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

midnight

Blood-red full moon

Abandoned quarry camp

The horde of zombies continued to advance towards the camp, but thanks to the constant barrage of accurate snipers, hundreds of zombies had already been killed on the outskirts of the jungle.

At this moment, Rick's points rose to 100 as the zombies continued to die. Rick immediately spent 50 points to exchange for 50 boxes of 7.62mm caliber ammunition, which materialized in the large ammunition cabinet of the tactical MTVR.

Rick's tactical MTVR contains a total of 5 large ammunition cabinets: one for 7.62mm, one for 9mm, one for 5.56mm, one for .45mm, and one empty.

Rick's current task is to exchange all his points for ammunition in the early stages to ensure that he is not forced into close combat due to insufficient ammunition. Although Rick knows that many of these people are not proficient in using firearms, as long as they know how to aim and reload, the problem of bullets is not a concern. After all, 1 point can be exchanged for 100 rounds. Rick does not believe that these people cannot kill two zombies with 100 bullets.

Thinking of this, Rick went to the roof of the car, took out his military tactical binoculars, switched to thermal imaging mode, and looked into the distance. He saw that heat sources were constantly approaching from afar, seemingly endless. Not only from the southwest, but also from every direction attracted by the gunfire, zombies were coming. Some zombies even forced their way through the raging river towards this place, as if something in the camp was deliberately attracting the zombies.

thirty minutes later

Rick's points had reached 300. He spent another 100 points to exchange for 100 boxes of 7.62mm ammunition, which he placed in a large 7.62mm ammunition cabinet. This large ammunition cabinet was a high-tech ammunition cabinet that Rick had exchanged for 10 points. The cabinet could hold 1000 boxes of 100 rounds each of 7.62mm ammunition. The cabinet itself didn't look very big, but with the system's high-tech enhancements, it was like an inexhaustible ammunition cabinet. Moreover, this thing had a cognitive shielding function. Anyone other than Rick would have their location record erased after taking ammunition from the cabinet. Even if someone discovered that the ammunition was inexhaustible, their memory would be erased when they took out the first box. Therefore, Rick wasn't worried at all about his high-tech equipment being exposed.

This ammunition cabinet is a piece of advanced technology provided by the arms sales system after Rick unlocked it, making it easier for Rick to carry out arms sales missions.

five minutes later

Rick's points rose to 300 again, but he didn't rush to spend them. While browsing the system shop, he saw a newly added item: "Weapon Upgrade Card," which cost 300 points each.

Upon seeing the item, Rick mentally called out to the system, "System, system, what is this weapon upgrade card?"

[Ding! Replying to the host, this card can upgrade the weapons you've registered outside of Escape from Kentucky (i.e., weapons in this world) to have the same diverse DIY functions as weapons from Escape from Kentucky. Weapons from Escape from Kentucky, after use, can be upgraded from ordinary to advanced, and from advanced to top-tier. However, the number of cards required for each upgrade varies: upgrading a non-Escape from Kentucky weapon to ordinary requires 1 card, from ordinary to advanced requires 3 cards, from advanced to top-tier requires 5 cards, and from top-tier to special requires 10 cards!]

Upon hearing that there was such a thing as a "Special Class," Rick immediately inquired of the system, "System, system, what level of existence is a Special Class?"

[Ding, in response to the host, Special-grade weapons belong to the conceptual level. For example, the "Black Gold Grenade Launcher" that the host had modeled before his death is a Special-grade weapon. It can be said that this thing is the blackest of black technologies. There are also Special-grade under-mounted hurricane multi-functional under-mounted launchers. These are all Special-grade weapons. As long as even one of them exists in this world, the host will be able to sweep away everything. There is no power in this world that can resist the existence of Special-grade weapons.]

Rick: "System, system, you've said so much, so here's the question: how do you obtain special-grade weapons? How many points are needed for one?"

[Ding! Answering the host, based on the current storyline, the host cannot obtain special-grade weapons. The host needs to complete a series of tasks to unlock them. In addition, special-grade weapons can no longer be exchanged with points, but with Fate Points.]

Rick: "System, system, what are Fate Points? How do I get them?"

[Ding! Answering the host, Fate Points are points gained by the host in the main storyline after starting from the prison, where the fate of some original characters is altered. For example, some members who should have followed the original protagonist group in the original story were killed or turned into zombies due to the host's actions. Some villains in the original story became the host's subordinates or were conquered by the host and became friendly forces. The host can obtain Fate Points in this way. Eventually, when the host has accumulated a certain number of Fate Points, the host can exchange them for special weapons.]

Rick: "System, system, can Destiny Points be exchanged in other ways, like points or something?"

