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

11:45 am

Police station underground shelter

Rick and Mieko, who had just finished fighting a giant zombie, headed towards the guardhouse not far from the restaurant.

By this time, Rick and Mihoko had cleared almost the entire area near the entrance of the shelter. Rick used the universal recycling machine to collect all the zombies that had been killed, arguing that he didn't want to waste the resources needed to maintain his future research base. Looking at the dozens of bottles of agility and stamina potions, the smile on Rick's face was harder to suppress than an AK.

This whole scene was witnessed by a blonde woman in a lab coat, including the moment when Rick and Mieko fought the giant zombie in the restaurant. At this moment, the blonde woman became very interested in the two people on the monitor, especially the man in the SWAT combat suit. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she was certain that the man in front of her was definitely not a member of the police department's SWAT team.

When she thought about the experiments she was doing here, the first person she thought of was "Death Hank," a highly skilled and mysterious figure in the organization.

He never failed a single mission, always completing the tasks assigned to him by the organization brilliantly. His squad suffered the highest casualties in the entire organization, yet even so, he could still complete the missions alone and return victorious. Therefore, the people in the organization called him "Death Hank".

However, he had never seen the JK girl with Asian features and wearing a blue and white Japanese school uniform next to the mysterious man before. Judging from her clothes, she looked more like a student. But how could her shooting skills be so strong? And when facing the giant zombie, she did not show any fear. Instead, she calmly shot at the giant zombie.

Could it be that this Asian girl is also a member of the organization? No! This mysterious man clearly entered the shelter lobby alone, but after he arrived at the lounge on the left side of the lobby, the Asian girl appeared with him not long after. And the door to that lounge was not locked. In the front lobby of the shelter full of zombies, it was impossible for the Asian girl to hide in an open lounge and be discovered by the zombies.

"Damn, if only there were security cameras in the lounge too."

The blonde woman cursed at the monitor screen, then calmly continued talking to herself.

"However, you two have successfully attracted my attention. Given your abilities, I might actually be able to leave here and return to headquarters with my research results. In that case, I'll offer you two some assistance."

After muttering to herself, the blonde woman sat back down in her chair and continued observing Rick and Mihoko. However, on another monitor, a lord-level zombie, even larger than a giant zombie, was tirelessly pounding on a heavy blast door with its arms covered in chitinous bio-arm armor. Behind that blast door was a room that served as the blonde woman's monitoring room.

The heavy blast door was already covered in cracks from the relentless attacks of the lord-level zombies, and some parts of the steel structure had even begun to deform.

Upon seeing this, the blonde woman broke out in a cold sweat and cursed at the screen.

"Damn Cole, damn Tompney, damn Deros! If it weren't for you, my lab wouldn't have been destroyed by this Lord-level zombie, and I wouldn't be trapped here making my last stand. Once I get out of here, I'm going to settle the score with you three selfish beasts!"

After the blonde woman finished speaking, she turned on the computer next to her, activating the research institute's main AI, and then the AI's voice sounded.

"Warning, warning, the blast door at the weapons manufacturing plant is more than 70% damaged."

Upon seeing this, the blonde woman immediately typed something into the computer.

"How long can the explosion-proof door last?"

Then he pressed Enter.

The institute's main AI then provided a response.

"Based on the current level of damage, the weapons factory gates will be completely destroyed within 75 minutes."

Upon seeing the message, the blonde woman turned pale. If she needed to wait for the two men to come and rescue her, it would take at least 60 minutes, and there would be many zombies and damaged roads along the way. Even if the two men rushed over without stopping, it would still take them about 70 minutes.

Thinking of this, she immediately typed it into the computer.

"The fastest route from the shelter restaurant to the research institute's weapons factory."

Then he pressed Enter.

"The route from the shelter restaurant to the weapons factory is as follows: shelter restaurant → staff living area → staff office area → underground research institute gate → research institute A area → biological research laboratory → biological cultivation room → petri dish storage area → biological waste disposal area → weapons manufacturing plant."

Upon seeing this, the blonde woman immediately picked up the microphone next to her and spoke.

"Ahem, hello everyone."

A woman's voice came over the loudspeaker in the shelter's dining hall.

This startled Rick and Mieko, who were on their way to the guard room armory. Rick immediately asked...

"Who are you? What is your purpose in contacting us?"

Seeing that things were looking promising, the blonde woman continued speaking to the two of them.

“My name is Alyssa Liss, and I am the chief scientist of this biochemical research institute and the head of the entire underground nuclear war shelter.”

Upon hearing this, Rick was taken aback at first, and then asked.

"Dr. Liz, hello, I'm here to save you. I heard you've already figured out a way to control zombies?"

