on, come closer, save me..."
Because of the suppression of the wooden spear, the giant's corpse returned to normal, and its whispering voice also became low, revealing weakness.
Chen Mu also wanted to observe the giant's corpse up close, so he obediently took a few steps forward.
What he regretted most at this time was that he didn't bring any photographic tools in his hand, otherwise he really wanted to record the scene in front of him.
"Yeah, come closer, come closer..."
The whisper seemed very happy, and continued to call Chen Mu.
Chen Mu has always been very vigilant and cautious. After walking a few steps cautiously, he suddenly found a few characters-like objects on the ground, which made him stop uncontrollably.
The whisper suddenly became urgent, and said in a more seductive tone: "Come closer, save me, I will give you everything you want, come closer..."
Chen Mu lowered his head and looked at the characters carved on the ground. They looked like runes, and they circled the underground lake in a large circle.
Although Chen Mu couldn't understand the meaning of these characters, after thinking about it, he suddenly took a few steps back, trying to keep himself away from the range of these characters.
"No, come closer, come closer..."
The murmur became more intense again, and Chen Mu saw that the giant's corpse was inflated again, and the swastika on his chest flickered.
However, the suppression of the wooden spear appeared again—
After another round of vines growing and lotuses blooming—
The giant's corpse shrank again, and the anti-swastika mark quickly disappeared.
