The supermarket was a fortress of glass and metal, its doors shattered. Jiang Yuan approached cautiously, his knife raised. The phone was silent, no immediate threats detected.
He stepped inside, and the smell hit him first: rot, mold, and the sickly sweet stench of spoiled food. The aisles were in ruins, shelves overturned, cans and packages littering the floor.
[Supplies detected. High-value items: canned food, bottled water, medical kits, and a crowbar in the hardware aisle.]
Jiang Yuan moved quickly, filling his backpack with canned beans, tuna, and several bottles of water. He found a first-aid kit under a collapsed shelf and stuffed it in. Then he headed for the hardware aisle, where he found a heavy steel crowbar. It was a far better weapon than his fruit knife.
As he turned to leave, a low growl echoed from the back of the store. A massive creature, like a bear with too many arms, emerged from the shadows, its eyes fixed on him.
[Danger detected: Hostile entity "Abomination." Weak point: eyes. Extreme caution advised.]
Jiang Yuan gripped the crowbar. This was the final threat. He had to win.
