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

9:50 am

Atlanta Police Department

After a series of events, Rick returned to his previous high-rise apartment.

Seeing her man return safely, Mihoko ran to the door and hugged Rick like an octopus.

"Why did it take you so long to come back? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

Looking at Mieko clinging to him, Rick patted her head to comfort her.

"Your husband has gained a lot from this 'infiltration'."

"Tell me?"

Mieko stared at her man like a curious child.

"Don't rush, I'll show you in an hour."

Upon hearing this, Mihoko stared at the man in front of her with a resentful look, like a wronged woman.

Seeing the gaze directed at him by his beautiful young wife, Rick carried Mieko to the window and pointed to the police station parking lot below.

"I'm giving you a chance to fight me. Are you going to come with me to the police station and participate in the operation, or will you stay here and wait for me to come back?"

Upon hearing this, Mihoko got off Rick and thought about it carefully before speaking.

"Staying here is too boring. I was worried about you when I saw you go in, but looking at you now, you've successfully sneaked in, haven't you?"

"Not only did I infiltrate, but I'm now the personal bodyguard of that scoundrel Chief Tomney."

"Then how can I go in with you?"

Rick was taken aback at first, then fell into thought.

Rick could easily walk in using his previous identity, but Mieko couldn't. Although he could spend points to exchange for a SWAT special operations uniform for Mieko, her figure and gender made it impossible for her to wear it.

Seeing her man caught in a dilemma, Mihoko also became conflicted.

And so, the two of them, lost in thought, sat in the room for an hour, until the system's mechanical voice broke through Rick's almost-fallen-asleep mind.

[Ding! System Shop 2.0 update complete. The host can view the items added in this update within the System Shop.]

Hearing the system's mechanical voice, Rick instantly snapped back to reality. He immediately entered the system shop interface and began browsing the new items added in this update.

However, when Rick saw the new items added by the system, he was as happy as a 180-pound baby. The store not only added the various blind boxes mentioned by the system, but also disposable items to replenish ammunition for war vehicles, as well as various enhancement injections, and even a cure for the zombie virus. However, when Rick saw that points were required to redeem them, Rick's mood plummeted from heaven to hell.

However, for Rick at present, the points seem to be a lot, but when he unlocks the universal recycling function, the points are not that many. As long as he recycles some useless garbage, he can always get enough.

想到这里，瑞克继续往下翻，随后他就看到了自己梦寐以求的那把武器，巴雷特XM109狙击榴弹发射器，只要1500积分就能兑换，25x59毫米高爆穿甲榴弹100发只要10积分，还有自己定制的那把外贸版LG-5型40毫米狙击榴弹发射器，专用的40毫米智能榴弹100发的积分与XM109的25x59毫米高爆穿甲弹100发一样都是10积分。

Upon seeing these two items, Rick immediately added them to his shopping cart, along with two weapon copy cards of his choice, and then continued to the next page.

When Rick saw the two machine guns, he was shocked. One of them was one of the new weapons he had acquired after escaping Kentucky: the SIG-MG338 .338 Magnum machine gun from SIG Sauer, and the QJZ-171, a domestically produced 12.7x108mm machine gun that Rick had ordered before his journey.

However, the purchase button below the QJZ-171 machine gun he had ordered was grayed out, which puzzled Rick greatly. He immediately summoned the system.

"System, system, why is the purchase button grayed out?"

"Ding, in response to the host, the QJZ-171 machine gun can only be unlocked after the host completes the mission to rescue Dr. Liss."

"You system! When did you say that you needed to rescue Dr. Liss to unlock it?"

"Ding! Is what I said now going to work? Host Gou, you can save me or not, it's up to you."

Upon hearing this, Rick suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, landing directly on Mieko, which startled her.

However, Rick ignored Mieko and continued arguing with the system.

"Damn it, you system, if you want to piss me off, just say so! You deducted 5000 points from my system shop without my permission, and all I get in return are these things? Do you really think I'm made of clay and have no temper at all?"

"Ding! This system has detected that the host has repeatedly challenged its authority. The system is about to eliminate the host's wife, 'Nohara Mieko.' Countdown begins now..."

