The Walking Dead: I Sell Arms as a Sixth-Rate Seller in the Apocalypse

7:35 in the morning

A street 3 km east of the Atlanta CDC.

The white man spoke his first words to Rick after getting out of the car.

“Kid, I really don’t like the way you look at me. I’ll give you a chance to live. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, and I might spare your life.”

Hearing this, instead of getting angry, she stared coldly into his eyes and said...

"Heh, as expected, the governor of Woodbury only knows how to resort to such underhanded methods. Typical of you, Philip Black."

The white man opposite him, the governor, did not show any surprise when he heard this. Instead, he calmly sized up the man in front of him.

At that moment, the black man spoke to the governor.

“Governor, stop wasting words with him. Just disarm him and take him back to Woodbury for interrogation. That will reveal the source of his weapons.”

Upon hearing the Black man's words, the governor's eyebrows twitched, and then he turned his head and responded with a fierce expression.

"What? Thomas, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"No, I wouldn't dare. Please continue."

Upon hearing the governor's words, the black man, whom the governor had called Thomas, broke out in a cold sweat. He wisely shut his mouth and moved to the governor's side to continue staring at Rick.

The governor turned around, stared at Rick with his deep eyes, and sneered with a forced smile.

"Heh, kid, you've got some skill, you even know me. But since you know me, you should know my methods. I'll give you two choices: either tell me the source and whereabouts of the weapon, and I might let you join me, or I'll disarm you and take you back to Woodbury. I believe that since you know me, you should also know that I have another title, 'Interrogator Philip,' right?"

Just then, Milton, who was driving, got out of the car and tried to persuade Rick.

"Hey Asian kid over there, since you know the Governor, you should know that he treats his subordinates very well. It's a good thing that he's giving you a chance to join him. The Governor doesn't keep useless people under him. If you become the Governor's subordinate, your safety will be guaranteed in this apocalyptic environment."

Rick responded to Milton's threat with a disdainful expression.

"If I were to choose..."

"click"

With a bang, the armed Humvee machine gunner behind Rick pulled down the bolt of his M2HB and aimed it at Rick. If Rick made the wrong choice, he would immediately shoot him to death at the governor's signal.

"Hehe, kid, there's a saying in your ancient Eastern country, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' I hope you choose carefully, or I won't mind letting you suffer a bit before I capture you."

The governor looked at Rick with an air of confidence, believing, based on his judgment of character, that this man from the ancient Eastern country would have carefully considered the pros and cons.

Rick thought for a moment, then put the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle he was holding on the ground, raised his hands and addressed the governor.

"You won. I hope you keep your word."

Upon hearing this, the governor let out a villainous laugh.

“Very good. As long as you lead me to the weapon, I will consider making you my direct subordinate.”

But at this moment.

"Slap~ Slap"

Two sharp gunshots rang out from near Rick.

Rick knew that it was the sound of 9x39mm subsonic rounds fired from the VSSM Night Demon silenced sniper rifle.

Just as the gunshot rang out, the man behind Rick, who was holding the M2HB vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun, was shot through the heart. He let out a dull thud before his body fell from the armed Humvee machine gun position.

"Sniper! Take cover!"

The governor immediately shouted to his men, and the Asian woman he was holding pulled out an AR15 assault rifle without any accessories from somewhere. She and the governor squatted down behind the Humvee door and observed their surroundings.

Seeing his chance, Rick immediately spent 1 point from his system space to exchange for two smoke grenades. Taking advantage of the governor's inattention, he quickly lowered his raised hands, materialized the smoke grenades in his own hands, and then pulled the pins off the smoke grenades and placed them at his feet.

The smoke grenade, after the pull pin was pulled, emitted a hissing sound, and immediately a thick plume of black smoke billowed from the smoke grenade's nozzle.

Large plumes of smoke began to fill the area between Rick and the governor.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Rick picked up the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle from the ground and quickly fled in the direction from which the gunshots came.

Mihoko fired three shots at a Black woman who was crouching next to a taxi with her head sticking out from a street corner.

Moments later, the Black woman's head and chest were taken by Mihoko's Night Demon silenced sniper rifle.

