The Central Hospital is the largest public hospital in this small town. There are four white buildings with a uniform style, each bearing the large characters "Outpatient Building", "Inpatient Department", "Laboratory Center" and "General Office Building".
The condition for completing Spade 2 is to reach the rooftop of the central Hospital outpatient building, where someone will come to rescue him.
As Xiao Lou entered the outpatient hall, a notification appeared in the floating window in front of him: "You have arrived at your destination [Central Hospital ]. D-class secret room friendly reminder: You can avoid the zombies and take the elevator directly to the rooftop of the outpatient building to leave Zombie Town. If you want a perfect completion, please explore on your own and find the first Infected serum sample."
Spade 2 has a 60-minute time limit, and most Challengers will likely adopt a strategy of carefully avoiding zombies and using weapons to take out any lone zombies. Upon arriving at the Hospital lobby, there are initially a dozen or so zombies scattered around. As long as you avoid them and successfully enter the elevator to reach the rooftop, you can complete the level directly.
Simply completing Spades 2: Secret Chamber isn't particularly difficult.
But achieving a perfect score is obviously not that easy.
Xiao Lou's approach was risky, but it solved all the zombies on his way to the game once and for all—luring and gathering the zombies, trapping a large number of them in the Grand Theater, and then using the " Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell " technique. As a result, when he entered the outpatient building, the lobby was empty, with no zombies blocking his way. If he only wanted to pass the game, he could even swagger into the elevator and press the button to go directly to the top floor.
One can only imagine the power of Tao Yuanming's S card...
Without hesitation, Xiao Lou turned and walked out of the outpatient building.
His goal was to achieve a perfect clear and obtain an S-rank card. If he couldn't even achieve a perfect clear of the D-class secret room, obtaining an S-rank card would only become increasingly difficult later on. The fact that Peach Blossom Spring existed for 30 minutes gave him confidence—if all else failed, he could teleport back to Peach Blossom Spring for refuge.
The next step is to find the first infected serum sample.
There are three buildings nearby: a testing center, an inpatient ward, and a main building. Logically, when a hospital encounters a special patient, the serum sample should be taken to the blood testing center in the testing building as soon as possible.
Xiao Lou glanced at the countdown in the floating window—40 minutes left, he had to hurry.
To get to the laboratory building, you have to go through the inpatient department first.
The inpatient department door was open, and Xiao Lou saw several mutilated corpses lying at the entrance. Many of the corpses were covered in wounds, and there was a lot of dried blood around them, indicating that a fierce fight must have taken place here.
It makes sense, the little boy crawled out of the morgue late at night. There are very few doctors on duty at the outpatient department late at night, and not many patients come to the emergency room in the middle of the night—the inpatient department is the place with the most people in the entire hospital at night.
The outbreak of Zombie Virus had the greatest impact on inpatient departments.
Many patients may have been fast asleep at the time, awakened by the commotion outside. A large number of medical staff and patients fled frantically. Some of the infected mutated and bit their fellow infected, and more and more people were infected... The process is bloody just to imagine.
Xiao Lou alertly pricked up her ears and tried to walk forward as quietly as possible.
There must be a lot of zombies in the inpatient ward; he didn't want to disturb the zombie horde...
However, just a few seconds later, he heard a rustling sound coming from the inpatient building. At first, it sounded like mice gnawing on popcorn, but soon the sound doubled in volume, and countless chaotic footsteps came together, mixed with the loud thud of heavy objects hitting the ground—it seemed that something had knocked over a metal cabinet in the process of moving.
The piercing sound made Xiao Lou's scalp tingle, and then he witnessed an unbelievable scene—
Countless zombies poured out of the hospital ward like ants!
Most of the zombies were wearing blue and white checkered hospital gowns, while some wore nurses and white coats...
The scene was extremely spectacular, no less than the crowds of students leaving a top-tier primary school.
Xiao Lou's back stiffened, and he took off running!
As he ran, a faint scent of roses wafted through the air, and he realized a serious mistake—he still had Rose Perfume on him, the one used to lure monsters. It was effective within a 30-meter range, encompassing not only horizontal and vertical distances but also vertical distances.
He had just passed by the inpatient building, a vertical distance of 30 meters, which alerted all the zombies within ten floors.
He had used Rose Perfume to lure monsters so that he could reach the end of the hospital without any obstacles. Little did he know that Rose Perfume, which had just helped him, would now cause him to disturb the most terrifying zombie nest in the hospital ward!
Xiao Lou's face turned pale.
What alarmed him even more was that among the zombies in the inpatient ward, while the zombies in hospital gowns moved slowly, some of the young doctors who had turned into zombies were much more agile than ordinary zombies! Especially the surgeons, who could stand in front of the operating table for hours at a time, their leg strength was incomparable to that of ordinary zombies.
Several young male doctors were about to catch up with him. One of them, a tall man, had a hand so rotten it was just bone that almost touched his neck. Xiao Lou felt a chill run down his spine, a cold glint flashed in his fingertips, and without hesitation, he tossed out a Nine Palaces Grid card.
The 3x3 meter Nine Palaces Grid froze all the zombies behind him, saving his life in a thrilling moment!
With no way back, Xiao Lou could only continue running forward with lingering fear.
He had already entered the central heart of the hospital.
