3. The Three M’s of the Zombie While a zombie can take a number of various shambling, corpse-driven forms, in the interests of survival it is best to prepare the worst. In this regard, your typical zombie will present a formidable foe. Movement The cause of zombification is not well documented. Origins range from infection, magic, government conspiracy and more. However, in a worst-case scenario it should be expected that the zombie will be a driven hunter-seeker trying to fulfill an unquenchable desire for living flesh. Expect your average zombie to be capable of equivalent living motor functions. This includes running and jumping. No serious zombie survivalist should ever believe the Z.A. will feature ‘shambler’ zombies. Metabolism Though there is constant debate as to ‘why’, what is known for certain about zombies is that they have a savage appetite for living creatures. A zombie is somewhat more pliant once it has recently fed and will stop to fully gorge upon any potential meal before moving onto the next prey. Most tragically, whatever curse or infection a zombie suffers under is transferred to those bitten by a zombie leading to complete zombification in 6-12 hours. Amorality Zombies are without a moral conscious and are incapable of free will. Attempts to reason with, bribe or otherwise influence zombie behavior will only encourage a quicker end. Likewise, it is unwise to linger over moralistic questions about the zombie’s former living identity. Zombies are no longer people but rather shells filled with savage rage and bloodlust.

When zombies come knocking at the door, a high security rating is essential to survival.

(good assumption), you will have to get to your chosen location. Once there, you will eventually have to get your self out as well. if word arrives that governmental officials are engaging in a sweep and clear event. Distractibility: You might be in your shelter for a long time. The ability of a shelter to offer distractions (ie – options for entertainment) is not to be overlooked. Sitting in a basement for several months eating can goods and waiting for the zombies to come is hardly a good time. If you don’t give your mind some release from the stress of the Apocalypse, you are likely to suffer severe negative effects.

He is, after all, crazy. • Ease of Entry and Exit:  • - Unfortunately, the same sort of paranoia that led a typical suburban to create a small zombie proof home is likely to encourage C.U.K to assume that any humanoids seen walking during a Z.A. are already zombies.
