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

17 PM

Attic of a church in the North Side of Atlanta

Rick took out a camping stove from his personal storage space.

Looking at Mieko, who was still playing with the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle, Rick asked gently, "Honey, what do you want to eat tonight? Your husband will make it for you."

Upon hearing this, Mihoko playfully replied, "Anything is fine with me, as long as my husband makes it, I'll love it!"

Mihoko knew Rick's cooking skills. Although her own cooking skills weren't great, Rick had a lot of skills. Just the three simple dishes he made last time—stir-fried potatoes, green peppers with beef, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes—were enough to make Mihoko linger.

She had never eaten such delicious food in her entire life. Apart from the various grilled meats and Korean kimchi dishes she ate at her mother Park Mi-ri's Korean BBQ restaurant when she was a child, the only other type of food she had ever eaten was the clumsy and simple Japanese food made by her father.

Upon hearing this, Rick looked around and saw that the ground was littered with broken zombie bodies and limbs.

Although neither of them was stained with blood, the stench of blood still wafted into the attic.

Looking at the scene before him, Rick shook his head helplessly and said to Mihoko, "Honey, let's cook dinner later. I'll go downstairs and collect the bodies and limbs of these zombies first, otherwise the stench of blood in the air will greatly affect the taste of the food."

Mieko nodded upon hearing this and asked Rick, "Do you need my help?"

Rick shook his head and said, "No need, honey, I'll go down and clear it out quickly. You familiarize yourself with this gun first, and if you see any lone zombies, just use the new gun to take them out."

Mihoko shook her head, a rare occurrence for her, and said, "No, honey, I can't do it."

Rick looked at his beautiful young wife with suspicion and asked, "Mieko, you were great at killing zombies before, why can't you do it now? Is there a problem?"

This time, Mieko nodded and said, "Yes, there is a problem."

Rick: "What's the problem?"

Mieko stood up and walked up to Rick, who looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Mihoko raised her right hand and slapped Rick on the head, saying, "You idiot husband, how am I supposed to fight zombies if you don't give me ammo? You give me a gun but not ammo, are you crazy?"

Rick, startled by the slap, suddenly realized what had happened. Scratching the back of his head, he grinned and said, "Hehe, my wife's right. I was careless and didn't consider that, hehe."

瑞克说完，立刻打开了系统商城，消耗20点积分兑换了10盒(每盒2积分每盒100发)9x39毫米口径亚音速穿甲弹，瑞克拿出其中的五盒递给了美惠子。

Rick personally taught Mieko the precautions and tips for using the Goose Weapon.

Meanwhile, Mieko stood beside Rick, studying diligently like a well-behaved little white rabbit.

fifteen minutes later

Rick taught Mieko all the important points and even gave her the 100 rounds of 40mm M203 high-explosive grenades he had previously kept.

Rick came down to the ground and began the cleanup work.

Mieko, on the other hand, loads the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle's magazine with exclusive armor-piercing rounds.

However, Rick, who was picking up the zombie bodies below, had no idea that danger was so close to him.

On the second floor of a nearby coffee shop, a dark gun barrel was pointed at Rick, and the weapon the gunman was holding was a Remington M700 bolt-action shotgun.

The gunman was observing Rick through the scope, staring at him with a look of utter disbelief.

Meanwhile, Rick continued to collect the zombie's body without noticing anything amiss.

Rick touched the zombie's body, and the zombie's body vanished into thin air.

Rick, however, remained oblivious to the gunman watching him, continuing to busy himself with his own affairs.

The gunman muttered to himself, "Damn it, how is this possible? Why do the zombie bodies he touched just disappear into thin air? Is he doing magic?"

With this question in mind, the gunman moved his position and slowly crept towards a location further ahead.

Just as he arrived at the cake shop less than 100 meters from Rick.

The heartbeat detector on the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle in Mihoko's hand suddenly sounded an alarm, which startled Mihoko, who was on guard for Rick.

Mihoko activated the heartbeat detector on the side of the gun and immediately saw a white, moving target slowly moving in the northeast corner of the detector.

Seeing this, Mihoko didn't take any chances. She immediately set up the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle at the attic window, and then slowly looked towards the target's position according to the heartbeat detector, but saw nothing.

Mieko wasn't in a hurry; instead, she continued to observe in that direction.

Mihoko activated the thermal imaging mode on the Nightcrawler scope. The moment the thermal imaging was activated, she saw a heat source on a trash can not far ahead through the thermal imaging mode in the Nightcrawler scope.

Mieko rubbed her right eye and then switched back to normal mode, but all she could see from that position was complete darkness.

