A GUIDE TO THE UNDEAD
Emergence
At the dawn of the 18th century, the Terrore virus emerged. Patient Zero, a boy named William Bernard, bit 3 members of his family. Within 3 days, thousands of people ravaged local headlines as “zombies” until 1768, when many of them hibernated for centuries. Many called it a legend, but no one knew the horror that would emerge.
Serrano Creek. A lovely graveyard, until February of 2014. Historians did not think much of it, but they were wrong. In fact, this small, ancient graveyard in Greece hosted the first zombies that would lead to the annihilation of three continents. In fact, the first zombie, coined “Horroros”, emerged from the graveyard and attacked 3 families on February 23rd, 2014,

which lead to the most murders from a single source since . Within a year, the zombies ravaged the nation of Greece until it broke down into anarchy. The Terrore virus was like no other. Only one tribe in Asia survived - and this guide will The rise of the undead annihilated Europe and Africa, and few survived the onslaught in Asia. Now, the Zombies arrived in Oregon, our worst fear. However, we must learn from the small tribe in Asia that survived this epidemic, to avoid getting infected ourselves. Avoiding the Disease Luckily, the Terrore virus is not airborne.
There are three ways to spread this disease:
Contact of gangrene
Blood-blood contact
Saliva-blood contact
No vaccine is available for this disease, so avoid anybody who displays these symptoms, as these are early signs of Terrore.
Extremely anti-social behavior: Patients avoid social interaction, and grunt and groan at the sight of another person.
Partial or total color-blindness: The Terrore virus destroys cones, making patients unable to perceive colors except weak shades of red and blue.
Bloody or blackened areas around arms: This virus attacks the central nervous system, and saps resources from the arms first, before changing the host’s brain to spread this disease first.
Within 2 hours, people displaying these symptoms will become full-fledged zombies. If anyone in a general vicinity exhibits these symptoms, call 811 immediately and evacuate to a safer location as soon as

possible. Anatomy To survive the zombies, we must first understand their anatomy to survive.
For example, a tribe in Asia understood the anatomy of the zombie and still remains unscathed to this day, despite no human beings existing in a 100-mile vicinity.
ARM ANATOMY
The small tribe who survived the apocalypse instantly discovered that gangrene begins to form in the triceps and ulnaris, which infects those who come in contact with it. However, some parts of this transformed body do not become infected by the Terrore virus. Nevertheless, the Brachialis and Axilla still contain all the nerves vital for zombie brains, and if people target these points, the arms of those infected with the Terrore virus will fall off.
Pressure points in zombies are indicated here. Attacking these points will disarm the zombie immediately.
LEG ANATOMY
While the arm is the primary source of infection, the legs also carry a small amount of gangrene. Consequently, healthy people can quickly be infected by a seemingly trivial kick from an infected zombie, even if it is disarmed.
A picture of an infected leg (right) The normal human leg is located on the left. Gangrene deposits appear on the kneecap.
FACIAL
ANATOMY Thousands of nerves lead to the faces of zombies, so their face is an optimal place to strike. Moreover, people cannot be infected from the face unless a zombie bites another person. As a result, the best place to hit a zombie at a long range distance is on the face. Use a bow and arrow to attack the zombies, as lead bullets do not affect them. Corpse Disposal To prevent future infection, the disposal of zombie and human corpses are extremely important. Notwithstanding the many warnings shown to the public, people tend to paralogize the information they receive on corpse disposal - assuming that the virus cannot spread through dead bodies unless the infected person becomes a zombie. This is a dangerous misconception - a small section of the human population do not visibly show gangrene while infected, and can still spread the virus by direct contact when dead. This is why proper corpse disposal is important - use lead gloves and NEVER touch a dead zombie body. Food, Water, and Shelter The Terrore virus is exceptionally lethal - people infected with it will transform into zombies within a few hours, and most will die from starvation or thirst within a week. As food and water are in low supply with high demand, you’ll need a plan to access food and water. Water I: Groundwater The easiest way to acquire water is Water II: Desalination Building Plan
As said in the previous discussion regarding the second chapter of Better Off Dead: The Evolution of the Zombie as Post-Human, zombies and their culture are examined and broke down in order to understand their motives for the progression of zombies globally. Through different perspectives from individuals based around the world, the discussion of the zombie culture debates over the idea that zombies have not just evolved within the narratives that have brought them to life, but they have evolved in such a way that ultimately transforms the narrative itself. However, in this specific chapter, “They are not men…they are dead bodies!”: From Cannibal to Zombie and Back Again, Chera Kee breaks down the introduction of zombies into mainstream consciousness,
The zombie race is very different. It doesn't not have many abilities and is not advanced like humans. Their behavior patterns are different. They cannot stand cold or winter weather. Their behavior is very different and difficult to calculate. They usually stand around lingering and waiting to attack when they hear something. They follow noises.Some abilities that they do have is that they have excellent hearing and can walk but aren't blind.The also can smell human blood. Zombies are generally weak but don’t underestimate what they can do to a human.
As the infection spreads, only Israel initiates a nationwide quarantine program and closes its borders. Pakistan and Iran destroy one another in a nuclear war, after Iran attempts to stem the flow of refugees from Pakistan. The United States does little to prepare, as it is sapped of political will by several "brushfire wars" and lulled into a false sense of security by an ineffective and fraudulently marketed vaccine. When the world recognizes the true scope of the problem, a period known as the "Great Panic" begins. The United States Army sends a task force to Yonkers, New York, in a high-profile military campaign intended to restore American morale. Instead, the troops are overwhelmed and routed by the zombies, due to reliance on tactics designed for human enemies, who can be demoralized into retreat...
A zombie is a monster that has been a horror movie legacy for many years now. Zombie is defined as “a dead person who is able to move because of magic according to some religions and in stories, movies, etc.” Zombies haven’t always been the creature that we see today though. George A. Romero merged the old-forgotten zombie into the standardized version we see today. James Conroy writes, “With his 1968 film Night of the Living Dead, George Romero brought the concept of the slow-moving, flesh-eating zombie into mainstream American culture.”
“Grrrraaaahhh” someone behind me yelled. I yelped loudly as I jumped and turned sharply around. There stood another zombie with a bright red mask who was also wearing a dark black cloak. But this zombie had a bloody axe in one hand causing me to scream very loudly. As I bolted in the opposite direction back out the entrance. I ran in between 2 of the arcade booths, then looked over my shoulder and sighed in relief as I realized this zombie hadn’t followed me.
The idea of a zombie is made up and it comes from nzambi, the Kongo word for the spirit of a dead person. In states such as Louisiana, or the Creole culture they believe zombies represent a person who has dies and brought back to life with no speech. Kings psychological argument on how we have an urge to watch horror movies because it helps to re-establish our feelings and feel natural again. Klusterman’s sociological essay helped us see the comparison of zombies and humans in real life. In conclusion zombies are not real, they are make believe but help bring a sense of normality to

