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

crossroads

Interior of the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank

After hearing what Marvin said on the walkie-talkie, Rick knew that Rick Grimes, the protagonist of The Walking Dead, had arrived on horseback with a gun on his back!

In the original storyline, Grimes rode his horse to a spot not far from the tank, only to see a small horde of zombies heading his way. Grimes immediately pulled his horse to take another route, but at a street corner, he bumped into another horde of zombies. His horse, startled by the sight of the zombies, threw Grimes off its back, causing him to lose a bag of weapons he was carrying.

Looking back, Rick felt that the original plot was a bit of a pity. Putting aside the bag of weapons, the horse Rick was riding was much stronger than the horses on Herschel's farm, and judging from its appearance, it should have been of purer blood.

Thinking about all this, Rick decided to do something that would allow him to keep the horse, get the bag of weapons, and complete Mission 3. While considering these things, Rick picked up the tank crew zombie he had previously killed, pulled out his military dagger, and casually tossed the body out of the tank. The zombies outside, seeing a corpse suddenly thrown out, excitedly pounded on the tank. After Rick finished inputting the tank crew combat uniform, he opened the system shop and spent 0.5 points to redeem a new one. The tank combat uniform he bought from the system shop was custom-made to fit Rick perfectly; it was just the right size. Wearing the tank crew combat uniform, Rick looked like a... Rick, a genuine Asian tank crewman, then rummaged through the tank's interior. What he found was surprisingly substantial: a single shotgun shell in the loader behind the turret, a high-explosive shell in the main gun, and even two unused .50 ammunition boxes (200 rounds each) under the gunner's seat. Without hesitation, Rick entered all three items into the system, then climbed onto the tank's machine gun mount and loaded the remaining 200 rounds of .50 ammunition into the M2HB heavy machine gun.

Once everything was ready, Rick called out the system.

"System, check points"

[Ding! Host's points remaining: "8"]

In the battle on the second floor of the bookstore, Rick redeemed a "Tactical Machete" for 1 point, and just now he spent 0.5 points to redeem a tank soldier's combat uniform, and the coffee candy he bought for Marvin this morning cost 0.5 points. These three items cost a total of 2 points.

"System, redeem one Colt Python .357 revolver and two boxes of .357 ammunition (100 rounds)."

Upon hearing this, Rick immediately took out the Colt Python .357 revolver from his system space. After loading the ammunition, Rick put the revolver into the holster on his thigh and took out the military tactical binoculars he had acquired earlier. He looked south, and thanks to the high quality of the system's products, Rick easily spotted the man riding a horse, casually strolling towards him as if he were shopping. At this moment, the man on horseback did not see the horde of corpses ahead. Grimes thought of his wife and son in the military shelter in the city, and couldn't help but grip the reins, quickening his pace towards the city.

But when Grimes was only 100 meters away from the crossroads, he saw something that shocked him. A soldier wearing a US.ARMY combat uniform waved at him and even pointed to a building next to him. After seeing this, Grimes raised his arm and waved back to the soldier.

Seeing this, Rick was both amused and exasperated. He then picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Marvin, "Rick calling Marvin, Rick calling Marvin, my friend's here! Time to show off your skills! Over!"

Upon hearing Rick's words on the walkie-talkie, Marvin didn't hesitate. He raised his M700 and fired at the zombie closest to the tank. With a bang, the bullet, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, seemed to tear a hole in the air and flew into the zombie's head. Instantly, a horrific bloody hole was pierced through the zombie's skull by the 7.62mm bullet, and it collapsed to the ground.

Grimes, riding his horse, was momentarily stunned upon hearing the gunshot, not quite understanding what was happening. When he looked ahead again, the soldier pointed to the abandoned minibus next to him. This time, Grimes understood what the soldier meant: he wanted him to hide in the minibus.

Once he understood, Grimes rode his horse to the back of the abandoned minibus, then stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs-up to indicate that he was safe.

Seeing that Grimes finally understood what he meant, Rick lowered his arm with relief, then stood on the tank and shouted to the surroundings, "All eyes, look at me! Look at me! Look at me! I have an announcement to make! Everyone here is an idiot!"

Hearing Rick's shout, the surrounding zombies became even more excited, pushing and shoving forward with all their might. Some of the zombies at the front were even knocked to the ground and trampled by the others, and some even had their heads crushed by the other zombies.

Grimes and Marvin were stunned when they heard the shout. They thought to themselves, "This guy is surrounded by zombies, why is he acting like a clown and going crazy?"

What happened next stunned the two of them. The idiot in front of them jumped into the tank and operated the M2HB to attack the horde of zombies in front of them. The sound of the M2HB's gunshots was like a shockwave that instantly shook the surrounding air, making people's hearts tremble. Wherever it went, nothing grew. The zombies that were grazed by the .50 caliber bullets were like rags drifting in the wind, their limbs were blown to pieces.

In no time, a horde of hundreds of zombies was slaughtered under the terrifying onslaught of the .50 caliber gun. The 200-round ammunition box was quickly used up. Looking at the red-hot barrels sizzling with heat, Rick felt all the frustration and pressure he had been feeling lately dissipate. Gazing at the carnage scattered on the ground, Rick jumped off the tank, pulled his Colt Python revolver from the holster on his thigh, and walked towards Grimes' location.