[Ding! Answering the host, yes, it is possible. As long as the host unlocks the universal recycling function, after completing a series of tasks, it is possible to unlock the conversion of points into Destiny Points. However, the points required to exchange for Destiny Points are extremely high, so please be mentally prepared.]

Having finished speaking

Rick stopped dwelling on it. He knew these things were beyond his reach, so he decided to focus on the present.

The battle was extremely intense. Under the onslaught of a large number of zombies, the area around the camp was littered with zombie corpses. Some of the corpses were even piled up to form a small bunker, severely hindering the marksmen from sniping the horde of zombies.

Some zombies have even made their way through the zombie bunkers to the first line of defense.

Seeing this, Rick shouted down, "Everyone, fire freely! We absolutely cannot let the zombies reach the walls! Anyone without ranged weapons, come to the tactical MTVR and help load ammo!"

Instantly, the people standing around the camp walls, armed with AR15s, began firing at the zombies held back by the wooden stake and spike traps at the first line of defense. The dense firepower quickly turned the charging zombies into sieves. Even some novices with poor marksmanship gradually mastered the shooting skills under continuous fire. Even Carol, who had no shooting experience, quickly mastered the shooting skills after hundreds of bullets. Although she was not shooting as fast as the others, her accuracy was very good, and she could blow a zombie's head off almost every time she fired.

Seeing Carol's performance, Rick knew that this was a natural talent she possessed, and he felt even more fortunate that he had brought her into his army.

To prevent panic in case of an emergency, Rick specifically sought out Sean and said to him, "Sean, I heard from Marvin that you used to be a shooting instructor, is that true?"

Sean: "Boss, I did work as a shooting instructor. I was the one who trained Marvin."

Rick: "Very good. Take this AR15 and the M14 Crazy Horse and go to the walls around the camp to instruct everyone on shooting, especially some newbies who have just touched a gun. If you meet some people who you think have a lot of shooting talent, send me their names after this battle. In the army I form, you will be the shooting training instructor. Any questions?"

Sean: "No! Sir!"

Rick: "Very good, Instructor Sean, carry out my orders."

Sean was about to leave when Rick, remembering something, stopped him and asked, "Sean, have you seen Grimes and Carl? I haven't seen them in the camp since the luncheon at noon. Do you know where they are?"

Upon hearing this, Sean scratched his head and said, "Boss, actually I'm looking for him too. I discussed it with Lori, and there are some things we need to explain to him, but I haven't seen Karl since he said he was going to go see Grimes after breakfast this morning."

Rick: "In that case, let's wait until the battle is over. You go and instruct the men below."

Sean: "Okay, boss."

After saying that, Sean stepped out of the tactical MTVR and walked towards the surrounding city walls.

Rick picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Rick calling Daryl, Rick calling Daryl, please respond, over."

Daryl was trapped in a large tree, with dozens of zombie corpses below and more than a dozen zombies surrounding the tree. Each zombie had bloodshot eyes staring intently at Daryl in the tree, who was now out of ammunition and food.

Due to his carelessness, zombies passed by the tree he was in, but Daryl didn't pay any attention and continued firing from his perch. However, when he ran out of bullets and prepared to return, he found himself surrounded by dozens of zombies. Each zombie reached out and grabbed at Daryl, who was sitting in the tree. Seeing this, Daryl desperately used his last 10 crossbow bolts to fire at the zombies below, but the number of zombies far exceeded Daryl's bolt count. In this way, Daryl ran out of bolts and bullets and sat in the tree waiting to die. But when he heard Rick calling him, he didn't hesitate and immediately took out his walkie-talkie and replied, "This is Daryl, Rick. I'm surrounded and in trouble. I've used up all my bullets and bolts and I'm completely out of ammo. I need your help!"

Seeing this, Rick said, "What's going on over there? Didn't I tell you to come back after you finished shooting the steel balls? How come you're stuck in a tree? What's the situation over there? And are the zombies still endlessly coming here?"

Daryl: "No, the zombie horde in the southwest is almost over. As for my situation, it's my own fault, but I don't want to talk about it!"

Hearing Daryl's stubborn refusal, Rick smiled helplessly and said, "I'll be there soon. Just wait for me where you are."

Having finished speaking

Rick saw that he had reached 500 points, and without hesitation, he spent 300 points to exchange for 300 boxes of 5.56mm caliber ammunition, which he put into his large ammunition cabinet.

Rick materialized a .50 Beowulf assault rifle from the space, then opened the Escape from Kentucky DIY interface. He replaced the underbarrel crossbow with an underbarrel M203 grenade launcher, and spent 10 points from the system store to exchange for a box of 40mm high-explosive grenades (100 rounds per box).

After doing all this, Rick, carrying a tactical crossbow, ran towards Daryl's location, braving the ever-attacking horde of zombies.
