Since discovering an armed convoy approaching nearby, the entire Granit Refuge has been mobilized to defend and resolutely resist any invasion by external forces.
People in the shelter have long been accustomed to this kind of mobilization, because life has become more and more difficult after the catastrophe, and attacks on the shelter often occur. In order to survive, everyone must tighten their nerves to deal with any crazy things.
At the beginning, a large number of people who escaped from the city tried to enter the shelter. However, the five-member elders of the shelter resolutely refused to admit more people. They relied on force to drive away the latecomers, and even killed some opponents.
Kicked out of the shelter.
Facts have proved that this cruel decision is correct. When supplies are scarce, even one more person will make life in the shelter more difficult. And after the nuclear bomb washed away the land, the residents of the shelter were even more grateful that they had hoarded enough supplies.
They are also more resistant to someone sharing resources with them.
However, as the people in the shelter went out, the existence of Granite Shelter became gradually known. There were always people coming in various forms, some pleading, some threatening. But the people in the shelter had long practiced a
He has a heart of stone and will not compromise to protect his territory.
As time went by, mutated creatures appeared in the city, and there were endless attacks and battles. In the life of blood and fire, the residents in the shelter could only forget the rules of the civilized world and began to follow the laws of the jungle.
Because he is responsible for the defense of Granit Sanctuary, Elder Joseph shows no mercy to any foreign enemies. He wins the love of the residents with his decisiveness and determination. It is because of him that we can live a good life in peace and stability in the Sanctuary.

After discovering the armed convoy, Elder Joseph mobilized his men as usual to be vigilant and ready to fight. They had faced off head-on with the adventure group of the Brotherhood of Steel before, and they did not fall behind at all.
"Don't worry, everyone, we can protect our homeland. We can survive until the nuclear winter passes, and we can live a happy life again." Elder Joseph encouraged every soldier under his command. However, when he arranged everything, he did not wait.
Come to the imaginary strong attack.
What are the armed convoys doing outside? Are they planning to spend the night in the cold wilderness? Come and attack quickly! We are all ready.
The guns are loaded and the personnel are ready. Everyone is mobilized with high morale and is willing to fight to protect their homeland. But the enemy... is still not coming!
They couldn't wait to come, and they couldn't wait to come. When night fell, the cold wind started blowing, and the soldiers in the defensive positions outside began to be unable to bear it, and they made various complaints.
Why haven't you brought any food?
Why is there no one to change the guard?
Why do we have to be exposed to the cold wind here?
You must know that Baltimore is a very high-dimensional place. In nuclear winter, the temperature during the day is below zero, let alone at night. It is freezing cold! Even peeing is prohibited in this kind of weather, otherwise the penis will turn into a small popsicle every minute.
But in such a bad environment, it seemed that nothing happened to the armed convoy. Their camp was actually brightly lit, as bright as day.
Wearing a thick warm cotton coat, Elder Joseph climbed up to the church steeple again, holding a telescope to look at a brightly lit camp two kilometers away.
How did these guys do it? The supporting facilities must be too good!
Elder Joseph stayed for a long time, and finally remembered the walkie-talkie that came from the drone during the day. He pressed the call button again and asked, "What are you doing in the convoy outside?"
After asking for a long time, the answer came over the intercom, "The temperature is too cold, we are trying to find ways to keep warm."
You know it's too cold? Why don't you get out of here in such a cold weather? What are you doing standing outside our shelter?
Elder Joseph was really angry. He asked loudly: "Heat? In this cold weather, you should find a building complex to live in. It is useless to just light a few bonfires in the wild. You will all freeze to death."
"Oh, thank you for your concern!" The person on the intercom replied cheerfully: "We found a well nearby that has not been frozen, so we rebuilt a bathroom and are preparing to boil some water for a bath. You don't know, so
It’s really enjoyable to take a hot bath on a cold day!”
What?
Listening to the laughing voice on the intercom, Elder Joseph wondered if he had heard wrongly.
Take a shower? Wash your sister!
There should be a formula for talking nonsense, okay?
Although the surrounding litter can be used to make a fire, it is not easy to boil water. The current temperature is at least ten degrees below zero, or even twenty degrees! In such a cold weather, no one except mutant creatures can
Willing to go out and do activities.
But Elder Joseph held up his binoculars and watched in the cold wind for a long time, and he really found bursts of hot water vapor coming out of the camp two kilometers away. Seeing this scene clearly, even the followers around him were stunned.
.
Taking a hot bath in this cold weather is already an unattainable luxury for many people. You must know that everything is good in a shelter, except that it is not easy to make a large fire. Don't think about fuel and other things.
The only good thing now is that Maryland has a high forest coverage rate and there is no shortage of firewood near the shelter.
However, a large amount of firewood is burned in underground shelters, and if ventilation is not done properly, everyone will suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning. Because of this, the residents of the shelter rarely take a shower once a month.
"This is absolutely false. In this weather, if you take off your clothes, you will freeze to death. How can you still have the courage to take a shower?"
"There are only a few simple buildings where the convoy is staying. They can't even accommodate people. Is it possible to open a bathroom to take a shower?"
"They must be lying to us, trying to lure us out of curiosity to investigate. We must not be fooled."
Several followers talked to themselves and immediately solved the reason for the 'bath riddle'. However, Elder Joseph kept staring at the camp opposite and remained silent for a long time.
Two hours later, another greeting came from the intercom, "Hey! People in the shelter, we have finished taking a shower, and we still have a lot of hot water that we don't want to waste. Do you want a few of you to come and enjoy it?"
Elder Joseph had already left the steeple and returned to the church. When he suddenly heard this greeting, he looked stunned again. The attendants following him were stunned and then moved a little. Someone whispered: "Elder Joseph, can I take this opportunity?"
Go to their camp to see the situation? At least find out how many people and equipment they have."
He was just an entourage, not an important person. After thinking about it, Elder Joseph nodded slightly, "Pay more attention and take a closer look at the characteristics of this convoy. I always feel that this armed convoy is strange."
He followed the order and left. After an hour, he happily ran back and shouted: "Oh, that strange convoy really renovated a bathroom, and it really has hot water! Take a hot shower on this cold day
Taking a bath makes my whole body feel comfortable and warm."
Seeing the flushed face of such an entourage, Elder Joseph asked with a cold face: "Have you figured out the situation of that convoy?"
"Ah?" The entourage who had taken a hot bath was immediately stunned, and said weakly, shrinking his neck: "I just took a bath and forgot about this matter."
"Idiot, loser, fool, you messed up the matter." The other followers denounced for a while, and then said after shouting: "Elder, I am willing to investigate the situation again and ensure that we understand the situation of this mysterious convoy."
"I'm willing to go, too. More people and more pairs of eyes."
"Don't argue, everyone. Didn't you say there is still a lot of hot water? Ah..., no, no, no. I mean, if we go together, we will definitely understand the situation in more detail."
Looking at the noisy group of young people, Elder Joseph was furious, "You bastards, can you be more serious? You all want to take a hot bath, right?"
