Fear The Walking Dead, Survival Rule: Stranger Danger
By Liam O'Leary
Fear the Walking Dead season 7
Some people want what you have.
In the Fear TWD season finale, Madison saved Morgan from the parents posse. While I don’t doubt that she did intend to save Morgan, what it turned out she really wanted was to abduct Mo, which she did.
This is why you should be careful when meeting new people in a zombie apocalypse. You are going to have things in a zombie apocalypse — Supplies, food, weapons, a vehicle, a base, women, and children — and, just as is the case now, there is always going to be someone who wants what you have, it’s just that, once the apocalypse hits, they can go to whatever lengths they want to get it.
In fact, that kind of jealousy is precisely why strangers you meet in the zombie apocalypse would do the sort of things I’ve described before. Why might people be hostile immediately? Because they see you have something they want. Why might people pretend to be friendly to you? Either to get you to reveal that you have something they want, to get you to reveal where your precious things are, or to lull you into a false sense of security so they can try to take what you have.
When meeting new people, if at all possible, do not reveal where your base is, where you plan to search for things, what weapons you have or where they might be, what food you might have and where it’s stored, or where your the rest of your group is, so that, if they’re more interested in taking things than killing people, they may find you not worth their time, or at the very least, they can’t go around and then take whatever it is you have.
