Section 1, B:

GETTING AWAY

Some people bring up the possibility of a cleansing of sorts using extreme means such as high explosives or even nuclear weapons. When we consider this possibility, however, it does not make tactical sense. If this cleansing is to take place, it would not take place in rural areas as the low population of humans would mean a low population of zombies as well. The military could burn half the countryside and still barely make a dent in the zombie population. It would make more sense, tactically speaking, to torch the major cities as this would eliminate the major populations and therefore eliminate the zombies. There is an obvious problem with this tactic, however, as the public outcry would be far too great even if you assume the government was able to keep it secret from 90% of the remainder of the population. The only way the military could afford to burn the population centers would be if they were already involved in the conflict and made an attempt to clear out the survivors beforehand. If the zombies have become so much of a problem that the military is considering involvement, I think it can be reasonably assumed that you have a plan and if the military is considering a cleansing, I think we are past the point of wondering at government involvement.

Keep in mind that when you abandon your home, you must have a goal. That is absolutely important, and you must have it organized well enough so that you don’t do the classic horror film thing: person is running, screaming, running, gets to door, slams it, turns around and leans up against the door to let out a sigh. As (s)he does so, (s)he notices the large number of zombies that were trapped within and were stunned silent by the sudden intrusion, but now make short work of him/her. Make sure that where you are going you will be welcomed and need not fight your way in. Also, make sure that where you are going does not need to have every large window secured or anything of the like. You want a place in which you are secure nearly immediately, even if only temporarily, you must be able to move into a space and not be immediately under attack from the zombies within. If you are not sure of an area’s security, make sure you have the resources available to make the area secure. Whatever you do, don’t, under any circumstances head for the first standing seemingly solid structure that you see without being prepared to deal with the problems it may contain. The inhabitants may have crawled inside after being bitten outside, only to become zombies within. Or, perhaps there is a gap in the wall and a few zombies wandered in and got lost and so stopped moving for a while, until you showed up. Not to mention the threat of people within being a little trigger happy and willing to shoot at anything that moves to make sure “they don’t get him/her!” These along with any number of other factors could hinder your safety in the process of finding safety. Make sure stupidity is not the reason for your downfall, should it occur – be prepared for anything and assume nothing.
