The Walking Dead: I Sell Arms as a Sixth-Rate Seller in the Apocalypse
Chapter 43 A Battleground! A Major Emotional Crisis! Poor Daryl! The Three Sisters Reconcile!
10:00 AM
The Spike Motel is located 5 km from the entrance to Atlanta's East Side.
Rick realized he had missed a reward, so he summoned the system to read the news.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest: "Eliminate all zombies around the camp before the Crimson Full Moon ends."]
[Ding! Mission reward: "Escape from Kentucky Weapon Copy Card" has been unlocked. The host can redeem it using points in the system shop.]
Rick: "Great! Now I can save a lot of points to exchange for weapons."
With that in mind, Rick didn't hesitate and immediately opened the system shop to find the weapon copy card. When he saw that the price was only 300, Rick didn't hesitate and bought one directly. Immediately, the system notification sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have spent 300 points to redeem the item "Selectable Weapon Copy Card" x1. This item has been placed in your system space, and you can collect and use it at any time.]
When Rick saw that he only had 400 points left, he sighed, "These points disappear so quickly. They're gone as soon as I buy something. I guess I'll have to find a way to start a business."
After lamenting that he didn't have enough points, Rick began a thorough cleaning, but this time he summoned the system.
Rick: "System, system, is there anything that can recycle and reuse these zombie corpses?"
[Ding! Host, you can exchange 100 points in the system shop for a high-tech fully automatic recycling machine. Although this machine is not as powerful as the universal recycling function, it can recycle a lot of useless waste into various raw materials. For example, zombie corpses can produce "Zombie Gold Fertilizer", or "Zombie Fermentation Gas" which can be used as fuel for power generation, and "Zombie Smell Disguise Gas" which can be used to mask odors and thus better blend into the zombie horde, etc.]
Upon seeing this, Rick didn't hesitate and immediately redeemed one.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have spent 100 points to redeem the item "High-Tech Fully Automatic Recycling Machine". It has been placed in your personal space. Simply place the items you wish to recycle next to the machine.]
Having finished speaking
Before anyone woke up, Rick went straight to the pile of corpses. He saw that the entire hotel was filled with flies and the stench of blood. Rick pinched his nose and collected all the shattered bodies and organs of the zombies into his personal space.
In no time, Rick had finished collecting all the body parts. Apart from the black and red bloodstains all over the ground, which he couldn't do, Rick spent an hour completing everything else, both what he should and shouldn't have done.
11 am
The three gradually woke up, each with a face full of energy. However, only Daryl, that idiot, was still fast asleep. Even the earth-shattering gunshots that Rick made yesterday when he killed zombies with the Beowulf assault rifle couldn't wake Daryl.
Rick ignored Daryl, who was still fast asleep, and went to the relatively clean kitchen in the motel. He then went into his personal storage space and took out a five-person serving of fresh vegetables and steaks. Rick then began to prepare the ingredients in the kitchen. After the ingredients were prepared, Rick turned on the stove and began to cook.
However, Rick couldn't light the stove. Frustrated, he went outside to find a relatively safe spot and set up a campfire. He then took the kitchen utensils from the kitchen to the campfire and began cooking over it.
ten minutes later
An enticing fragrance wafted around them. Mihoko, Maggie, and Beth had just finished washing up in the bathroom when they smelled the fragrance and walked towards the source of it.
Rick had prepared four dishes in total: stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers; scrambled eggs with tomatoes; stir-fried sliced meat; and stir-fried lamb with scallions.
When Rick placed the four dishes on the outdoor table, the three women were already sitting there waiting for him.
Looking at the four dishes that had been prepared, the three women couldn't wait any longer. However, among the people present, only Mihoko and Rick knew how to use chopsticks, while Maggie and Beth could only use forks and spoons.
Seeing the two girls sulking because they couldn't use chopsticks to eat quickly like Mieko and themselves, Rick and Mieko exchanged glances and then began to teach Maggie and Beth how to use chopsticks, one at a time.
