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

12:49pm.

Post office in Itasca, a small town south of Dallas, Texas.

As Rick approached the two armored trucks, the system's cold, emotionless mechanical voice rang out.

[Ding! Detected US$130 million and 100 gold bars. Would you like to convert them into points?]

"Yes! Transform!"

A moment later, the two armored trucks were enveloped in two golden rays of light and then disappeared. The system notification sounded again.

[Ding! Conversion and redemption successful. Total points earned this time: "]

Rick opened the system points balance, and when he saw that his points balance had increased, he started dancing awkwardly on the spot.

Just as Rick was figuring out how to spend the money, he remembered that his personal space system could still be upgraded once more.

Thinking of this, Rick spoke to the system without hesitation.

"System, system, I want to upgrade my personal space system!"

[Ding! The portable space system is upgrading. This upgrade will take 12 hours. Please wait patiently.]

"It's alright. I thought it would take 24 hours. It seems that 12 hours is not unacceptable."

Rick closed the system interface, sat in the pilot's seat of the CH-53K Super Stallion King transport helicopter, started the engine, and spoke to the ladies.

"Ladies, it's time to go to Galveston. Board the plane!"

Moments later, the helicopter flew toward Galveston, a city more than 400 kilometers away.

15:24 PM, Galveston North.

While Falcon One was exchanging flight experiences with Beckett and Isaac, Rick's CH-53K Super Stallion transport helicopter flew over the stadium where the CRM Civic Republican Army fuel depot was located.

As Falcon One looked at the CH-53K Super Stallion King transport helicopter in the sky, tears of envy streamed down its face.

He came from the Pennsylvania National Guard, where he didn't know how to fly helicopters. However, becoming a member of the CRM (Civilian Republican Army) was a mandatory course to learn how to fly helicopters. Beginners could only fly the Bell-206 civilian helicopter. Only when their flight time met the standard would they be called up for further training to fly the more advanced UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter or CH-47F Chinook transport helicopter.

Rick slowly brought the helicopter to a stop. As soon as he got off the plane, Falcon One came running over to fawn over him.

"Commander Rick, you've worked hard. Here, have some water."

Rick took the bottled water from Falcon One but didn't drink it. Instead, he looked at Falcon One with a puzzled expression, then turned to Beckett and Isaac beside him and asked.

"What happened to him? It's only been three days, how did he become like this?"

Beckett glanced at Falcon One's fawning expression and replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Commander Rick, he wants to fly my UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter. Judging from his current appearance, he's probably eyeing this CH-53K Super Stallion helicopter."

Hearing Beckett's explanation and glancing at the Falcon One in front of him, Rick readily agreed.

"Want to fly? No problem. Not only can I get you this CH-53K Super Stallion transport helicopter, but I can also get you a UH-1Y Venom armed transport helicopter or an AH-1Z Viper armed helicopter. You won't be able to refuse to fly it!"

Even Isaac and Beckett were taken aback by Rick's words.

"Holy crap? Officer Rick, are you telling the truth?"

"When have I ever joked about something like this? As long as you can learn to fly, I can get you an AH-64D Longbow Apache attack helicopter or a Russian Mi-35 Super Hind attack helicopter."

Upon hearing this, the three men erupted in excitement, especially Falcon One, who was so moved that tears streamed down his face as he shouted at the sky.

"Falcon 2, Eddie! I can fly an attack helicopter now. We made a bet that whoever flew the attack helicopter first would win. I won, but you're dead. Waaaaah."

Seeing this, Isaac patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

“Falcon One, I understand how you feel. I know you feel guilty about Falcon Two’s death, but Commander Rick has formed the Shadow Legion. Once you join, you can pilot an attack helicopter and wipe out these doomsday cultists to avenge Falcon Two!”

Rick sighed as he watched this scene unfold.

"The world is so cold and indifferent; once someone leaves, they're forgotten."

"Sir, Dennis reporting for duty."

Looking at the energetic young man in front of him, Rick didn't say anything, but instead reached out his right hand and patted him on the shoulder, then spoke to the others.

“Isaac, Alyssa, you take the CH-53K Super Stallion King transport helicopter and wait for me five kilometers south of the beach in Galveston.”

"I'll take this UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter to pick up Abraham and Rosita. Let's move out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to pack their luggage in an orderly manner and move it onto the CH-53K Super Stallion King transport helicopter.

ten minutes later.

Isaac and Alyssa led the group in the fully fueled CH-53K Super Stallion King transport helicopter, flying towards the location of the Hunter-class submarine.

Rick then flew his UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter to the location of the two-story villa on the outskirts of Galveston's northern suburbs.

ten minutes later.

After parking the helicopter at the open space where he had taken off last time, Rick walked toward the location of the two-story villa.

Suddenly, a strange dark figure darted out from the bushes beside him and tackled Rick to the ground.

Before Rick could even see who it was, a barrage of insults and a flurry of wild, uncontrolled punches came hurtling toward his chest.

"You bastard, you ran away from me without a word, leaving me here! I'll beat you to death!"

A weak, haphazard punch landed on Rick's solid chest.

Even before Rick opened his eyes, he knew who was saying those words.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Miss Shen, I was wrong."

Hearing this, Shen Youchu was displeased and scolded him while swinging her fists wildly.

"What did you call me? What did you just call me?"

"Miss Shen, I didn't call you by the wrong name, did I? Oh, Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, I was being presumptuous. Please don't be angry, okay?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because saying it only made Shen Youchu even angrier.

"I told you to call me Miss Shen, I told you to call me President Shen! Tell me! Are you seeing some vixen outside again? How can you do this to me and Ruyan?"

