But when they noticed Wang Ye's figure, their eyes revealed shock.
"A Chinese? Did he come here alone?"
"It seems so."
"To arrive alone at the South Ridge Camp at 8,000 meters above sea level is incredible."
"And judging by the size of his backpack, it seems he didn't bring oxygen tanks or ropes. Did he climb the ice unprotected?"
"That's too dangerous... Is he an extreme athlete?"
"He must be an athlete from the national team; being able to climb to this height alone is not a feat for the average person."
Because the snowstorm was so intense, they could hardly see Wang Ye's face, only barely making out his build and skin color.
But even so, they could tell that Wang Ye's physical condition was absolutely extraordinary.
At this altitude, even top endurance athletes in long-distance running would find their strength and endurance reduced to almost nothing, relying solely on willpower to keep moving slowly towards their goal. Ordinary people would collapse on the spot.