Rose perfume stuck to his skin, and even if he took off his clothes, it wouldn't help. Wherever he went, he would attract zombies that would swarm him—the inpatient ward, the testing center, and the main building; the number of zombies in those three buildings was a terrifying number he couldn't even imagine.
He was so stupid as to enter the zombie lairs while spraying Rose Perfume!
what to do?
As Xiao Lou ran, her mind raced.
Of course, he could play Tao Yuanming and hide in Peach Blossom Spring again.
However, the Peach Blossom Spring only lasts for 30 minutes, with about 10 minutes left before it disappears. To achieve a perfect victory, the zombies in these three buildings must be dealt with. Otherwise, with the Rose Perfume, he won't be able to successfully obtain the little boy's serum sample.
Nine Palaces Grid has only 4 uses left, which isn't enough to hold off so many zombies... Oh right, Compass!
The Compass you draw in Square Block 2 Escape Room allows you to draw a circle anywhere, and the circle will turn into a metal ring after 10 seconds.
Without weapons, he can make them on the spot using Compass!
The key question now is: where do we lead these zombies?
Xiao Lou quickly surveyed his surroundings. He had just passed the inpatient department; about fifty meters further on was the testing center, and continuing forward was the hospital's main building, and beyond that…
He saw an empty playground.
Right next to the hospital was an elementary school. It's likely that the chaos during the Zombie Virus outbreak caused the wall between the hospital and the school to collapse, so that the side of the main building was now connected to the school's playground.
However, the broken wall is only a little over a meter wide. If he enters the playground through the broken wall, the zombie horde chasing behind him will definitely cause a "traffic jam" if they all try to follow, which will buy him a lot of time.
Xiao Lou decisively decided to use the empty playground as the finish line.
He'll have to go into the testing center sooner or later, so he might as well lure the zombies out of the testing building now.
Xiao Lou made up her mind and lingered for a moment below the inspection building.
The laboratory building is only ten stories high. Xiao Lou paused at the entrance for a few seconds, which successfully led all the doctors on duty in the building down.
Running at the front was a young male doctor, his white coat stained with blood, a stethoscope hanging around his neck. Upon smelling Xiao Lou's scent, he immediately turned and pounced on Xiao Lou, revealing two sharp claws with bare white bones, aiming directly at Xiao Lou's face!
Xiao Lou tensed up, suddenly stretched out his right leg, and kicked out with force—
The young zombie was kicked to the ground by him!
The zombie fell to the ground with a "thud," but quickly got up slowly, its bones rubbing against each other, making a creepy creaking sound.
Xiao Lou wasted no time, turned around and ran quickly towards the playground, leaving behind several Nine Palaces Grid photos to buy time.
Nine Palaces Grid had already used up all its card uses, barely managing to hold off hundreds of zombies.
With the zombie horde behind him, Xiao Lou nimbly circled the complex, reached the playground, and took out the Compass from his card holder.
He adjusted the Compass's outriggers to their maximum size and began rapidly drawing circles on the large playground.
One circle after another quickly covered the entire playground.
The sound of a horde of zombies approached from behind.
The broken wall, which was only a meter wide, couldn't hold so many zombies at once. Some of the zombies couldn't wait to start climbing the wall. They stepped on the bodies of their own kind and climbed over the wall one after another... The scene was comparable to a sci-fi blockbuster like Resident Evil!
Xiao Lou's heart trembled slightly, but his hands moved without the slightest hesitation.
After drawing numerous circles with Compass, Xiao Lou held his breath and silently counted down the time in his mind—
Ten seconds passed, and the circle he initially drew had become a Ring. Then came the second, the third, and so on. Because Xiao Lou used the technique of connecting Rings when drawing the circles, all the generated metal Rings were connected together and obscured by the green grass on the playground.
The zombie horde has finally arrived!
Xiao Lou stood in the center of the playground, calmly watching the horde of zombies before him.
There was not a trace of hesitation or fear in the man's dark, clear eyes.
To him, these zombies were nothing more than moving corpses; the Forensic Doctor feared nothing more than corpses.
In the instant the playground was overrun with zombies, Xiao Lou suddenly raised his right hand—
rise!!
All the rings drawn on the ground suddenly floated into the air at that moment, as if by magic!
The densely packed silver metal rings, like a giant net trap, rose into the air at Xiao Lou's command, trapping almost all the zombies!
A ring one meter in diameter would trap several zombies in the same loop. These zombies showed no sense of "coordinated action"; they moved forward and backward in disarray, quickly scattering and staggering. Each of their faces wore a blank expression, seemingly unable to understand why they were suddenly unable to move.
Zombies are inherently clumsy compared to humans and lack intelligence.
When several zombies were chained together by Ring, they lost their ability to move, unable to march in unison, and instead restrained and pulled at each other, completely losing their ability to move.
Xiao Lou looked at the horde of zombies lying scattered around him and smiled slightly.
A flash of light appeared at his fingertips, and he vanished without a trace once more.
Only a few hundred zombies were left stumbling around the playground, trapped in rings, unable to move at all.

Zombie Horde 2
Playing a ring toss game on the playground...
The zombies were so pitiful after meeting Xiao Lou, the Great Demon King:)
I recommend a novel by a friend: "Interstellar Shennong System" by Jianghu Taiyaosheng.
The protagonist travels through interstellar space. He originally wanted to continue acting, but was forced to accept a system called Shennong. From then on, he embarked on a path where farming and gourmet food go hand in hand, and live streaming and acting skills go hand in hand.
