Apocalyptic How-Tos

The 'Guide to Zombie Survival' Helps You Endure Flesh-Eaters

Should the zombie apocalypse rise due to a scientist testing out a new drug or some 15-year-old raising the dead with some enchantment, make sure you get a good look at the Guide to Zombie Survival.

The folks at HCC Medical Insurance Services are gracing the public with the Guide to Zombie Survival just in case flesh-eaters do come after us. From the looks of it, they've been fairly thorough in going through the undead archetypes that appear in most movies. The chart displays the zombies you'll likely encounter, the essentials of a survival kit and an infection chart displaying information on how fast it'll take for one to change depending on where the bite is. The only thing missing here is the best weapons to use. So just remember: use what you can, aim for the head and double tap.
