Gu Su looked down at the items in the chest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He had bet right this time.

The 361 gold coins and 2 units of gems alone far exceeded all his previous gains.

Not to mention the remaining items, each of which had extremely high practical value for him.

He first picked up the pale yellow Rat Treasure, its texture as hard as stone.

A cool touch came from his fingertips, and a faint Yin energy lingered around it.

He had heard of this thing before; it was one of the core burning materials needed for the Yin Fire Pile.

It could be said that with this, the graveyard's Yin Fire Pile could restore its full functionality and begin to automatically gather Yin energy.

Afterward, he clenched the six round random seeds in his hand.

The seeds varied in size, their shells adorned with strange patterns, clearly not ordinary plants.

Gu Su was not a druid and couldn't identify the specific varieties, but he knew he had gotten a good deal.

The undead troops did not need food, only Yin energy to act.

But as a human, he had to eat to maintain his physical strength.

Being able to grow his own crops would undoubtedly solve long-term survival problems.

Even if what grew wasn't edible vegetables, it would still have its uses, as "tasty things are vegetables, and unpalatable things are medicine."

These seeds would always come in handy.

Next, his gaze fell on the mass of corpse oil, resembling butter, contained in a dilapidated iron box.

A faint, almost imperceptible fishy smell wafted towards him.

This was perfect for nourishing the Ghoul Tree and could accelerate its repair progress.

But Gu Su had an inkling that the origin of this corpse oil was by no means simple; the rat tribe could not have obtained such special resources on their own.

If he followed this clue, he might find more hidden secrets or resources deep within this mall.

Finally, Gu Su picked up the core reward.

The Plague Ripper.

This was not a knife in the traditional sense, but a chainsaw about fifty centimeters long, with an exquisite overall design.

The front had a guide bar about twenty centimeters long, and the chain was spliced from fragments of sharp rat fangs.

In the middle was a non-slip handle wrapped in black cloth and a miniature motor.

The tail was equipped with a small energy box, the type of internal driving energy being unclear.

Most importantly, it was extremely lightweight, weighing just over a kilogram, making it effortless to hold.

Gu Su pressed the switch on the handle, and the motor immediately emitted a faint hum. The sharp-toothed chain spun at high speed, gradually becoming ethereal and a faint green, while emitting a pungent, rotten smell, clearly indicating the circulation of poisonous energy.

He swung it a couple of times. The feel was smooth, and both the attack power and special effects were top-notch.

With the addition of the green weapon, the Plague Ripper, and the six new skeletons by his side, his overall force was further expanded, and Gu Su's confidence grew, as did his courage.

The caution and restraint from his earlier exploration of the outer areas gradually faded.

He was no longer content with searching for surface-level supplies. Instead, he took the initiative, leading the mage skeleton and the six other skeletons straight into the large supermarket area at the core of the mall, intending to venture deeper into the hinterland to find more valuable items.

The moment he stepped into the supermarket, the smell of mold and dust became even more intense.

The desolate and ruined scene before him made him frown involuntarily, and his expectations cooled by more than half.

In the vast hall of the supermarket, the neatly arranged shelves had all toppled over, some pierced by broken rebar, others piled up against each other, long gone from their former orderly appearance.

The metal frames of the shelves were covered in thick rust, looking as if they would crumble with the slightest pressure.

The wooden shelves were even more rotten, crumbling into dust at the lightest touch, completely incapable of bearing any weight.

The storage area, once piled high with various goods, was now empty. The shelves, the floor, even the corners and crevices had been scoured clean. Not a single complete item remained, not even a scrap of food residue or packaging debris. It was clear that other survivors or monsters had plundered it long ago.

Even more lamentable was that most of the wooden parts of the shelves had rotted through. Even the few that were relatively intact were unusable due to long-term dampness and mold.

The metal parts had also succumbed to the ravages of time, rust stains deeply ingrained. Many places were rusted through, deformed, and even after disassembly, they were difficult to use as effective materials, offering almost no value for recycling.

Gu Su walked slowly through the vast, desolate supermarket hall, hands clasped behind his back, the Plague Cutter held steady in his grip. The faint crunch of glass shards and rotten wood underfoot was exceptionally clear in the silent space.

His gaze swept rapidly across each area, from the snack aisle to the daily necessities section, then to the fresh produce area, meticulously checking every corner, unwilling to miss any spot that might hide overlooked supplies. He even examined the gaps beneath fallen shelves and the hollows left by collapsed walls, hoping for a surprise find.

But no matter how he searched, he found nothing of use.

Instead, the collapsed shelves made his progress quite difficult.

Finally, Gu Su simply had his skeleton dismantle the fallen shelves. The rusted iron bars were removed and piled together, ready to be taken away.

Through this process, Gu Su discovered something different.

This location was a bit behind the fresh produce section.

According to the original supermarket layout, this should have been the cold storage room.

It would have been piled with fresh or chilled food.

However, Gu Su didn't expect anything to be left here.

When he arrived, he merely glanced inside out of curiosity.

To his surprise, this glance revealed a dog-sized hole and some melted corpse oil.
