The Zombie Rule Book: A Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide (8 page)

Meditation is very useful as this will help you to de-stress and give you a positive outlook on things. Be sure to meditate only when you are 100% safe. I suggest having someone on guard.

Rule # 65
Play a game

Try to have time when you play games, charades, give us a clue or I-spy a zombie is a great way to pass the time.

Rule # 66
Read

Read anything you can, learning from books is a great way to pass the time, you never know what skills you might pick up that could come in handy.

Rule # 67
Get Yourself a Map

Get yourself a map of your area and surrounding areas, cities, etc. The bigger the better as you won’t know until the apocalypse happens just where you will need to be headed. An A-Z is great. This item will increase your chances of survival greatly, so don’t forget to equip yourself with this now.

Rule # 68
Quarantine any survivors who may be infected

It is important to quarantine any fellow survivors who may be a risk to you, even if they have been bitten and you have managed to quickly remove the limb (which hopefully would prevent the virus spreading) it is important to keep them in quarantine for at least twenty-four hours, preferably forty-eight hours.

Rule # 69
Grenades

If you are lucky enough to be able to get your hands on grenades don’t waste them. They will be hard to come by, so if you do have grenades only use them in a life or death situation. Be aware that grenades would not necessarily kill zombies as you have to destroy the brain directly.

Rule # 70
Smelling salts

Try to make smelling salts part of your apocalypse preparations. You will need them for yourself and possibly other people. There will be plenty of blood and gore come the end of the world, also low blood sugar from dietary deficiencies may cause fainting.

Rule # 71
Chew gum

Only chew sugar-free chewing gum. This will help with your dental hygiene, and you do see commanding officers chewing gum so there’s got to be something in it.

Rule # 72
Never get emotionally attached

To a zombie or a fellow new survivor. Your emotions may be your downfall and may make you let your guard down and think differently, putting yourself and others in danger.

Rule # 73
Cereal bars

Cereal bars are an awesome form of nourishment. When you run out steal as many of these as you can, they will keep you going strong for hours.

Rule # 74
Learn languages

Get others to teach you new languages. Learning a new language from a member of your team will be a great asset to you, especially when encountering other survivors.

Rule # 75
Goggles or protective eyewear

Goggles are a great idea. Think like a mad scientist or a steam-punk enthusiast. If you can get your hands on them, they will prevent blood splatter going into your eyes.
