II: The Problem

(Photo from inner Pansol Laguna)

It was hot that day Von zigzagged the alley that was full of potruded sticks that make an effective trap for the undead. Since their movements are mediocre they eventually gets caught along the traps. This time its just quiet, no signs of the zeds.

After 5 minutes he reached a friend's home. Placing his bags down, he began laying down the materials he gathered. Its going to be a long ride home for this shelter's mere temporary. There's a lot of people here, a lot with guns which make it safer.

Tin was his contact here, she basically takes care of her mother and nephew. Like Von she helps maintain the relay network by working on contact centers.

"I managed to find myself some useful materials, parts I found on abandoned places..." Von stopped what he is doing, turned around and looked at Tin.

"What​ do you think she's doing now?"
He continued.
"Do you th..."
Tin interrupted him
"Its been months, I'm listening to your aimless worrying to a person who-knows what happened"

"Ahahaha, you can't keep me from worrying"
He replied and began packing up. Its been a busy day for him he intended to stay for a few days. He's been pushing himself too much that he's body is giving up.

"You're not the strongest person out there, you should know that"

"I know, thats why I need to do better"
Pulling himself up, and left.

The world is a big place. So many chances of widespread panic to happen. For every 1 living human, 10 zeds rise from the dead. In a world who's been a fan of Resident Evil, Walking dead, Land of The Dead, Dead Rising and so much more, how did this happen? Maybe for the same reason... No one knows.

The government went down first, how? They were not prepared. Funny thing is, they are prepared to kill actual living people but not the zeds, out of fear? Maybe. They had guns but they end up bunkering themselves down in government facilities, guns and ammunition that's suppose to take care of hordes were useless since they are overwhelmed. They died first, along with the civilians who took refuge with them.

Self preservation also became a factor. When you get bitten, you turn (just like the movies) the time depends on the person's health. But when someone gets bitten a few of them decided to join groups and keep it within themselves. They turn, soon enough the whole group will follow.

The only effective way is to keep the numbers low, strip searching and the will to live. That is easier said than done.
