The Zombie Rule Book: A Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide (17 page)

Only use barricades if you have to. When there is no other option you can make barricades from barbed wire, broken wine bottles and many other things.

Rule # 172
Rig an alarm system

Ok, you might not be great at electrical wiring, but anyone can make a great home alarm system using wire or rope with tin cans or bottles.

Rule # 173
Always be wary of other survivors

Be aware that zombies are not the only ones who may be after your flesh. There may be other survivors who are not only after your belongings, food supplies and weapons but they may be after your flesh too, for a quick barbecue.

Rule # 174
Use anything at your disposal as a weapon

Learn to use anything as a weapon. When push comes to shove you may be forced to use anything to hand as a weapon. Think vases, branches, fire or sand to throw in attacking survivors’ eyes. Think in terms of hammers, hatchets, pipes, wrenches, spades, rolling pins and kitchen knives.

Rule # 175
Make sure everyone in your group is prepared to kill

This is a must. Ensure that everyone in your group knows how to and is prepared to kill zombies and other survivors.

Rule # 179
Become an entrepreneur

Bartering is key for survival. Think like an entrepreneur, this way you can acquire food, drink, medical supplies and much more.

Rule # 180

Rule # 181
Text slang speech is dead

Text slang will become obsolete, no lol, m8, cul8r, only the good old Queen’s English. I suppose the zombie apocalypse brings some good news.

Rule # 182
Fashion is dead

Rule # 183
Make sure it’s a zombie
