Or, run away?

Once this idea arises...

It's like a little spark shining in dry wood...

In just a short moment, this spark turned into a huge flame...

Dry fire!

Yes, it’s just dry fire!

Richard's thoughts flew quickly...

For a moment, Richard felt a low moan like a demon coming from his ears...

Or, run away?

Or, run away?

Yes, why not escape?

Once this idea occurs, it is like a flame spreading in the grassland and cannot be extinguished no matter what...

There is a saying in this world, which is called "fullness and lust"...

The meaning is very simple. When a person is full and wears warm, he will easily have some disharmonious thoughts...

On the contrary, if a person is under the pressure of survival, he often does not pay attention to other things...

Only when the material life is satisfied can a person's spiritual life be satisfied...

Just like a person who only considers starting a family when he is full and dressed warmly, he will have a more fulfilling life, more wealth, and greater power...

In this world, most people will not be satisfied...

Simply put, people have all kinds of desires...

When the most basic desires are satisfied, stronger desires will often arise naturally...

Someone once told such a joke...

It is said to be a man's minimum standard dream...

Actually there are only three...

Peasant woman, mountain spring. Some fields.

Although it's just a joke, it's not unreasonable...

For most people who are below the ordinary lifeline, this is undoubtedly a very good life. A self-sufficient life is not necessarily worse than those of the migrant workers who live in apartments in cities...

In fact, the reason is very simple. For everyone, having enough air breathing is their first priority in survival, because without air, it is difficult for any animal to survive for more than five minutes, so it will naturally suffocate to death...

Next, people will begin to pursue water sources. Like air, humans will also be unable to survive without water...

And with air and water, humans will begin to pursue food, because without food, they will starve to death...

Only after having air, water, and food can survival be considered basic guarantees...

Next, humans began to pursue the need to reproduce...

In fact, reproduction is also a reflection of survival needs, but the previous three needs are the survival needs of human individuals, while reproduction is the survival needs of the human race...

This is true for any creature...

After meeting one's own survival needs, the continuation of race will be considered as the instinct of a creature...

After satisfying one's instinct, what a person needs to consider is the clothing that he must wear to resist the severe cold and heat. After having food and clothing, the next step is to start to understand the concept of private...

After meeting a certain material needs, what you pursue next is naturally a higher level of needs...

For example, the quality of air, the quality of water, the quality of food, the quality of spouse...

In fact, from the perspective of quality of life alone, the three standards of peasant women, mountain springs and small fields have largely exceeded the standards that urban people can meet, because at least the air in the countryside is undoubtedly fresher than that in cities, and the plants grown in their own fields and animals raised by themselves will not have food safety issues. Rural women are relatively obedient and will not cause trouble...

After all these needs of life are met, the next step is to explore the entire world...

From survival to better survival, and then to the best survival...

This is the direction that humans have been working hard for...

Richard is naturally a human being...

At this moment, Richard is in such a state...

In fact, after the previous battle, he kept racking his brains to make himself survive the terrible woman...

The thought in his mind at that time was that even if he was caught and taken away by people from other organizations and suffered endless torture, it would be better than dying immediately...

The fear of death has occupied his heart for a long time...

So, from the appearance of that old man until he was out of the state of "nearly" death, he was always in a state of drowsiness...

Apart from thinking about leaving the terrifying vampire woman, he had no other thoughts in his mind...

For Richard, the terrifying woman in maid outfit was like an abyss symbolizing death, forcing him to do everything possible to stay away from the other party. At that time, outside of this idea, his mind was almost empty...

The desire to survive almost overwhelms all existence...

However, when he successfully left the terrible room, when he walked back to the street and saw the crowds coming and going...

But his heart is ready to move...

Something called freedom is beginning to slowly bewitch his heart...

This is a very normal situation...

It’s like a gambler just chopped off his fingers under the warmth of his relatives, and then swears in front of his relatives that he will never gamble again...