"No, the method to control the zombies failed. Not only that, but it also gave birth to some very terrifying mutated zombies. The giant zombie you killed in the restaurant was one of the products of that failed plan, except that the zombie was still in its infancy and had not yet fully evolved."

Rick sneered upon hearing this.

"Ha, Alyssa Liszt, since your zombie control plan has failed, there's no need for me to risk saving you any longer. You and your failed experiment can stay here forever."

Upon hearing this, Liz panicked. She had originally planned to trick these two into risking their lives to rescue her, and then return to headquarters with the data she had successfully researched in exchange for a higher position. However, she did not expect this man to be so resolute.

She said immediately.

"Wait! Please wait a moment!"

Rick responded with a disdainful look.

"Oh? Dr. Liz, I hope what you're about to say will move me, otherwise I'll leave no matter what you say."

Liz breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and spoke slowly.

"The plan to control the zombies has not failed. The finished product and data are in my hands. Although I don't know if you are Death Hank or someone in the organization, it doesn't matter. As long as you can save me, I will give you a copy of the method to control the zombies."

Rick was utterly shocked upon hearing Liz's words. An organization? What organization? Umbrella? And Hank the Grim Reaper? Was this the same Hank the Umbrella-obsessed, head-turning maniac he knew? Could it be that the world he had transmigrated to was also connected to Umbrella?

Thinking of this, Rick had a sudden inspiration. Instead of revealing his identity immediately, he continued to act.

"Hehe, Dr. Liz knows about Death Hank? Then I wonder if the doctor knows me?"

After Rick finished speaking, he took off his helmet and mask, revealing his handsome Asian face.

Upon hearing this, Liz saw a handsome, standard-looking Asian face through the blurry monitor screen. She stared at Rick's face for a few seconds before asking a question.

"What is your name?"

Rick flashed a typical Asian smile at the camera in the corner.

"It's such a pity that Dr. Elisa Liss, the organization's renowned chief biological researcher, doesn't recognize me. It really makes me very sad."

Upon hearing Rick's words, Liz frowned, staring intently at the man's face on the screen, trying to recall if she had ever seen him at the organization's headquarters.

However, Liz racked her brains but couldn't remember who this man was. Seeing that the lord-level zombie was still relentlessly attacking the blast-proof gate of the weapons factory, she said somewhat impatiently.

"Tell me who you are. I'm sure I've never seen you at the organization's headquarters before."

Rick said calmly upon hearing this.

"It's really sad. Dr. Liz has heard of Death Hank, but she's never heard of me, Gun God Rick. What a pity."

"Rick the Gunslinger?" Upon hearing this name, Liz racked her brains for all the names she had ever heard, but after a few seconds, she still couldn't remember anything. She said anxiously.

“I don’t care if you’re called Gun God Rick or any other Rick, what I’m telling you is that I’m in danger. One of my failed experiments is besieging the blast door of the weapons factory where I am. This door is my last safe point. Once that failed experiment gets into the weapons factory, I will be killed by it, and your mission will fail. Not only will you be unable to return to the organization, but the technology and detailed information for controlling zombies will also be completely lost here.”

Rick asked again after hearing this.

"How's things going on your end? Are you alright...?"

Rick hadn't finished speaking when Liz interrupted him anxiously.

"No! This is very bad for me, my situation is extremely dangerous!"

Rick became serious and said to Liz.

"Dr. Liz, I can save you, but you must grant me three requests on one condition. Note that I mean grant me three requests unconditionally!"

Upon hearing this, Lis fell into a brief silence. However, the noise from the lord-level zombie's attack continued, prompting Lis, who was still thinking, to speak into the microphone without hesitation.

"Alright, alright, as long as you can kill that monster and get me out of this hellhole, I'll grant you your three requests."

Rick saw that the fish had taken the bait and said to Liz.

“Very good, Dr. Liz, it’s a pleasure working with you. Send me your location now, and I’ll come to rescue you right away.”

Liz continued.

"Follow the route I give you. You'll reach the weapons factory gate within an hour at the earliest. After that, you'll face hundreds of ordinary zombies and that failed prototype. I've already located your and the girl next to you's biosignals. You two just need to follow the route I give you. Don't act on your own. I believe you two can handle any zombies you encounter along the way."

Upon hearing this, Rick exchanged a glance with Mieko, who had been silent beside him. The two nodded to each other, and Rick spoke to Liz.

"Alright, Dr. Liz, time is of the essence and the task is urgent, please give us directions quickly."

Liz said upon hearing this.

"You two should first pass through the staff living area of ​​the shelter, and then come to the staff office area. When you reach the lobby of the staff office area, you will see a damaged blast door. That is the entrance to the underground research institute where I am located."

Upon hearing this, Rick and Mieko each put a piece of blue coffee candy in their mouths. After feeling their vision brighten again, the couple quickly ran towards the shelter's staff living area.
