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

12:58pm.

The town of Sinoa is located 5 kilometers north of the Georgia State Federal Penitentiary.

When Rick returned to the town of Sinoa, he found that gunshots were coming from the town.

"Boom boom boom——"

Three explosions rang out in the distance, and several motorcycle gang members wearing jackets were engulfed in flames, screaming and flailing their arms in the street.

Moments later, the people fell to the ground, becoming burning corpses.

Rick stopped the car, stored the police-grade Ford Expedition SUV in the storage compartment, put on the stealth black special operations suit, and then quickly fled forward, gripping two M9 multi-purpose knives.

The commercial street of Sinoa Town.

"Ughhhhhhh—Help! I don't want to die!"

Rick had just arrived at the commercial street when he heard someone calling for help in the distance.

Hundreds of zombies crowded the already narrow streets, with several zombies lying on the ground gnawing on the bodies of motorcycle gang members. The entire commercial street was filled with a lingering stench of blood.

Seeing this terrifying scene, Rick was secretly delighted. He happily climbed onto the top of the newsstand on the street corner, conjured a QJZ-171 machine gun and machine gun mount from his personal space, then mounted the machine gun on the mount, gripped the handle, and prepared to pull the trigger.

But just then, two beautiful figures appeared out of nowhere behind Rick.

These two were Mieko and Misaki, who had been practicing using the QJZ-171 machine gun at their personal shooting range.

After the two women emptied the last box of 12.7x108mm armor-piercing tracer rounds, they put down the QJZ-171 machine gun, whose barrel had become quite hot. Then they went to the Spirit Spring Well, where they happily drank a cup of the spring water. Afterward, they sat under the shade of a tree and turned on the 3D projector to watch everything that was happening around Rick.

When the two women saw Rick climb onto the newsstand, set up the QJZ-171 machine gun, and prepare to fire, they couldn't sit still any longer. Hand in hand, they left their personal space and returned to the outside world.

As soon as they came out, they saw Rick get into position, ready to pull the trigger and spray the zombies in front of him. With quick reflexes, Misaki jumped up and kicked Rick in the lower back, sending him flying to the edge of the newsstand, where he almost fell.

"Holy crap, who's so unethical as to dare ambush me?"

"I kicked it, so what? You're not happy about it?"

Upon hearing the voice, Rick was taken aback at first, then turned around with a fawning expression and went to Misaki's side.

"Hehehe, no, no, I was just kidding. Don't be angry, Misaki. Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare, would I?"

Seeing this, Misaki snorted and crossed her arms.

"Hmph, I still prefer your arrogant self from just now. Try to revert to your old self?"

"No, no, no, that was just an accident. I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Waaah!"

Seeing Rick feigning a pitiful look, Misaki didn't respond to him. Instead, she pointed to the QJZ-171 machine gun mounted on the machine gun mount and asked.

"Mihoko, go and operate that QJZ-171 machine gun. Remember the techniques I taught you at the firing range."

Upon hearing Misaki's words, Mieko walked to the machine gun mount like a well-behaved little rabbit, skillfully loaded 12.7x108 caliber armor-piercing tracer rounds into the chamber, then pulled the bolt next to the machine gun, adjusted her posture, and pulled the trigger at the hundreds of zombies in the commercial street ahead.

"Da da da - da da da -"

Before the zombies could react, the flash suppressor of the QJZ-171 machine gun spewed out scorching flames, and 12.7x108mm armor-piercing tracer rounds, trailing green dots of light, shot towards the horde of zombies in front.

In an instant, countless zombies were pulverized into pieces by a death storm composed of 12.7x108mm armor-piercing tracer rounds.

Many of the zombies were instantly enveloped in a black mist the moment they were hit, and a few moments later, they disappeared completely from the street.

Seeing this scene, Mihoko couldn't contain her excitement. That night, she only saw her best friend Misaki wielding the QJZ-171 machine gun and slaughtering hordes of zombies with great satisfaction. Now, as she operated the machine gun herself, she truly understood the ultimate exhilarating feeling of .50 caliber armor-piercing rounds shattering human bodies.

Ten seconds later.

When Mihoko fired the last bullet from the barrel, she stopped shooting, looking as if she hadn't had enough, and extended her right hand to her husband who was standing by watching.

Rick paused for a moment when he saw Mieko extending her right hand to him, then extended his own right hand and grasped Mieko's outstretched right hand.

Unaware of the truth, Rick smiled at Mieko, a move that shocked her. Looking at her husband's silly grin, Mieko turned away with a look of disgust. Meanwhile, Misaki, who witnessed this, was speechless. She clenched her right fist and punched Rick on the head.

"boom--"

"Ouch! What are you doing? Ouch!"

Rick made the sound he had practiced for two and a half years. He rubbed the spot where he had been hit and looked at Misaki with a puzzled expression.

"Idiot! Mieko is asking you for ammunition for this machine gun."

"Huh? Oh, oh, oh."

Upon hearing this, Rick seemed to suddenly realize something, and he immediately placed the remaining three boxes of 12.7x108mm armor-piercing tracer rounds under the machine gun mount.

Seeing Rick finish his move, Misaki put one hand to her forehead, shook her head, and muttered to herself.