Fortunately, the two girls learned very quickly. In just a few minutes, Rick and Mihoko taught Maggie and Beth how to use chopsticks.
thirty minutes later
The four people, having eaten and drunk their fill, sat at an outdoor table, enjoying a brief moment of peace.
At this moment, Mieko leaned against her man, looking at him with a heart full of unease. She felt as if it were all a dream. A man she liked had taken the opportunity to confess his love to her and even married her without any formalities. Touching the ring on her hand, a sweet sense of happiness appeared on Mieko's face. However, this scene was witnessed by Maggie and Beth, and their friendship quickly fell apart.
Maggie had noticed the strange relationship between Mieko and Rick before, but she hadn't shown any reaction because Mieko was her and Beth's sworn sister. However, Mieko's expression and ambiguous actions just now made Maggie's jealousy explode. She immediately scolded Mieko, "Mieko, Beth and I treat you like a sister. You're so shameless, sneaking up on us behind Beth's back! Tell me! What's your relationship with me?!"
Seeing Maggie's strong reaction, Mihoko was momentarily stunned and stood there dumbfounded. Rick, on the other hand, looked guilty and turned his face away, only to see Beth's innocent face.
When Rick and Beth locked eyes, Rick guiltily looked down at his feet, unable to meet Beth's gaze. Maggie witnessed this as well. Seeing her best friend and confidante, Mieko, staring blankly at her without paying attention, Maggie said to Rick, "Rick, what's going on? Where did that ring on your hand come from? Why does Mieko's ring look so much like yours? What's your relationship? Did you betray me and Beth?"
Beth initially seemed fine, but when she heard Maggie say, "Did you betray me and Beth?", her mind immediately conjured up the thought, "Did you betray Beth?"
Thinking of this, Beth instantly transformed into a little witch, rushing to Rick's side and grabbing his ear to scold him: "You, Rick, having me isn't enough, you actually dare to betray me. Then I'll show you what happens when you betray a Green family woman."
In that instant, Mieko, who was still in a daze, came to her senses and asked Maggie and Beth, "Sister Maggie, Sister Beth, what were you two just talking about? Especially what did Sister Beth mean when she said that my husband 'wasn't satisfied with having Sister Beth, but instead betrayed her?'"
Maggie and Beth both exclaimed at the same time, "What? Your husband?" Upon hearing Mieko's words, Maggie and Beth were first taken aback, then flew into a rage and began to attack Mieko.
Maggie fired first, saying, "Well, Mieko, Beth and I consider you our sister and best friend. You're really something, daring to steal from our house! You're really something!"
Beth then said, "Sister Mihoko, Maggie and I gave our first time to Rick. Rick promised us that he would only love Maggie and me. But I really didn't expect that you two would even exchange rings. It seems that you really don't take us Green sisters seriously."
Hearing this, Mieko understood what was going on. Her face turned cold, and she grabbed Rick's other ear, saying, "Well, you big-eyed bastard, you confessed your love to me and proposed to me first. After I accepted, you took my virginity. I didn't expect you to have done this with Maggie and Beth before. Since you dare to do this, I'll show you the power of the Nohara family."
Having finished speaking
Mihoko's grip on Rick's ear tightened, and Rick, already pale from being tormented by these two, immediately gave Maggie a pleading look.
When Maggie saw this, she pretended not to see it and turned her head to the side. This made Rick, whose ears were already about to fall off from being pulled by Mihoko and Beth, feel uneasy. He then pleaded, "Gentlemen, be gentle, be gentle. If you keep pulling, all three of you men will lose your ears."
Hearing Rick's words, the two slowed down their ear-pulling. Seeing that he had a chance, Rick's survival instinct kicked in, and he said to the three of them, "My wives, I will treat all three of you well. Since Mieko can marry me, then the two of you can marry me too. I promise that from now on I will only treat the three of you well. If I break this promise, may I be struck by lightning!"
After saying this, Mieko and Beth relaxed and released Rick's ears. Whether it was Maggie, Mieko, or Beth, they all understood that a man as outstanding as Rick would be highly sought after in this dangerous, zombie-infested apocalypse. If the three sisters didn't keep a close eye on him, sooner or later, this man would have more women and abandon them. Thinking of this, Maggie, Mieko, and Beth's expressions softened, and they asked in unison, "Can we still trust you?"
