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

13:30 pm

Staff office area of ​​the underground nuclear war shelter.

As soon as Mihoko and Rick arrived, they saw a lord-level zombie with burns all over its body except for one arm, using a low growl to command other special infected to move towards the staff rest area.

Seeing this, Rick quickly pulled Mieko under a desk and hid her there. Then he sent Mieko a message via telepathy.

"Honey, don't be impulsive. That zombie is the same lord zombie we blew up at the weapons factory before. I just didn't expect it to come here unscathed. Judging from the way it's commanding the zombies, it should be dealing with Daryl and Mor."

Upon hearing this, Mihoko immediately sent Rick a message.

"What should we do? It looks like it's been badly injured, but it's not enough to kill it."

"We can only take it one step at a time now. Given Mor and Daryl's current equipment, they won't last long. Why don't we share the firepower here? You wait here for a bit. Your Segas 12 combat shotgun should be upgraded by now. Once I get it out, we'll start our operation."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Finished.

Rick closed his eyes and opened the enhancement interface in the system store.

After a long half-hour wait, the brand-new Seiga 12 combat shotgun was fully upgraded. Rick saw that the power, recoil, and range had been successfully increased by 10 times.

However, the rate of fire and weight were only upgraded to level 8 and 5 respectively, which made Rick feel like he had used up all his luck. Of the 1500 points he spent on 100 upgrades, he only succeeded 43 times, while the remaining 67 times all failed. Although Rick was mentally prepared, he did not expect the difference to be so great, especially since this was after spending money on 10 high-level 10-pulls.

Thinking of this, Rick gritted his teeth and spent another 150 points on a 10-pull. After choosing to enhance the rate of fire by 2 points and the weight by 5 points, he immediately clicked to start the enhancement. Looking at the countdown below, Rick temporarily closed the enhancement interface and looked at the one-armed lord zombie not far away.

As Rick slowly straightened up and looked at the one-armed lord zombie, the one-armed lord zombie turned around and their eyes met.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

The one-armed lord-level zombie immediately recognized the prey staring at it as the culprit who had severely injured it outside the underground weapons factory.

It turned around angrily, and its only remaining arm slammed to the ground with a thud.

"Boom"

The sturdy floor was dented by its impact.

"Oh no, it's spotted me, honey! Quick, let's move to another location!"

After Rick finished speaking, he grabbed Mieko and quickly ran towards the mechanical suspension bridge connecting the staff office area and the underground research institute lobby.

As he ran, he kept looking back and saw that the one-armed lord zombie was starting to summon other special infected to attack him, but this just happened to relieve Mor and Daryl's predicament.

Looking down into the bottomless abyss, Rick suddenly had a brilliant idea.

He and Mieko first arrived at the mechanical suspension bridge located at the entrance of the underground research institute.

He then materialized a general-purpose machine gun tripod from his personal space.

He quickly secured the SIG-MG338 machine gun on his back to the tripod.

He shouted at Mieko.

"Honey, you operate the machine gun to provide cover for me. When firing, try to aim at the zombies' heads. If you can't beat them, fire the under-barreled micro rockets, but remember, whatever you do, don't blow up the suspension bridge."

Upon hearing Rick's words, Mieko immediately took over, gripped the SIG-MG338 machine gun, and pulled the trigger towards the approaching special infected.

A continuous "rat-a-tat" sound came from the muzzle of the MG338, as a dense barrage of .338 Magnum armor-piercing rounds formed an insurmountable wall of metal.

Many special infected individuals were affected by this dense storm of death, turning into corpses riddled with bloody holes.

Rick's skill is just right to complete Mieko's 10K kill mission, and she can also become more proficient with the gun.

With that thought in mind, Rick stood still, closed his eyes, and entered the weapon enhancement system interface.

His Seiga 12 combat shotgun is fully upgraded, and he even has one upgrade opportunity left.

Rick decided to save this opportunity for later. He immediately opened the special enhancement attribute and saw an advanced special enhancement button next to the special enhancement button.

Advanced Special Enhancement: Consume 1000 points for an advanced enhancement, with a very high probability of obtaining top-tier mixed affixes.

Rick suddenly felt a pang of regret when he saw that it required 1000 points.

But when he saw his score balance steadily increasing by +3, +10, +5, +30, +50, Rick knew that this was the score bonus given by Mihoko and Moore when they used SIG-MG338 to kill special infected. A special zombie would give about 30-50 points, while killing a lord-level zombie would drop hundreds or even thousands of points. Besides, he also wanted to know what the top-tier hybrid affix was.

With that thought in mind, Rick decisively clicked the Advanced Special Enhancement button. As 1000 points were deducted, the Segas 12 Combat Shotgun in the enhancement frame began to emit a burst of white light.

