Hello and welcome guest
I am Professor Owren Mauser; and I'm here to teach you about the many things of the 'undead'.
Zombies are fascinating creatures.Though they do pose a threat to our being. With this guide and the knowledge you're about to receive however; the hoard of undead won't seem as frightening. Not to mention with the proper knowledge could very well save your life.

Zom-bie (Zom-bee) noun 1. (in voodoo) the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural force, usually for some evil purpose. 2. A reanimated corpse that feeds on the living |
Zombies are the corpse of someone who has passed away; and then under circumstances rises up again and is reanimated.
This being isn't alive; but isn't dead either.
Such is the reasoning for referring them as; the 'undead'.
They feel no pain; have excellent stamina. However they're often slow minded; and have poor motor skills. They run on one very primitive thought.
Food.
And what is a zombie's main choice for his diet?
Why it's you.
It is unknown why a reanimated zombie chooses the life of cannibalism. But one of the many theories is for needed protein.
The more protein the zombie gets; the less it'll decompose and remain healthy and move along better.
And being creatures that eat a variety of foods; we supply all the needed vitamins for a zombie.
Of course this is only a theory; but it's the more plausible one up to date.
This topic is still under study, and hopefully one day we'll figure it out.
For now you must remember you're the prey to a zombie; and you need to be prepared when dealing with one.
Soon
Let's look at two basic types of zombies.
Notice anything?
Both type A and B in the photos are the same zombie.
But what happened; you may ask?
Time.
Time is what turned type A zombie into a type B.
Over time and without a good diet; a zombie starts to slow down and decompose. This results in a much slower less threatening reanimated corpse. But just like any zombie; both are dangerous and could be a threat to you. so I will provide the knowledge on these two; and how to deal with them.
What you should do:
A: The best option is to find a professional to dispose of the zombie.
B: Sneak away; A zombie types have good hearing and eyesight. So stick to shadows and stay low. Find a safe zone to be better protected.
C: If fleeing isn't an option. Hide; It's often best to hide from the zombie instead of attacking and making yourself known.
D: As a last resort; attack. Be certain to be as quiet as possible when doing so; you don't want to attract more.
Type B:
The 'B' type zombie is a very sluggish thing; and is way past his glory days of running around.
B' types are sluggish; and lack all motor skills. Unlike 'A' types they cannot grab you and pull you to them. They often just lunged and fall ontop of their prey. They're not quick minded and seem to have poor memory; often forgetting about their prey if it hides in wait long enough.
So what makes these poor excuse of a zombie so threatening?
Numbers.
These zombies seem to be the majority of ones that form hoards. This can be from ten zombies to even one hundred of them. And once one notices you; he'll make a fuss and always draw in more and more. making their numbers increase; and all of them focused on you.
What you should do:
A: Leave; just walk away from it. Also remember to keep out of their site. Because of their poor eyesight however; sticking to shadows isn't needed. Just walk at a slow steady pace and try not to make any noises.
B: find someone who can professionally and quietly take him out.
C: Hide; just like with the 'A' type hiding is better then confronting it.
D: As a last resort attack it; but be prepared one you attack and dispatch it you need to be on the move immediately. All 'B' type zombies holler and moan when attacked; as a defense to draw in its brethren.
If you find one without a check mark it's a 50/50. some people don't mark the house as they leave; while of course there's a chance it didn't due it's job. I'd suggest only using the unmarked ones when you have no choice.
And of course if you find a safe house full of blood and gore...Well you want to avoid those.
--------------------
I'll also be telling you the best way to build yourself a safe house. Starting with deciding on a building.
the best buildings are usually like this:
One that doesn't have many windows. Zombies can see you through windows.
A building with a front and back door. So you have another way out.
A two story building. It's often very safe to rest on an upper story when you blocked off the stairs.
a building were you can get to the roof. Sometimes the view of your surroundings is very helpful.
and finally; one with a fire escape. Again; having an extra escape route never hurts.
Now that we've established the best sort of building time to see what you'll need.
Wood.
Nails.
A hammer, or something that can used as one.
A crow bar or Axe
heavy furniture.
The wood and nails; while one might think they're there to board up doors; are actually there for the windows. It's suggested to either board up or tape up the windows. So that way nothing can look in on you. The upper windows should also be covered as well if you plan on visiting any of the rooms. If you run out of wood start breaking things for the wood. (such as tables).
The heavy furniture such as beds, cabinets, wardrobes should be used to prop against the doors if you're surrounded. that way the item can always be shoved aside.
However if you have a crowbar or an axe; boarding the doors up would be best. As then you have the means to yank the wood off if needed.
Once you secured the house to make sure nothing can get in; it's time to make sure you have a flawless way of getting out. Or a place to run to. Think of it as a safe area in your own safe house. Test out your escape routes.
Or be creative and make traps if you're paranoid. Depending on how long you wish to stay; you could go and collect food; weapons and hold up there as long as you want. Just remember; light and loud noises attract the hoard; so be careful when night time arrives.
