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

6:45 in the morning

There are 5 hours and 15 minutes remaining until the Atlanta CDC runs out of energy and self-destructs.

The Atlanta Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is located on the third basement level.

Jenna led Rick to the fuel storage facility on the third basement level.

While Jenner wasn't looking, Rick materialized Mieko and Liz from his personal space behind him.

Jenner suddenly smelled a familiar scent that he knew very well, and he murmured to himself.

"The scent of these roses smells so familiar."

"Yes, it looks familiar, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Jenner seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around to look behind Rick.

Two women appeared behind Rick: an Asian girl with long black hair in a ponytail, wearing a white Japanese-style school uniform, and a beautiful young woman in black stockings, high heels, and a white coat, holding a baby girl.

Upon seeing the person in front of him, Jenner was both excited and thrilled. He recognized the beautiful young woman holding the baby girl; she was none other than Elisa Lisz, the goddess of his dreams whom he had been searching for in vain and the most beautiful girl at the university where he was pursuing his degree.

When Liz saw Jenner, she didn't show much interest. She played with the baby girl she was holding and smiled.

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Edwin Jenner, or rather, I should now call you Dr. Jenner.”

Upon hearing Liz's words, Jenner felt as if he were dreaming. He immediately went to Liz's side and said...

"Is it really you, Liz? Am I dreaming?"

“It’s me, Dr. Jenner. You’re not dreaming.”

"Where have you been all these years? How have you been? We made a promise that once I got my two degrees, you would marry me. But when I went to find you after I got my degrees, I found that you had already left the school. Why did you leave without saying goodbye? In the end, I could only marry your best friend, Laiya."

Jenner's initial excitement turned into frustration and anger, and he glared at his beloved.

When Liz heard him mention Leia, her expression softened slightly as she asked a question.

"I'm sorry, I joined an organization before, and due to the need for secrecy, I had to leave without saying goodbye, and I didn't even tell Leia."

At that moment, the child in Liz's arms smiled at Liz.

Jenner finally saw the child in Liz's arms, and he asked incredulously.

"Liz, whose child is this? Yours?"

"Yes, to be precise, the egg is mine."

"What do you mean?"

"This child was conceived from my egg and the sperm of another man in my organization, and was developed in a biological amnion."

Upon hearing this, Jenner almost thought that his beloved had become someone else's mother, and a feeling of utter despair welled up inside him. But when he heard the last few words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his heart was stirred.

"What? You mean this child was artificially created using genes borrowed from you and another person?"

"Yes, she was one of the test subjects in my organization's top-secret 'Super Soldier' ​​program."

Upon hearing this, Jenner couldn't help but recall that before Project Wildfire began, a mysterious man who called himself Cole had contacted him privately, hoping that he would join his organization and work with him to complete a top-secret project called "Super Soldier".

Seeing the two chatting idly, Rick and Mihoko standing next to them seemed like superfluous third wheels. He gave Mihoko a look, and she understood immediately. The two walked into the room in front, which was filled with a row of large black oil drums.

Upon seeing the black oil drums, Rick noticed that many of them were empty. The two continued walking in and then heard a buzzing sound coming from not far away.

The two walked toward the source of the sound and saw a large fuel generator connected to multiple oil drums standing in front of them.

The fuel generator had an electronic timer that showed it had 5 hours and 5 minutes of fuel remaining.

Upon seeing this, Rick touched the black gasoline can linked to the wall and mentally called out to the system.

"System, system analysis of the fuel composition."

A few seconds later, the system's voice came through.

[Ding! The gasoline can contains diesel fuel. System detection indicates that this facility consumes one can of diesel fuel every 24 hours.]

The mention of diesel fuel prompted Rick to decide on a daring move. He placed his left hand on the black gasoline can and mentally shouted to the system.

"System, system, enter the data!"

A flash of white light appeared, and the last oil drum connected to the diesel generator disappeared. However, the instant the oil drum disappeared, the generator's countdown timer changed from 5 hours and 5 minutes to 30 seconds.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The item "200 liters of diesel fuel" has been successfully entered into your account. You can redeem it for 2 points in the system shop.]

Upon seeing this, Rick immediately opened the system shop and spent 20 points to exchange for 10 barrels of 200-liter diesel. He then immediately materialized them in front of him. Seeing that there were 10 seconds left on the countdown, he immediately grabbed the oil suction hose next to the generator and inserted it into the barrel of diesel closest to the nearest generator.

When the electronic timer on the generator went from the last 3 seconds to 23 hours and 59 minutes, Rick's legs gave way, and he sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

The feeling of narrowly escaping death sent his adrenaline soaring, but thankfully it was all in time.

