Graphs AND zombies? You have made this geek girl very, very happy.
But, as the zombie virus spreads, production of ammunition falls (no electricity, raw materials, and people to make the bullets), so it becomes a scarce commodity. It also becomes more useful and essential, as the number of zombies per person rises, raising the demand curve, and thus the price of ammunition. If the infection ends up zombifying everyone, then there would be no market, and thus no price of ammunition. If it peters out or is somehow stopped, the resultant unstable society and fear of further outbreaks would keep the price of ammunition high (though it would probably plateau and decline eventually).
Zombies are Death’s way of giving a little bit back.

I believe the graph refers to the fact that at a given point, the price plummets to zero as the remaining survivors just smash the deserted gun shop windows and take what they need for free. Or just steal it from dead bodies (which aren’t undead yet).
The sudden stop on the x-axis could be indicative of no more ammo or no more customers.