However, at that moment, an unexpected incident occurred. A bald man wearing a motorcycle jacket approached Mieko from behind with a double-barreled shotgun. Taking advantage of Mieko's inattention, he rushed over and pointed the gun at the back of her head, shouting.

"Don't move, little girl."

Upon hearing this, Mihoko was stunned. She instinctively lowered her weapon and raised her hands with trembling hands. Rick, who had just arrived, witnessed this scene.

Just as Rick was about to raise his weapon to fire, the bald man spoke first.

"Put down your weapon, or I'll blow her head off."

Hearing this, Rick knew that not only was he doomed, but Mieko was also going to die. Thinking of this, he sighed and lamented that he was destined to suffer this fate.

He shouted at the bald man.

"Don't hurt her, I'll put down my weapon right now."

Rick put down his weapon again, raised his hands, and stood still.

At this moment, the governor's other men also realized what was happening. They immediately ran up to Rick and hit him on the back of the head with the butt of their rifles.

In an instant, Rick went completely black and lost consciousness.

Mieko yelled "No!" at Rick before he lost consciousness.

And so, Mihoko and Rick were captured. The bald motorcyclist put black sacks over their heads and brought them to the governor to claim credit.

Seeing this, the governor patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction and praised him. He helped the Asian woman back to the passenger seat of the Hummer, while he himself jumped back into the machine gun position of the Hummer. Rick and Mihoko were stuffed into a blue van under the governor's orders.

The three cars eventually headed toward Woodbury.

Let's return to the Atlanta CDC.

After killing all the attacking zombies, the group returned to the CDC. Jenner had already returned from the fuel storage facility on the third basement level. Looking at the group carrying various firearms, he sighed and said to them.

"The base will not explode for the time being, and the diesel in the fuel storage is enough for us to use for 10 days."

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered excitedly, especially Sean and the others. After arriving here, they found that the living environment was far superior to that of the abandoned quarry camp, leading them to believe that as long as this place was not destroyed, they and Lori could live here until their child was born.

However, on their second day there, Jenner led everyone to the fuel storage facility on the third underground level and showed them that the diesel was running low and that the base was about to explode. He told them that they either had to leave before noon or stay and die with him.

When everyone heard Jenner's words, they all looked dejected and extremely frustrated, especially Lori, whose pregnancy depression was almost triggered by Jenner's words.

Sean didn't sleep all night, comforting Lori, so much so that Sophia teased him about his dark circles when he woke up.

Jenner cleared his throat and continued speaking to the crowd.

"Cough cough cough, although we have enough fuel for 10 days, we don't have much food left. At the current number of people, the food in the CDC will only last us a week."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened again. During the party last night, they had wasted a lot of food while eating and playing, especially Sophia, who had been throwing cakes at each other and basically ruining all the desserts in the CDC.

Jenner paused for a moment before speaking.

“If you didn’t waste the food last night, there’s just enough food in the base to feed everyone here for 10 days.”

Dale, who was standing to the side, said to Jenner.

"Alright, Dr. Jenner, we understand what you mean. We'll send people out to gather some food. We'll leave the rest to you."

Jenner responded upon hearing this.

"Okay, but if you want to avoid any accidents in the next 10 days, you should try to plug the gap that was blown up at the entrance. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that zombies won't sneak in through that hole at night."

Everyone turned to look at the large gap Jenner had mentioned, and were immediately stumped.

Just then, Kocheta stepped forward and comforted everyone.

“This problem can be left to Rick. When we were fighting in the underground research facility, facing lord-level zombie commanders and lord-level zombie warriors, Rick could repair these damaged things instantly, like magic. My wife and I both saw it.”

“Cocheta is right. We all saw him fix these things like magic. I’m sure he’ll find a way to fix this gap too.”

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, Liz, who had been silent, spoke up.

Has anyone seen Rick and Mieko?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

At this moment, Maggie and Beth came out of the lounge and addressed the crowd.

"Don't worry, that person is Rick. With Mieko with him, nothing will go wrong."

Once everyone thought about Rick's abilities and the various outrageous things he did after getting to know him, they stopped dwelling on the matter.

Unbeknownst to them, Rick and Mihoko had already been taken by the governor back to Woodbury, a small town 60 kilometers to their south.