A few seconds later, the Sega 12 combat shotgun, which was surrounded by white light, suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light.

Then, Rick saw the notification that the enhancement had been successful.

He eagerly opened the weapon enhancement affixes, and then saw a combination affix that shocked him: "Odin, the Norse god, and Loki, the god of deceit."

Odin, the Norse god: Damage increased by 100%, range increased by 100%, rate of fire increased by 33%, recoil reduced by 33%, weight reduced by 33%, and durability increased by 33%.

Special buff "Rapid Kill": For each target killed, the holder gains 10% increased bullet firing speed (up to 10 stacks). When the stack is full, there is a 3% chance to refill the magazine with ammunition for each zombie killed. When the holder kills a special infected, all ammunition is immediately refilled.

Loki, the God of Deception: Damage increased by 50%, range increased by 50%, rate of fire increased by 10%, recoil reduced by 67%, weight reduced by 67%, durability increased by 67%.

Special buff "Cunning and Deceitful": For each target killed, the holder gains a fixed 100% increase in points, with a 10% chance to trigger a critical hit, increasing the kill points for that target to 1000%. There is also a 10% chance to trigger Perfection, restoring the weapon's durability to full.

Seeing these two attributes, Rick thought, "Isn't this much more powerful than that damn Athena's Wrath?" Sure enough, a special combination attribute worth 1000 points is much stronger than a single special attribute worth 200 points.

With that in mind, Rick decisively opened the system shop and immediately spent 300 points to exchange for an item duplication card.

Then, he used an item duplication card on the enhanced Seiga 12 combat shotgun.

Looking at the Seiga 12 combat shotgun in his personal storage space, Rick's consciousness returned from the system interface to the outside world.

At this moment, under Mihoko's continuous firing, a large number of ordinary zombies perished in the death storm of .338 Magnum armor-piercing rounds fired by SIG-MG338.

Many of those special infected individuals also fell victim to this weapon.

Seeing this, Rick looked with satisfaction at Mieko, who was holding the trigger of the MG338 with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, the one-armed lord zombie was still emitting special sounds from afar in the staff office area, attracting the zombies from the underground nuclear war shelter to gather there.

Seeing this, Rick suddenly realized that this was a good way to gather zombies.

"Wife, you just stay here and focus on killing zombies. Don't kill that one-armed lord zombie. He will keep gathering zombies here. Once there are enough zombies here, it will be his end."

Mihoko's face was somewhat numb at this moment. She ignored Rick and continued to fire at the zombies in front of her, emptying one ammo box before switching to another.

Under this continuous high-intensity firing, the barrel and muzzle of the SIG-MG338 emitted a little heat.

Seeing this, Rick slapped a multi-purpose repair tool onto the machine gun, and a white light, invisible to others, flashed, restoring the SIG-MG338 to its perfect factory condition.

Rick re-entered the system shop, spent 60 points, and exchanged for 30 boxes of .338 Magnum armor-piercing rounds.

He came to Mieko's side and manifested himself completely at the edge of an open space where it wouldn't get in the way.

In an instant, more than 30 large ammunition boxes were laid out on the ground, a sight that even startled Mieko, who was still firing.

She stopped shooting, looked at the man beside her, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Honey, how did you get so much ammunition? Are we going to use it all?"

"Don't worry, this amount of ammunition might not even be enough for you."

Rick noticed that Mieko's right shoulder, after prolonged and continuous shooting, had become similar to the redness and swelling that occurred when she practiced target shooting with the Beowulf assault rifle for extended periods.

He took out another blue coffee candy and put it into Mieko's mouth.

Just then, Daryl's voice came through his walkie-talkie.

"Darry calling Rick, Darryl calling Rick, the crisis is temporarily over, those brainless idiots are no longer coming our way."

Mohr, standing to the side, looked at the MG338 whose barrel had already turned red-hot and shouted with a laugh.

"That's right, boss, the two of us successfully defended the staff rest area."

"Good job. Once I've dealt with this problem, I'll come and support you two. Hold on for a few more minutes, that's all."

Moore sat down next to Daryl, took out a cigarette case with a golden dragon printed on it from his pocket, took out two cigarettes from it, handed one to Daryl who was leaning next to him, and then put one in his own mouth.

The two men picked up the SIG-MG338 machine gun standing beside them and used the heat emanating from the red-hot barrel to light their cigarettes.

The two took a drag and exhaled a few smoke rings, enjoying the pain and fatigue relief brought by the smoke. Daryl and Moore smiled at each other as they looked at the mountain of corpses formed by the slaughtered zombies in front of them.
