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

After confirming that there were no zombies around the street, Rick cautiously approached the SUV with his crossbow in hand.

Rick was tense, his hand holding the crossbow tightening again. When Rick reached the driver's side door, he saw that although the driver's side window of the police SUV was full of cracks, it was not broken.

Rick reached out and knocked on the windshield, his face grave. "Hey! Is anyone still alive inside?"

As he tried to call out to the driver inside the car from outside, the car door suddenly opened, and a young man in a police uniform with a bloodied face fell out of the driver's seat.

Once Rick confirmed that there was no one else in the car, he slung the crossbow over his back and bent down to examine the person in front of him.

The young man in the police uniform raised his blood-stained hand to Rick and said, "Sir, please save me, please, I don't want to die!"

The young man pleaded with Rick, as if grasping at a straw.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Rick was torn between saving him or not. In this post-apocalyptic world, there was not only the threat of zombies, but also the distortion of humanity. In the apocalypse, blindly acting as a saint and saving people would not last long.

Although Rick thought this to himself, he didn't show it on his face and calmly said, "I know some first aid, but I don't have any medicine, so I can't save you."

Upon hearing Rick's words, the young man's eyes lit up, and he said, "There's a portable medical kit in the passenger seat of the police car! If you can save me, I'll give you anything you want!"

Rick was secretly delighted to hear this, thinking, "Hehe, I've been waiting for you to say that. Once I heal you, you and everything you have will be mine!"

At this moment, the young man was unaware that everything had been arranged by the sixth man in front of him.

Rick climbed into the car and went to the passenger seat. On the passenger seat was a box with a green cross on it. Rick picked up the box and went outside. He opened the box and found that it contained not only bandages and gauze, but also medical alcohol, antibiotics, hemostatic powder, painkillers, medical cotton swabs, and other commonly used external injury medications.

Rick laid the young man down, and with the help of his advanced medical skills, he quickly discovered the young man's problems.

"Your left shin is fractured, your left thigh is bleeding from a shard of metal embedded in it, your right arm is lacerated but fortunately no arteries are damaged, and a blood vessel in your nose has ruptured and is bleeding. These problems wouldn't have been a big deal before the apocalypse, but now that it's the apocalypse, these problems are extremely difficult to solve and could cost you your life."

Upon hearing Rick's words, the young man was stunned for a moment, then said, "Are you a doctor? Please, save me! If you heal me, you can ask for anything. I don't want to die!"

Rick ignored what the young man said, picked up medical alcohol and cotton swabs, disinfected and stopped the bleeding while saying to him, "Alright, your problem is tricky, but you haven't been abandoned by Lady Luck, allowing you to meet me in your time of need."

Hearing Rick's words, the young man's eyes lit up with hope, and he said to Rick, "Thank you, sir. My name is Marvin Foster, and I work for the Kings County Police Department. I'm currently a first-class police officer."

Rick paused slightly upon hearing "King County Police Department," but continued his treatment without stopping. He then said, "My name is Rick, I'm Chinese, and I'm here in America for tourism."

Upon hearing Rick's words, Marvin was taken aback for a moment, then said to Rick, "Mr. Rick, it's a pleasure to meet you. To be honest, there is also a sheriff named Rick in my police station. He is white, just like me. However, he was injured by a group of thugs while on duty two months before the zombie virus outbreak and has been hospitalized ever since, his fate still unknown."

Rick wasn't surprised to hear this, after all, the main character of The Walking Dead, Sheriff Rick Grimes, and his best friend, Officer Sean Wales, both came from Kingsshire Police Department.

"Oh? Then Officer Marvin, do you know a First Class Constable named Sean Wales?" Rick asked while busying himself.

Marvin was surprised upon hearing this, then replied, "Mr. Rick, you know Officer Sean too? To be honest, when I was still a trainee officer, I studied at the shooting range where Officer Sean worked part-time. Back then, Officer Sean was my shooting instructor. I owe my rapid promotion from trainee to full-fledged Constable to Officer Sean's recommendation." Marvin lit a cigarette, took a puff, and gazed at the azure sky with a nostalgic expression.

Rick wasn't surprised. He noticed the calluses on Marvin's hands from frequent gun training, so he guessed that Marvin's shooting skills were quite good. Although they weren't at the level of his own advanced shooting proficiency, Marvin was trained by Sean and became a full-fledged police officer only because of his recommendation.

With that thought, Rick completed the final treatment, and then the system's mission completion notification sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest "Rescue Marvin Foster, the driver trapped in a police SUV"]

[Ding! Side quest reward "M14Crazy Horse x1" has been issued. The host can claim it from the system space at any time.]

A weapon with a cool gray-black design and multiple Picatinny rails appeared in the system space.

Rick helped Marvin up from the ground and said to him, "Officer Marvin, what are your plans now? You don't look like someone who can just wander around like that."

Upon hearing this, Marvin raised his uninjured right hand, scratched his head, and replied, "I have nowhere to go for now. In my current state, I really don't know what I would do if I encountered zombies."

Rick was delighted to hear this, then dusted himself off and said to Marvin, "Officer Marvin, given that you can't handle your injuries alone, and considering this zombie-infested apocalypse, I suggest we work together. You've seen my wound-treating skills. Your injuries are not suitable for strenuous exercise; you need to find a safe environment to rest for a while, otherwise this pain will kill you."

Marvin frowned slightly upon hearing this, staring at the road as he pondered.

Five minutes later, Marvin said, "It's possible, but I have one condition that I hope you can agree to. If you can agree to this condition, everything will be fine."

Rick frowned slightly upon hearing this, though he was displeased, he didn't show it. He then replied, "Then tell me?"

Marvin: "Mr. Rick, I hope you can come with me to King County Hospital. I know that Sheriff Grimes is in that hospital (I will not call him Rick here, but Grimes to distinguish him from the protagonist of this story and the protagonist of The Walking Dead). Although the chances are slim, I still want to go and confirm, after all, I promised his wife and son that I would take good care of him."

Rick was thinking to himself, "This plot isn't right. There's no such person as Marvin Foster in the original Walking Dead, right? Although he's Rick and Shane's colleague, how did he know Carl and Lori? Could it be that my time travel here caused a butterfly effect? ​​Some characters who didn't appear in the original show have suddenly appeared?"

Rick then smiled and extended his right hand to Marvin, replying, "Deal! If you stay by my side, I guarantee I'll restore you to your previous healthy state!"

Upon hearing this, Marvin's eyes lit up. He then extended his right hand and shook Rick's right hand, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Rick. You can just call me Marvin from now on. My shooting skills are no worse than Officer Sean's. As long as I find the gun, I will prove myself to be an excellent shooting officer!"

The two shook hands, and then Rick's system voice sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the advanced mission "Recruit Marvin Foster, the driver trapped inside a police SUV"]

[Ding! The side quest reward "M14Crazy Horse Fully Equipped Voucher x1" has been issued. The host can claim it from the system space at any time.]

After seeing the mission reward arrive, Rick didn't rush to retrieve it from the system space. Instead, he picked up the crossbow from his back and said to Marvin, "It's not safe outside now. The impact was quite loud and will definitely attract zombies. The explosion-proof roller shutter door of this shop is very sturdy. Let's go into this shop and rest for the night."

Upon hearing this, Marvin nodded, then picked up the iron bar next to him and, leaning on it, limped after Rick into the shop.
