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

6:30 in the morning

There are 5 hours and 30 minutes remaining until the Atlanta CDC runs out of energy and self-destructs.

Outside the Atlanta Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A gray-black tactical MTVR drove into the area outside the Atlanta CDC, where corpses lay strewn everywhere.

Looking at the mess around them, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Abandoned armed Humvees, M3 Bradley tracked armored vehicles, M1A2 Abrams tanks, and Stryker wheeled armored vehicles were left outside the CDC.

Rick saw these things as if they were priceless treasures. To him, these steel behemoths were a devastating blow to zombies or ordinary survivors. With these war vehicles, what were those damned lord zombies? They'd better stand still and wait to be beaten!

Rick drove the car to the gate, got out, waved and shouted at the camera filming him at the gate.

"Hey folks, open the door! It's the delivery guy!"

"puff"

This scene amused Jenner, who had just woken up from a hangover.

Just then, Jacques walked by and brought Jenner a bowl of hangover soup.

"Thank you, beautiful lady."

Jenner took the hangover soup from Jacqueline and sipped it slowly, finishing it in no time.

"How are you, Doctor? Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, beautiful lady, thank you for the hangover soup."

Jacques smiled, took the empty bowl Jenner had placed aside, and left the monitoring room.

"Alright, let me see who you really are."

Jenner verified Rick's identity by looking at his face through the monitor.

"Hey! Boss! Are you sure you can handle this?"

"Yeah, Rick, you used to be so awesome, what happened to you? You're such a loser now?"

Listening to Daryl and Coachella's sarcastic and mocking remarks, Rick felt extremely embarrassed.

He threatened the camera menacingly.

"You won't open the door for me, huh? You want to see me make a fool of myself, huh? Wait till I get in, and see how I feed you a big bowl of 'big stuff'."

Hearing the man's threats outside, Jenner was neither angry nor flustered. He seemed to be watching a clown who had broken down, raging in a helpless frenzy.

Jenner turned on the radio and spoke sarcastically to Rick outside.

"Oh? Is that so? I'd like to see how you come in and feed me this big bowl of bread."

After Jenner finished speaking, without waiting for Rick's rebuttal, he pressed a button not far from the microphone.

Suddenly, a thick, blast-resistant roller shutter door descended outside the entire Atlanta CDC building, thick enough to withstand the barrage of heavy machine guns and small-caliber cannons.

The entire exterior glass of the CDC building is covered by this thick, blast-proof roller shutter, making it look like an iron turtle wearing armor.

Rick's anger surged, and he spent 10 points to redeem 10 remote-controlled C4 bombs from the system shop, which he then stuck on the door panel.

He immediately ran away to a safe distance, and then pressed the red button on the remote control.

"Boom"

Ten remotely controlled C4s were detonated simultaneously, creating a tiny mushroom cloud only three stories high. The violent explosion shattered all the outer glass of the CDC building, and the main door, which consisted of three layers of explosion-proof roller shutters, was reduced to dust by the force of the explosion, which was equivalent to that of a 250-kilogram aerial bomb.

"Holy crap! What's going on?!"

Daryl and Kocheta were startled and dropped the cigarettes they were holding in their mouths by the explosion.

Tens of seconds later.

The mini mushroom cloud dissipated.

The tactical MTVR crew got out of the vehicle and looked towards the entrance of the CDC. However, the entrance was nowhere to be seen. Almost all the glass in the building had been shattered, and even the security screening equipment within 10 meters of the CDC entrance had been reduced to scrap metal.

"Damn it, they've got too much nerve! Guys, grab your weapons and let's go in and fuck them!"

Rick raised his arm and led the group inside.

Mohr patted Daryl on the shoulder and said with a heavy heart, "I'm complaining."

"The boss is really angry this time. He heard everything you and Kocheta just said. If he takes your taunts to heart, you'll be in for it. Good luck to you two."

After speaking, Moore, with an MG338 on his back and an M14 Crazy Horse in his hand, followed beside Rick.

Upon hearing this, Coachta and Daryl's faces darkened immediately. They knew Rick's character well and knew that he never let revenge linger overnight.

Thinking of this, the two of them shuddered involuntarily, and then followed Rick into the CDC.

Inside the CDC guard room.

Jenner was so startled by the sudden explosion that she lost her balance and fell off her chair.

The coffee he had just brewed was spilled on the floor, soaking him.

He stood up awkwardly and yelled at the screen.

"That damn bastard dared to detonate a bomb on the gate."

After yelling, Jenner grabbed the black AR15 from the gun rack not far from the guardhouse and ran toward the entrance of the CDC.

At this moment, Rick led everyone into the CDC. Before entering, he had ordered everyone to prepare for battle, with two people guarding the three corridors of the CDC, waiting for Jenner to appear.

