5 Step Guide to Survive 2.8 Hours Later

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ARTICLE THAT MUST BE READ IN ORDER TO SURVIVE THE EVENTUAL ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: CODE NAME 2.8 HOURS LATER.*

STEP ONE: WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING

2.8 Hours Later - Zombie 1

This should be a no brainer. The last thing you would want to wear whilst being chased by a horde of zombies is something restrictive. So maybe try and leave the house without those skinny jeans on, I’m talking to you, Hipsters. Another thing to consider here is that Zombie gore probably stains, so maybe wear clothes you don’t mind getting ruined. It’s the end of days anyway, so there is no time for vanity!

STEP TWO: BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS

2.8 Hours Later - Chase 1

You will be given a map, directing you where to go, so be aware that zombies could be hiding behind every corner. Maybe limit the amount of chatter between your friends, you can always catch up later, like when the undead aren’t trying to eat your brains. It’s all fun and games hanging with your friends, until someone gets bitten.

STEP THREE: BE READY TO RUN

2.8 Hours Later - Chase 2

If a zombie spots you, they will chase you. Be ready to run for your life. This may involve running faster than a friend and letting them become sacrificed for the good of the group. Better them than you, right?

Maybe limit the amount of things you carry. Also hold tight to that smartphone of yours whilst running. The last thing you want is to drop it and later find it with  loads of zombie selfies on it.

STEP FOUR: AVOID PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE UNDEAD

2.8 Hours Later - Zombie 2

Under no circumstances try to wrestle the zombies away. If a friend has been captured and subsequently bitten, they are a goner. They may be able to escape but if they have been marked by the undead, they will end up in quarantine anyway. It’s best just to let them go. You’ll see them soon anyway.

STEP FIVE: PARTY TIME

2.8 Hours Later - Zombie Disco

Whether you are a survivor or have been transformed into a zombie, you’ll end up in the same place.

The zombie disco!

Let bygones be bygones as you are reunited with your now undead friends. Have a beer or three, you might as well, it’s the party at the end of the world!

*(This in no way is an important survival document, as none of it is real. Unless….coincidentally, the night you book your tickets  for 2.8 Hours Later, there is a zombie apocalypse! There is an extremely slim chance of this happening ofcourse….or is there?)
