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

noon

Abandoned quarry camp

Tactical MTVR rear compartment

Rick once again pulled out the same ingredients as those used at last night's bonfire feast from his storage space.

A dazzling array of ingredients were piled up in the tactical MTVR. Rick called Moore over to help move things, while he stood on the roof of the vehicle and said to the people below, "I've seen everyone's hard work. Since you've all been working so efficiently, I won't hold back. I'll bring out all the ingredients from last night's bonfire feast to treat everyone again, as a way of repaying your enthusiasm!"

After Rick finished speaking, the crowd below erupted in enthusiastic applause, with everyone excitedly shouting to Rick on stage.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the crowd, Rick waved his hand to signal them to be quiet. The crowd immediately fell silent and stared at Rick.

Rick then said, "I'm sure you're all wondering why I'm asking you all to finish all your work by tonight, right?"

The crowd below began whispering and exchanging bewildered glances upon hearing Rick's words, but Rick ignored them and continued, "That's because our camp will face a challenge tonight!"

These words struck everyone like a bolt from the blue, and they began to discuss loudly. Some expressed fear, some expressed worry, and some even considered giving up.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Rick knew what was going on. He understood that these people had lived in the camp for a long time, and suddenly knowing that danger was approaching them was bound to make them nervous. Even Rick himself was unsure. Although he had blown the brains out of hundreds of zombies with the M2HB heavy machine gun on his M1A2 Abrams tank at the Atlanta Crossroads a couple of days ago, he was in a safe environment then, and he didn't need to worry about the safety of others. This time was different. He not only had to worry about the safety of everyone in the camp, but Rick also had to complete the advanced mission of eliminating all the attacking zombies. Only in this way could he unlock the exchange for multi-functional crossbow bolts with the under-barrel crossbow and tactical crossbow.

Thinking about this, Rick felt immense pressure. He wiped the sweat from his brow, took a deep breath, and said to the crowd, "Everyone, please be quiet and let me finish!"

Rick's words immediately silenced the crowd, who all looked up at him. Rick then said, "Don't worry, everyone. I've already arranged for Daryl to set up traps within a kilometer of the camp's perimeter. Besides, you've all built three lines of traps around the camp yourself. Although our walls aren't very high or sturdy, we have weapons. As I said, I'll distribute weapons to everyone, and the top 10 will each get a pistol!"

Hearing Rick's words, the group thought about it and immediately realized their leader was right. With defensive structures and traps in place, and everyone armed, what was there to worry about?

Thinking of this, the crowd stopped discussing and continued to stare at Rick.

Rick continued, "My men will protect everyone too. They're all equipped with military-grade weapons, including armed Humvees and the tactical MTVR I'm standing on! Just those two vehicle-mounted .50 caliber M2HB heavy machine guns alone make any challenge paper-thin in the face of absolute power!"

Upon realizing this, the worry on everyone's faces vanished. They were Americans, after all, and they knew the power of the .50 caliber M2HB heavy machine gun. If anyone dared to challenge it, its .50 BMG caliber would turn that fool into pieces in no time.

Rick continued, “I’ve built a watchtower in my tent that can hold eight people. Except for Moore and Morales, who need to stay in the tactical MTVR and armed Humvee to operate the M2HB in case of emergency, the others with good marksmanship, along with my men, will go into this watchtower to observe the eight directions of the camp. If the enemy attacks, the people in the watchtower will prioritize sniping distant targets to ensure everyone’s safety.”

Hearing Rick's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and regained their composure.

Rick said, "Alright, that's the general plan. Ladies who cooked last night, we need you for the lunch banquet today. All the other ladies and gentlemen, please go back to your tents and get some rest. Look forward to the lavish feast at noon!"

Having finished speaking

Rick helped Moore move various ingredients and beer, while the women who stayed behind, mainly Jacqueline and Carol, handled the food and cooked steaks in preparation for the midday banquet.

At this moment, Rick ordered all his men to surrender their weapons. Rick opened the Escape from Kentucky weapon DIY interface and added a mini thief charm to each weapon redeemed by the system. This mini thief charm automatically converts the valuable metals and cash on the target into points after killing the target and returns them to Rick's system points balance.

After finishing all that, Rick called his men and returned the weapons to them.

Seeing the mini thief charm now attached to their weapons, Andrea and Mor looked at Rick with confusion.

Rick explained, "Don't take this pendant off. All the weapons I give you must have this pendant on them. If anyone's weapon is missing this pendant, come to me immediately with the weapon."

Moore: "But boss, what's the use of this little charm? Why do we have to wear it?"

