The beginning of the chapter starts out by introducing a character named Paul Redeker. Paul Redeker was a figure despised in South Africa for having previously created a plan to save the white minority in the event of a revolt by the black majority against the apartheid system. However, because of his ability to separate logic and reason from emotion, he was able to create an efficient survival plan that not only helped South Africa survive the zombie apocalypse, but also served as a blueprint for other countries to survive as well. During this period, there were massive evacuations being undertaken and many refugees continued crossing over borders and into “safe” havens. However this migration of people posed many problems. In the capital of Ukraine, it became increasingly difficult to separate the uninfected from the infected. As a result, high command resorted to their last resort by having a fighter jet use chemical weapons on the refugees being evacuated in order to identify the infected. Another example was the migration of many Americans into Canada, hoping that the winter would make zombies immobile. However, many people died from hunger or the cold because no one planned beyond a stay of a few months. In my opinion, the most extreme example took place in India. A pass that refugees were passing over was blown up to stop the millions of zombies following the refugees from getting through. What stood out to me the most was that because the detonators did not go off as planned, the general in charge was so devoted to his mission that he set them off manually and gave his own life.
