Sleepless Mountain (22)

Or perhaps I should say The original location of C2. Because when we arrived at the C2 position, There was nothing here but a vast expanse of white... Looking up at the slope where C3 should have been, It was also a sea of white. Not a single trace of human presence. Seeing this, We could already guess the fate that befell the first team. The Sino-Japanese joint expedition team, originally scheduled to stay overnight at C3, Likely encountered a massive avalanche in the dead of night. In a single night, 17 people, without even a chance to resist in their sleep, Met such a sudden disaster and were wiped out. All buried beneath this heavy snow, Who knows if they will ever see the light of day again. Seeing this scene, the four of us were all bewildered. This joint expedition team had nearly ten experts who had climbed peaks over 8000 meters. Why did they choose to build C3 and C2 on such a dangerously high-risk slope for avalanches? Because no matter how skilled the mountaineer, If attacked by a sudden avalanche in their sleep, There is absolutely no chance of survival. Before they could even display any survival skills, They were engulfed by the rolling white snow, And in a state of immobility, Slowly awaited death to creep closer. Allowing the despair welling up in their hearts to slowly consume them, Listening to their heartbeats gradually slow down, Their blood slowly turning cold, And then suffocating to death in the snow.
