The trading market had become the busiest spot in Morhaven Base. It seemed like everyone, whether they had business to attend to or not, would come for a look around.
Those with superpowers would bring their surplus food or unneeded supplies to the market, hoping to trade for something useful.
Even those without enough to trade would come to browse, much like how women enjoyed shopping before the apocalypse. It was a way to vent the stress that had built up since the world ended and ease their tension.
Of course, such a large crowd naturally came with its own risks. For instance, someone who hadn't eaten in a long time might see food at a stall but have nothing to trade for it. In such cases, robberies and similar incidents could occur.
And in the beginning, they did. So Sepherdine, the base's public-facing leader, dispatched a ten-person team of Level 3 superpower users to patrol the market and maintain security every day.
