In the third year of the apocalypse, Lin Du was forced into a desperate situation by the force he had worked for for three years for half a bag of antibiotics.
Before he died, he completed his last transaction in an abandoned vegetable market——
"I'll take whatever is left and exchange it for three years ago."
When he opened his eyes again, there were only seventy-two hours left before the gray tide came. Also waking up with him was a rusty scale.
[Firework value can be obtained from real transactions.
[The fireworks value can open water purification, cold storage, lighting and safety areas.
[Warning: Do not buy or sell by force, and do not rob stall owners and customers.
Others built their shelters into fortresses, but Lin Du built an underground vegetable market and turned the only safe area into a trading place.
A bag of rice is exchanged for a bed, a box of medicine is exchanged for maintenance, and a piece of information is exchanged for a hot meal. Butchers, doctors, vegetable vendors, repairmen, liars, street children... More and more people are setting up stalls here.
Later, the gray tide flooded the city, monsters blocked the trade routes, and the major shelters fought hard for the last load of food.
Only Lin Du stood in front of the brightly lit long street and hung up the wooden sign again:
"The market is open today, and no one is deceived."
No one expected that this doomsday market maintained by fair trade would eventually become the first light to rekindle human civilization.

It's pretty good, but it's quite similar to a few good AI books I've read before.
