Why is my throat so sore and who the devil left tubes in my arm???

The majority of you who will survive Z.A Day will not initially realise anything has happened at all, having been in a medically induced coma following a car crash/medical experiment gone wrong/gangland shooting/DIY accident.  So, when the drugs in your system finally flush themselves out of your shrivelled and malnourished body, the two main feelings you will be experiencing are disorientation and thirst.  That's right, think about it, when was the last time you had a tall glass of water?  That drip attached to your arm had long since emptied, so at this point I would advise removing this, along with any cannulas and other wires and tubes attached to you.  With the disorientation wearing off, the specter of dread should be beginning to take hold.  There's no one around, and you're fairly sure that the smear on the glass is a bloody hand print.  Firstly, slowly amble your way over to your side table, where hopefully the strange jug that is ever present in hospitals will be...present.  If not, put your thirst aside until you can find some bottled water.


Now slowly reach down to your bedside table, take out your clothes that will be neatly folded there,along with your zombie survival kit (which you should always carry) and after getting dressed, creep slowly to the door.  Peer down the corridors in order to access any threat from the Walking Dead.  Hopefully, the hospital will be clear, having been the starting point for most Zombies to work out from.  However, if a few do remain, gather your courage, take the "Spork" from your survival kit and go in for the kill.  A quick jab to the eye will usually do the trick, but make sure you mean it. 


Having made your way outside, follow the plans from the first post and find a safe place to plan your new life of survival. Please remember to take extra care around fellow survivors as your malnourished frame will look like one of the Recently Deceased.  If possible, make a sign to hang around your neck, as this may help to buy valuable seconds to convince them of your "Life Status"


In the near future I will answer some recent comments regarding the pros and cons of various vehicles, testing of close combat weapons, and as Christmas is just around the corner, a handy shopping guide for the future survivors in your family.


Until the next time, stay safe and as always, keep your wits, keep your brains.

  1. Dear Chris,
    Informative as ever thank you. Can you help clear up a point of discussion please. Some friends have told me that Zombie films are made with very little factual consideration and that I can't rely on blood soaked, ragged clothing as a safe identifier of undead. Can you offer any clarification?
    I think it's about time the scientific community starte taking their responsibility for protecting us all seriously. Rather than wasting money colliding things that no one can see.
    Regards,

  2. Dear Chris,

    None of us know what will cause the clearly inevitable Zombie Apocolypse, however what if it is a water based chemical contagiant that infects the world? How might we ascertain if Water is safe to drink and where can we find fresh water supplies?

    Best wishes
