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

The second floor of the bookstore.

Grimes: "Is the matter finished?"

Rick: "Not yet, but we should go. Marvin, get ready, we need to leave."

Marvin nodded, picked up his M14 Crazy Horse, slung his M700 shotgun over his shoulder, and walked over.

Rick spent another 20 points from the system store to redeem an M14 Crazy Horse, and then handed the M14 Crazy Horse to Grimes.

Rick: "Take this. Next, we need to explore the shops along the street. Your revolver is too noisy, and there are still a lot of zombies hiding in the city. If you fire this shot, it will attract a horde of zombies. Without heavy firepower support, we're all doomed!"

Upon hearing Rick's words, Grimes put the revolver back into its holster and accepted the M14 Crazy Horse that Rick handed him.

Although he wasn't as fanatical about the gun as Marvin, looking at the gun in his hand, Grimes felt full of power and went downstairs.

Rick took the M700 from Marvin's back, put it in his weapon pouch, and gave the two instructions.

“Marvin, you and Grimes go back to Madison Outdoor Store first. I cleared out a wave of zombies there before we came. I reinforced the alley behind the store, so it's definitely safer there now than here. You and Grimes ride back first. I need this car parked here. Grimes, keep an eye on Marvin. He has a broken left leg, so take care of him a little.”

Grimes glanced at Marvin's left leg and then replied.

"Okay, I'll be careful. Be careful on your own. If you encounter any danger, remember to call for help via walkie-talkie. I'll come over to help you right away."

Upon hearing this, Rick waved his hand and parted ways with the two.

Rick separated from Marvin and the others because he received an urgent mission from the system.

[Ding! The main character group, Glenn and his gang, have been detected and are trapped in the department store ahead. Please provide immediate support. Mission reward: "Universal Weapon Optional Accessory Box x3"]

"System, system, explain what a Universal Weapon Optional Accessory Box is?"

[Ding! Universal Weapon Optional Accessory Box. After opening, the host will find universal accessories for all weapons. It contains a variety of accessories, including muzzle attachments, scope attachments, stock attachments, weapon underbarrel attachments, and more.]

Rick laughed upon hearing the system's explanation. Apart from his own M14Crazy Horse, which was fully modified, all the other weapons sold in the system's shop were in their initial state, with nothing but magazines. Even the accessories that could be exchanged now were only the few accessories available for the M14Crazy Horse, which were not suitable for all weapons.

Rick put the M700 back into his personal storage space and then spoke to the system.

"System, retrieve the M700 shotgun."

[Ding! Item "M700 Shotgun" detected, quality "Brand New and Undamaged". This item has a redemption price of 10 points in the store and a recycling price of 5 points. Recycle it?]

"Yes"

[Ding! Recycling successful, points +5, host's current points: 176.1]

Rick conjured the M14 Crazy Horse he had bought earlier from his personal storage space and quietly sneaked into the bus in front.

The bus was positioned not far from the department store, and Rick climbed from inside the bus onto the roof, where he could see the shopping center in front of him.

The department store was now surrounded by dozens of zombies, and due to the earlier commotion, more and more zombies were moving toward it.

Rick lay on the roof of the bus and took out a military tactical telescope with a thermal detector to observe the department store. Through the thermal detector, he saw six human-shaped heat sources on the seventh floor. Rick guessed that the six human-shaped heat sources must be Glenn's gang.

.....................

at the same time.

The seventh floor of the department store.

In a certain shop, Glenn, T-boy, Andrea, Moore, Jacques, Morales and others gathered together.

At this moment, Moore roared at everyone present:

"Damn it, if it weren't for the gunshots coming from the intersection ahead, we wouldn't be trapped here."

Andrea glanced at the dejected others, then turned to Mor and said:

"Alright, Mor, this happened so suddenly. None of us expected this to happen. Instead of yelling at everyone here, let's think about how to get out of here."

Turning around, Mor said to Andrea with a disdainful look:

"Andrea, how dare you talk to me like that? Whose fault is this? Who suggested going into the city to loot today? If it weren't for a bunch of meddlesome old women, would we be in this situation today?"