Rick's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. He then stood up straight, raised his hand to swear, and declared to the heavens: "I, Rick, swear to God! If I betray my three wives, Maggie Green, Mieko Nohara, and Beth Green, and continue to seek other women, may God punish me and strike me dead with a bolt of lightning!"
After speaking, Rick looked at the three women with a solemn expression, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But at that moment, fate, like a capricious madman, played a second joke on Rick after he had made his oath. Just as Rick lowered his hand after making the oath, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the tree next to him in the bright sunshine, instantly igniting the tree. Everyone witnessed the scene. Rick was speechless with disbelief. He had genuinely meant it when he made the oath; protecting these three women for the rest of his life was enough. But the lightning was too uncooperative, striking down right after he made the oath. Now, he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Seeing this, the three women's faces went from dark lines to flashing murderous intent. They then approached Rick step by step. Rick, seeing this, retreated while explaining, "Um, my three wives, I'm serious. That lightning was just an accident. You see, it didn't hit me, did it? If I were really that kind of womanizing jerk, that lightning would have hit me, hahaha." Rick scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly as he retreated.
The three women ignored Rick and approached him step by step. Seeing this, Rick didn't think twice and ran towards the motel.
Daryl had just woken up. He opened his door, stretched in the sun, and saw a scene that shocked him all day: three beautiful women were chasing a man, and coincidentally, the man was running in his direction.
Daryl stood there, stunned, watching the scene unfold. Rick, seeing Daryl emerge, ignored him and rushed into Daryl's room, instantly locking the door behind him. He then said to Daryl, "Daryl, those three women outside are my wives. I promise you, if you can help me calm them down and make them stop being angry, I'll give you another pack of cigarettes as a token of my gratitude!"
Daryl said upon hearing this, "What? Three wives? Boss, you're quite the player. Alright, I'll take care of this."
After Daryl finished speaking, he stood deep inside the doorway and made a stop gesture with his left hand. The three women then came to Daryl.
Seeing this, Daryl said, "Gentlemen, please, for my sake... Ahhhhhh, don't hit my face! Go easy! Ouch! Don't kick there! Let's talk this out!"
Before Daryl could finish speaking, he was pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by the three angry men. Mieko, in particular, vented all her pent-up anger on Daryl. Beth and Maggie were not to be outdone, and they unleashed a barrage of uncontrolled punches and kicks on Daryl.
Daryl was being brutally beaten on the ground while clutching his head and begging for mercy. This scene terrified Rick, who was peeking through the peephole behind the door. He never expected that he would provoke these three tough women just because he couldn't control his second brain. Moreover, these three tough women were best friends, and they even had a clear division of labor when it came to beating each other up.
Looking at Daryl, who was being brutally beaten on the ground, Rick silently mourned for him for two and a half seconds. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he couldn't afford to mess with him. After all, he was a traditional Chinese man, and he couldn't bring himself to hit a woman, especially his own wife. Besides, he was in the wrong.
Thinking of this, Rick stopped thinking about it and listened quietly at the door. As Daryl's voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared, Rick opened the door. Seeing that the three women had calmed down, Rick led them back into the room. Then he took out two more high-tech rings and put them on Maggie and Beth's hands.
Seeing the rings that matched Mieko's, Maggie and Beth softened their attitude towards Rick. Seeing this, Rick described the high-tech ring's function to Maggie and Beth, just as he had described it to Mieko, and even instructed them not to let anyone else know about its existence. Maggie and Beth were initially amazed by the ring's function, but then, remembering their extraordinary love for this man, they readily accepted. Rick took the opportunity to hug the three of them, kissing each of them repeatedly and making promises. This time, without incident, they forgave Rick.
afterwards
Maggie, Mieko, and Beth's relationship has returned to its previous state of being best friends.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Rick took Daryl, who had been beaten unconscious, and his three wives and drove his Ford F-150 four-door pickup truck toward the abandoned quarry camp.
