"I feel that if you are prepared for a plague of zombies, you are prepared for most natural disasters," said Brooks. "For me, zombie survival is not on guns, violence and biting toenail action.We live in a culture that thrives in hype and picnics, and this is a recipe for disaster. I always tell people,'In a crisis, think about what Congress or Fox News would do and then do the opposite.' "Brooks says the only thing he wishes he could get back to his book about preparing for the dead apocalypse is a chapter on avoiding what he calls "overintuitive preparers". "When I wrote The Zombie Survival Guide, almost no one I was wondering how to survive a plague without death. Now, literally, millions of people are thinking about what they would do, and in these millions, there must be a percentage that actually, really, really wants that to happen. These people scare me more thanzombies. A zombie plague may or may not happen, but mentally unbalanced, well-armed citizens, trigger-finger itching is definitely a reality. "And while more and more writers and filmmakers are creating new zombies to be afraid of every few months (Catch Warm Bodies this Friday!) He remains a traditionalist. "I'm just focused on the ones whoalways scared me," he said. "For all other questions, press 2 for Zack Snyder, press 3 for Danny Boyle, press 4 for guy Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, or press 5 to stay on the line for other minutes while someone else m thinks more of a new kind of zombie. "And if you're thinking of war Z, Brooks saw the trailer and not much else. "It's hard toform an opinion that. well, it's hard for me." Me. " told. "Most people on Interweb seem to have no problem in that department. I think we'll all just have to wait and see." The Zombie Survival Guide is book written by Max Brooks.The title is self-explanatory. The book provides a detailed account on how to survive zombie outbreaks (all fourgames). Written in a deadpan snarker tone, it's a humorous look at what the average person would have to do to survive the zombie apocalypse, complete with a guide to organizing proper food and gun stores. In addition , it explains how, if possible, acquire a remote plot of land, and details describing how to turn it into a place to live for abouttwenty years, or that zombies have decomposition. It also m provides information about what a zombie is , common myths, how to identify an outbreak of zombies (the government is covering) and historical examples of zombies and how it all turned out. It followed three years later by world war Z in which the characters make occasionalreference to it, usually saying How it was not very good.brooks also wrote the Guide to Zombie Survival recorded Attacks, a comic book representing some of the attacks recorded with the art of Brazilian artist Ibraim Roberson.This book provides examples of: 90% of your brain: cited by the Author (who actually claims as 5% of the brain beingused by humans) as a possible means by which a zombie can have access to senses that are not normally available for life. As the book is presenting only hypothetical speculation instead of assigning any real zombie abilities to this, it may be a case of an error in the Universe by the author. Ambiguous syntax: The Los Angeles recorded attacks talksabout the deaths of the original gang members involved in the incident, which may leave some ambiguity about whether it just means the gang that was hidden in a zombie spree, or the gang their old rivals who showed up to fight them, but ended up fighting alongside them. Androcles'Lion: During Attacks recorded few survivors of the Egyptiancity of Al-Marq, after being rescued by an Israeli force, managed to convince their own soldiers (who arrived after the battle) not to kill the captured Israelis who were sent home. At national level, the author proposes this as a possible reason behind Egypt and Israel by escalating hostilities against each other. Brooks holds that most of the armorwould be dead weight when he ran from zombies. Most of the zombie bites occur in the arms and legs, while modern armor focuses on the best armor in the center of the mass. In addition, chain mail is usually very noisy and will only attract more zombies to you, and the heavy armor of the plate is just suicidal. The best protection is to become harderto grasp first, wearing tight clothing and short hair. That being said, he mentions that shark suits, although still noisy, are specifically designed to protect against jaws much stronger than those of a zombie, and are especially useful when fighting zombies underwater. Although given that zombies can survive under the waves without the need foroxygen, the threat of underwater zombies makes it a crucial advice. Biology: Some examples. The idea that the solanum virus makes zombie meat a universal poison. And it is not mentioned once or twice. It is stated that each animal of each ecosystem recognizes and escapes from the smell of zombie meat. Even other bacteria and viruses do not dareoccupy a body that is infected with Solano. It mentions that there are some types that can infect a corpse infected by the solano, otherwise they did not decompute, but which are not mentioned. It also says that all the nerve endings of a zombie are not functional. Not just pain receptors, but all of them. If that were true, the damn things wouldn't evenbe able to crawl, much lessbecause they would have no sense of their own positions and could not detect