Hearing this, Andrea was captivated. Indeed, today's looting operation was proposed by her and Amy and a group of other women. They had been stationed in the abandoned mine for a month, and their supplies had long been exhausted. The men were fine, but there were women in the camp who needed to use feminine hygiene products every month, including herself and Amy.

Jacqueline, a Black woman standing nearby, heard Moore's words and retorted:

“Mohr, you’re a man. We women are different from you men. I have my period every month, and the camp’s women’s supplies have long been used up. If it weren’t for us women in the camp, who would do the laundry and cook for you men?”

Upon hearing Jacques' words, Moore instantly sprang to his feet, raising his hand to teach the black woman a lesson. Just then, the glass on the first floor of the department store, after being repeatedly pounded on by the zombies outside, finally shattered under the weight. A large number of zombies poured into the first floor, and the entire department store was filled with the roars of "Ugh ugh ugh ah ah ah" from the zombies.

When the group reached the edge of the seventh floor, they saw zombies heading there via the stairs. Glenn immediately said to the others:

"Now is not the time to argue. Everyone, take your things and head to the rooftop!"

Having finished speaking

The remaining few abandoned their argument and fled to the rooftop with the loot they had gathered.

After seeing the zombies break through the department store, Rick didn't rush to follow them inside. He took out his M14 Crazy Horse with a silencer and killed several zombies he could see. Then he went to the corpses and spent 1 point to exchange for a biohazard suit and put it on. Afterward, he took out his military knife from its sheath and began to dissect the zombie corpses in front of him. Rick took out the organs and smeared the black and red blood on his body.

Rick did this to mask his human scent, allowing him to blend into the zombie horde. After completing this, Rick went to the first floor of the department store. There weren't many zombies on the first floor at the time, only a few scattered around. Rick approached a zombie, wanting to test if his disguise could fool it. The zombie saw Rick, circled him a few times, sniffed him, and then turned and left.

Rick gripped the dagger tightly in his hand; it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. In the original series, Grimes and Glenn escaped the horde of zombies using the same method.

Seeing that it was effective, Rick walked behind the zombie and stabbed it in the back of the head. Dark red blood gushed out from the back of the zombie's head and splattered onto Rick's protective suit, making the zombie smell on him even stronger.

five minutes later.

Rick used the same method to kill all the zombies on the first floor, and then he went to the second floor.

There were slightly more zombies on the second floor than on the first floor, but most of them were still alone, similar to the situation on the first floor. Rick didn't think much of it and continued with his previous actions, taking down the zombies one by one. After resting for a while, Rick arrived at his destination. He walked to the door of a shop, and through the glass window, he could see that the shop sold jewelry. A large amount of gold jewelry was displayed in the display cases, and plastic mannequins wearing gold jewelry stood inside the shop. Seeing this, Rick knew that he was about to make a fortune again. He went to the locked door, took out a wire from his backpack, and unlocked it.

Thanks to his advanced survival skills, Rick quickly unlocked the door and went inside to begin his free shopping spree.

Fifteen minutes later.

Rick once again strode out of the shop with an air of indifference.

Rick's gains on this trip far exceeded his last. This time, he even found six gold bars and $100,000 in a safe. These six gold bars and $100,000 alone earned Rick 400 points (note: one gold bar = 50 points). In addition, he searched for gold jewelry in the shop, bringing Rick's total points to 600. Looking at these points, Rick was very satisfied. He then opened the system shop and redeemed two MAC-10 silenced submachine guns (submachine guns are worth 8 points each) and 10 .45 ammo boxes (100 rounds per box), spending a total of 26 points.

Looking at the two silenced MAC-10 submachine guns in his hands, and then at the horde of zombies crowding the stairs and moving upwards, Rick felt that he could now prepare to go on a killing spree.

At this time and simultaneously.

The rooftop terrace of the department store.

At that moment, the group was punching and kicking Mo'er, who was tied to the railing.

Just because twenty minutes ago.

When the group arrived at the rooftop, they found that there was no other way out except for the stairwell they had just come from. The low growls of zombies came from below the stairwell, and the group knew that the zombies below would arrive soon. They were trapped here like birds in a cage. At this moment, a suffocating sense of despair enveloped them.
