After missing a step, Yu Qiao found herself transmigrated into an apocalyptic novel as an insignificant passerby.
At that moment, she was fleeing, with her younger brother burning with a fever on her left, her younger sister suffering an asthma attack on her right, and hundreds of zombies racing after their car.
A few question marks slowly appeared over Yu Qiao's head
What was this supposed to mean? She'd finally gotten another chance at life, and she was thrown into a hellish start from the start?
Luckily, two days later, she got a barter System called Chasing the Light, connected to Blue Star five years in the past. Unlike the zombie-infested, resource-starved world she was in now, Blue Star back then had everything.
Unexpired medicine, fresh food, clean water, and even powerful weapons.
Looking at her younger siblings, miserable and in bad shape, Yu Qiao tried typing a message on the trading platform: I'm in the apocalypse and would like to trade for some ibuprofen and albuterol. Is anyone willing to make a deal?
Someone replied quickly: Sure. What do you have to trade?
Yu Qiao: How about the juice from mutant plants? It's great for keeping mosquitoes away, and can be made into a powerful mosquito repellent!
The other person: ...?

Chen Xu, who lived on Blue Star, noticed that a store called Chasing the Light had suddenly appeared among the recommendations on the homepage of a shopping platform.
Curious, he clicked into it. The store description read: The intersection of past and future is where hope begins.
There was only one listing below it: I'm in the apocalypse and would like to trade for some ibuprofen and albuterol. Is anyone willing to make a deal?
Chen Xu: ...What kind of lunatic opened this crazy store?
Still, it was pretty interesting.
Chen Xu dug out the fever medicine and asthma medicine from his home and chose to trade.
Soon, he received a bottle of strange-colored liquid with the words "Powerful Mosquito Repellent" on the label.
A few days later, while camping in the mountains at night, he looked at the mosquito bites swelling all over his body and suddenly remembered the powerful repellent.
He grabbed it and sprayed it everywhere. The lively mosquitoes immediately dropped to the ground, twitching, and were completely dead in less than two seconds.
Chen Xu: "...?"
It really works that well?!

Yu Qiao's barter shop suddenly became a huge hit.
After trading things like powerful mosquito repellent, mutant rice, and unbreakable fabric, Yu Qiao looked at the items she had on hand to trade. After hesitating for a few seconds, she quietly posted a listing and asked: Maybe you'd like some mutant zombies?
People on Blue Star: ...?
