Chapter 367 - 375: The Water is Too Cold, Let Me Do It (5)
Because Tibet’s terrain is relatively high, those professional mountaineering teams that had conquered Kunlun Mountain in Tibet at least five times were already accustomed to the climate and environment here. However, for Li Qingshen and Ling Momo, who had never been to Tibet before, it posed a significant problem—that was altitude sickness!
The first twenty-four hours were incredibly torturous, with symptoms of dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus, and weakness. These are normal for anyone coming here for the first time, so the first day was about acclimatizing to the environment.
Ling Momo felt extremely uncomfortable, tossing and turning, trying to sleep, yet unable to fall asleep. She endured a hazy day and, after twenty-four hours, miraculously adapted to the environment of Tibet. Having eaten some food and drunk a lot of water, she gradually recovered her strength and spirit.
However, as for Li Qingshen, things turned out somewhat worse for him.
At the start, Li Qingshen felt nothing but weakness and lethargy. But by evening, he even began showing symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Seeing this, members of the mountaineering team quickly brought out the prepared medicine and administered it to him.
After taking the medicine, Li Qingshen closed his eyes, falling in and out of a drowsy sleep.
Once Ling Momo had come to, she fed Li Qingshen the medicine again. He seemed to regain a bit of energy, but by the next evening, he suddenly exhibited shortness of breath, chest tightness, and rapid breathing. Minutes later, his complexion and lips began to turn purple.
Ling Momo was alarmed and quickly called for help.
