It's the Z-end: Welcome to the Zombie Apocalypse CHAPTER 15
March 20, 2012 12:30 PM
The situation has not improved. The safe points are being organized in the center of all major cities. In the news, at any time of day, they insist that the entire population should concentrate on them for their own safety. I'm not going. I'm not going. I've already seen how these happy safe spots end.... Many in Europe ended up in total disaster, I can't imagine how the ones here ended up.
The president is on television again, this time in a military uniform and surrounded by generals reporting the situation.
The television channels only broadcast recorded programmes and only a few news programmes every half hour. They say it's to ensure the safety of the workers. Apparently, the area where the cedena is located is one of the least secure. There are criminal gangs and looters, they explain.
The cell phones are dead. The three operators (Movistar, Digitel and Movilnet) have suspended the service. Now it will be impossible for me to locate my sister or Dad.
Now I'm listening to the radio, the military is evacuating a lot of people to the safe spot. Sporadic shooting throughout the day has become more constant. I guess the situation has started to crumble.

Luckily I still have the internet, I have spent all day listening to law enforcement radio with the phone application. What I've heard is nothing but routine stuff, especially reports of checkpoint status on the roads, some patrols requesting reinforcements and little else. However, from time to time, a "hot spot" arises and then the situation gets completely out of control. I am struck by the fact that although the media are constantly alerting me to the risks of disturbances, they are only a tiny fraction of the incidents I hear on the radio. Maybe it's because I live east of town.
However, with regard to "hot spots" there are more and more of them. At first, a couple of days ago, there were hardly any references to them, but now they seem to increase by hours. I am referring to the incidents involving, as the militants on the radio call them, the rabid ones'.
Only 48 hours ago there were apparently no cases in Caracas. What started out as a drip, a "rabid" incident every 12 hours or so, is quickly becoming a constant of emergency flames, desperate warnings from one unit to another, and much, much, much movement of soldiers, who seem unable to control the situation.
I don't know what you mean when you talk about "the rabid ones"? Are they the ones infected with the virus? It's already known that the infected ones behave extremely aggressively, but then why are they called the rabid ones and why are they discharged? What the fuck is all this?

A few hours ago, the military here in Caracas received an order to retreat into the neighborhoods and rural areas of the city, as they must be evacuated. After a few minutes of hearing this on the military frequency, on channel 8, the crazy TV station, a captain of the National Guard in combat uniform has appeared reading a communiqué from the General in command of the capital district, ordering this evacuation. I think we're under siege.

About two hours ago I heard a call to a patrol car over the phone. You are informed of an incident on a street and asked to go and investigate. The patrol (I believe they were National Police, by the way they talk) responded that they were arriving. I haven't heard from that patrol since. However, if I heard another call, this time to FAES troops, to come urgently to the same address only a quarter of an hour later. The ugly thing about all this is that that direction is only a mile away from the michaise. And I could swear I've hated a lot of gunshots.
