| Officials have reported that at least five humans were being infected with the zombie virus each hour on Tuesday. |
Five zombies an hour. That's the rate at which the undead legions were growing at Utah State University as of Tuesday afternoon after the zombie virus began spreading on campus earlier in the morning.
In response to the outbreak students have started initiating different survival strategies.
“People are beginning to move in groups,” said Jake Bednar, a member of an anti-undead paramilitary group known as The Resistance. “Some groups have started carrying boxes filled with darts to protect themselves.”
In addition to fighting zombies with Nerf darts, which are toxic to the undead, a few people like Hannah Stallard are battling their attackers with sock bombs, which are also poisonous to zombies.

Stallard said, though, that avoidance and running are the best ways to stay alive. She specifically is avoiding the Taggart Student Center and is traveling alone to avoid drawing attention to herself.
“I don’t feel that threatened yet," Stallard said. "I’ve only seen two zombies in the safe zones and haven’t seen any walking to class.”
Stallard acknowledged, however, that as the week continues and more people are infected the threat will grow.
