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

5:50 AM

6 hours and 10 minutes until the Atlanta CDC self-destruction.

The ramp elevator at the Atlanta Police Department's underground nuclear shelter.

After changing into his SWAT uniform, Rick led the group, whose faces were grim, back to the ramp elevator that led them back to the ground warehouse.

A few minutes later.

Rick and his group returned to the ground warehouse.

Inside the police station, everyone was still resting, except for two SWAT special forces members who were dozing off against the wall by the warehouse door.

Just then, Brooke led the bound and gagged Tompenny to the warehouse door.

Seeing this, Rick gave Brian a look, then stretched out in front of Brooke, pretending to be a guard changing shifts, and brushed past Brooke.

Brook ignored Rick and, like a dead dog, tossed the still unconscious Tompney in front of Brian.

"Brian, you know what to do."

Brian nodded upon hearing this, picked up Tompney from the ground, and walked into the warehouse.

Just then, Brooke warned.

“Hey Brian, I’m keeping an eye on you. Don’t try anything funny. And don’t forget what you promised Dross.”

"Okay, Brooke, please give him my regards."

Brooke turned and walked away, giving Brian a few international friendly gestures before leaving.

Rick, who was pretending to be on guard duty, saw all of this.

Rick, using his perception skills, began to follow behind him.

A few dozen seconds later, Brooke returned to his machine gunner position on the armed Humvee, while Rick stealthily followed him to the back of the Humvee.

Seeing that no one was watching, Rick spent 3 points to exchange for two remote-controlled C4s and one timed C4. While Brooke was cleaning the M2HB heavy machine gun in the Hummer, he taped the two remote-controlled C4s to the back of the car, and hid the timed C4 in the gap between the spare tire hanging in the back of the armed Hummer.

After doing all this, Rick stealthily left the area and headed towards the police station parking lot where he had arranged to meet the others.

Three minutes later.

Blake, with the unconscious Tompney, met up with Rick and his gang in the back of the tactical MTVR.

Once everyone had arrived, Rick led them to the back of the vehicle, while Coacheta stood in the position of the machine gunner on the roof of the tactical MTVR. Rick untied the ropes binding Tompney and, with the unconscious Tompney in tow, sat in the driver's seat of the tactical MTVR.

Blake unlocked the parking lot gate, and Rick activated the tactical MTVR, passed through the gate, and drove outside.

After doing all this, Blake drove a SWAT riot control vehicle behind Rick and drove out of the police station.

15 minute later.

Rick drove his tactical MTVR to a spot not far from Madison Outdoor Store, where Herschel was hiding.

Rick stopped the car and looked ahead, only to catch a glimpse of the trouble he least wanted to see.

At the Madison Outdoor Store, hundreds of zombies were crowding the entrance, pounding on the security shutter door. Rick remembered that the shutter door had been smashed open with a large hole, but now the hole was blocked by two green trash cans filled with garbage.

Meanwhile, at the window on the second floor of the store, several strangers were using homemade, elongated spears to stab the zombies downwards through the window.

Upon seeing this, Rick materialized his M32A1 grenade launcher from the system space. He spent 30 points to purchase 100 high-explosive grenades, 100 rapid-fire grenades, and 100 highly toxic smoke grenades from the system shop.

He immediately loaded the M32A1 grenade launcher with two highly toxic smoke grenades, two high-explosive grenades, and two rapid-freeze grenades.

After loading, he pulled the trigger towards the horde of corpses in front of him.

"Bang~bang~"

Two shots rang out, and two grenades flew rapidly into the pile of corpses.

"Boom!"

Two explosions rang out. The two grenades fired by Rick were clearly high-explosive grenades. In an instant, more than a dozen zombies standing together were blown to pieces by the two grenades.

Seeing that the effect was not bad, Rick fired two more grenades at the zombie horde.

However, the scene he had imagined did not occur. When the two grenades hit the horde of zombies, there was no explosion, which led Rick to believe that he had been unlucky and had gotten duds.

But just then, blue smoke began to billow from the mouth of one of the zombies.

Moments later, the bluish smoke spread across the entire street.

Upon seeing this, Rick immediately returned to the driver's seat and drove away from Madison Outdoor Store.

After confirming that the bluish smoke wouldn't spread here, Rick breathed a sigh of relief. He climbed onto the roof of the car, took out his binoculars, and continued to observe the smoke that was gradually spreading ahead.

A few minutes later.

As the smoke cleared, the zombies on the street near the Madison Outdoor Store began to turn red in the eyes. Their attack speed increased, and some even started to jog. Their attacks became increasingly frenzied, and the force with which they pounded on the blast-proof roller shutter door grew stronger and stronger, causing some parts of the door to twist and deform under the blows of these crazed zombies.

Seeing this, Rick quickly took out his binoculars to look at the second floor of Madison Outdoor Store.

He saw that those who had been stabbing zombies with extended wooden spears had now been transformed into red-eyed zombies by the toxic smoke.

Rick, who came here to save people, ended up becoming the murderer who destroyed the place.

