Zombies like this picture over. A classic example of zombies. Zombies Feed off a human, they don't need air Breathe and they can live underwater. The only way to one is shoot it in the head. Zombies are not living humans, so you can kill them. The Zombie Threat is very dangerous if u get bit the only to stop the infection is kill the person, or in theory cut off the limb where it's been scratched or bit. The zombie virus named Solomon. It can only be transferred by blood and can not be treated with antibiotics. Zombie have no souls. They are not people. Even family, THERE DEAD ZOMBIES NOW!
Outbreak levels:
The following are the 4 classes of the solanum virus.
1. the class one outbreak is usually very secluded. it will happen in a 3rd world country. the radius of such an outbraek would not exceed 20 miles. the number of infected will range from about 1 to 20. this outbraek will usually last only about 24 hours. class 1 outbreaks will usually not attract the press
2. the class 2 outbreak takes place in urban or densely populated areas. the amount of living dead will range from about 20 to 100. the radius of this outbreak will usually be no more than 100 miles. local law enforcement and civillians will be replaced with federal police, even a military presence such as the national gaurd would be present. this outbreak wil last no longer than a class 1. the military presence will take a more non combatent roll, to provide food and medical assistance as to not raise panic. the press will be attracted. the story is most likely not going to be reported acurately.
3. the class 3 outbreak is a true crisis. zombies wil number in the 1000's the infectious radius wil be several hundreds of miles.the duration of this outbreak and the mop up will be as long as several months. there is no chance of the government covering anything up. the event will create to many eyewitnesses. the military and the federal police wil be involved in a full blown battle. regular military is called in. large military vehicles are also called in as well. excpect martial law, restricted travel, rationed supplies, federalized services, strictly monitored communication, and cerfews. its possible the military will set a cerfew such as the following: all people must be in their homes by 7:00 PM or they will be shot. this is a very effective way for the military to sort the zombies from the humans. riots will occur.
4. the class 4 outbreak is a hopeless outbreak. the doomsday. the undead would be the majority number on the planet. with maybe 10 to 70 000 living humans left. survival here is definitley not gaurunteed and it is porbable that the government has failed, the military has failed and the world has failed. this class will see no end. there will be no press to report this.
Ways to tell if theres an outbreak :
here are some ways to tell if an outbreak has occured.
1. if there is a press black out, this is often becuase the government is trying to cover something up and get it sorted out so that people will not panic.
2. if you here on the news of homocides where the victims have been shot in the head. or there is anything to do with biting.
3. the press will often blame attacks or attackers on a strand of mad cow disease or west nile.
if you are suspicious an outbreak has occured near you you MUST formulate a plan and get your equipment together. its important that you train yourself with your weapons and equipment so that you know what to do and how to use it
Zombies: good to know facts :
The guide attributes the zombie outbreaks described to a virus known as "Solanum". The disease was first recorded by Jan Vanderhaven, while traveling through South Africa. He described people who were infected with the disease as showing festering sores, mottled skin, and decomposing flesh. He also said they show no rational thought or recognition of anything familiar to them. They neither sleep nor drink water, and reject any food beside living prey, snapping at all who pass. A hospital orderly threw a living rat at an infected individual, who then consumed it whole.
Solanum is described as working by traveling through the bloodstream from the point of entry to the brain, where the virus replicates all cells in the frontal lobe, while destroying them. All bodily functions cease during this period, including respiration and heartbeat. The infected individual eventually is in a coma during this period and awakes as a zombie. The zombie will not need air, food, water, or even a heart to live. Their one and only goal will be to find and infect other individuals and the only way to stop that is to destroy the brain or remove the head. If the zombie is decapitated, the head still remains a threat.
The symptoms occur in this order. The timeline may be several hours off, depending on the number and location of the bites, and the composition of the victim.
Hour 1- Pain and discoloration of the infected area. Immediate clotting of the wound.
Hour 5- Fever between 99 F. and 103 F. Chills, slight dementia, vomiting, and acute pain in the joints.
Hour 8- Numbing of extremities and infected area, increased fever from 103 F to 106 F. increased dementia, loss of muscular coordination
Hour 11- Paralysis in the lower body, overall numbness, slowed heart rate
Hour 16- Coma
Hour 20- Heart stoppage, zero brain activity
Hour 23- Reanimation
Solanum is 100% communicable and 100% fatal. Contact with infected blood or saliva always result in infection. Ingestion of infected flesh results in permanent death unless the victim has open mouth sores. Solanum is fatal to any and all creatures, however humans are the only ones who will reanimate. Insects such as mosquitoes reject infected hosts 100% of the time. All animals will instinctively run, swim or fly away from zombies.
The solanum viruses enters the blood stream through an open wound. once it enters the bloodstream it moves into the brain. it uses the cells from the frontal lobe of the brain, for replication. it then destroys these cells. then all bodily functions cease, making the subject dead. all the while the brain remains alive but dormant while the mutates the cells to create a brand new organ all together. the virus does not need any of the other organs below the head and can in fact still be a threat even when the head is severed.