"Damn it, I'm going to make you ignorant idiots who illegally intruded pay the price."

Jenner ran toward the entrance, cursing as she went, down a corridor that led to it the closest one.

Due to the immense power of the explosion, the surveillance cameras at the entrance were affected by the shockwave and temporarily rendered ineffective. Jenner did not notice the people who had entered; he was already blinded by rage, and only one thought occupied his mind: to teach the instigator of all this a lesson.

"Boss, I'm hearing strange, angry shouts coming from the corridor."

Moore whispered to Rick, who was waiting in another corridor.

Upon hearing this, Rick immediately moved quickly to Moore's side, listening to the footsteps that were gradually approaching.

At this moment, Jenner was unaware that he was about to be ambushed by a thug, and he moved around with his gun held high, completely unsuspecting.

Moore and Rick nodded to each other, got into position, and waited for their prey to come to them.

A dozen seconds later, the moment Jenner stepped out of the corridor, two dark figures darted out from his left and right.

Without saying a word, the two dark figures used a series of grappling techniques to pin Jenner to the ground before he could even react.

Moore took out handcuffs and cuffed his hands directly.

This series of smooth operations took less than five seconds in total.

Within five seconds, Jenner was subdued by the two men before he even had a chance to react.

By the time he realized this, he was already pinned to the ground and handcuffed by the two men.

"Let me go, you damned invaders! If you've got the guts, let's duel! What kind of hero attacks by sneaking around!"

Jenner, his eyes bloodshot, yelled at Rick and Moore.

At Rick's prompting, Moore picked up the somewhat muscular man in the white coat in front of him.

Rick came up to him, patted his face, and said with a mocking expression.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Dr. Edwin Jenner, with double degrees in virology and biology? Weren't you pretty arrogant on the radio just now? Why are you so cowardly now? Weren't you taunting me before, saying you'd eat me alive? Now that I'm here, why are you chickening out?"

Jenner heard Rick's words, and his reason regained control of his mind.

He carefully looked the stranger in front of him, dressed in SWAT combat gear, up and down before speaking.

"Who are you? How do you know me? What is your purpose in coming here?!"

"Haha, you don't know me, but I know you."

Rick finished speaking and clapped his hands.

Immediately, Sean, Glenn, Carroll and her daughter, along with more than a dozen others, all carrying AR15 assault rifles, came out with their weapons.

Before coming here, Rick contacted Sean and the others via radio, explaining his plan to them in detail. This is why Rick's men barely reacted after the explosion.

When Jenner saw the group of people he had taken in the day before yesterday, armed with weapons, walking up to Rick, he felt a mix of emotions, as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.

"Well, Dr. Jenner, are you surprised? Unexpected?"

Just then, Jacques stepped out from the crowd and spoke to Jenner expressionlessly.

"Doctor, this is our leader Rick. We are very grateful that you took us in the day before yesterday. To express our gratitude, we have decided not to kill you and will allow you to continue your research."

Having finished speaking

Jenner stared in shock at Jacques, who had been serving him hangover soup a moment ago, now appearing so cold and ruthless. When he turned to look at the people behind Rick, he found that everyone except the man in a cowboy hat with a girl in a maid outfit and a white-haired, slightly overweight old man with two girls was staring at him as if he were already dead.

This sent a chill down Jenner's spine. He sighed and continued speaking to Jacques.

“I’ve already told you, this isn’t a good place for you. In five hours, when the CDC’s backup fuel runs out, the bombs planted inside the CDC will detonate, and everything here will be destroyed.”

"Really? Take me to see it."

Rick was giving orders to Jenner, while Moore, who was holding him, kicked him in the backside and yelled.

"The boss told you to lead the way, are you deaf?!"

Jenner gave Moore a defiant glare before heading towards the stairs to the third basement level.

"and many more"

Rick stopped Jenner and turned to the others, giving them instructions.

"The explosion just now will definitely attract the zombies nearby. Moore, Coachta, Daryl, Sean, Glenn, each of you choose two people to form a three-person combat team to guard the area. Once you spot any zombies, shoot them on sight."

After hearing Rick's order, the five people quickly selected their respective members and then went to carry it out.

At this moment, only Herschel and his two daughters, Drake and his daughter, and Diane, a pregnant woman with a large belly, remained in the hall.

Seeing that everyone else was busy, the women all looked at Rick and waited for instructions.

Rick responded upon seeing this.

"As for you, go find a room and wash up properly. Once you're familiar with this place, I'll assign you tasks."

Upon hearing this, the group headed to the rest area according to the CDC's zoning map.

In the empty hall, only Rick and Jenner remained.

Rick suddenly remembered that his wife Mieko and his new wife Liz were still in his personal space. Taking advantage of Jenner's inattention, he materialized Mieko and Liz from his personal space behind him.

When Jenner turned around, he saw a scene he would never forget.