Any given appendix was touching the tea or not. A dry body would be so cold that it would fall apart. By all accounts, Solano's functions are a biological impossibility without some kind of supernatural element. The book takes the pain toemphasize that all bodily processes (including blood circulation and breathing, the only utility of which is (groaning to humans to attract more) They are closed, because sole only needs to use a cadever as a vector to spread more. However, without the ingestion of blood or oxygen, a zombie would not be able to move since the muscles need oxygenand nutrients to function properly. This book resurrects (intended punishment) the old chestnut full of stories about humans just using five% of its brain capacity. The scene of the slave ship would not work, as Solanum takes so long to incubate that most slaves would have died of thirst long before reaching them. Artistic history: Ancient Romans werenot as pragmatic and rational as the book suggests; They attributed success and disgrace heavily to divine signs and presupposes. In the book a zombie attack in China was mentioned. They say the zombies are attacking a nuclear power plant in 1987. What is The problem with radioactive zombies in China? There were no nuclear plants in Chinauntil the nineties, and they produced less radiation than most power plants in the Shit. The zombie attack tells of an American sailor in Taiwan dating from 1901, and mentions a platoon of Chinese nationalist troops accompanying the coast party. But they shouldn't even be there, since the nationalist government wasn't established in China until 1911. Taiwan was also A Japanese colony in 1901 after the First Sino-Japanese War. China did not claim Taiwan until 1945. Brooks mentions a Japanese war unit from the second WWII era called BLACK DRAGON, which tested zombie van in Japanese dissidents. That's it. frustrating. Some reasons: 1, probably there were not enoughJapanese who openly opposed the war to get this group more than a handful of potential test subjects,*Japanese culture has always emphasized and continues to emphasize (until now) a certain point) the fact that you're paying attention to your own business and not making a big deal out of it, even if you're completely opposed to something.Thrown to the ground, many Japanese citizens were patriots and the Japanese propaganda machine m a de the point of making themselves se e well at every opportunity during the war (to the point that many Japanese citizens were not even sure that Japan had lost the war until that the Emperor himself had to appear and say "the war situation didnot necessarily develop for the benefit of Japan") and that means that even those who opposed the war did not say much about it. And 2, the well-known Unit-731 actually existed, and in fact performed biological warfare experiments on prisoners of war and enemy civilians (mostly Chinese) during the war. These zombies are later deployed againstMao's forces near the end of the war, a strata gia that makes no sense when recalling that Mao fought a battle with Japan during the war, took a beating, and continued to hide in the Soviet Union During the rest of the fighting, leaving Amman Rich and nationalist China deal with most of the heavy lifting. This would be about the equivalent ofHitler dropping his only atomic bomb on Allied Brazil. Physical Artistic Licen se: This really applies to any zombie work "pattern", but particularly striking in this book, because the author goes to such pains to seem realistic. The zombies apparently don't feed on the meat they eat; They just have the compulsion t o stuff themselves to death. Theirstomachs burst. And they can live for years. Even a severed zombie's head can continue to If your brainer is intact. In real life the universe follows a small rule called Second Law of Thermodynamic, which says that basically can not get something per for If you do not consume fuel, you can not use energy. So, where are the zombies get that theenergy moves? The guide even makes a point of bringing it up and commenting on how baffling is. Small and light calibers, like the .22, tend to lose most of your impulse against the first thing they reach, so a bullet of .22 can not continuously pinball around inside the crown Someone, do not kill or not. The nature of the .22 length rifle also makes theplace round, particularly the bulk munition most commonly found in the shops, extremely trustworthy. There is a reason for anyone knowing of weapons, suggesting them self-defense. The book goes out of its way to lambast air-pattern rifles, supposedly due to its .223 munition to be very small to effectively stop zombies, which can only be killed by adestroying bullet of the container For the head, while at the same time favoring AK's standards due to your reliability and that the bullet larger from 7.62 is what it is required to put the zombies down. This completely ignores that modern air patterns are much more reliable than were when introduced for the first time in the sixties, and that while thebullet of .223 is in a minor, flies incredibly fast and It is much more accurate than 7.62, and is more than enough to deal with fatal damage to the human cone. One of the biggest advantages of .223 is that you can carry much more munition due to your smaller and lighter size, which means in the hands of someone who knows how to deal with aweapon, as effective if it does not more than 7.62. It is especially glaring, since