Physical attributes of the zombie.
it is sometimes said that zombies have superhuman powers. fortunately for us this is most definitely incorrect. since the zombie came from a previously human being, it uses its body. so basically unless the human before hand could disappear or create force fields, the zombie definitely can not.
Eye sight
in allot of Hollywood zombie movies, the zombies eyes appear to be faint, white, or sometimes even brite red. again this is also a false fact. the living dead keep the same pigmentation in the eyes as its former owner did. often humans (even if trying to mimic a zombie) have quicker sharper movements than zombies do. the zombies' keen eye sight spots this flaw and is able to react in a time of about .10 seconds.
Sound
zombies have excellent hearing. they can detect sound as well as determine its location. zombies are attracted to any sounds not just those of creatures or humans for that matter.
smell
zombies' smell is probably their best of their sences. several laboratory tests have shown that zombies can detect fresh flesh from rotten or zombie flesh. this is how they tell the zombies from the living human.
touch/nervous system
zombies have no nervous system. they can not feel. when tipicle humans get hurt, they look at their wound and then the brain tells them if it is bad, or not so bad through comon knowlege and expreience. this unfortunate flaw is something that the zombies do not have. zombies can not reason, so they can not possibly be swayed by the fact that they have a hole in their stomach or they are missing an arm.
Healing * (important)
it is absolutely impossible to heal a fully infected zombie. fortunately, there has been records of healing a freshly bitten person depending on the extremity of the bite. if a victim has been bitten on the hand, or the heal or foot, it is in fact possible to give the person a chance if you amputate the limb within a period of 5 seconds of the bite time. this gives you a 1 in 10 chance that the victim will survive. any longer than 5 seconds and the virus will already be past the limb joint and into the torso or the brain.
decomposition
a zombie has an average life span of 3 to 5 years. why cant zombies live forever? millions of micro organisms continually brake down and deteriorates all dead matter. its natures way of renewing food and nutrients back into the ecosystem. since the zombies are in fact dead they will continue to attack until their bodies have actually been eroded or eaten. this takes about 3 to 5 years depending on the condition. of coarse detraction will occur faster in the jungle than in the arctic.
Speed
zombies can not run. in some big movies such as dawn of the dead, or 28 days later, the zombies can in fact run. this is another false fact. the zombies' ack of coordination makes for an unsteady stride. the fastest zombie has been clocked at 1.5 seconds per stride. now here is one thing humans take for granted in zombies. yes they are slow. and you are standing there with your hammer or axe waiting for one to get to you. you swing at the zombie with your axe or hammer, and if you do not deliver a fatal blow you often do not have enough time for another shot because once the zombies reach you its only a matter of extending their arms and grabbing you, and sinking their teeth into your neck. they do not feel pain so they most definitely will not flinch as you wind up to strike. see do-it-yourself tips for more information
strength
zombies will have the exact strength and agility as the former owners of their bodies had. for example: if a larger lady was reanimated into a zombie she would obviously be a little more slow moving but would have all the same muscular power as the former woman had to support this wait. if a skinny male was turned into a zombie he would have the better agility than the female simply because he is smaller, more light weight.
- zombies do not have the power to reason or think
- zombies don't carry emotions
- zombies can not speak
- zombies can not remember their former life
- a zombies' only need is the need to feed
- the only way to kill a zombie is to destroy the brain
- the infected blood of a silenced zombie is still infected with solanum so if it gets in a wound, you too are infected
- a zombie is independent. there is no boss hog in the zombie world, they all eat for themselves and move on their own. if they are seen in a pack it is because they all are fallowing the same need at the same place not because they are being commanded
note: a human being relies on its eye sight as the primary seance. zombies can use all of their senses equally and are just as dangerous without eyes as they are with eyes
Frequently asked questions
1. can zombies run?
- no their poor coordination limits their speed.
2. can a bitten victim be cured?
- no, if medication is involved, like Tylenol or Advil, it will most likely speed p the process. it is possible to amputate the infected limb but only within seconds. this Will give the victim a 1 in 10 chance of surviving.
3. where should i go in case of a zombie attack?
- a 2 story building is often the best bet.
4. can zombies read my mind?
- no. zombies possess all the same traits as the former owner of their body.
5. do zombies come from graves?
- no. first of all its impossible for the virus to get down to them. second of all if it did manage to make its way down then they would have no way of getting out of the grave.
6. do i have to remove the Head to kill a zombie?
- yes. removing the head is one way. but note that even a severed head can still bite until you destroy the brain.
7. are zombies really the living dead?
- yes. technically, the state of the human being dies before it is reanimated to a zombie.
8. i have a basement is it true i should hide there in an event of an attack?
- no. get out of the basement and get to higher ground. not on top of a mountain or hill however. to a 2 story house would be best.
9. is it legal for me to kill zombies?
- it depends. usually the first stages of an outbreak result in the first defenders prosecuted because their defence was considered a homicide. but by the time the zombies get to you it will most likely be known that there is an outbreak and you will definitely not be tried. of coarse only use the legal weapons. in some cases a well used sword can be better than a machine gun.
