Chapter 574 Hot Bath

Since discovering an armed convoy approaching nearby, the entire Granit Refuge has been mobilized to guard against death and resolutely resist any invasion by external forces.

The people in the shelter have long been accustomed to this kind of mobilization, because after the catastrophe, life is becoming more and more difficult, and incidents of attacking the shelter often happen. In order to survive, everyone must tense nerves to deal with anything crazy.

In the beginning, it was a large number of people fleeing from the city who tried to enter the shelter. However, the five-member elders of the refuge resolutely refused to accept any more people. They relied on force to drive out the latecomers, and even drove some opponents out of the refuge.

Facts have proved that this cruel decision is correct. When supplies are scarce, even one more person can make life in the shelter more difficult. After the nuclear bomb washed the land, the residents of the shelter were even more grateful that they had hoarded enough supplies, and they were even more resistant to someone sharing resources with them.

However, as the personnel of the shelter went out, the existence of the Granite shelter gradually became known. There are always people coming in various ways, begging and threatening. But the people in the refuge have long cultivated a hard heart, and they will not compromise in order to protect their territory.

As time went on, mutated creatures appeared in the city, and it was another endless shock and battle. In the life of blood and fire, the residents in the shelter can only forget the rules of the civilized world and start to follow the law of the jungle.

Because he was responsible for the defense of the Granit Refuge, Elder Joseph showed no mercy to any foreign enemies. He won the love of the residents with his decisiveness and determination. It is because of him that the shelter can live a good life in peace and security.

After discovering the armed convoy, Elder Joseph mobilized his people to be vigilant and ready to fight as usual. They had once faced head-to-head with the adventure group of the Brotherhood of Steel, and they never lost the wind.

"Don't worry, everyone, we can protect our homeland. We can survive the nuclear winter, and we can live a happy life again." Elder Joseph encouraged every soldier under his command. But when he arranged everything, he didn't wait for the imaginary storm.

What is the armed convoy outside doing? Are they going to spend the night in the cold wild? Hurry up and attack! We are all ready.

The guns are loaded, the personnel are ready, and everyone is mobilized with high morale and willing to fight to protect their homeland. But the enemy... has been slow to come!

The left can't wait, the right can't wait. When it really fell into the night, the cold wind blew up, and the soldiers on the defensive positions outside began to be unbearable, and they all complained.

Why didn't you bring food?

Why would no one come to change the guard?

Why do we have to suffer the cold wind here?

You must know that Baltimore's latitude is very high, and the temperature during the nuclear winter is below zero during the day, let alone at night, it is icy cold! Even urinating is forbidden in this kind of weather, otherwise the **** will take it out and become smaller popsicles in minutes.

But with such a bad environment, the armed convoy seemed to be fine. Their camp was so brightly lit that it was as bright as day.

Elder Joseph climbed up to the steeple of the church again wearing a thick warm cotton coat, and looked through the binoculars to see a brightly lit camp two kilometers away.

How did these guys do it? The supporting facilities are 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, "The convoy outside, what are you doing?"

After asking for a long time, the reply came from the intercom, "The temperature is too cold, we are trying to find a way to keep warm."

You also know it's too cold? Why don't you get out of here in such a cold weather? What are you doing stuck outside our shelter?

Elder Joseph was really angry, and he asked loudly again: "For warmth? In this cold weather, you should find a complex to live in. It's useless to light up a few bonfires in the wild. You will all freeze to death."

"Oh, thank you for your concern!" The person on the walkie-talkie replied cheerfully, "We found a well not yet frozen nearby.

So we've remodeled a bathroom and are getting ready to boil some water for a shower. You don't know, taking a hot bath in such a cold weather is really enjoyable! "

What?

Listening to the laughing voice on the intercom, Elder Joseph wondered if he had heard it wrong.

bath? Wash your sister!

There must be a spectrum for nonsense, okay?

Although the surrounding litter can be used to light the fire, it is not easy to boil the water. The current temperature is at least ten degrees below zero, or even twenty degrees! In such cold weather, no one is willing to come out except mutant creatures.

But Elder Joseph held up his binoculars and watched in the cold wind for a long time, and he really found waves 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 in the shelter is good, but it is not good to start a large-scale fire. Don't think about fuel or anything. The only good thing now is that Maryland has a high rate of forest coverage, and there is no shortage of firewood near the shelter.

However, a large amount of firewood is burned in the underground shelter, and if the ventilation is not done well, everyone will suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning. Because of this, the residents of the shelter seldom take a bath once a month.

"This is absolutely false. In this weather, you will freeze to death as soon as you take off your clothes. How can you have the guts to take a bath?"

"There are only a few simple buildings where the team stays, and they can't even live in them. Is it possible to open a bathroom to take a shower?"

"They must be deceiving us, just trying to induce our curiosity to investigate. We must not be fooled."

Several attendants talked to themselves, and immediately answered the reason for the 'bathing puzzle' by themselves. However, Elder Joseph kept staring at the opposite camp and remained silent for a long time.

And two hours later, another greeting came from the intercom, "Hey! People in the shelter, we have finished taking a shower, and there is still a lot of hot water that we don't want to waste. Would you like some of you to come and enjoy it?"

Elder Joseph had already left the spire and returned to the church. When he heard this greeting suddenly, he was stunned again. But the entourage who followed him was a little moved after being stunned, and someone whispered: "Elder Joseph, can I take this opportunity to go to their camp to see the situation? At least find out how many people and equipment they have."

Just a follower, not an important person. After thinking about it, Elder Joseph nodded slightly, "Pay attention to the characteristics of this convoy. I always think this armed convoy is weird."

The entourage led away, and after an hour, he ran back happily and shouted: "Oh, that strange convoy really remodeled a bathroom, and there is really hot water! Take a bath in hot water in this cold weather." Take a bath, this is the whole body is comfortable, so warm."

Seeing the red face of the attendants, Elder Joseph asked coldly: "Have you figured out the situation of that convoy?"

"Ah?" The follower who had taken a hot bath was stunned immediately, shrinking his neck and said weakly: "I was too busy taking a bath, so I forgot about it."

"Idiot, idiot, idiot, you messed up the matter." The other attendants condemned for a while, and after shouting, they said: "Elder, I am willing to investigate the situation again, and promise to find out the situation of this mysterious convoy."

"I'm willing to go too, with more people and more eyes."

"Everyone, don't argue. Didn't you say that there is still a lot of hot water? Ah..., no, no, no. I mean, let's go together, and we must know more details."

Seeing 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?" (To be continued.)
