Strange man

At noon, Li Bin was lying on the floor, sweating profusely. He was sore all over and had no strength left.

He had been exercising at home all morning today, and his physical strength was almost exhausted.

If he hadn't done it on a whim today, he wouldn't have known that his physical fitness had declined to this extent.

You know, he used to run ten kilometers easily, but now doing a few push-ups and sit-ups is like taking his life.

Seeing Li Bin working so hard, Sun Lan's eyes were full of heartache. She wiped Li Bin's sweat with a towel.

Li Bin panted heavily and sighed:

"Alas, I'm really old, there's no comparison with the past."

Sun Lan was amused by him.

"You're only 23 years old, what's old about you? You've just been too lazy in the past two years and gained weight."

Li Bin was ruthlessly exposed by Sun Lan, and his old face suddenly blushed.

"Stop talking, don't I have any face?"

The two were chatting, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Li Bin immediately asked alertly:

"Who?"

He stood up from the floor and picked up a long knife on the table.

This knife was given to him by Lu Yuan yesterday for self-defense. In addition to this knife, Lu Yuan also gave him a set of armor.

A strange man's voice came from outside the door:

"Hello, brother, I am your neighbor, and I also live on this floor. I am the young man named Wang Qiang. He used to live opposite me."

Li Bin suddenly realized that there were four households on this floor. No one lived in the house that Wang Qiang broke into at that time, but someone lived in the house opposite.

However, this family has been staying at home and has no intention of communicating with Lu Yuan and others.

Lu Yuan and others did not want to take the initiative to get to know each other.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly knocked on the door at this moment.

"What's the matter?"

Li Bin's voice was a little alert.

While asking, he looked at the peephole of the security door and saw a man in formal clothes standing at the door.

Although he was dressed decently, his fluffy and messy hair and haggard face showed that he was in a very bad mental state.

Next to the man was a little boy, who hid behind the man timidly.

"I'm sorry to bother you, brother. I didn't want to beg you shamelessly, but my son hasn't eaten for a long time. I'm afraid he will have problems if he continues to be hungry."

"Can you please give my son some food? I don't care. I just ask you to give my son some food."

Li Bin immediately understood the other party's intention.

If it goes as expected, this man should have heard the whole thing at home on the day Wang Qiang rebelled.

Obviously, he had learned that Lu Yuan's family had a lot of supplies.

If the other party was just one person, Li Bin might have refused without hesitation.

But seeing the little boy standing outside the door pitifully, Li Bin's mind wavered.

After thinking for a while, he sighed and said:

"Brother, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm also living under someone else's roof. Nothing in the house belongs to me. I can't make this decision. You should ask someone else."

Li Bin still chose to refuse the other party.

After experiencing the incident with Wang Qiang, it was difficult for him to completely trust others again.

What's more, the man in front of him was a stranger.

Unexpectedly, the man knelt down in front of Li Bin's door.

He was crying and his voice was full of tears:

"Please, brother, as long as you can give my son some food, you can ask me to do anything, I can transfer all the money on my card to you."

Li Bin looked at this man who was several years older than him. In order to get food for his son, he actually called him "brother". He felt a little uncomfortable.

The man wore a brand-name watch and his clothes looked high-end. He should have been a man with strong financial strength before the end of the world.

But after the end of the world, the money in his bank card turned into meaningless numbers.

In order to let his son eat something, he gave up his dignity and knelt in front of Li Bin's door and begged.

Sun Lan softened her heart and pulled Li Bin's sleeve.

"Husband, why don't you share some of our food with them."

Lu Yuan allocated a lot of food to Li Bin and Sun Lan every day. With the appetite of the two, they couldn't finish so much every day.

"Alas, these are all Brother Lu's things. Although they are allocated to us every day, we can't give them away casually."

Li Bin was entangled in his heart.

Outside the door, the little boy saw his father crying and started crying too.

"Woo... Dad, I'm not hungry. Let's go back."

The man hugged his son.

"Child, it's Daddy's fault. Daddy is sorry for you, letting you starve with Daddy."

Hearing the conversation between the father and son outside the door, Li Bin felt a blockage in his heart.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered his old squad leader in the army. After he retired from the army, he was stabbed several times for being brave.

As a result, the criminal ran away, and the girl he rescued also ran away, and the old squad leader became disabled for nothing.

But once when Li Bin went to visit him, the old squad leader said that he had never regretted it.

He thought to himself:

"Alas, how did I become like this? Forget it, give them my food. At worst, I will starve today."

Li Bin walked to the living room and took some biscuits, canned food, instant noodles and other food.

The man saw that there was no response in the room, and his expression was a little disappointed. When he was about to stand up and leave, the door suddenly opened.

Li Bin stood at the door and handed him a bag of food.

"Just this once, I can't help you next time."

The man showed an excited expression, and he hurriedly said:

"Thank you brother, thank you brother! You are really my savior!"

Li Bin was a little unaccustomed to the other person's appearance.

"If there is nothing, just go back quickly, don't attract zombies."

"Yes, yes, brother is right."

After the man left, Sun Lan saw that Li Bin's face was heavy, and she grabbed Li Bin's hand.

"Husband, I will share some food with you later, I have a small appetite."

Li Bin smiled helplessly.

"I'm not worried about this, I'm thinking about how to explain to Brother Lu."

The two looked at each other and sighed.

At the same time, Qiao Ya was relieved when she saw the man leaving with his child through the cat's eye.

She witnessed the whole process, but she did not show up, nor did she stop Li Bin.

Qiao Ya just followed Lu Yuan's instructions to protect the safety of Li Bin and Sun Lan.

As for the fact that Li Bin gave the man food, she planned to tell Lu Yuan the truth later.

Just as Qiao Ya was about to return to the kitchen to continue cooking, a familiar sound of footsteps rang out in the corridor.

Qiao Ya looked through the peephole and a hint of surprise flashed across her face. It was Lu Yuan who came back.

Lu Yuan just walked to the door and took out the key. Before he could open the door, Qiao Ya opened the door in advance.

She hugged Lu Yuan and gave him a big hug.

"You're back!"
