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

6:30 in the morning.

In front of Wally Grocery Store in the South Side of Houston, Texas.

"Ahhh—"

Upon hearing the familiar scream, Abraham immediately jumped up from the steering wheel and yelled.

"Allen! It's Allen's voice, man! My wife's in trouble!"

"I know, hurry up and get out of the car to save her."

Upon hearing Rick's words, Abraham immediately opened the car door, grabbed the AKM assault rifle next to him, and ran in the direction of the shouts.

Rick said to his two wives.

"My wives, I'll be right back. As for Annie, I'll give you a gift before tonight. I hope you like it."

Annie was overjoyed to hear that her man was going to give her a gift, and she said to Rick.

"Be careful on the road, don't keep your mother waiting too long."

Rick laughed as he heard Anne's words, which were somewhat gentle yet carried a hint of fierceness.

"I understand, I'll be right back."

Rick immediately jumped off the M939 military truck, transforming into a ghostly figure, and leaped and bounded toward the location of Abraham's wife.

Rick had already activated his ability the moment the shout came, and locked onto Allen's location in less than three seconds.

However, Abraham did not have this ability; he could only rely on the keen sense of smell he had honed on the battlefield to find his targets.

But how could he outrun Rick, who was wearing a stealth special operations suit?

"Whoosh—"

A figure darted past Abraham, startling him so much that he dropped his AKM.

"Oh my god, was that a ghost? I think I saw a ghostly figure flash past me."

As he pondered, he had already reached the starting point, the edge of a green meadow. Two zombies were chasing young Aji Ford and his sister Caber Ford, while their mother, Abraham's wife Ellen, was being pinned to the ground by a zombie.

After pinning Allen to the ground, the zombie lunged at her neck.

In the nick of time, Rick pulled out his M9 multi-purpose knife from its sheath and threw it at the zombie that was pinning Allen down. Just as the zombie's filthy, foul teeth were less than a centimeter from Allen's neck, Rick's justice arrived.

"Puff——"

The M9 multi-purpose knife's incredibly sharp blade struck the zombie precisely in the back of the head.

Rick didn't have time to rest. He immediately pulled out two golden Desert Eagles from the holsters on his left and right sides and pulled the triggers on the two zombies that were chasing Aggie Ford and Becca Ford.

"Bang bang—"

Two .50AE bullets shot out from the muzzle of the Golden Desert Eagle.

"Slap slap—"

The two bullets successfully hit the heads of the two zombies, exploding them into two bloody mist roses the instant they struck.

Dark red blood mixed with yellow brain matter splattered in all directions, and the siblings Aji and Becca, who were not far from the two zombies, witnessed Rick's heroic act of saving people.

"It's the Punisher! He's come to save us!"

Rick was stunned by what the two said.

"What the hell? The Punisher? How did I become Sean?"

While Rick was still in a daze, Allen stood up, pulled out the M9 multi-purpose knife stuck in the zombie's head, walked up to Rick and said.

"Sir, thank you so much for saving my family. If it weren't for you, my children and I might have perished. Waaah!"

Looking at Abraham crying his eyes out, Rick wanted nothing more than to beat him up. If it weren't for his own bad habits that had given his wife and children an indelible bad reputation, they wouldn't have abandoned him. Although his teammates were beasts, he hadn't even asked them what was going on before shooting them all. That was too impulsive. Luckily, Rick had arrived in time to save the family of three, otherwise the story would have turned out the same as before.

Just as Rick was about to speak, a man's voice came from afar.

"Aji! Becca! Daddy's here!"

A red-haired Abraham was seen running towards them, carrying an AKM assault rifle and talking as he ran.

"Don't be afraid, Allen, your man is here!"

Seeing that it was Abraham, Alan turned around and took the children's hands to leave, but just then, Rick grabbed her hand and said...

“Ms. Allen, I know you dislike Abraham's brutality and don't want to see children trembling in fear at the sight of him, but have you considered this? This is the apocalypse, filled with zombies and dangers everywhere. Human nature is laid bare in this environment…”

Allen interrupted Rick.

"Stop talking. I'm willing to be your wife, and I'm willing to let the children call you father. As long as you treat the three of us well, I promise the children will listen to you."

"Clang—"

Rick's M9 multi-purpose knife fell onto the cold asphalt road, and Abraham's AKM assault rifle also fell to the ground.

Upon hearing this, Abraham trembled uncontrollably. He walked over and asked Allen.

What did you mean by what you just said?

Allen mustered up his courage and stood up to speak.

“Abraham Ford, my feelings for you are over. I don’t want to follow you anymore. I hope you can let us go. You must have seen the letter on the table. I can’t let my children have a vicious and violent father, and I can’t allow my children to grow up to be violent madmen like you who kill without hesitation.”

