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

12:20 pm

Underground Research Institute Area A Lobby

Rick and Mieko turned their heads and saw the naked man.

Mieko accidentally saw that indescribable thing.

In an instant, a girl's scream echoed in the lobby of Area A of the research institute.

"Ugh! You pervert!"

Both men were startled by Mieko's shout. The man then looked at himself and found that apart from his thick chest muscles, he had nothing covering him. This caused the man to freeze in shock.

Rick, on the other hand, transformed into a not-so-bright, straightforward, and warm-hearted man, hugging Mieko to comfort her.

"Honey, let's not look at him. Just look at me and forget what just happened."

Listening to Rick's coaxing techniques, which sounded like he was trying to coax a naughty child, Mieko felt a surge of anger rise in her heart. She broke free from Rick's embrace, crossed her arms, and said to Rick.

"You think I'm some little brat? Rick, I rely on you, but you treat me like a three-year-old. For that reason alone, after this operation, don't even think about climbing into my bed again. If I don't show my power, you'll really think I'm Doraemon."

"Huh? What?! There's such a good thing?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"No, no, no, you're right, honey. It was my fault, it was my fault. I'll reflect on it and I promise I'll never do it again."

After Rick finished speaking, he patted his helmet with a grin.

"This beautiful young lady is magnanimous; I won't hold it against you this time. I'll forgive you for now, hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮"

"Ah, yes, yes, thank you so much, Ms. Mieko, for forgiving me."

"Hey! You two over there, stop flirting! Is it really okay for you to ignore me like this?"

Upon hearing the man's words, Rick spoke to Mieko.

"Honey, don't turn around yet. Please stay here and keep watch while I go see what's going on."

Mihoko nodded to Rick, then picked up the Seiga 12 combat shotgun beside her and stood with her back to Rick and the other man.

Rick walked up to the man, glanced at the naked man, and then asked.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"Could you explain who you are? Why are you wearing my squad's combat uniform? And where did my combat uniform go?"

Hearing the question from the man in front of him, Rick asked back somewhat guiltily.

Before asking me who I am, don't you introduce yourself first?

After hearing Rick's words, the man was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"My name is Kocheta Solomon, and I am the captain of the underground research institute's biochemical emergency response team."

"What? Coachta Solomon?"

"Yes, it's me. Is there a problem?"

"Dude, you call yourself Coachta Solomon? I should call myself Diane Roseworth!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing Rick mention Diana Roseworth's name, the man who called himself Coachta instantly lunged at the man in front of him, grabbing Rick by the neck with both hands, catching Rick completely off guard.

At that moment, Mihoko heard a noise behind her and quickly turned around. She saw her husband being straddled by this naked, muscular man, whose hands were tightly gripping her husband's neck. She immediately rushed over, holding a Seiga 12 combat shotgun to the man's temple and yelling.

"Let go of my husband! If you don't let go, I'll smash your head in!"

The man watched as the Asian girl in the white school uniform pointed a weapon he had never seen before at his temple, threatening him. He then slowly raised his hands and released Rick.

Rick coughed twice and took a deep breath.

"Cough cough cough, are you fucking crazy? You attacked me right away? Believe me or not, if you let go a second later, you'll be a headless, bloody corpse lying next to me."

The man named Kocheta looked angrily at the man on the ground and threatened him viciously.

"Where did you put my wife, you bastard?"

Rick's brain went blank upon hearing this. What the hell? Could it be such a coincidence?

Rick cleared his throat and asked.

“Um, Mr. Coachta Solomon, first of all, I don’t know your wife, but I need you to answer a question seriously: do you know General Sherman?”

"What? Who are you? Why do you know General Sherman?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you don't need to worry about who I am. Just tell me how you and that female soldier named Diane Roseworth got here."

Rick can now confirm that the man in front of him named Kocheta Solomon is one of the main characters in Death Road 2, and the other is Diane Roseworth, the female soldier he rescued along the way.

"No! Tell me where Diane is first before I'll answer your question. Otherwise, you won't get any other information!"

Seeing this, Rick shook his head and said.

“Cochetta, first of all, I have no ill intentions towards you. As for your wife, I know nothing about her. I am only here to rescue Dr. Elisa Liss. But if you can tell me the questions you have, I will help you find your wife.”

Upon hearing this, Kochetta's eyes dimmed. He stared at the man in the black special operations uniform before him and fell silent. He could see that the man did not have the Dawn of Light organization's insignia on his sleeve. He was unsure whether he could trust the man in front of him, but the fact that the man could say General Sherman's name meant that this man was probably not a member of the Dawn of Light organization.

After figuring this out, he raised his head again and spoke to Rick.

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course, man."

"Alright, but before that, could you find me some clothes to cover myself up? Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for your beautiful Asian wife to see me like this."

Upon hearing Kochetta's words, Rick impulsively decided to help this tough guy who was driving a Hummer recklessly through Evan City.

