During the course of an outbreak, you may find it necessary to flee the
area. Your fortress may be overun. You may run out of supplies. You
may become critically injured or ill, in need of professional medical
attention. Fire, chemicals, or even radiation may be rapidly approaching.
Crossing an infested area is generally the most dangerous thing
you can do. You will never be safe, never be secure. Always exposed,
in hostile territory, you will know what it means to be prey. Too often, people who have been holed up in fortfied
dwellings are seduced by the distractions of their initial freedom.
Most of these people never make it to safety. Do not become
one of these unnecessary statistics. Your mission is to escape nothing
more, nothing less. Do not look for abandoned valuables.
Do not hunt the occasional zombie. Do not investigate any strange
noises or lights in the distance. Just get out. Every side trip, every
pause in the journey, increases the odds of being found and
devoured. If by some chance you come across humans that need
assistance, by all means stop to help. (Sometimes logic must give
way to humanity.) Otherwise, keep going!
