GENERAL RULES 1. Never assume someone is harmless because it looks human. 2. Avoid unnecessary noise. Sound can attract unwanted attention, especially from larger infected. 3. Never approach unfamiliar vegetation, regardless of how ordinary it appears. 4. Avoid abandoned buildings unless absolutely necessary. Always inspect ceilings, corners, stairwells, and other hiding places before entering. 5. Never investigate unexplained noises or disappearances alone. 6. Avoid enclosed spaces with visible signs of contamination, unusual growth, or airborne particles. 7. Never touch an infected, even if it appears passive or non-aggressive. 8. Do not assume an infected has lost interest simply because it has stopped pursuing you. 9. Conserve food, water, medicine, ammunition, and other essential supplies. 10. Always have an escape route. Never enter an unfamiliar location without knowing how to leave.