"Huh? No, no? My dear wife, please stop hitting me. I won't call you Miss Shen or President Shen anymore. Can I just call you my dear wife?"

"Hmph~ That's more like it. I only allow you to have me and Sister Ruyan. No other vixen is allowed to touch you!"

Rick was speechless. What kind of emotional debt had the original owner of this body incurred to have offended such a controlling rich heiress?

Thinking about this, Rick couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"Is this what it feels like to be the sole object of affection for a domineering female CEO?"

"What did you say? Who's the domineering female CEO?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just want to know what's going on with Liu Ruyan?"

Shen Youchu got up from Rick, pulled him up from the ground, and explained.

"Yun Che doesn't love Liu Ruyan at all. His relationship with Liu Ruyan is like that of siblings. If it weren't for the Yun family wanting to curry favor with the Liu family and wanting to send Yun Che to them as a son-in-law, there would never have been any marriage agreement between them."

Upon hearing Shen Youchu's words, Ru felt as if he had stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip. He didn't interrupt Shen Youchu and gestured for her to continue.

"Actually, the two of them came here not to watch my competition, but to escape their engagement. Li Yan, the third young master of the Li family, has taken a fancy to Liu Ruyan, the eldest daughter of the Liu Group, but Liu Ruyan is determined to refuse him, and as a result, she has offended Li Yan."

"This Li Yan is the most promiscuous and scummy of the four young masters in the capital. And coincidentally, his grandfather Li Jianjun dotes on him the most, getting him whatever he wants. When he heard that his grandson had taken a liking to Liu Ruyan, he sent betrothal gifts to the Liu family the very next day. But the Liu family knows what kind of person Li Yan is, so how could they possibly agree to hand over the future leader of the Liu Group?"

"Therefore, the Liu family rejected the Li family's request to marry Liu Ruyan, which infuriated Li Yan. He complained to his grandfather, Li Jianjun, who was no ordinary man. In order to avenge his grandson, Li Jianjun used his connections in the business world to make the Liu family targeted and hindered by the Li family in every aspect of business, bringing the entire Liu Group to the brink of bankruptcy."

"The Liu family had no choice but to seek refuge with the Yun Group, which had a conflict with the Li family. They proactively sent Liu Ruyan to marry Yun Che, the eldest son of the Yun Group. Originally, Yun Che's grandfather, Yun Zhantian, did not agree to the marriage, but after seeing Liu Ruyan, he fell in love with her at first sight and insisted that Yun Che marry her despite all the objections. However, Yun Che did not love Liu Ruyan at all. In order to postpone the wedding, Liu Ruyan and Yun Che told their families that they wanted to go to Texas together. Both families agreed, but unexpectedly, they encountered the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse."

Just as Rick was about to speak, Liu Ruyan stepped forward and said...

“What Sister Youchu said is true, Brother Rui. I am still a virgin. Yun Che and I only have a brother-sister relationship, not the kind of relationship between husband and wife. At first, I didn’t like you, but when I heard Abraham and Rosita talk about you, I fell in love with you. I know that you have agreed to marry Sister Youchu, but my heart really can’t hold anyone else.”

Looking at Liu Ruyan, who was crying her eyes out, Rick felt a pang of pity and looked at Shen Youchu.

Shen Youchu, however, disagreed.

“Ruyan only has me as her older sister here. If you have feelings for her, please let her come with me. I can’t bear to see her all alone here. I know you have other women, but you saved my life. In my 24 years, I, Shen Youchu, have never asked anyone for anything. I hope you will take her in for my sake. She’s only 20 years old. She has a bright future ahead of her. I don’t want to see her die a miserable death here. So, Rick, I’m begging you. Please agree for my sake.”

“Sister Youchu…”

"Ruyan, be good, he'll agree. If he dares to disagree, I'll treat him to a rattan cane tonight!"

“Sister Youchu, you don’t need to make things difficult for yourself. I’m fine on my own. You don’t need to make things difficult for Brother Rui.”

Hearing this, Rick walked over and said.

"What did you just call me?"

Hearing Rick's words, Liu Ruyan wiped away her tears and said.

"Brother Rui, what's wrong?"

"What should you call me?"

Upon hearing Rick's words, Shen Youchu, realizing what he meant, smiled broadly and said...

"Sister Ruyan, he's agreed, you should change your mind!"

"Change your tune? Change what tune?"

Seeing that Liu Ruyan's emotional intelligence had dropped, Rick bluntly stated his position.

"Ruyan, from now on, whatever your sister Youchu calls me, you'll call her that, understand?"

Seeing that Liu Ruyan still looked confused, Shen Youchu spoke up in a hurry.

"What a silly sister! I call him 'husband,' so what do you call him?"

Liu Ruyan then realized what was happening and rushed over to hug Rick.

"Husband~ Mua"

Liu Ruyan kissed Rick on his left cheek.

Seeing this, Shen Youchu also came over and hugged Rick.

"Husband~ Mua"

Shen Youchu kissed Rick on his right cheek.

While feeling the enthusiasm of the two women, Rick said to Yun Che, who had been crouching in the bushes and peeking for a long time.

"Brother Yun Che, thank you for taking care of my wife Ruyan. Not only have you repaid the favor you owed me, but I will also safely send you back to the Yun family in the capital. After we return to the capital, I will hold a grand wedding for Ruyan and Youchu. You must come!"

Hearing Rick's shout, the heavy weight on Yun Che's heart finally lifted. He didn't respond to Rick's words, but smiled and walked towards the villa.

Upon hearing Rick's call, Shen Youchu and Liu Ruyan blushed. They nestled on either side of Rick, imagining themselves wearing beautiful wedding dresses and receiving the blessings of their tribe with the men they loved.

After shouting those words, Rick led the two women toward the villa.