Rick made an excuse and left the current hall. In a place where Coacheta couldn't see him, he spent 11 points to redeem a black special operations uniform. Then he spent another 40 points to redeem an AR15 assault rifle with a silencer and grenade launcher, the same model as Kobe Bryant's. He also exchanged 10 points for 10 boxes of 100-round 5.56 caliber ammunition and 10 points for a box of 40mm high-explosive incendiary grenades.

After doing all this, Rick stuffed everything into a black military backpack, then carried the backpack and walked back into the lobby of Area A of the underground research facility.

Seeing Rick return in less than a minute, Coacheta frowned and said to Rick with displeasure.

"Hey, where have you been?"

"Me? Of course I'll find you clothes and weapons. You can make do with the weapons for now, but I'll get you better ones once I find Diane."

After Rick finished speaking, he handed the black military backpack in his hand to Coacheta.

Kocheta immediately opened his backpack and saw the black special operations uniform, an AR15 assault rifle loaded with accessories, and a pile of ammunition and grenades.

Seeing this, Kocheta's military intuition told him that the man in front of him was not simple, and he should not antagonize him unless absolutely necessary.

After quickly getting dressed, Kocheta took out six D50 drum magazines and began loading them with bullets.

Three minutes later.

Kocheta loaded six drum magazines, then picked up his AR15 assault rifle and loaded one of the drum magazines he had just loaded. With a click, Kocheta was done preparing.

As Kocheta loaded the drum magazine, Mieko stood by, watching him with great interest, which pleased the chauvinistic Kocheta.

Kocheta held up the AR15 and showed it off to Mieko next to him.

"So, little girl, are you envious?"

"Tch, it's nothing special."

After finishing her sentence, Mihoko didn't forget to show off her Sega 12 combat shotgun in front of Coacheta.

This immediately piqued Kocheta's interest. He was a gun enthusiast himself, but when he saw the strangely shaped gun in Mieko's hand, he completely forgot about his wife and said to Mieko...

"Young lady, could you show me the gun in your hand?"

"Hmph~ ╭(╯^╰)╮"

Upon hearing this, Mihoko turned her head away in annoyance, ignoring Kocheta, which left Kocheta speechless. He looked at Rick with a pleading expression, and Rick sighed and said...

"Alright, Coacha, I can agree to this condition, but when I find your wife, you two must unconditionally promise me one thing. Of course, it won't be anything difficult for you, don't worry."

"No problem, as long as you can find my wife, I'd even be willing to follow you around, that's fine with me."

"Okay, it's settled then. Mieko, lend this curious little one the Sega 12 combat shotgun."

"Alright then, since my husband has spoken, I'll let you take a look. Just remember to return it to me later."

Mieko reluctantly handed the weapon in her hand to Kocheta.

Kocheta, on the other hand, played with the toy like a mischievous child who had just received a new one, which made Mieko feel sorry for him. However, since her man hadn't said anything, she decided to just bear with it.

However, at that moment, Dr. Liz's voice came through the loudspeaker again after a long silence.

"Rick, Rick, I need you to rescue someone. She's in the biology lab not far from here, and it'll be on your way here."

"Oh? Dr. Liz, this isn't part of our deal. You want me to save people? Fine, but you'll need to offer something else that will interest me."

“Rick, this is my personal request. After you save her, you can name your terms. She is my personal bodyguard. She lured away most of the zombies to save me, but she is pregnant, and the father of her unborn child died in the lobby of Area A where you are.”

"Oh? Then tell me, what's her name?"

"Diane Roseworth, a brown-haired female soldier."

"What?! Diane? Where is she? Where is Dr. Liz?"

Kocheta, realizing what was happening, shouted urgently into the loudspeaker.

At this moment, Liz saw the man in front of her and tried to ask him a question.

"Who are you? Kocheta?"

“Yes, I am Coachta Solomon, Dr. Liz. Where is my wife? Is she alright?”

"No, she's in a very bad situation right now. The vast majority of the zombies in Area A are currently roaming outside the biological laboratory. Your wife is currently hiding in a sterilization room, shivering. However, there are still two sprayers and a mutated ravager inside the laboratory."

"What!? A mutated Destroyer! Damn it, we can't delay any longer, Dr. Liz, I'm going to save Diane right away."

Finished.

Ignoring Rick and Mihoko beside him, Kocheta, with an AR15 assault rifle slung over his back and Mihoko's Seiga 12 combat shotgun in his hand, immediately ran towards the biological laboratory.

Seeing this, Rick said to Mieko, "Hurry up and follow him. I'll get you a new weapon later. Saving people is the priority."

Finished.

Riku pulled the dazed Mieko along and ran towards Kocheta.

As for why Rick was in such a hurry to rescue Diane Roseworth, it was because he had just received an urgent special mission from the system.
