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

6:00 AM

The attic of a church on a street in the North Side of Atlanta.

Dragging his tired body, Rick slowly sat up from the bed.

Seeing his beautiful wife sleeping soundly beside him, Rick felt that if things continued like this, he wouldn't be far from his death.

He rubbed his temples, then got dressed and went out of the attic.

"Rick calling Daryl, Rick calling Moore, please reply, over."

Rick stood on the street, pulled out his walkie-talkie, and repeatedly called the Dixon brothers, but all he heard from the walkie-talkie was the crackling of static.

Before dinner yesterday, Rick sent telepathic messages to Maggie and Beth, but he hasn't received a reply from either of them yet, which makes Rick feel uneasy.

After a quick wash, Rick began making breakfast.

Mieko, however, was still unconscious due to the intense fighting the previous day.

Rick used a small frying pan to make himself and Mihoko each a European-style breakfast of fried egg, sausage, and bacon sandwiches with coffee.

Mihoko's portion was kept fresh and warm in her personal storage space.

Rick savored the breakfast he had made while pondering his plans for the day.

He knew he couldn't delay any longer. He learned from the interrogation of the two men yesterday that they were from the Atlanta Police Department, but neither of them knew who the woman named Liz was, which puzzled Rick greatly.

However, the man in SWAT combat gear revealed that his teammates had seized a military truck yesterday, carrying two men and two women, who were being held at the Atlanta Police Department.

To prevent false rumors, Rick tried calling Daryl and Moore again on the walkie-talkie in the morning, but they didn't answer. Maggie and Beth's telepathic messages also went unanswered, leading Rick to believe that the soldiers arrested yesterday were indeed Moore and Daryl.

Rick decided that after dinner he would go to the Atlanta Police Department to find the person. No matter what it took, his tactical MTVR must not fall into the enemy's hands. Daryl and Moore were his future capable assistants, and he could not abandon them. There were also Beth and Maggie, who were, after all, his two wives with whom he had had physical contact. Even though he preferred Mieko, he could not let them fend for themselves.

Fifteen minutes later

Mieko got out of bed and saw the man sitting beside her deep in thought. She obediently didn't disturb him, after all, Mieko wasn't the kind of clueless princess.

"you're awake?"

Rick found Mieko awake.

"Yes, he's awake."

Mihoko stretched and looked at Rick.

"Are you hungry? I made a European-style breakfast today."

Rick patted Mieko's head and said gently.

"Thank you, honey~ mua"

Mihoko kissed Rick on the cheek.

"Alright, after you finish breakfast, we have something very important to do today, so get ready."

After Rick finished speaking, he conjured up Mihoko's breakfast from his personal space and then walked out of the church.

fifteen minutes later

Mieko arrived outside the church.

Rick saw Mieko come out and said slowly.

“Mihoko, Maggie and Beth have been captured by the group of police officers we took down yesterday. Our mission today is to go to the Atlanta Police Department to rescue them.”

"What?! Maggie and Beth have been captured? Then your car and your men are also...?"

Rick nodded, lit a cigarette, and looked at Mieko.

"Yes, the Dixon brothers were arrested too, and our car was taken away."

A fierce glint flashed in Mihoko's eyes, and she immediately materialized her VSSM Night Demon silenced sniper rifle.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's rush over and rescue them all."

Having finished speaking

Mihoko hurriedly headed towards downtown Atlanta.

Rick then manifested the Beowulf assault rifle, which followed closely behind.

7:30 am

After a journey of more than an hour, Rick and Mieko arrived at a high-rise apartment building near the police station.

The couple sneaked into the apartment building, cleared out several zombies that were pretending to be dead, and climbed the stairs to an apartment on the 25th floor facing the police station.

Seeing Mieko panting heavily, Rick opened the system shop, spent 1 point to redeem a functional beverage, and handed it to Mieko.

"Oh! I'm saved. I never want to climb stairs again."

Mihoko took a big gulp of her energy drink and immediately lay down on the sofa next to her.

Rick ignored Mieko and conjured the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle to survey the police station's terrain.

The Atlanta Police Department, which is quite large, is surrounded by two layers of security fences. There is a guard tower at each of the four corners of the police station, and each guard tower is staffed by a sniper armed with an M24 bolt-action sniper rifle.

To the west of the police station was a parking lot with many police cars, and his own tactical MTVR was in a corner of the parking lot not far from the entrance.

Just then, an armed Humvee drove into the police station, and a white man in officer's uniform and two heavily armed soldiers got out of the vehicle.

The white male officer said a few words to the soldier next to him, and then escorted another white male officer in uniform from an armed Humvee to the front of the police station.

Just then, a fat white man in a police uniform walked out of the police station. If Park Mi-ri were here, she would definitely recognize this fat white man.

The overweight white man took the officer who was being escorted over and handed him to his assistant, while he himself went into the police station with another officer.

Rick was very confused when he saw this. It was obvious that the officer being escorted must be an important person, and the officer who escorted him did not look like a good person.

Although we don't know what happened between them, Rick might be able to get what he needs from it.

With this thought in mind, Rick said to Mieko beside him.

"Mieko, I'm going to the police station. You stay here and keep watch for me. If necessary, use the Night Demon silenced sniper rifle to cover me."

"Then be careful. If you encounter danger, you must prioritize your own safety. Even if you lose the car and yourself, you must come back safely."

Mihoko looked at Rick with a worried expression, then went up to Rick and kissed his lips.

Ten seconds later

Mieko released Rick.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back. I won't let anything happen to me for your sake."

five minutes later

Outside the police station, a man dressed in SWAT combat gear and carrying a BFG-50A anti-materiel sniper rifle walked to the entrance checkpoint.

This man was Rick. He planned to blend in like this. Although he didn't know anyone here, the guards outside shouldn't suspect his identity because of his SWAT uniform and the weapon he was carrying.

Rick walked in on his own. The guard in the guardhouse next door, who was drinking coffee, glanced at him but then ignored him and continued drinking his coffee and looking at pornographic magazines.

Seeing this, Rick said to the guard

"Hey buddy, what happened to the group we caught yesterday? I heard there were two pretty girls among them?"

"Yes, I heard it was the old man's daughter who was caught the day before yesterday. Isn't that a coincidence?"

The guard recalled the scene with a sly look on his face.

Rick then handed the guard a cigarette and said...

"Try this. I got it from a bastard who tried to ambush me."

The guard took the cigarette, lit it, took a slow puff, and said to Rick beside him with a satisfied expression.

"Wow, buddy, this cigarette is pretty good. Where did you get it?"

"Just an unlucky guy who failed to ambush me and was killed by me in return."

Rick lit a cigarette and puffed away.

"Hahaha, there are still idiots who dare to attack someone wearing this outfit. I really don't know where they get their courage. Did Liang Jingru give it to them? Hahaha."

"Who says it isn't? But that guy is really fat. I found two whole cartons of this kind of cigarettes on him."

After Rick finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and took out an unopened box of gold dragon-shaped cigarettes from his personal storage space, and said to the guard.

"Want it? Just tell me about the group of people we arrested yesterday and the armed Humvee parked inside, and this box is yours."

The guard frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then took the box of cigarettes from Rick's hand.

Seeing this, Rick patted the guard on the shoulder and said...

"Don't worry, buddy, I'm from the SWAT team. I've just been on a mission the boss gave me these past few days and haven't been back. I only came back because my teammates Michael and Jerry mentioned it to me."

When the guard heard the names Michael and Jerry, he completely trusted the man in front of him and then told Rick everything he knew.
