This is a certainly a surprise...

Wow. This is not what I was expecting.

When Dirk finally got the antenna up, we were hoping to use short wave radio in order to broadcast a message of our survival. Instead we found Wifi.

Wifi.

Off all the things that survived the apocalypse I did not expect Wifi to be one of them...

Anyway, not much seems to have been added to the internet since the last time society was still kind of a thing, but after quite a bit of searching I found you guys! Or at least I am inclined to believe that these posts are actually from after the outbreak.

Hi by the way. My name is Lianne and I am from Maastricht in the Netherlands. For those who were unaware: mainland Europe is a mess.

The Netherlands and the areas of Belgium and Germany close to us were super densely populated and the zombie virus (plague?) basically swept the area in 24 hours. I was at work at the time (as a tourist guide in the local caves) and my boss basically ushered everyone into the tunnels to the old bunkers. They proved to be a huge blessing. It’s kind of fitting I guess that these centuries old tunnels (which protected people from world war 2 bombings and were used to build nuclear fallout shelters) are now used for protection again. Turns out zombies cannot crawl and skretch through 3 inch steel doors and the difference entrance areas are perfect for zombie traps.

We are with about 40 people in here right now and while it wasn’t our intention we have become somewhat of a marauding gang. We go on a lot of scavenger missions. Because we went underground pretty much immediately we never got the first government messages. Turns out the closet miltary safe zone is about 3 hours from here, but because of all the towns and cities we’d have to travel through to get there we never even tried. 3 hours might not seem very far in American eyes, but here it’s literally the far other end of the country ;).

I think we made the right decision though, we haven’t heard anything from the safe zone in quite a while. And although it was difficult in the beginning i guess there are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and surviving the zombie apocalypse is one of them, to paraphrase one of my favorite authors.

Anyway, I have to go. I will try to keep in touch with you guys as much as possible. If anyone in the area reads this please leave a message, we are hungry for outside news!!