“So, Abraham Ford, I’m leaving you with my children. You can take this as a unilateral divorce. From now on, you go your way and I’ll go mine. We can never get back together in this life. Just consider us, mother and child, dead.”

"Thump—"

Upon hearing this, Abraham knelt down on the ground. He looked at his wife in disbelief, then turned to look at his two children, while Aji and Becca stood behind Allen, trembling as they stared at their father.

“Aji, Becca, my children, do you share the same thoughts as your mother?”

Aji and Becca nodded shakily.

"Bang bang bang—"

Abraham grabbed the AKM assault rifle from the ground and pulled the trigger into the sky.

"Aaaaaah! Why! Can't you all understand me? Why! I'm your father, and your husband, why do you treat me like this? Am I wrong to try to protect you in my own way? Those four bastards wanted to cheat on me! They were my closest comrades-in-arms, brothers I'd sworn brothers with on the battlefield! I trusted them as much as I trusted you, and yet, when I went out to search for food, they tried to cheat on me, and you, you bitch, didn't even fight back?"

“I, Abraham Ford, must have been blind to marry such a ungrateful woman like you, and you’ve given birth to two ungrateful brats. Get the hell out of here right now, I never want to see you again.”

Seeing Abraham's dark and furious state, Rick felt great sympathy for the guy. He himself had never imagined that Abraham's wife and children would be such ungrateful wretches who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

Seeing Abraham's extreme anger, Rick tried to comfort him.

"Forget it, buddy, it's not worth getting angry over a woman and a child like that. You're a tough guy like Contra, you'll definitely find someone better in the future. Just trust me, I guarantee I'll find you someone who loves you. Honestly, I think you were really blinded by love when you found a wife like that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rick helped up the burly man kneeling on the ground, holding an AKM assault rifle, and gave him a hug.

Hearing Rick's words, Abraham's furious expression softened considerably, and he hugged Rick back.

"Dude, just hearing you say that makes me really happy. To be honest, I'm starting to understand why some women like someone like you."

Rick was filled with questions upon hearing Abraham's words, and he began to wonder.

"No, brother, what do you know now? What do you mean you know that women like me? That's completely unrelated to your current situation. Women liking me is my business, but that's completely unrelated to your wife and kids not wanting to live with you."

Seeing the two of them, Ellen was still not giving up. She had noticed Rick's agile body and the two pure gold pistols. Combining this with his clothing, Ellen came to a conclusion.

“This man is definitely not an ordinary person. There must be a more powerful force behind him. It will definitely be fine to take the children and join him. If we can become his people, then the safety of myself and the children will be guaranteed. Besides, I am still young. If I can give him a son or daughter, I will be able to control him even better.”

Thinking of this, Allen grabbed her arm and said.

“I don’t care who you are, I, Allen, am sticking with you. I’m going to divorce Abraham and marry you to have your children. My two children will be your children too. Aji, Becca, call them new dad.”

Aji and Becca: "Hello, new dad!"

Upon hearing this, Rick felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind, while Abraham's face turned ashen.

Even so, Abraham's wife still didn't forget to add insult to injury.

"Look, the children are calling you Dad now. You should tell me your name, right? Whatever your name is, I'll make sure the children change it to yours. Whether you're called John, Williams, or Welsh, I'll make sure they take your surname. As long as you protect us, the three of us, we'll be your closest family. And my daughter and son will be your biological daughter and son. I'm still young. If you can give me the life I want, I promise I can give you another son and a daughter, two more of your own flesh and blood..."

"Enough! You bitch, you son of a bitch, Alan Ford, no, Alan Hessman, you are not worthy of using my Ford family name, and you two little bastards, you ingrates, you are not worthy of using my surname either, you and your mother get out of my sight immediately!"

Seeing Abraham's fury, Rick quickly stopped him and tried to comfort him.

“Abraham Ford! If you’re my good brother, come with me and leave this place. I guarantee you’ll find someone better. Instead of staying here and suffering like a coward, get in the car and leave this city with me. I’ll take you to my base, where there are plenty of female survivors for you to choose from. My base isn’t far from here, just east of here in Atlanta, Georgia. As long as you come with me, I guarantee you’ll live a life of luxury instead of being stuck in that grocery store and suffering the humiliation of these three cowards!”

Hearing Rick's words, hope rekindled in Abraham's eyes, and he released Rick.

"Is everything you're saying true, brother? Can I really go with you?"

Rick extended his right hand and smiled.

"Of course I can, brother. Let's get acquainted. My name is Rick, I'm from China, and I'm currently the undisputed ruler of Atlanta. Not just Atlanta, but the entire state of Georgia is under my control. Brother, if you come back with me, I guarantee you'll be the second-in-command of my base. If I have meat to eat, you'll have soup to drink. I guarantee you'll eat nine meals in three days, and every meal will have meat!"
