Defense With the BoomStick

The end of the world is something that may or may not happen, but if it does its good to be prepared. Defense with the BoomStick by Brandon Pilley (Omnicomic's resident zombie expert) will bring you a short tip to survive should the end of the world include zombies. And since we're dealing with zombies, please be aware that some tips may depict some rather gory scenarios. But last I checked zombies aren't looking to have a delightful cup of tea with you. Brandon here, and I'm back on the air, which means that I made it back alive in one piece from my mission abroad. Sure there were quite a number of close calls and many a fire fight that were good and bad, but there's going to be fewer zombies bothering what people are left. I can't say what drove me to leave my compound, only that it is something I had to take care of and pivotal to my survival. So how did you guys enjoy the recording last week? Hopefully it kept you somewhat entertained and at least you had something to fill the void for a bit of time. Since I am bone tired from journeying, shooting, and trekking a grand distance I am going to get to the point of the matter for this week's tip. I want to talk about what must be done in order to get in get supplies and get out silently if you are on the move and approach a small rural town. Hopefully you are in a group of survivors and not on your own (as being on your own makes the task more difficult to do, but not entirely impossible). With a group you can have spotters with long range rifles for support if needed for a quick retreat; otherwise the best weapons to use are all silent ones. Melee weapons, crossbows, pistols with silencers and anything that will allow you the quiet kill if one is necessary are preferred. If possible, scout out the types of buildings on the outskirts of the town as they might be the ones you have the best chance of finding the supplies you need. When coming upon a building that has supplies you need to always make sure to be quiet. On entering, try and sweep the entire building before doing anything else and make sure to keep absolute silence so as to be able to hear any zombies walking around. Once the building is clear, move quick get what keeps well like canned foods and any gear that you might need on the road. Once packed full (and before exiting the building) if possible to scan the outside of the door you are leaving through, so that you don't walk out right into a waiting horde of zombies wanting you for dinner. This is where having your spotters on the outside of town and radios come in handy so they can cover your retreat and also give you a look out as to any zombie movement around your area. If on you way out of town you do encounter a zombie make sure to kill it quickly and quietly so as to not alert any more to your presence (it's tough enough running and fighting with a pack loaded down of goods without being surrounded as well). Once you make it back to your support group it is best to get the hell out of the area without being spotted, as a zombie will follow your general direction until it is dead, it finds you or finds something else that interests it. That's that for the tip of the week. Hope it helps more of you survive so perhaps we can meet up someday when all this is over. Until next week keep on living, killing those bastard zombies and keeping hope alive. This is Brandon signing off...
