It is stated at one point by some CIA guy that North Korea was able to avoid the zombie outbreak by systematically removing the teeth of all of its residence in less than 24 hours. The reasoning being that if nobody had teeth then the virus couldn’t spread because nobody could bite anyone. He states that it was “the greatest feat of social engineering ever achieved”. Like I get this is a fictitious plot but they can’t even avoid making up the most utterly deranged bullshit lmao.
I always liked the latter portion of the zombie survival guide where it gave a historical recap of past outbreaks stretching back to ancient egypt. Just fun little worldbuilding exercises that don't overstay their welcome
Ahh yeah those were really good, may have to reread them if I can find my copy.
I remember a cool one where the IJA tried to weaponise zombies by parachuting them into China but they were all taken out super quickly by Communist sharpshooters that were trained to aim for the head :mao-aggro-shining:
I love in the illustrated version of it where it goes over the Roman tactics for fighting zombies
I read that book a few months ago, but all I remember is that it keeps using the same writing "trick" every time. It describes some Hollywood scene of a hero fighting zombies in an unrealistic way, then says "I bet you'd love to do that, you little piggy. You'd love to be blorbo from your zombie movies. Well guess what, dipshit? You'll die if you do that." Like yeah, it's right, but the author writes that same kind of scenario at least once every chapter