However, once he leaves the warm environment that made him swear, after a while, he will naturally feel itchy and want to gamble again. At this time, he will have to look at the environment he is in. If he has relatives around him, he may still be able to restrain himself, but if he is in a place that is not paid attention to, he may not be able to help but gamble in the casino again...

Generally speaking, we call this phenomenon affectionately - death!

But from Richard's perspective, the emotions he would have had are quite normal things in itself...

Since entering modern society, human beings have gradually begun to pursue some other things since the initial pursuit of the most basic living needs...

For example, dignity...

For example, freedom...

No matter who it is, freedom is a very important thing...

Some people even regard freedom as more important than life itself...

Even in the eyes of people who do not regard freedom as more important than life, freedom is undoubtedly one of the most important things in life...

Richard is not the kind of person who regards freedom as more important than life. In his opinion, living is the most important thing. In order to survive, freedom and dignity are just clouds...

However, this does not mean that he will easily give up his freedom and dignity. On the basis of life guaranteed, freedom and dignity naturally need to be pursued...

Just like in a Hong Kong TV series, when the police use a gun to stop the bandits from committing crimes, if the bandits think freedom is above everything, they will naturally fight with the police and be shot to death. But if the bandits think life is above everything, they will naturally surrender without making any dangerous actions under the gun...

However, even the bandit who surrendered, in fact, would not wish to spend the rest of his life in prison...

And if at this time, the gangster was surprised to find that among the two policemen guarding him, one of the policemen went to the bathroom, the other policeman turned his back to him and was within his attack range...

Will this gangster have the idea of ​​attacking the policeman and snatching the keys and then running away?

The answer is basically yes...

In fact, before the bandits take action, they will definitely weigh it...

His weighing process is as follows: If he doesn't take action, he will definitely go to jail and die. If he takes action, he will have the opportunity to escape. Once he smuggled into other countries, he can still live freely. Second, he will attack the police for a short time. Whether he kills the other party, injures the other party and escapes, the process will be very short. If he is discovered, as long as he put down his weapons and surrenders at the first time, he will not be shot. At best, he will only produce the same result as not taking action, because no matter how serious the crime he committed, there is no death penalty in Hong Kong...

Since whether you take action or not will not affect your survival, why not try it?

At this time, Richard actually had the same idea as the gangsters in the police and gangster dramas...

In fact, since leaving that terrible room, Richard already felt that there was no problem with his survival...

Because it is obvious that the old man walking in front of him is obviously a member of a large organization, or even an organization affiliated with the Chinese country. For such an organization, they will not kill a captured S-level awakened person for some reason...

For such an organization, the action procedures must be very rigorous. Faced with an S-level awakened person, they will definitely try to obtain some information they are interested in through themselves, and Richard is also confident that he will retain some of his rights and interests through negotiations. As long as his intelligence is indeed valuable, the other party will definitely not be detrimental to him. Not to mention other aspects, he believes that the Chinese awakened person will definitely be interested in the research on the transplantation of awakening ability. As long as the other party is interested in this research, the other party will definitely not choose to kill himself...

Richard had enough reasons to prove the research he proposed, and his abilities could prove this. So after leaving that terrible woman who was unreasonable, he was very confident that he could survive. He believed that as long as the other party was a normal person, it would be impossible to do something unfavorable to him...

Of course, he had no intention of attacking the old man who looked a little distant when he walked in front of him...

The gangsters would want to attack the police because the police held the keys to his handcuffs, but Richard did not need to do so because the other party did not take any control measures against him...

Moreover, although the old man walked forward to lead the way with his back to Richard, no matter from any perspective, the other party was just an ordinary person, but Richard felt a sense of awe in his heart...

However, awe is not enough to stop Richard from wanting to escape...

In fact, when this thought arose in his mind, countless ways of escaping were summarized in his thoughts...

For Richard, who has survived, freedom is undoubtedly a greater temptation...

Although his thoughts were flying, Richard's expression did not change at all...

Then. He began to evaluate the surrounding environment and the possibility of escape...

On the left are various storefronts outside the street community, including snack shops, clothing shops, and various gift shops and jewelry shops...