"Sigh, I really don't understand how Mieko and I could have fallen for such an idiot with such low emotional intelligence."

However, at that moment, hundreds of zombies surged out from behind the newsstand where Rick and his companions were. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they rushed towards the newsstand like sprint champions.

Seeing this, Misaki, who was standing to the side, shouted at Rick next to her.

"Oh no! A zombie with bloodshot eyes is running behind us!"

Rick looked in the direction Misaki was looking and saw a scene that made him break out in a cold sweat.

Hundreds of zombies with bloodshot eyes rushed toward him at a speed comparable to that of a sprint champion. Seeing this, Rick took out an M32A1 grenade launcher and six freeze grenades from his personal storage space, and then quickly loaded the freeze grenades into the magazine.

Misaki quickly took out a QJZ-171 machine gun from her ring space, and then took out a box of 12.7x108mm armor-piercing tracer rounds from under Mieko's machine gun mount. She quickly loaded the ammunition belt into the chamber of the QJZ-171.

At this moment, the group of bloodshot-eyed sprinting zombies had reached a position 20 meters away from the newsstand. Two of the most ferocious zombies in the lead had already sprang up and pounced on Rick and the others who were on the newsstand.

At this critical moment, Misaki, holding a QJZ-171 machine gun, pulled the trigger on the two berserk zombies that were lunging at her.

"Da da da - da da da -"

The QJZ-171's already cold muzzle once again spewed out scorching bullets. One after another, 12.7x108mm armor-piercing tracer rounds formed an insurmountable death barrier. The moment the two zombies that pounced at it were hit by the armor-piercing tracer rounds, their sturdy and strong bodies immediately became fragile and were instantly torn into countless fragments.

Black and red blood swirled in the air, staining the ground within a 5-meter radius with crimson spots.

Some blood splattered on Misaki's black special operations uniform, but she paid no attention to it. Her right finger was tightly gripping the trigger, slaughtering the swarming, frenzied zombies in front of her.

This scene shocked Mihoko, who had just loaded her ammunition. She had seen running zombies with Rick in the Atlanta Police Department's underground research facility, but she had never seen so many sprinting, ferocious zombies.

She shook her head, bringing her thoughts back to the present, and called out to Rick beside her.

"We're running out of ammunition, and there are still plenty of zombies!"

Seeing that Mihoko was opening her mouth but making no sound, Rick immediately took out noise-canceling headphones from his personal space and put them on. Seeing Rick's actions, Mihoko also took out her own noise-canceling headphones from her ring space and put them on her ears. Through the communicator inside the noise-canceling headphones, Mihoko repeated what she had just said to Rick.

Rick, having heard clearly, immediately opened the system shop. His points had increased from 3 to 468 and were still rising.

He immediately spent 450 points to purchase a universal copy card and 30 boxes of 12.7x108mm armor-piercing tracer rounds, then closed the page and returned to the outside world.

Ten boxes of ammunition were materialized directly under Mieko's machine gun mount, and another ten boxes of ammunition were materialized at Misaki's feet.

After doing all this, Rick took out the universal copy card, went to Mihoko's side, and stuck the card onto the QJZ-171 machine gun. Then, a golden light flashed, and a QJZ-171 machine gun with a tripod appeared in Rick's hand.

Upon seeing this, Mihoko immediately snatched the QJZ-171 machine gun from Rick's hand and said...

"This new one is mine, and yours is yours back."

Finished.

Before Rick could even speak, Mieko pulled the trigger on another group of frenzied zombies charging towards her from a short distance in front of her.

"Da da da - da da da -"

"Da da da - da da da -"

Listening to the sounds of QJZ-171 machine guns firing from both sides, Rick felt like he was just a tool delivering ammunition, standing there dumbfounded watching his two wives excitedly slaughter the rampaging zombies.

The only thing that brought Rick any comfort was that his score balance was rapidly increasing. Sometimes it increased by a few points, and sometimes it would suddenly jump by 100 points. This happened quite frequently, almost every few seconds, with a 100-point increase. Rick knew that this was due to Loki's special affix, "Cunning and Treacherous": for each target killed, the score gained would increase by a fixed 100%, with a 10% chance of triggering a critical hit, increasing the kill score to 1000%. There was also a 10% chance of triggering "Flawless," restoring the weapon's durability to full.

When Rick saw the barrel of Mihoko and Misaki's QJZ-171 machine gun turn red and then suddenly black after firing too many bullets, he knew that this was due to the 10% probability of triggering Perfection.

If this continues, no matter how many zombies come, as long as there is enough ammunition, the QJZ-171 machine gun will never break down due to excessive firing.

With that in mind, Rick spent another 200 points to buy 40 boxes of 12.7x108mm armor-piercing tracer rounds. He then materialized 20 boxes for each of Misaki and Mieko, which directly resulted in the newsstand being piled high with ammunition boxes.

Rick loaded his QJZ-171 and set it aside. After Mieko or Misaki ran out of ammunition, they would take Rick's loaded QJZ-171 and use it. The empty QJZ-171 would be set aside and given to Rick to reload.

And so, Rick became Mieko and Misaki's human-shaped ammunition loading tool.