the author emphasizes that two of the most important factors when fighting against zombies with weapons are needed and bringing sufficient ammunition. Author's appeal: of a certain type - the book exists because Brooks himself is terrified of zombies and has been sinceinfancy, and he apparently decided Your fear writing about it. Impressive by analysis: in a recorded attack history (Owl Creek Mountains, 1842) a border beater in the party that The remnants of an attack revealed suspicions that local natives are responsible for targeting Native Americans would have taken the cattle, with a count of animal skeletonsproving that none are missing. Impressive, but impractical: the fact that zombies will only die if their dog The brain is sufficiently damaged does many things less than helpful against them. During World War II, the Japanese tried to use zombies as offensive weapons, unloading them from U.S. submarines on island bases, releasing them into enemyterritory in Asia, and even even throwing them in China by parachute. It looks amazing, no ? Unfortunately, the crews of the submarines were either eaten on the way or destroyed by enemy forces, the ones that were to be released on the battlefield were eating their manipulators before they got there, and the zombies were mistaken for ordinaryparatroopers by Chinese snipers, who were trained to go for the head, as a matter of course. The guide specifically mentions machine guns and hacksaws tricas-yes, impressive, but they are loud (that calls attention to zombies), heavy (what makes you tired, while zombies will not lose any steam), rely on fuel (that other weapons like machetes ortrench knives do not do), and most importantly, do not always destroy the dog Brains. Chainsaws are heavy, lifting them to destroy the dog Brain takes some time, and the main advantage of the machine gun is That it unleashes a storm of fire on enemies, incapacitating them with massive wounds. But since we just need a bullet in the head, Just a waste of a world. Hilarious, in the universe this book is considered this in non-American areas in the sequel, Z. State interventions several times the book almost exclusively written for Americans, and that several things mentioned (easy access to weapons, sports utility vehicles, not to mention certain attitudes and types of weapons) arenot found elsewhere. Beware of life: in "Defense" chapter, which deals with the practices and cons of different forms of shelter, Brooks discusses whether a prison or not a viable option. He mentions that while some prisons are strong enough to hold the undead indefinitely, they are still I need to worry about the inmates. Considering that withinthe walls of a prison are the most dangerous members of our society, would it not be wiser to confront the living dead? Most of the time, the answer is yes. When discussing where to go during the initial outbreak, Brooks notes that the precincts and gun stores are probably the last places to go. Police stations would be flooded by unpreparedcitizens who would freak out (which would attract zombies and most likely result in being trampled to death). While the Gun Stores would either be occupied by a very paranoid storekeeper, or already invaded by madmen looking for firearms to defend themselves and probably shoot themselves the moment they entered. Great heroes Hilariouslysubverted with Harland Lee. Boom, Headshot! The only, only, only way to kill a zombie. , sure, deal appropriately with the damage to the dog Brains. Boring but Practical: The book strongly recommends the use of a bread - de-goat as a hand-to-hand combat weapon on more exclusive weaponry, due to its range, equilibrium, and ability to knockdown any blockages that people may have mounted. Hello. m of this, weapons are only recommended when stealth is not a worry as the noise will attract more zombies. The best type of weapon to use would be a semi-automatic rifle with a suppressor. The book specifically calls autonomic weapons as not being particularly useful: Why fire abullet spray when only Do I need a well-placed shot to kill a zombie? After all, hitting a zombie anywhere else a waste of munitions. The rifles of in screw are also highly recommended, because they are very resistant, can be used as a good hand -to-hand gun, and thanks to the screw action, the person has a great need to enforce every blow, andso has a one possibility of killing a zombie. bikes are a great vehicle for the zombie apocalypse, being silent, versatile, and easy to pray and maintain. also motorcycles. brooks hit: heavy cruise/touring bikes are much more maneuverable and much easier to maintain than any car, have a reasonable performance on dirt roads u damaged urban roads,can carry a few hundred pounds of supplies and a few hundred more if they have a side car and can be pushed to the nearest safe location to be repaired if damaged. an attack on a shipyard is aborted by crane operators who place cargo containers as barriers, then drop more of them into several of the zombies. while the armour capable of preventinga human bite seems to be the best defense against the zombies, the book notes that most of the u-type armor would seal on its sweat (in the case of a shark suit) u would be too heavy to be oada for more than a few hours (plate bandage).) instead, recommends jotas (but comfortable) clothes with small pockets, short hair and running shoes, since theydo not get enough to sing brain in a jar: when the Pole mark