"I know there are people inside, can you give me something to eat?" A man's hoarse voice came from outside the door.

Liu Fan was not sure whether the people outside were bait used by other forces to test, and still did not answer.

At this time, the man outside spoke again: "I live across the street and saw you driving the car into the yard. Please give me some food. My mother hasn't eaten all day." All I want is a pack of instant noodles or bread, and I will kneel down here for you."

boom.

There was a heavy kneeling sound outside the door.

Liu Fan frowned, still unable to open the door with confidence. If there is an enemy on the other side, once the door is opened, the first barrier will be breached.

He thought for a while and said, "You go, we are just passing through here and we don't have anything to eat!"

The man did not stand up and leave, but kowtowed three times.

He said: "My mother's legs are inconvenient and she has been bedridden for three years. The city has been closed for more than a month. We have run out of food. Now there is nothing to eat around. I beg you to give me some food." Save my mother, I can be a cow or a horse for you."

After listening to the man's words, Liu Fan's cold heart seemed to suddenly shine with a warm light. He whispered to Wang Shize next to him: "Go to the top of the building immediately and observe if there is anything strange around you?"

Wang Shize immediately turned around and went upstairs. Five minutes later, Wang Shize's voice came from the intercom: "Everything is normal around here."

Liu Fan felt relieved, and then said to the man outside: "I will open the door later, and you can come in immediately. If there are other attempts, I will kill you immediately."

The man's trembling and joyful voice came: "Don't worry, I'm the only one!"

Liu Fan signaled the others to prepare for battle with his eyes, then opened the door's mechanical lock and quickly opened the door a crack.

At the moment when the gap opened, the man outside stepped into the courtyard, and Liu Fan quickly closed the door.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

At this time, the man's appearance appeared clearly in front of everyone. He was only wearing a vest, his skin was dark, his face showed a deep sense of vicissitudes of life, and there were still blood marks on his forehead from kowtowing just now.

The man said respectfully: "My name is Wang Zhen. I am a migrant worker. I live in the shanty town across the street. The city has been closed for more than a month. The city is in chaos and many people have died. Now I can't find anything to eat. , my mother has also stopped taking medicine for more than a week, and now her health is getting worse and worse. I just want to give my mother something to eat."

Liu Fan looked Wang Zhen up and down and asked, "How old are you?"

"My 25th birthday will be in one month."

Fang Wu looked at Wang Zhen in disbelief and said, "Brother, you are lying. Looking at your state, even if you say you are 45, some people will believe you."

Wang Zhen quickly explained: "I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, I can show you my ID card later. I have been working on the construction site for nearly 10 years. It is normal for me to show my age due to exposure to wind and sun."

Liu Fan then asked: "Based on this, you started working when you were 15 years old and didn't go to school?"

Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "My family is poor. My father passed away early and my mother was in poor health. I dropped out of junior high school before finishing junior high school. I worked as an apprentice for two years and then went to work on a construction site."

During the conversation, Liu Fan had been observing Wang Zhen's movements and expressions and found nothing unusual.

All his actions and words are completely consistent with his identity as a migrant worker.

Liu Fan's tense nerves relaxed a little.

Liu Fan continued: "Let's do this. I will get you some food later and go with you to see your mother. In addition, we have a doctor here who can help you see your mother."

Hearing this, Wang Zhen's eyes instantly turned red. He did not expect that not only would he get food, but Liu Fan would also take the initiative to help his mother with treatment.

Without thinking, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Liu Fan. Fortunately, Liu Fan had quick eyesight and quick hands and held him back.

Liu Fan said: "As a man, you must preserve your dignity and don't kneel down easily."

Wang Zhen nodded gratefully and said, "My mother has raised her since she was a child. As long as I can give her a bite to eat and prevent her from starving, it doesn't matter whether I have dignity or not."

After Wang Zhen finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard fell silent. A dignified seven-foot-tall man can kneel down to others at any time in order to save his mother. Should this be praised or should we be angry?

Who caused this to happen?

Liu Fan turned around and asked Fang Wu to prepare a large bag of food. Then he called Wang Xue over and asked her to get some medical supplies. He said, "You will come with me to see Wang Zhen's mother later."

Wang Shize said worriedly: "Captain, let me take a few people with you. It's so late, so if anything happens, there will be someone to take care of you."

Liu Fan shook his head and said: "No need, Wang Xue and I can do it. If there are too many people, it will be easy to be discovered. If you stay here, you must keep an eye on our firearms."

Wang Shize couldn't convince Liu Fan, so he looked at him and Wang Xue and followed Wang Zhen into the alley opposite.

Wang Shize turned around and arranged the defense, allowing a dozen newcomers to all enter defensive positions according to his requirements.

——

After passing through an alley, they came to the shanty town of this city. Liu Fan had always been vigilant. It was indeed very risky for him to come here. If Wang Zhen was really from a certain force, this industry would be very dangerous. .

Liu Fan is betting based on intuition now. He bets that Wang Zhen is trustworthy, and in the process of fighting for 10 years in his previous life, he found that people like Wang Zhen will be very loyal once they surrender to you. 's subordinates.

Liu Fan is in need of manpower now and doesn't want to miss such a good idea.

Because of the virus, most of the people in the shanty town have died, and it is possible that only the mother and son are still alive.

So it seems very quiet here, a bit cautious.

They walked through deep alleys one after another and arrived at Wang Zhen's home about 10 minutes later.

As soon as Wang Zhen entered the door, he shouted excitedly: "Mom, Mom, I'm back. I've brought you food, and there's a doctor who can take care of your illness."

But Wang Zhen didn't hear his mother's answer. He smiled and said, "Maybe my mother is asleep, she just likes to sleep. Come on, I will take you in to sit down. I have to wake my mother up to eat something." She must be hungry."

In fact, Wang Zhen hadn't eaten in the past two days, but with so much food in his hand, he didn't let himself take a bite along the way. He only wanted to return it to his old mother.

This detail raised Liu Fan's identification of Wang Zhen's character to another level.

With the creak of the old door, Wang Zhen quickly walked into the back room.

But Wang Zhen's body suddenly froze in place, and the food in his hand fell to the ground. Then he rushed to the bed and shouted:

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
