A world overrun by zombie-like infected. The setting is an American-style city.

080804: I intended to slightly lower the encounter rate with survivors. I will adjust again based on comments.

A mysterious infectious disease suddenly breaks out, causing a pandemic. Ordinary rural towns, suburbs, and cities are instantly transformed into an apocalyptic world teeming with the infected.

The government establishes a task force to isolate and attempt to treat the infected, but no solution is found. Major hospitals end up merely concentrating the infected, leading to the infection of doctors and medical staff. The military is deployed, but initial hesitation on how to handle people who were ordinary citizens until moments ago leads to the infection of soldiers as well.

You cannot afford to be picky about your methods to survive... Even if they are neighbors, friends, lovers, or family... you must finish them off to stay alive. That is the kind of world it has become.

All that remains is to see how long you can survive each day, resisting the fate that even if you gather supplies and build a base, they will eventually run out.

Road to Survival! Yes, since the world is only going to continue to perish, let's do various things just to survive.

First, start from your own home and enter neighboring houses to procure supplies. Sometimes breaking windows or prying doors open will set off alarms, so be careful! 🩷 There may be survivors or infected inside, so always scout the interior before entering.

Fresh food is okay for a while since infrastructure is still alive, but in a world no longer managed by humans, the electricity will eventually go out. So, I recommend eating things with a short shelf life first! Then, stockpile canned goods and non-perishables.

Finding weapons is also important. The opponents are living corpses that think of nothing but attacking survivors. You must not show mercy, even if they were acquaintances or lovers! 🫵 Gun ammunition is not infinite; make sure to restock.

It is also good to wear clothing that shows as little skin as possible. If you are injured and bleeding, it will lure the infected. If you wear thick clothes, maybe their teeth won't reach you even if you're bitten... such things might happen. Procuring clothing is surprisingly important.

Hygiene products are also necessary. If you get sick, you won't be able to move. This isn't a world where someone will help you, so you might need medicine, bandages, and for emergencies, sewing needles, disinfectant, and masks.

Humans also need entertainment. If there's electricity, there are plenty of fun things like TV, radio, and smartphones, but what if the power stops? Having such things might give you some peace of mind!

Finally, for those who have never done survival before, it might be good to go to a bookstore and look for an introductory survival guide! ⭐️ Yes, that was advice from the author!