appeared, kublai khan had a living zombie head kept in a bottle full of some kind of colorless alcohol. breaks the haughty: don rafael corodza (a noble Spanish hunter of el dorado) ignores the advice of his guides on traveling to an area full of zombies (although most of his men believed inthem,) and very possibly abandoned all his men to save themselves. on his return to spain is dishonored for wasting the resources of the crown and supposed heresy with his zombie tales. burn the undead: discussed, and strongly advised against most of the time. the zombies are not afraid or slowed down by fire, they take a long time to burn,andBurning zombie can cause much more collateral damage to the environment than a normal zombie. That said, Brooks advises that fire can be an effective weapon against zombies in SPECIFIC SCIENCES (e.g. zombies are trapped in a ditch from which they cannot escape easily), and burn infected bodies after the zombie is destroyed anexcellent way to ensure that the virus does not spread. Call back: Many of the registered zombie attacks mentioned in the last half of the book are linked together, since ghouls from previous incidents appear to cause more trouble: Japanese forces intersect with the island Francis Drake called "the Island of the Damned". Canadian filmmaker JacobTailor must fight a horde created by an unfrozen Cossack that was infected in 1583; The remaining zombies from the Knudhansen Party massacre continue to cause outbreaks in Amman. rich along the healthy 19th century, And some pilots shot down in World War II happen on the remains of Fort Louis Philippe. Good chainsaw, broken. The bookspecifically mentions chainsaws as being incredibly impractical as zombie killing tools due to their weight and the noise they make (what are they doing) likely to attract more zombies). The dangers of running out of fuel for the mountain while surrounded by a horde of undead are also They highlighted it as reasons to ignore it as an effective toolfor killing zombies. Cherry Blossoms: Japan tried at one point to militarize zombies; The operation was referred to as "Cherry Blossom", in reference to the role that Cherry Blossoms play in death, according to Shinto beliefs. We advise you to be. Deconstruction: The novel essentially tells the story of a Zombie Apocalypse of real life, and how it wouldend. To begin with, zombies would naturally decompose over time and disappear completely in winter, and extremely hybrid areas, such as near lakes, would be fine due to zombie rot within a few days in the near future, taking an English key to the idea that an apocalypse remains an apocalypse for Taken to suicide: Some men from the FrenchForeign Legion committed suicide during the siege of three years of zombies in their fortress. Enemy mine: ln 1993, 1993, Rival Los Angeles Gangs team up to fight zombies. Interestingly, it was observed as one of the few times that exaggeration was applied to a zombie attack, resulting in zombies that all clean sewith very few human casualties.Enemy to all living things: solanum's virus, which feared by all animals. Each car is A Chick: The book warns you to be careful with filming on the road when abandoned cars are filled with it, because "a stray bullet could ignite hell." Outside of the action movies, it's hard to get a modern car to blow up using bullets. Exotic weapon supremacy:generally avoided - the guide greatly emphasizes the importance of practical and practical weapons to use - although it should be noted that if you had an unlimited check in terms of weapons mines, you definitely wanted to go with a Shaolin Spade. Brooks recommends katana as a good melee weapon against zombies. While many real sword expertsdisagree, a good katana can easily behead a zombie provided the proper two hand cut mà todo ã used. Traditional Tamahagane Katanas are prone to rust, require constant maintenance, and are a bit frágeis, so a katana made of modern alloys can be preferred. Brooks eventually concludes that a fac, preferably of high-quality military matter,would be the best weapon. A World War II trench peak (A.K.A. "That heavy metal knife") is also recommended. Although it is not "exotic", they are definitely old. The humble axe, in small size used in camping trips, can crush a cry, live or undead, with little work. Something of a subversive as crow bars are preferred simply due to their lightweight. Played completely straight with center center rifles, though. can't say enough about how wonderful the AK-47, while casually dispensing the AR15 for one sake completely inaccurate series of reasons, which include: capacity Go fully automatic. Even the M16s Military can no longer do this, much less civilian rifles. And if this is a strikeagainst the M16, it would also be one against the AK, which is sometimes capable of selective fire. Inconsistent imprecision. The examples of the use of Brooks are from the Vietnam War, a good twenty years before the book is written, although they allow Brooks a pause in which he can cast a short filibuster on the evils of the military industrialcomplex. Ammunition for the M16 would be almost impossible to find in America. The country that camouflages as its primary weapon and has had very long and attracted discussions about the proliferation of this rifle in civil hands. The critical failure level of research is a bit surprising. A fate worse than death: the Portuguese incident of the slaveship is speculated to involve a crew member becoming infected, and