Mihoko switched back to thermal imaging mode, and saw that the heat source had pulled out a bolt-action shotgun and was pointing it at Rick. Seeing this, Mihoko aimed directly at the heat source's head, but just then, Rick sent Mihoko a message through telepathy.

Rick: "Honey, don't kill him. Shoot his right hand first, then his left foot to incapacitate him."

Upon hearing this, Mihoko replied, "Okay, honey, lie down first, and I'll fire the gun later."

Rick: "No, honey, watch my fingers move in a minute."

Although Mihoko was somewhat puzzled, she didn't think too much about it and agreed with Rick.

At this moment, Rick heard that the body collection work had stopped, and he stood up and slowly turned towards the gunman.

The gunman muttered under his breath, "Damn it, he spotted me."

He gripped the gun tighter, cold sweat pouring from his forehead and palms.

Even so, he still did not leave the bunker he was in.

Seeing this, Rick raised his arm towards the gunman's direction, his raised hand changing into a pistol position, aiming at the gunman.

The gunman's face froze. He saw that the man's gesture clearly indicated that a sniper nearby had already taken aim at them.

Instead of continuing to aim at the man, he began searching around for possible hiding spots for snipers.

Rick chuckled and said to the gunman's hiding place, "Aren't you tired of watching for so long? Why don't you come closer and see how I conjure objects from a distance?"

Upon hearing this, the gunman's forehead veins bulged. He knew he had been completely discovered, and that the other party knew his intentions. It was possible that the other party had deliberately put on a show for him to lure him out so that they could capture him in one fell swoop. This was truly a vicious trap.

Seeing that the gunman was ignoring him, Rick texted Mihoko, "Honey, I'm going to count to three. When I get to one, you shoot him right hand, the one holding the gun. Remember, you have to hit his right hand. If you hit any other part, you're out of a husband."

Hearing this, Mieko tightened her grip on the sniper rifle, then replied, "Don't worry, honey, I, Mieko Nohara, will never allow such a thing to happen."

Hearing this, Rick said to Mihoko, "Relax, honey. Just think of it as a zombie. Don't feel any pressure. Trust your eyes and your hands. You can do it."

Upon hearing Rick's words, Mieko took a deep breath and then focused her attention, aiming at the target's right hand.

Rick, seeing that the gunman was ignoring him, said to the gunman's direction, "I'll count to three. If you don't come out and surrender, then you can prepare to die on the spot."

The gunman was in a panic. He couldn't find the sniper's hiding place, and his scope was completely obscured in the dark, making it impossible to see the enemy's location, let alone Mieko, who was standing in the church attic and blended into the background of the window.

When Rick saw that his threat had no effect, he stretched out his other hand and raised three fingers toward the sky.

Seeing this, the gunman pointed his gun directly at Rick, glaring fiercely at Rick's arrogant expression.

He remained silent, believing the other party was bluffing. After all, he couldn't even aim properly in such dim lighting, let alone with the green metal trash can as cover.

Rick had no idea what the other person was thinking; he simply started the countdown on his own.

The gunman aimed the crosshairs through the scope at Rick's head, thinking that if no gunshot was fired when the countdown ended, he would pull the trigger and kill this bastard who dared to mess with him.

However, he failed to realize that he had become a lamb to the slaughter.

Just then, Rick's countdown ended, and he pointed his finger at the gunman's location, making a firing gesture.

Upon receiving the signal to fire, Mieko pulled the trigger of the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle.

A crisp sound rang out from the muzzle of the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle.

A 9x39mm subsonic armor-piercing round flew out of the muzzle.

In an instant, the bullet struck the gunman's right hand with perfect accuracy.

Under the immense penetrating power of the 9x39mm subsonic armor-piercing round, the gunman's right hand, along with the weapon he was holding, was knocked away in an instant.

Before the gunman could react, he lost feeling in his right hand and was shoved against the wall next to the trash can by the impact.

Then, a scream that echoed through the street rang out, and Rick texted Mieko, "That was a great shot. I'll add a chicken leg to your dinner tonight."

Mihoko was overjoyed to hear this. She herself had no confidence in the shot. She even thought that if the shot missed and her man was killed by the gunman on the other side, what reason would she have to continue living?

Fortunately, all of this was just my imagination and did not happen.

Hearing Rick's praise, Mihoko felt a sweet warmth in her heart and immediately replied, "Then I'd like to eat two."

Rick replied, "Don't say two, I'll eat as many as you want, my sharpshooter wife."

When Mihoko heard Rick say "sharpshooter wife," she was immediately motivated. She vowed to work hard to hone her marksmanship and truly become the sharpshooter her husband had described.

Rick, seeing that it was about time, walked toward the trash can where the screams had come from.
