Step 7Survivorman: Zombie Country
So, you got your ride, your crew, and your weapons. Now what? No need to fear, the hardest part is yet to come. Typically in the movies, the only way to kill a zombie is to destroy the brain. Not so hard. Smash, chop, or shoot and you have eliminated one of the possible hundreds of thousands of zombies in your area. Now all thats left to do is get some food. Looting will be one of the most fun activities during the Z-day festivities.
You may ask, "Where to loot?" Shadymilkman knows all*. Grocery stores present a copious amount of food of course, however they could possibly be infested. You need to scope out a place before you bust in. Gas stations/convenience stores can contain some comestibles that will probably not expire for a year or so. One idea is to loot cigarettes, even if you don't smoke because you may run into other bands of survivors and you may need them for trading or gifts of friendship.
Smashing windows may seem like the best idea, but that is just one more way for the hungry hordes to come in if they decide your brain looks ready for the picking. Break in like you would if you did it during normal times, smash a lock or something.
Remember, quiet and quick, the longer you are in an area, the longer they have to do the undead shuffle towards you, and the more likely you are to be eaten. It is believed that zombies communicate "verbally" with grunts and have limited vision but normal hearing. It is also believed that they can sense people nearby, but the "Shawn of the Dead" zombie imitation scene depicts otherwise.

Get to the stores before other bands of people fortify them! It's a bad idea to fortify a store anyway, but people panic and hole themselves up anywhere. Also, zombies have limited vocal capabilities, but essentially normal hearing and smelling. So don't worry, if you're in a building with infected, they won't be able to smell you out like a wolf.
