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

6) Be Ready To Defend Yourself

Once you’ve reached the point where you genuinely believe there are zombies, you’re going to have to accept that sooner or later, zombies are either going to corner you, surround you, or simply get too close for comfort, and you’re going to have to fight them off to survive.

Now, whether fighting off a zombie means using a rock, a knife, a gun, or just your hands and feet, you’re going to have to learn how to do it, because, once you’re fighting something that can kill you with just one bite, you don’t have a lot of room for error, and can’t afford accidentally punching a zombie in the teeth and, effectively, getting bitten.

You need to be ready to fight for your survival, this means blocking out a lot of those instincts that cause us to hold back, or the squeamishness we might get about a lot of the gore fighting a rotting corpse will inevitably expose you to. You’ll also need to learn techniques that can debilitate zombies, and stop them from attacking you, even if you don’t have the means of disposing of them, which is something else you will need to know how to do; Punching zombies in the stomach, for example, is not going to get you any closer to getting rid of them, I’m afraid.

Lastly, once more and more people become aware that there’s zombies roaming around, it’s going to become more and more necessary to know how to fight them, too, as many people, be it out of panic, survival, or sheer malice, will become increasingly hostile, and, if you don’t want to be stepped all over, you’ll need to be able to stop people from doing it.

If you can’t fight for your life in a zombie apocalypse, you soon won’t have one to fight for.