Looking at the ten 200-liter diesel barrels that had materialized in front of him, Rick glanced back at Liz and Jenner outside the room. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It had taken Rick and Mihoko a lot of effort to explain the magic trick and the space ring to Liz. But if he had conjured up so many heavy things out of thin air, she would have dragged him to dissect and study him while he was sleeping.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Rick walked up to Jenner, picked him up while he was still talking, and brought him to the generator to ask him a question.

"Would it prevent the explosion if we just keep the timer here from reaching zero?"

Jenna, who was still angry that Rick had interrupted her awkward conversation with Liz, rolled her eyes at Rick and said disdainfully after hearing his words.

"That's right, there are about 5 hours left. Once this timer reaches zero, this facility will be reduced to ruins..."

Before Jenner could finish speaking, he noticed that the timer had changed from 5 hours and 5 minutes to 23 hours and 55 minutes.

He looked like he'd seen a ghost and pointed at the timer.

"How could this be? There were only 5 hours left before the self-destruction, how did it become 24 hours?"

Upon hearing this, Rick kicked the black diesel drum next to him and laughed.

"What? Dr. Jenner, are you scared? Look at this!"

Jenner followed Rick's footsteps and saw 10 new oil drums filled with diesel fuel in the warehouse.

Upon seeing this, Jenner was stunned. He had thought he would be free in 5 hours, but this man had actually managed to get his hands on this thing and even let him meet the goddess of his dreams. He didn't know whether to be happy or cry.

Seeing Jenner looking like he was about to cry, Rick led Mihoko and Liz behind him, leaving Jenner staring blankly at the oil drum, back to the first floor of the CDC.

Just then, bursts of gunfire rang out from outside.

Rick picked up the walkie-talkie, turned on the squad's private channel, and asked.

"Attention everyone, report the current situation immediately."

Daryl used his tactical crossbow to blow a zombie's head off, then picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke.

"This is Daryl's team. A small group of about twenty zombies was discovered west of the CDC. They have been completely eliminated by our team. Over."

Sean, who had just single-handedly wiped out two hordes of zombies with a silenced M14 Crazy Horse, also picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke.

"This is Sean's team. Two groups of zombies, over fifty in total, were discovered south of the CDC. I've eliminated them all by myself. Over."

Rick was very pleased to hear this and picked up the walkie-talkie to praise it.

"Both of your groups performed very well. You'll get extra chicken drumsticks tonight."

Upon hearing about the chicken drumsticks, Sean and Daryl became excited, as both of them loved chicken drumsticks.

The two men picked up their walkie-talkies and were about to speak when a burst of rapid gunfire came from the east.

Hearing the familiar gunshot, Rick deduced that it was the sound of a Segar 12 combat shotgun, indicating that Kocheta's team was in trouble. He picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.

Which group is responsible for the east side?

Just then, Kocheta picked up the walkie-talkie and said urgently.

"Rick, a large horde of zombies has been spotted to the east, numbering in the hundreds. We need reinforcements! Over!"

Upon hearing this, Rick frowned and was about to pick up the walkie-talkie to say something when rapid gunfire came from the north. Judging from the sound, it was the sound of an AR-15.

At this moment, Glenn's group is fighting against up to one hundred zombies.

These zombies are all wearing bulletproof vests and helmets. They are soldiers who were killed in the firefight between the National Guard and the U.S. Army. Their bulletproof vests and helmets reduce the threat of 9mm and 5.56mm bullets. To kill them, you can only shoot them in the face to have a chance of a headshot. Otherwise, 9mm and 5.56mm bullets cannot penetrate the helmets they are wearing at medium range.

Glenn shot a zombie wearing a blast suit in the head with an AR15 and then said to T-boy next to him.

"T-boy, we can't kill these zombies. We need heavy firepower support."

Meanwhile, Dell, who had just sniped a steel-headed zombie with a Remington M700 shotgun, shouted at the two of them.

"Go and tell Rick, we can't hold this place anymore."

Glenn had wanted to show off, but seeing that he was no match for the incredibly strong zombies, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted into it to Rick.

"Glen calling the boss, Glen calling the boss. There are soldier zombies wearing bulletproof vests and helmets to the north. Our small-caliber weapons can't hurt them. We need fire support."

"Glenn, hang in there, Mihoko and I will be there soon."

After Rick finished speaking, he and Mihoko exchanged a glance and put the 12.7x108mm machine gun, QJZ-171 individual handheld version, which they had previously redeemed with 2000 points, into the system enhancement window.
