Bai Song looked at the altitude function on his phone, 3480 meters.
In half an hour, Bai Song led Ren Xu and other people from the Tianhua City Public Security Bureau to climb to a height of about 200 meters.
The plateau climate is more difficult than most people imagine. The better the physical fitness of a person, the more oxygen he needs and the more likely he is to have altitude sickness. Bai Song obviously felt a little uncomfortable in his head, and he didn't know whether it was dizziness or nausea.
"No, we must take a break," Bai Song clearly felt that several people were feeling unwell.
The altitude here is close to that of Sazhou, the capital of the Zang region. It is really unbearable for people who have lived in the plains for a long time.
"Tank Bai, we really need to take a break." Some members of the Tianhua City team had already shown obvious signs of altitude sickness and simply did not have the strength to continue climbing the mountain.
"Let's take a rest. Altitude sickness is quite scary. We still have at least one hour to reach 3,700 meters above sea level. Anyone in the team who shows obvious signs of altitude sickness will be arranged to retreat." Bai Song also noticed something was wrong.
It was dark. Bai Song used a flashlight to carefully look at his team. He took a deep breath and looked a little solemn.
He understood his own business, and he himself also had obvious altitude sickness, but he never said anything. However, looking at the team he led, four or five people were in very bad condition.
Many people are already not used to climbing from an altitude of more than 1,000 meters to an altitude of 3,300 meters by car, and it is really exhausting to start climbing directly.
"These few people, help them back." Bai Song found that Ren Xu was also in a bad condition. "This is an order."
"Team Bai, the other teams haven't arranged to return, we..." Ren Xu saw Bai Song nodded at him: "I'm fine!"
"It's nothing. Altitude sickness varies from person to person and it's not something that can't be overcome." Bai Song expressed his objection.
At this time, the leader of the group, Liang Si, also spoke up, requiring each team to count the people with severe altitude sickness and support each other as they retreat.
After experiencing altitude sickness, you must avoid strenuous exercise. Climbing a mountain is definitely not allowed, but walking slowly down is still possible.
"Captain Bai, I'm not leaving," Ren Xu shook his head.
His coming here this time was actually questioned. He had successfully competed for the position of deputy captain of the Third Brigade of the Jiuhe District Criminal Investigation Detachment, but some people still felt that he participated in this event because of his acquaintance with Bai Song.
Bai Song knew that during the time Ren Xu served as the police chief on Sanmu Street, he had become very mature, and he had participated in a number of cases with Bai Song, so his vision had become very good.
But this is not enough, Ren Xu is eager to prove himself.
"My words are worthless, right?" Bai Song snorted, then forcibly arranged for these people to return, and issued a death order that those who were arranged to return must supervise each other. If anyone leaves the team without authorization, they will be disqualified from participating in this competition in accordance with the disciplinary regulations!
Bai Song's words were final. Given his current status, what he said would definitely be useful. If Ren Xu secretly left the team, Bai Song could really do so.
As a result, nearly half of the people began to return.
…
So far, the communication equipment has not been set up yet, and the few communication vehicles sent from outside can only complete communications within the range below 3,700 meters above sea level...
Of course, that being said, Bai Song already felt that the signal was very poor.
"Captain Bai, I see that you don't look well...how about..." Captain Wang from Tianhua City was a little worried.
"I know my limits." Bai Song looked calm.
…
We continued to climb, but we still did not receive any progress information. The more Bai Song climbed, the more tired he felt. The air became more and more turbid, and it seemed that he could not breathe any oxygen.
Gradually, Bai Song's forehead and temples began to throb with pain, and his lungs became increasingly stuffy and weak. He clearly felt that his limit was almost reached, and he had to breathe deeply through his mouth.
In fact, unless you breathe oxygen now, there is no way to relieve the heavy breathing.
"Captain Bai, you can't go on, go back." Captain Wang said.
Bai Song felt very powerless. He looked at everyone carefully and found that no one was in a good condition.
At this moment, he wanted to leave everything to the local people, but he said nothing: "Rest where you are, everyone."
People who have not experienced this state don’t understand. This is truly a feeling of weakness that arises from the most basic level of the body, and one is completely powerless.
The ground was a little wet, so Bai Song found a place covered with pine needles and lay down.
Bai Song knew that his clothes and coat would get wet soon and he would be forced to carry more weight, but he had no choice.
The adaptation time for altitude sickness is generally one to three days. No matter how good his physique is, he would have surrendered at this moment.
At this moment, all he wanted to do was sleep.
…
It's not just Bai Song's team that is like this. Although Director Liang's idea is good, the comrades really can't do what they say.
After more than two hours, only sixty or seventy people reached the 3,700-meter altitude zone.
Director Liang had a bad expression on his face, not because everyone failed to get up successfully, but because twenty or thirty people had already developed severe altitude sickness.
For something like altitude sickness, basically what is needed is rest, and those with serious symptoms need intravenous drips and oxygen. However, Director Liang did not consider this situation carefully, and he must take responsibility for it.
In this regard, Director Liang was absolutely an outsider. He also had no idea what it meant to suddenly send people from the plains to an altitude of over 3,300 meters to start climbing a mountain.
Fortunately, the road here is drivable, but the embarrassing thing is that all the ambulances originally prepared to rescue the trapped people were used to rescue these young policemen.
But fortunately, there are no major problems yet.
Director Liang felt a little regretful. Not every team member at an altitude of more than 3,700 meters had a satellite phone, and many of them were individual investors. There was no team at all, and it was impossible for them to form a group of several people as required.
Although he has first-rate command abilities, he is also very anxious at this moment.
At an altitude of 3,700 meters, there is not a line or a gathering area, but just a rough concept. Everyone will gather at the off-road vehicle. There are some off-roaders here, but even the off-road vehicles cannot be used as vehicles for transporting people at this time. Although the scene is not chaotic, it is somewhat out of control.
In Liang Si's heart, at this moment, he could only hope that these elites from all over the place could handle some things on their own.
At this time, Bai Song had been lying there for more than half an hour. Some of the people in the team had recovered a little, but some were not doing so well.
"Captain Wang, let's all withdraw." Bai Song had no choice but to sigh and make arrangements.
"Captain Bai, please come with us." Captain Wang said.
"Okay, I'll retreat too." Bai Song really understood that he couldn't show off his bravery. He then explained the situation in his group, hoping that Huadong and others would also retreat if they encountered any problems.
