The Zombie Rule Book: A Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide (21 page)

Whatever you do don’t get scratched by a zombie. It will most likely end up killing you but may take longer to infect you than a bite. If you get scratched go for the same tactics as if you have been bitten by removing the body part before the infection has time to spread throughout the body.

Rule # 220
Always wipe clean your weapons

Don’t bring any blood into your base. Clean off weapons first. Make this a daily ritual.

Rule # 221
No second chances

Remember there are no second chances. Okay, you may come back as a zombie but you only get one shot at normal life.

Rule # 222
Never let the zombies win

Always remember this, never ever let the zombies win.

Rule # 223
Beware of children

You may encounter young children who from behind look innocent enough but if they are infected they are as dangerous as the bigger zombies. But they will be more agile. Don’t be afraid to treat them as if they are normal zombies. They are just smaller versions of the walking virus.

Rule # 224
Never cover your body in their skin or organs for camouflage

This is unhygienic; they carry all sorts of germs and diseases. If their blood goes anywhere near you (even a drop) wash it off thoroughly, you may have open cuts or blood may go into your mouth or eyes. Learn to keep away from zombies whether living or dead.

Rule # 225
Pimp your ride

If you do have to use transport such as cars, pimp them out first with barriers, metal fences, anything that will give you that extra protection. You can even add sharpened bamboo or spikes to knock zombies out of the way.

Rule # 226
One bullet rule

Always keep one bullet by just in case! I hope that you never have to use it, but rather that than the crazed zombies devouring your flesh when you are alive.

Rule # 227
Don’t be a hero and show off

Whatever you do don’t be a hero and show off, this will get you killed. Don’t try to impress anyone, stay focused on your own survival.

Rule # 228
You can’t reason with a zombie

Remember you can’t reason with a zombie (no matter how much you scream at it). Even if it is a family member or a friend or even a neighbor that you have known all your life, it will only end badly. You will be wasting your time and putting yourself and other fellow survivors at risk.

Rule # 229
Don’t get yourself backed into a corner

This will get you killed. You will have nowhere to go. Always be on the look out and take note of where you are going. This rule applies down alleys and also sideways. Make a mental note of this so as you are moving you are constantly looking for ways out. Don’t enter places that don’t have multiple exits.

Rule # 230
Don’t back track

Whatever you do don’t back track. If you go back there may be zombies or even unwanted survivors. You don’t want to get yourself lost and end up walking into either a trap or worse.
