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

14pm sharp.

South of Galveston, Texas, aboard the USS Hunter, a nuclear-powered aircraft submarine.

After Rick briefly introduced the ship's features to everyone, he led them to the dormitory area.

After system upgrades, the submarine now has the number of rooms comparable to a giant luxury cruise ship, with 10 elevator floors and 20 rooms on each floor.

Because the system has a memory jammer, the people who entered the submarine did not suspect anything suspicious about the ship.

Rick immediately called it a systemic thinking cycle, saving him the trouble of making up excuses to explain to everyone.

Rick had already set his course to Annapolis, east of Washington, D.C., where he was going to Philadelphia, the city where the Citizens Republic was located, to find Major General Jonathan Bill to select personnel for his bodyguard and the Shadow Legion's combat troops.

After setting the route, Rick assigned rooms to the others, and then led Liu Ruyan and Shen Youchu to their room, a room Rick had specially reserved for them.

The room's layout was consistent with that of the captain's lounge where Mieko and Misaki were located.

Seeing the two comfortable beds and various video game consoles and other entertainment facilities, the two girls were extremely excited. They immediately pulled Rick into various interactive games until Rick surrendered and divided his long-stored food equally among the two girls, only then did they let Rick go.

Although the process was somewhat bumpy, everyone gained a lot.

Rick opened the system shop, spending 800 points on two space rings, another 800 points on two high-tech loader devices, and 4000 points on two top-tier special forces king physique enhancement cards and two gun master proficiency cards. He used these on Liu Ruyan and Shen Youchu. Watching his points balance decrease, Rick didn't feel like he'd lost out at all. It was all money he spent on his wives, so no matter how expensive it was, it was worth it.

A moment later, Liu Ruyan and Shen Youchu felt a surge of knowledge about firearms and weapons in their minds, as well as a powerful force emanating from their bodies.

Rick personally presented the two women with two spatial rings and explained their uses and his own magical powers to them.

Seeing how powerful the man they had chosen was, Liu Ruyan and Shen Youchu's love for him deepened even further.

So the two women changed their clothes, and Rick started a live-action game.

The result was obvious. Even if Rick was strong, he couldn't beat Liu Ruyan and Shen Youchu, whose strength was similar to his own after being enhanced. After only a few rounds, he was pinned to the ground and beaten by the two women until he was covered in wounds before they let him go.

..........

Silent all night.

The next morning, Rick looked at the bruises and wounds on his body and was about to take out a bottle of basic recovery potion from his upgraded personal space when the system's emotionless, cold, mechanical voice rang out.

[Ding! Detected that the host's wives, "Liu Ruyan" and "Shen Youchu," have each given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.]

"Holy crap, no way, just like Mieko and Misaki? She got pregnant on her first try? When did I become so amazing?"

[Ding! This is the operation being performed by someone else; it has nothing to do with the host.]

"Holy crap, it can even operate this?"

[Ding! That's all I have to say. Please remember the saying "Too much talk leads to mistakes." This system is going back to playing cards now. Goodbye, host.]

Rick scratched his head helplessly, but accidentally bumped the still-swollen bump, making him wince in pain.

"Ouch! That hurts like hell! You really have no sense of restraint. Aren't you afraid of ruining my handsome face?"

Upon realizing that his personal space was fully upgraded, Rick couldn't wait to slip into it.

As soon as he entered, a luxurious manor appeared before Rick.

This manor was more luxurious than any manor Rick had ever seen.

The estate features silver floors, gold brick walls, and paths paved with various agates. Diamonds adorn the uniquely designed walls, and the estate is planted with every kind of fruit in the world, completely unaffected by the seasons, each displaying a ripe and beautiful appearance.

Rick walked out of the manor and found that what used to be a medicinal field had become a large area, where various precious medicinal herbs were planted. On another piece of land, various grains were grown, and the small lake had become a larger inland sea, where all kinds of fish and seafood swam. Any edible fish could be found in this inland sea.

Rick couldn't wait to get to another area, where what was once an empty meadow had now become a vast grassland.

The grassland has everything: cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, geese—anything that can run on the ground and is edible.

Upon seeing this, Rick screamed with excitement.

"Yay! From now on, I won't have to worry about not having meat to eat! Hahaha!"

Rick laughed as he walked toward the next area, and when he arrived at the area where time had stopped, he was once again shocked by what he saw.

The area where time stopped expanded several times over, and three buildings appeared.

"Granary, prison, warehouse."

Rick, filled with doubt, visited each of the three buildings.

When he arrived at the first prison closest to him, he found that all the people he had arrested were imprisoned there, and time had stopped inside, forcing them to remain motionless in one position.

