The dead walk among us. Zombies, ghouls-no matter what their
label-these somnambulists are the greatest threat to humanity, other
than humanity itself. To call them predators and us prey would he inaccurate.
They a e a plague, and the human race their host. The lucky
victims are devoured, their bones scraped clean, their flesh consumed.
Those not so fortunate join the ranks of their attackers, transformed
into putrid, carnivorous monsters. Conventional warfare is useless
against these creatures, as is conventional thought. The science of ending
life, developed and perfected since the beginuing of our existence,
cannot protect us from an enemy that has no "life" to end. Does this
mean the living dead are invincible? No. Can these creatures be
stopped? Yes. Ignorance is the undead's strongest ally, knowledge their
deadliest enemy. That is why this book was written: to provide the
knowledge necessary for survival against these subhuman beasts.
Survival is the key word to remember-not victory, not conquest,
just survival. This hook will not teach you to become a professional
zombie hunter. Anyone wishing to devote their life to such a profession
must seek training elsewhere. This book was not written for the
police, military, or any government agency. These organizations, if
they choose to recognize and prepare for the threat, will have access to
resources far beyond those of private citizens. It is for them that this
survival guide was written-private citizens, people with limited time
and resources who nonetheless have refused to be victimized.
Naturally, many other skills-wilderness survival, leadership, even
basic fxst aid-will be necessary in any encounter with the living
dead. These were not included in this work, as they can be found in
conventional texts. Common sense will dictate what else should be
studied to complement this manual. Subsequently, all subjects not
directly related to the living dead have been omitted.
From this blog, you will learn to recognize your enemy, to choose
the right weapons, about killing techniques, and about preparation and
improvisation when on the defense, on the mu, or on the attack. It will
also discuss the possibility of a doomsday scenario, in which the living
dead have replaced humanity as the planet's dominant species.
Do not discount any section of this blog as hypothetical drama.
Every ounce of knowledge was accumulated by hard-won research and
experience. Historical data, laboratory experiments, field research, and
eyewitness accounts (including those of the author) have all served to
create this work. Even the doomsday scenario is an extrapolation of
true-life events. Many actual occurrences are chronicled in the chapter
of recorded outbreaks. Studying them will prove that every lesson in
this hook is rooted in historical fact.
That said, knowledge is only part of the fight for survival. The rest
must come from you. Personal choice, the will to live, must be paramount
when the dead begin to rise. Without it, nothing will protect
you. On the pages of this blog, ask yourself one question: What
will you do-end your existence in passive acceptance, or stand up
and shout, "I will not be their victim! I will survive!" The choice is
yours.