he spread the disease to the rest of the crew. It was then thought that one of the zombies bit one of the chained slaves. Who became a zombie and bit the next slave and so on. The book mentions what would be like for unhappy people at the end of the lines, observing their disgraceapproaching and closer. Not that dying of thirst in their chains would have been much more kind, if they had not been infected . Fool without fear: while his plan did not work, when Vitre, Louisiana was attacked, a resident ran out Of the zombies with molasses out of hopes that attracted a horde of insects to devour them, and then managed to returnin a safe way. The fire keeps dead: the guide recommends burning dead bodies during a zombie attack to make sure they do not rise, in addition to lowering the health risk posed by decomposing meat. Fire is the only way to safely dispose of a corpse infected by the solanum. All traces of the infection will be eliminated when the fire closes them. Thatbeing said, it also warns that fire for the zombie while still ismovement movement Make a giant, flaming torch that is still able to bite and infect while gaining the enchanting ability to set fire to everything you touch. Foreboding Fleeing Flock: All animal life on earth instinctively fears and runs away from zombies, so an apparent absence of animalsor animal ruÃdo may be your first clue that the undead are around. Government conspiracy: no matter how many evidences you have, the government will ensure that no one believes you. The author points to a particularly impressive cover-up, notably the 1994 incident in the port of San Pedro, which entailed the closure of the shipyardmanagement, the local police department, a private security company and the entire crew of a freighter and its shipping company. No leaks, except the person who took photos (easily discredited due to the above), and all this in one of the busiest ports of the United States. Ascertained with the final entry, where the zombie became a species of localpopular legend, winning spinoff products and everything else. Weapons are useless, Zig-Zagged and Discussed. Because destroying the rebro is one of the only unfailing ways to kill a zombie, an an effective way to shoot them down. Conversely, the head ã a relatively small and mobile target, by is so, ã difficult to systematically landphotographs, and attacks on other parts of the body vary widely in how effectively they can stop (but not kill) a zombie (shotguns have enough power to give him space to breathe, while a pistol would be in no tile, especially in lower calibers). The noise created by weapons also makes it much easier for other zombies to hone in on you, so weaponsare typically best reserved as weapons of emergency. Some firearms are better than others at dealing with zombies. With regard to range weapons, bows and arches are more advantageous, staying in silence, sufficient penetrating power to pierce the skull and reach the brain, benefiting from reusable arrows and screws. Hard Head: The bookemphasizes thatThe skull is one of the most difficult things to fracture, much less break, and that's why most of the unfocused weapons are not exactly the best weapon of choice against the undead. Historical In-Joke: Zombies are speculated to be the reason behind various historical events such as. . the holder between Egypt and Israel, allegedlydirectly related to an outbreak of 1975. .the disappearance of the British colony in Roanoke. .the fact that the ancient Egyptians removed the brain during mummification. Hold the line: Regina Clark of Jarvie, British Columbia did this against a crowd of twenty-one zombies who interrupted the surviving attempt to escape the townspeople andmanaged to kill them all without dying. Hollywood Law: Brooks says that "Obviously, any civilian group will not have access to a real tank or APC". In practice, a civilian can acquire a tank with enough money to spend, as civilian/museum collections do, only that legally all weapons have to be deactivated by breechblock welding. But it still has floorsand armor and can reduce the enemy to a bloody pulp. In addition, since the beginning of the War on Terror, the police departments have received APCs with functional towers. Hollywood Silence: Occasionally referred to as being a suitable substitute for a similar beast or silent weapon. The point would be more viable in relation to the "moving"situation covered in a chapter, where weight would be a key factor. And where the noise difference between a suppressed weapon and an unpressed weapon can really allow you to kill yourself and run without many more zombies being attracted to your location. Honor before reason: Brooks explicitly advises a pragmatic approach to escape fromzombie-infested areas and advises against seeking survivors or absent family members when the outbreak reaches, but accepts that "Sometimes, logic should give way to humanity".They are the real monsters: The author states that Solanum is the worst enemy of mankind. beside humanity itself. Not even. even.you don't take the failed attempts touse zombies as a weapon out Over time, sometimes the sheer stupidity and cruelty of some people has worsened outbreaks of zombies. And see how the colonists treated the locals who were better prepared than them in the fight against the zombies, even after they saved their asses sometimes. Hummer Dinger: Large SUVs are usually treated asImpressive, but impractical due to their consumption
