Initial Reaction and Finding Others

First, we set the scene by starting from where you realise the apocalypse for the first time. How to react? No matter where you are, you can only stay quiet now to get yourself through. You may be with other people, so once you have successfully hidden, quietly tell them:

安静！(Ānjìng!)
– Quiet!

有人吗？(Yǒu rén ma?)
– Is anyone there?

我能加入你们吗？(Wǒ néng jiārù nǐmen ma?)
– Can I join you?

我不是僵尸。(Wǒ bù shì jiāngshī.)
– I am not a zombie.

你们有没有武器？(Nǐ yǒu méiyǒu wǔqì?)
– Do you have any weapons?

我需要帮助! (Wǒ xūyào bāngzhù)
– I need help!

Seeking Shelter and Safety

Seeking Shelter and Safety

Now, it makes no sense to follow the stereotype of immediately wandering from place to place to find food and hunt zombies on your way… You do not have time for this at all at the beginning of the outbreak, it is such a chaotic state. Not many people have been infected yet, you must try and get to a place where you can find protection. Maybe there even is a chance for you to get out of that region. You are now in possession of weapons, and must use them in the worst case. It is best if you immediately ask the others if they know any shelter to go to, such as a police station.

怎么去最近的避难所？(Zěnme qù zuìjìn de bìnàn suǒ?)
– How do I get to the nearest shelter?

这个地方安全吗？(Zhège dìfāng ānquán ma?)
– Is this place safe?

这里有僵尸。(Zhèlǐ yǒu jiāngshī.)
– There are zombies here.

我迷路了。(Wǒ mílù le.)
– I’m lost.

救命！(Jiùmìng!)
– Help!

because at that point all hope is lost either way, unless some other people do come to your aid. But when you are in a group and are being attacked, it makes no sense to scream, for this way you will only lure more zombies your way than the ones you are already dealing with… that would be counterproductive.

有医生吗？(Yǒu yīshēng ma?)
– Is there a doctor?

小心！(Xiǎoxīn!)
– Be careful!

我们该怎么办？(Wǒmen gāi zěnme bàn?)
– What should we do?

怎么防止被僵尸咬？(Zěnme fángzhǐ bèi jiāngshī yǎo?)