Upon hearing the system's words, Rick panicked instantly. Although he was very angry, he knew better than his wife, and he quickly admitted defeat.

"No! System Daddy, don't kill me! Just pretend I didn't say anything, please don't hold it against me. I promise to bring Dr. Liz back to you. I will definitely complete the mission you issued. Please calm down."

Seeing Rick back down, the system spat in response.

"Heh, you're nothing. Before you try to mess with this system next time, think about your strength first. In your current state, one word from this system and you're finished. You still dream of marrying this system? Go to sleep."

Hearing the system's mockery, Rick smiled on the surface, but inwardly he was utterly disgusted. Right now, he was nothing. If it weren't for his skills and weapons, Rick couldn't beat anyone. Now, he could only obediently work for the system.

A dozen seconds later, Rick added another weapon from the store: the Zening-specialized Sega 12 shotgun. This gun can use a 5-round magazine or a 20-round drum magazine and can fire standard 12-gauge shotgun shells, as well as darts, buckshot, lead bullets, slugs, dragon breath rounds, explosive rounds, and more. It is a versatile fully automatic combat shotgun.

However, Rick was shocked when he saw the price. The weapon cost 1000 points, which was more than he had spent on the premium weapon selection box.

Remembering that he would be going with Tompenny to the research institute below the police station to rescue Dr. Liz, Rick didn't hesitate to add 1000 points to his shopping cart, along with a weapon duplication card.

瑞克没有继续浏览下去，当即结了账，这次总共消耗了4590积分，XM109狙击榴弹发射器(1500积分)，1000发25x59毫米高爆穿甲弹(100积分)，泽特宁塞加12全自动战斗霰弹枪(1000积分)与每种类型霰弹各10盒(60积分)，西格绍尔SIG-MG338机枪(1000积分)与.338马格南机枪弹10盒(30积分)，以及3张武器复制卡(900积分)。

When Rick saw his points balance drop from zero, he lamented that the points were simply not enough, especially since he would be organizing the legion later, and the cost of points would undoubtedly be enormous.

When Mihoko saw her man staring blankly at her, she was terrified. She immediately slapped Rick across the left cheek, a blow that stunned Rick, who had just closed the system shop.

The air seemed to freeze. Rick, his eyes regaining their sparkle, covered his swollen left cheek with his left hand, staring at Mieko in terror. Mieko, clearly having lost control of her strength, looked at her man with a terrified expression, like a child who had done something wrong, her hands clasped behind her back, at a loss for what to do.

And so, the two remained silent for five minutes in this awkward atmosphere.

Suddenly, Francis's voice came through Rick's walkie-talkie.

Rick, where are you now?

"Huh? Francis? What's wrong?"

In the police station break room, Francis, lying on the bed next to Levin, rubbed his swollen neck and roared at him.

"Rick, you despicable bastard, did you knock me out?"

"Yes, I did it. So what?"

"You bastard, why did you knock me out?"

Rick lied without a second thought.

"Francis, if I hadn't knocked you out, we would have been discovered, you know?"

Francis had just woken up. He scratched his head, trying to recall the scene, but he couldn't remember anything. He only remembered entering the hole with Rick, and then everything went black and he passed out. That was his last memory.

Seeing this, Rick quickly stepped in to cover up the lie.

“Thompney was in the room at that time. If I hadn’t knocked you out, we would have been discovered by him, and then we would have been in danger. You were too reckless, Francis.”

Upon hearing this, Francis suddenly realized what was happening and quickly thanked him.

"Thanks. If you hadn't knocked me out, we might both be done for. Knowing Tompney as I do, if that damn bastard had found us, he would have immediately gathered everyone in the police station to kill you and me."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, tell me, what do you want?"

"I just received word that Tompney will be leading a team to the underground research facility to rescue Dr. Liz soon. Where are you now?"

Upon hearing this, Rick didn't explain to Mieko, who was standing to the side, but instead teleported her into his personal space. He then responded to Francis.

"Wait there for a few minutes, I'll be right there."

Having finished speaking

Rick rushed out of the high-rise apartment and immediately ran towards the police station entrance.
