Solution

Unzip the file

┌──(kali㉿kali)-[/picoCTF/picoGym/General_Skills/Fist_Find]
└─$ unzip files.zip 
Archive:  files.zip

The path to the file is visible in the middle of the file listing (prefixed with extracting) but let's search for it anyway

┌──(kali㉿kali)-[/picoCTF/picoGym/General_Skills/Fist_Find]
└─$ find files -name uber-secret.txt
files/adequate_books/more_books/.secret/deeper_secrets/deepest_secrets/uber-secret.txt

Finally, display the flag with cat

┌──(kali㉿kali)-[/picoCTF/picoGym/General_Skills/Fist_Find]
└─$ cat files/adequate_books/more_books/.secret/deeper_secrets/deepest_secrets/uber-secret.txt
