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

12:43pm.

South of Galveston, Texas.

The USS Hunter nuclear-powered aircraft submarine stopped three nautical miles from the beach.

The CH-53K Super Stallion transport helicopter slowly rose from the vertical missile launch silo in the very center of the submarine.

As the elevator platform brought the helicopter to the top, Rick started the helicopter's engines.

Three T408 (GE38-1B) turboshaft engines manufactured by General Electric were started, and the huge fan blades began to spin rapidly, gradually increasing in speed.

A moment later, when the engine speed reached the takeoff standard, Ricker pulled up the control stick, and the Super Stallion transport helicopter took off, flying towards Dallas, 600 kilometers away, at a top speed of 310 kilometers per hour.

During the flight, Rick taught Elisa how to operate the helicopter, and Elisa, like a natural-born helicopter pilot, quickly learned how to operate the helicopter under Rick's careful guidance.

Therefore, Rick handed over the controls directly to Alyssa, letting her experience the thrill of piloting a helicopter.

At first, Alyssa was a little nervous and reserved, but with Rick's constant encouragement, she gradually got the hang of it. She tried a few simple flying maneuvers, which almost gave Rick a heart attack.

Fortunately, all of this was under Elisa's control, which gave Rick the idea of ​​training her and El to become helicopter pilots.

Just as Alyssa lowered the helicopter to a sufficiently low altitude, Rick looked down from the fuselage and spotted a very familiar iron bridge. On the bridge was a yellow school bus and several other abandoned cars blocking the beginning and end of the bridge.

Upon seeing this, Rick remembered that this was one of his favorite characters from Fear the Walking Dead, on a bridge near the cabin where John Dory lived.

"Elisa, fly along this river and see if you can find a cabin in the woods."

Elisa responded playfully.

"Yes, Sir!"

Rick was amused by her playful manner and quickly teased her.

"Ms. Alyssa Clark, I am now granting you the position of pilot with the rank of sergeant. I hope you will work hard and strive to become a flight lieutenant as soon as possible."

Hearing Rick's words, Alyssa smiled and followed his instructions to circle the area, trying to find the cabin Rick had mentioned.

five minutes later.

As the CH-53K Super Stallion helicopter flew over a damaged bridge, Rick spotted the hut below and quickly told Alyssa.

"Elisa, I've found the cabin. Land the helicopter downwards."

The helicopter slowly descended and eventually came to a stop beside the river in front of the cabin.

The helicopter's roaring engines gradually subsided, and Rick led Alyssa out of the cockpit.

As soon as I came out, I saw three people walking out of the small house across the street.

Rick knew all three of them: John Dowry, his wife Joan Dowry, and Charlie.

Upon seeing the man and woman dressed in the Defender anti-bite combat suit, the three people raised their weapons.

A milky-white Colt M1873 single-action revolver, an M9 Beretta pistol, and an unidentified small, broken knife.

Seeing this, Rick not only didn't raise his hand, but instead spoke confidently to Joan and John.

"You two can try shooting at us."

Hearing the man's words, Qiong frowned slightly and said.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? What's in the helicopter?"

At this time, Elisa had not yet met Joan and John, but she was already prepared to eliminate the three of them at any moment.

She sent Rick a telepathic message.

"Honey, should I go and take them out right now?"

Rick replied immediately after receiving the message.

"No, these three people will be our partners from now on. Just watch how I handle this."

At this moment, Rick walked towards the three of them on his own, and Joan shouted at Rick when she saw this.

"Don't come any closer! Or I'll shoot!"

John chimed in.

"Laura's right, I'll shoot if you come any closer!"

"Huh? Laura?"

Upon hearing the name 'Laura,' Rick froze on the spot, turning his head to look at the rusty old two-door pickup truck parked next to the cabin.

When Rick saw the hood open, he realized that this was the timeline after John rescued Joan and began treating her injuries. After Joan recovered, she planned to leave and agreed to let John call her Laura. It was at this time that they encountered Charlie, who had wandered here. However, it was unclear whether Charlie had returned from working as a spy at Dale Diamonds Baseball Stadium or had never been there before.

Rick walked forward, lost in thought, completely ignoring Joan and John's warnings.

"Bang---"

A gunshot rang out from ahead; it was Joan, holding an M9 Beretta pistol, firing it with both hands as she warned Rick.

"This shot is the final warning. If you keep moving forward, the next shot will hit you in the head."

Upon hearing this, Rick pointed disdainfully to his head and said sarcastically.

"Come on, if you've got the guts, then shoot. Shoot here. If you can kill me, this CH-53K Super Stallion transport helicopter behind me is your means of transportation to leave here. If you can't kill me, then obediently put down your gun and listen to my proposal, how about it?"