Rick: "This little charm is very important. Your weapons are inextricably linked to this little charm. If you want better weapons and more ammunition in the future, don't keep asking questions like a curious child!"

When Moore saw Rick's face darken, he shut his mouth and stood aside without saying a word.

Rick: "Very good. Now, divide up the tasks as I instructed. Each of you will take 10 boxes of ammunition from me. If you are about to run out of ammunition, notify me immediately via walkie-talkie. Understand?"

Rick's squad members nodded to him, then picked up their weapons and returned to their posts.

Rick spent 60 points to give each person 10 boxes of ammunition, totaling 1000 bullets per person. Fortunately, Rick knew their shooting skills; otherwise, it would have been a question whether they could have survived tonight's zombie horde with that amount of ammunition, let alone completely eliminate all the zombies in the advanced mission.

Lunch banquet

Rick continued to stand guard for Moore from the machine gun position on the tactical MTVR.

Looking at the people picnicking around the campfire, Rick felt worried. He was very concerned that someone might not survive tonight. It wasn't just that the system mission would fail; although he hadn't gotten along particularly well with these people over the past few days, he would still feel uneasy if one or two of them died.

With a sigh, Rick pulled out his walkie-talkie, adjusted the frequency, and said, "Darryl, Darryl, respond if you hear me, over."

Daryl: "Daryl, roster, boss, please speak. Over."

Rick: "Darry, how's the trap setup going? Any unusual activity around here? Over."

Daryl: "Boss, the traps around the area are almost set up, but..."

Rick: "Just what? Daryl? What's wrong?"

Daryl: "It's nothing. I was passing by that big tree on the side of the abandoned quarry road when I found that Ed was dead and had turned into a zombie."

Rick: "Ed turned into a zombie? Are you sure? Did you even go closer to see how he turned into a zombie?"

Daryl: "I saw it. He wasn't bitten, there wasn't a single wound on his body, but his neck was unusually thick, as if something was blocking his throat, causing him to suffocate to death."

Rick knew what was going on. In the world of The Walking Dead, no matter who you are or where you are, if your brain isn't damaged when you die, it will activate the virus hidden inside your brain, eventually turning you into a bloodthirsty zombie.

Thinking of this, Rick said to Daryl, "Daryl, you did a great job. Now come back for the luncheon. Your brother Moore has saved your favorite food for you."

Upon hearing that there would be delicious food again at noon, Daryl immediately replied to Rick, "Got it, I'll be right back. Over."

five minutes later

A wild Daryl, wearing a motorcycle leather jacket and carrying a tactical crossbow, joined the luncheon feast.

The banquet lasted for an hour and a half before it ended.

Seeing that everyone had returned to their tents to rest, Rick also went back to his tent and started taking a nap.

When everyone had rested and came out of the tent, it was almost dusk.

Rick had a wonderful afternoon nap and was now full of energy.

So far

In order for everyone to survive the night, Rick decided to spend all his points to exchange for weapons and ammunition, preparing for the night.

He ordered everyone in the camp to hand over all melee weapons and firearms that were not issued to him.

Although the group didn't understand what Rick was going to do, they all handed over their weapons out of trust in their leader.

Rick was overwhelmed by the various miscellaneous weapons that everyone had handed over.

However, he quickly regained his composure and told everyone to return to their tents and wait for Rick's summons again.

Seeing that there was no one around, Rick activated the system's recycling ability, recycling all the messy weapons in front of him and converting them into points.

Fortunately, the haul was pretty good. These miscellaneous junk weapons yielded a total of 170 points, which, combined with my remaining 280 points (I had 280 points left after exchanging 300 for two system items), gave me a total of 350 points. If I were to exchange them for weapons, I could get 70 Glock 17 automatic pistols or 35 AR15 assault rifles. However, that would mean I wouldn't have enough ammunition, and besides, not everyone in the camp knows how to use a pistol.

最终瑞克花了100积分兑换了5把满配件M14Crazy Horse(一把20积分)+25积分兑换了25盒7.62口径弹药盒(一盒100发)，150积分兑换了10把AR15(一把10积分)+100积分兑换100盒5.56口径弹药盒(一盒100发)，15积分兑换15把战术大砍刀+10积分兑换10把军用匕首，瑞克给每把武器包括近战武器上都安装了一个迷你小偷挂件，这样他们击杀丧尸时，自己也能获得积分补充了。

Although this operation wiped out Rick's points, Rick believed that he would definitely earn over a thousand points tonight.

Having finished speaking

Rick called everyone together and prepared to hold a mobilization meeting.
