Fear The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: What to do next

3) Avoid Places That You Know Will Go Bad

Here I go again, dogpiling on poor Chris…

Frankly, once Chris noticed the cop at the scene of the shooting getting his bite treated, he should have left, called his parents, and gotten the hell out of there. Between the cop being bitten, which he seemed to notice as being weird, the growing crowd, and the growing volatility of that crowd, he should have been able to see that that situation was going to go bad, and gotten out of there before it did. It was only by luck that his dad, Travis, managed to convince Daniel Salazar to let Chris, Travis, and Chris’s mother, Liza, into his shop as the protest devolved into a riot, and the one or two infecteds they were seeing at the protest began to swell in numbers.

This is where the whole “Realize the situation you’re getting into” stuff I mentioned in the last entry really comes into play, because if you realize how dangerous a situation or place could potentially be before that situation occurs, or before you get to that place, you can avoid the danger that they could pose.

For example: With how crowded places like highways and bridges can get normally, would you go to either in a zombie apocalypse? No! You’d realize “Holy shit, if the traffic gets jammed up, which is likely if there’s zombies…I’d be SCREWED!” and avoid them as best as you possibly could!

That is what you’re supposed to do in a zombie apocalypse: When you know something can be dangerous, and you have the means to avoid it, you do.

There’s no point walking into dangerous situations that you don’t have to.