Hearing the man's words, Joan hesitated. John, who was standing next to her, could tell from his experience as a police officer that the man was fearless. From his powerful words, he could tell that the man was very confident in the pure black bulletproof helmet he was wearing.

Having figured this out, he went up to Joan and comforted her.

"Laura, don't shoot yet. Maybe he really wants to talk to me. Besides, he can drive such a huge vehicle here, so he doesn't seem like someone who lacks supplies and weapons. If he really came to rob us, he wouldn't come here without even taking any weapons and walk right into our trap."

Charlie chimed in from the side.

“I support Uncle John’s proposal.”

Hearing their words, Joan, who had been hesitant, finally gave up. She lowered her hands, which were holding the Beretta M9 pistol, and tacitly agreed to John's suggestion.

Seeing that his beloved woman had given in, John took a deep breath, then mustered his courage, walked up to the man, took out the only piece of candy he had prepared for Laura from his pocket, and handed it to Rick.

"This candy is very sweet; it's a token of my sincerity."

Looking at the crumpled milk gummies in front of him, Rick took off his combat helmet, revealing his handsome, dashing Eastern face.

John and Joan stared at the handsome Eastern man in front of them for a moment, but they quickly regained their composure and stared at him with wary eyes.

Rick took the milk gummies John handed him, unwrapped them, and popped them into his mouth to taste.

"Hmm~ This tastes pretty good, but it's not as good as my White Rabbit milk candy."

"Snapped---"

Rick snapped his fingers, and a large jar of White Rabbit candy appeared in his hand as if by magic, containing a full 1000 candies.

Charlie, Joan, and John all witnessed this scene. They never expected that the Easterner in front of them was a magician who could conjure objects out of thin air.

Rick ignored the three's surprise and handed a jar of White Rabbit candy to the stunned John with a smile, saying...

"If I eat one piece of candy from you, I will return 1000 pieces of candy to you. That is my sincerity."

Hearing Rick's words, John swallowed hard, unscrewed the transparent jar containing 1000 White Rabbit candies, took out three candies, walked over to Joan and Charlie, and handed one to each of them.

But none of the three dared to take the first bite. Seeing this, Rick had no choice but to walk up to John, take two candies from the jar, unwrap them, and put them in his mouth.

"See? It's not poisonous. You can eat it without worry."

A moment later, seeing the Asian man standing there as if nothing had happened, the three breathed a sigh of relief, unwrapped the White Rabbit candy wrapper with Chinese characters printed on it, and put the candy in their mouths.

In an instant, the rich milky aroma tantalized the taste buds of the three women, making them instantly fall in love with White Rabbit milk candy.

Charlie savored the milk candy, resting her chin on her hands, closing her eyes, and happily reminiscing about the wonderful memories it brought her.

John and Joan stood still, closed their eyes, and quietly savored the milky flavor in their mouths.

Rick didn't disturb the three of them. He stepped back to Alyssa's side, put his hand on her shoulder, and said...

"So, I'll take care of your husband."

Elisa swallowed hard and said to Rick in a coquettish tone.

"Honey~ They're eating so deliciously, I want to try some too."

"You little glutton, I knew you wanted to eat this, so I prepared it for you a long time ago. Open your mouth."

"Ah~"

Rick put a White Rabbit milk candy directly into her mouth.

A moment later, Elisa also fell into the same reminiscing expression as John, Joan, and Charlie.

The reason these four people had this expression dates back to the day they shopped for Elisa in the system's online store.

When Rick paid the bill that day, the system saw that his spending points had exceeded 10,000 and specially gifted him 10 cans of White Rabbit milk candy produced by the system. Each can contained a total of 1000 candies. The White Rabbit milk candy produced by the system not only tastes good, but can also remind the consumer of the beautiful memories they have forgotten, making them unable to extricate themselves from sweet memories.

Since Rick got his hands on blue coffee candy, he's turned his nose up at all other candies, let alone candies that evoke sweet memories. He doesn't need them at all. For him now, having so many wives by his side is already a blessing. He doesn't miss the past at all. For him now, cherishing the present and staying true to himself is what he should be doing. If Rick hadn't known that John and Joan liked candy, he wouldn't have thought of giving them any.

five minutes later.

The White Rabbit candy that the three of them had been talking about disappeared, and they returned from their sweet memories to reality.

Seeing the three of them still looking like they hadn't had enough, Rick smiled and walked over to say something.

"Gentlemen, have I shown enough sincerity? Can we have a proper talk now?"

At this moment, Joan's expression softened considerably as she looked at Rick. She put her Beretta M9 pistol back on her waist, and Charlie sheathed the unidentified knife in her right hand. John had already put his Colt M1873 single-action revolver back into its holster. He warmly placed his hand on Rick's shoulder in response.

"Of course, my friend, you are welcome at Dori's cabin."

Rick and Elisa then followed John and the others toward his John's cabin.