We don’t see anything resembling a zombie until the third act. Even then, the “monsters” aren’t mindless brain eaters. They’re just decomposing at an accelerated rate.
In Night of the Living Dead, the zombies were eventually eliminated. Or were they? Theorists argue that the monster’s elusiveness is due to its physical, psychological and social characteristics that cross the lines of classification. Human’s innate fear of the unknown is due to their inability to make a distinction or draw a clear conclusion. This is explained further in Jeffrey Cohen’s second thesis in “Monster Theory” that claims that; “the monster never escapes” (Cohen, 14). The zombie as a monster can never be destroyed completely and if it is, it leaves a remnant the make people feel uncertain of its destruction. Base on Cohen’s theory, the zombie’s different interpretation allows it to emerge in other forms (a faster, smarter zombie?)
A person who has been infected by the disease may experience signs of fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and a red rash that appears blotchy. Generally the signs become present between ten and twenty-one days after the person has been exposed to and infected by the virus (Silverstein et al., 1998). This is what is known as the incubation period (Plum, J., 2001). The rash is most likely to begin on the chest, back, or the scalp, but will soon spread to the rest of the body. After a couple days of having physical evidence of the infection, the rash will s...
You don’t want to die alone now do you? Grab a partner or a friend as a meat shield so you can run away while they stand there getting slaughtered. Make sure you find some shelter and a nice secure door so they won’t be able to get in because zombies love breaking the doors down. If you’ve lost your mind because you’re not smart, you might hide in a house and be scared to death. Use your brain and go out there! Your brain might not be the most powerful tool for fighting, but you might’ve been dead before you could even fight with your brain. Fight ‘till every last zombie has died or until you died because your brain probably won’t help you at all with math equations, and writing essays because that’s not the point in the zombie
The symptoms were blisters of the skins with puss and bleeding with high fever. The government was very aware and thought they had a vaccine but the micro-organism morphed into another pathogen that was airborn and the previous vaccine was no
The existence of zombies in Haitian religion was brought attention to by Wade Davis, a Harvard ethnobotanist. In 1982, he traveled to Haiti to investigate the concept of zombies and from his investigations he concluded that a living person could become a zombie. He i...
In recent years, there have been a plethora of film releases that pertain to the central topic of zombies. Typically “zombies thrive in popular culture during times of recession, epidemic and general unhappiness” (Drezner). Zombie films began around the 1920’s, and continue to fill modern day theatres. These films, although dramatized for entertainment, are something that truly could, and have, occurred. These films have been modernized, in order to fit the desires and demands of a modern-day audience, and therefore are tremendously different from their original zombie-film counterparts.
I will now proceed to amaze you by telling you that from a medical point of view zombies are possible. With the tweaking of a virus a zombie apocalypse can happen or at least something that closely resembles the principles that define a zombie. Which are it feeds on humans, has no concept of right or wrong, essentially is brain dead,works to spread the virus,transmit it through direct fluid contact with other humans blood stream or brain, and is killed by the destruction of the grey matter in their brains. Now you may be saying how in the world do you get that to happen. I will now explain that medically and scientifically a zombie virus is possible.