This included Arnold, the leader of the Doomsday Cult, members of the Wolf Pack of the Dawn of Light organization, Atlanta City Police Chief Tompney, and a group of other prisoners.

Seeing the state of these people, Rick left the prison area with satisfaction and walked to the warehouse.

Upon entering the warehouse, Rick discovered that it wasn't an empty, empty room, but rather resembled a giant shopping mall.

A wide variety of goods are displayed in the numerous shops, including food, daily necessities and luxury items; this warehouse has everything.

When Rick walked into a beverage shop and took a bottle of Coke from the shelf, a new bottle of Coke was immediately placed in its place. However, Rick's points balance was also deducted by 1 point at that moment.

Rick immediately understood that this was not a super shopping mall with unlimited resources at all, but rather a materialized version of his system's mall, allowing people with access to his personal space to shop inside, except that he was the one who ultimately paid for everything.

Thinking about this, Rickton felt annoyed. He frowned and walked towards the last giant building with the words "Granary" written on it, after leaving the super shopping center disguised as a warehouse.

Rick breathed a sigh of relief when he entered and saw what was inside.

The granary is a huge time-stopped area, filled with all sorts of food Rick has scavenged since arriving here.

Looking at the mountain of fruits, vegetables, snacks, and the delicious dishes he had cooked, Rick left the granary and went outside.

He then followed the instructions and arrived at the vehicle parking area.

As soon as I entered, I was once again shocked by the scene before me.

A massive parking lot, capable of holding ten thousand ground vehicles, sat before Rick.

Rick activated flight mode and flew directly above the super parking lot, looking down at the ground.

Seeing that the vehicles he had collected only occupied a small corner ignited Rick's desire to collect more vehicles.

He arrived at the edge of the super parking lot and discovered that it not only had parking spaces for ground vehicles, but also helipads and airport runways for various aircraft, and even port berths for aircraft carriers and submarines were located in one area of ​​this super parking lot.

Having seen this, Rick had a general idea of ​​the upgrade environment, so he opened the upgrade announcement and looked at the features.

[1. Added flight function; the host can fly freely within this space.]

[2. Added one-click harvesting function, allowing the host to harvest fruits, vegetables, and crops with a single click and store them in the granary.]

[3. The spatial spring water now has detoxification and longevity-promoting effects. Long-term consumption can make the host or others younger (the next upgrade will add resurrection potion functions such as reviving flesh and bone)]

[4. The Super Vehicle Parking Lot now features an automatic repair and replenishment function. Vehicle wreckage or vehicles that have run out of ammunition and fuel can be repaired here using points with a single click, or automatically repaired and replenished for free after a certain period of time.]

[5. The number of access permissions for the personal space has been increased from 3 to 6.]

[6. A new body activity repair feature has been added to the Time Stop area. Hosts can place long-dead corpses here to consume points for a one-click restoration or wait for automatic restoration after a period of time. (Note: Resurrection requires the use of the Space Spirit Spring Water with the Life-and-Death Flesh and Bone Rejuvenation effect.)]

[7. Added personal space entry anchor points. Hosts can set anchor points in areas they have visited. When needed, hosts can move between any anchor point. For example, if a host sets an anchor point at the Atlanta CDC and also on the Hunter, the host can use these anchor points within their personal space to return to the outside world.]

Seeing these upgrade messages, Rick almost exploded with excitement.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! This is invincible! From now on, no matter who dies, as long as the body is still there, I can bring them back. With this space travel anchor point, I can take my wife back to my hometown in the capital by simply using the pre-set anchor point. This is so damn convenient, hahahahaha."

With that in mind, Rick made a decision.

"No matter who it is, if they disobey, I'll kill them all. If I'm in a good mood, I'll repair them in the time-stopped area; if I'm not, I'll just destroy the evidence. I'm already invincible, why should I put up with those bastards? Do they really think I'm one of those brain-dead protagonists in urban fantasy novels who like to play dumb, endure humiliation, and then get their faces slapped? You're kidding me! From this moment on, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Anyone who dares to offend me, I'll fucking never eat beef again!"

Rick left the space with satisfaction, looking at Shen Youchu and Liu Ruyan who were sleeping soundly by the bedside. Rick stroked their flat and smooth bellies.

There, his children with his two wives were conceived. Although Liu Ruyan and Shen Youchu were the goddesses admired by the original owner of this body, since his own soul had transmigrated here, he had to help the original owner fulfill his wish to have children.

Just then, Rick received a notification from Xiao Ai (Xiaomi's AI assistant): the Hunter was about to arrive in Annapolis, east of Washington, D.C.

With that thought in mind, Rick got dressed, tiptoed out of the room, and headed toward the hangar.
