99+ Ways To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse

Survival of the Fittest

Charles Darwin discovered his theory of evolution long ago through studying the natural order of things, or, more commonly known, the survival of the fittest. This is where the strongest people will survive and the weaker ones will die. Now, this would typically be true, but I doubt he knew anything about zombies at the time.

If he did, he'd have told you that being the strongest is not always the best. Maybe in smashing heads on a football field over an inflated pigskin, but not in an apocalypse.

First, there's your zombies. Deadly no matter what and danger priority #2 in a world ruled by chaos. There can be different kinds of zombies depending on how they mutate or how they're infected. Since there's no real world zombies to take a look at, we don't really know what to go off of.

Do they run or only walk?
Are they actually the risen dead, or are their minds so warped they turn into animalistic beasts?
Do they only eat brains, or is their hunger satiated by anything flesh related?
Do they hunt humans, or any source of food?
What senses work with them and how good are they? (Sight/hearing/smell/etc.)

See what I mean? There are many possibilities. One thing we do know, however, is that there is one thing about the apocalypse we've already studied. What might that be? Well, why priority #1, of course.

If you think that zombies are going to be your biggest issue, you're sorely mistaken. I, personally, would rather be given a swifter death to a horde of the undead (or whatever they turn out to be) then tortured and used by another corrupt human.

Everyone is going to think like Darwin: I'm stronger, so I should survive.

It is people like that which will wind up most likely snapping and killing tons of other survivors because they saw them as weak, be it physically, mentally, or whatever they like to rant on about.

In a dystopian world, people will be the most dangerous things you could stumble across. They're fast, wield weapons, and worst of all, are free thinkers.

They will decieve you; they will use you; and they will kill you.

To survive, you must throw all concepts of fully trusting someone out the window. Your best pal? That's not them anymore. The apocalypse changes people whether they show it or not. Always expect someone to backstab you and you'll be more likely to be ready when that time comes.

This is the Survival of the fastest, strongest, smartest, healthiest and most prepared.

What are you? A planner, smart, strong, fast, or perhaps none of the above?