With that thought in mind, Rick conjured the VSSM Night Demon silenced sniper rifle from the roof of the car and pulled the trigger at the horde of zombies in the distance.

"Slap~ Slap~ Slap"

The distinctive, faint gunshot of the VSSM Night Demon silenced sniper rifle emanated from the muzzle of the Barrett XM109 flash suppressor.

The powerful 9x39mm subsonic bullets left white trails as they swiftly weaved through the horde of zombies. Many zombies were blown apart before they even knew what was happening, their black and red blood and their yellowish-white brains splattering among the horde.

Suddenly, the manhole cover not far from the tactical MTVR opened, and a fat, white old man with gray hair climbed out of the sewer, followed by a young woman with brown bangs and a girl with long blonde hair.

Behind them was a white man wearing a cowboy hat and a girl with pigtails dressed in a maid outfit. These five people were the Hershel family and Drake and his daughter, who had just escaped from the sewers.

However, at that moment, Kocheta, who was in the machine gun position on the roof, was the first to spot the five men. He did not recognize them at the time, so he turned the M2HB machine gun around and shouted at the five men below.

Hey! You five! Drop your weapons!

The Hershel family and Drake and his daughter were startled by Kochetta's shout. They reflexively raised their M870 shotguns and aimed them at the tactical MTVR in front of them.

Rick glanced back when he heard this, and when he saw that his Hershel and his father-in-law were at peace, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Kochetta beside him.

"Don't shoot, we're on the same side."

After Rick finished speaking, he immediately jumped out of the car and ran towards his two wives and father-in-law.

"Maggie! Beth! Father-in-law, don't shoot! They're on our side!"

The tense atmosphere was immediately dissolved by Rick's somewhat comical remark.

When Maggie and Beth saw that the person wearing SWAT combat uniform was their man, they immediately rushed forward and hugged Rick.

"Rick! It's so good to see you back safe and sound."

Maggie hugged Rick with tears in her eyes, kissing his face as she sobbed.

"Rick, you have no idea how worried Maggie and I were about you."

At this moment, Beth was in a similar state to Maggie, and the three of them hugged each other as if they had been separated for a long time.

"Haha, my wives, I'm back safe and sound."

After Rick finished speaking, he scratched the back of his head and awkwardly dealt with the two women.

"Hmph! I don't care, you have to make it up to me and my sister tonight. No matter what you say, you have to make it up to us properly tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Rick immediately felt a dull ache in his lower back.

He swallowed hard and said to the two women.

"Um, Maggie, Beth, I'm on my period and can't pay my dues right now. Can I pay on credit?"

The two women exchanged a glance, then looked at the man in front of them and said in unison.

Do you think I'd believe that?

Upon hearing this, Rick trembled and turned to look at his father-in-law, Hershel, with a pleading expression.

"cough cough"

When Hershel saw Rick's pleading look, he coughed and spoke to the three of them.

“Maggie, Beth, this is not the time to talk about this. You two let Rick go first.”

Upon hearing Hershel's words, the two women released their prey, which was about to be devoured by the two lionesses.

Hershel said to Rick when he saw this.

"Let me introduce you to two people."

After Hershel finished speaking, he came to Rick's side and pulled him to Drake and his daughter.

Seeing this, Rick politely extended his right hand to Drake first.

"Hello, my name is Rick, and I am the leader of this team."

Seeing this, Drake extended his right hand and shook Rick's right hand, introducing himself.

"Hello Rick, my name is Nathan Drake. So you're the young leader Hershel was talking about. You're quite the young man."

After Drake finished speaking, the girl in the twin-tailed maid outfit behind him stepped forward and introduced herself to Rick somewhat shyly.

"Hello, my name is Anna Drake, nice to meet you."

After Anna finished speaking, she suddenly kissed Rick on the cheek, then ran shyly behind Drake, not daring to look at him anymore.

The Hershel family and Drake witnessed this scene clearly, and Rick was stunned by Anna's kiss.

When he saw that Hershel and Nathan Drake were looking at him with strange expressions, his survival instinct kicked in, and he immediately spoke to the five of them.

"This isn't the place to chat. Let's leave first!"

After saying that, he opened the rear door of the tactical MTVR and beckoned the men inside.

After the group met inside the vehicle, they began to introduce themselves. Moll replaced Coacheta and returned to the position of machine gunner. Coacheta then returned to the carriage, introduced himself, and began to tell everyone about Rick and Mihoko's battle against the special infected lord zombie in the underground nuclear shelter and the underground research institute's biological laboratory.

When Hershel and Drake heard the news, they didn't believe it at first. But after Daryl, an honest man nearby, confirmed it and told them about rescuing a baby girl in the pipe, they believed it. Drake's opinion of Rick changed, and he even had the idea of ​​giving Rick his own little jacket.

If Anna, who was standing to the side, heard that her adoptive father shared the same thoughts as her, she would probably be overjoyed. Who could resist a handsome and capable young man? At least Anna, who was in her adolescence, couldn't.

Hearing the cheerful laughter coming from the back of the car, Rick whistled and sped toward the Atlanta Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