At this moment, Grimes was gripping the reins tightly. During the battle just now, the horse almost threw Grimes off its back after hearing the terrifying gunshots of the M2HB. Fortunately, Grimes had lowered his head and lay on the horse's back, constantly stroking its mane to soothe it, thus preventing the horse from running away and him from falling.

Two minutes later, Grimes looked up and saw that the gunfire had stopped. He lay on his horse, panting heavily. In all his years as a police officer, he had seen all sorts of storms. But he had never encountered a situation as thrilling and exciting as this before, especially not while riding a horse.

However, at that moment, an Asian soldier wearing a US ARMY tank combat uniform and holding a gray-black Colt Python revolver walked over from the opposite side.

Upon seeing the man, Grimes had no doubt about his identity. He was convinced that the man before him was a tank soldier sent by the military to guard the area. When he saw him operating the M2HB heavy machine gun to slaughter zombies, Grimes believed him. In this dangerous post-apocalyptic world, seeing the military still protecting their homeland filled Grimes with respect for the man before him. He immediately dismounted, straightened his appearance, and stood at attention, saluting the soldier before him, saying, "Raydan City, King County Police Department Sheriff Rick Grimes reporting for duty!"

Upon seeing Grimes, Rick didn't say anything, but instead saluted in response, saying, "Private First Class Rick, Tank Gunner, Atlanta Armored Battalion, Georgia National Guard."

Rick lied to Grimes with a straight face without batting an eye, but Grimes believed him because of his identity.

Hearing that the other person was also named Rick, Grimes wasn't surprised, as Rick wasn't a rare name in America. Grimes then hugged Rick, who politely returned the hug, patting him on the back and saying, "Hey, buddy, it must have been tough getting you all this way."

Hearing Rick say that, Grimes's liking for Rick increased even more.

Seeing the weapon pouch on Grimes's horse, Rick casually took it off and slung it over his own shoulder. Grimes didn't suspect anything when he saw Rick's actions. After all, given his previous behavior and his identity as a National Guard soldier, he was sure Rick wouldn't harm him. In fact, he might even know about the Atlanta shelter. If that were the case, he wouldn't be far from reuniting with his family.

Taking these factors into consideration, Grimes didn't stop Rick from carrying the weapon pack. While Grimes wasn't watching, Rick directly entered everything in the weapon pack into the system, and then the system chimed.

[Ding! The ammunition calibers used by the above firearms have been successfully entered]

Upon hearing the system notification that the weapon had been successfully registered, Rick was extremely excited and wanted to exchange it for a weapon right away. However, with Grimes beside him, he couldn't perform the feat of conjuring a weapon out of thin air, and he also couldn't let anyone know that he had the system.

Rick then said to Grimes, "I see you're a revolver enthusiast too, and I happen to be one as well. How about we swap weapons?"

As he spoke, Rick drew his dark gray Colt Python .357 revolver and handed it to Rick.

Rick frowned slightly upon hearing this, thinking of his old friend, the revolver in his hand, which had accompanied him from the moment he entered the police force until he became a sheriff. This pistol had witnessed his growth, even his wedding with Lori and the birth of Carl. However, seeing that the other person was also a revolver enthusiast, and knowing he needed to inquire about Lori and Carl's whereabouts, he saw that the other person was also handing over his beloved gun. Grimes took it and handed over his own. Rick then received Grimes's beloved gun, a Colt Python .357 revolver with a bright silver 6-inch barrel. While Grimes was playing with his revolver, Rick quickly entered the information into this old friend that had been with him for half his life.

[Ding! Detected that the host has acquired the item "Rick Grimes' Colt Python 6-inch .357 Revolver". Would you like to add it to the inventory?]

"Enter! Enter! Enter into the system!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, the item "Rick Grimes' Colt Python 6-inch .357 Revolver" has been successfully registered.]

"System! System! Redeem 'Rick Grimes' Colt Python 6-inch .357 Revolver'"

[Ding! Redemption successful! The host has spent a total of 5 points to redeem the "Rick Grimes Colt Python 6-inch .357 Revolver" (5 points per revolver). Due to insufficient points, the system has extended a credit of 2 points for this purchase. Please return 20 points to the system within 24 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prohibited from using the system store until the points are fully repaid!]

Hearing the system's words, Rick was dumbfounded, then retorted, "What?! I only borrowed 2 points, and you, you treacherous system, are making me pay you back 20 points! Treacherous system! You're heartless! Are you some kind of loan shark system?"

[Ding! Host, please watch your words. This system is a system, not a heart. As for the loan shark system you mentioned, that's not this system. This function is a new feature I gained after winning against the loan shark system in a mahjong game today! It's for you to use in a pinch to withdraw your points in a crisis. The price is that you have to repay ten times the amount of points you've overdrawn. I hope you repay as soon as possible and don't become a deadbeat.]

Upon hearing the system's words, Rick's face darkened. However, upon closer reflection, he realized that this function could be useful in critical moments, at least enough to save his life in an emergency. But the price was too high, and he should never use this function unless absolutely necessary. Hmm!

After making up his mind, Rick returned the 6-inch Colt Python revolver he had redeemed from the system to Grimes. The two then rode off towards the bookstore. It was only then that Rick noticed the notification that he had completed Mission 3 and the advanced mission.
