The Posted coordinates will take you to Zombie Monitoring Point-South, and the Parking coordinates are for the better access point, although there are others. From here, you can see where the following events took place. Please help us decipher the Zombie's message, find whatever they've planted, and stop their plans for the apocalypse!
The Zombie Surveillance Team of the Flint Hills Zombie Patrol was recently on night watch at ZMP-South, monitoring for any signs of the undead. All was quiet when we suddenly spotted what looked to be a single Zombie walking along the edge of the Kansas River! We knew that Zombies don't usually travel alone...there's ALWAYS more than one!...so we simply kept watch as he lurched his way through the sand. As he got closer, we could tell he was carrying something that looked like a large rock. Maybe it was a skull that he was carrying around for a snack; we couldn't tell in the dark from our vantage point high above the river. Then he stopped just east of ZMP-South, and stood there. After a couple of minutes, we spotted another Zombie coming from the opposite direction towards the first one. We KNEW it!! There's ALWAYS more than one! When they finally met, they strangely started throwing the rock, or whatever it was. They threw it several times, kind of "at" each other, but then again kind of at random. We then heard a distinct "clunk" sound and the Zombies stopped their strange behavior. We couldn't see what happened to the rock, and the Zombies just stood there again for a few moments. Then the second zombie handed a bunch of small pieces of paper to the first, and they both turned and went back to wherever they came from. How very strange, this all seemed to be a planned meeting! Are Zombies starting to think ahead?! As we watched them depart, we saw the first Zombie stumble in the loose sand as he lurched his way along, and drop some of the papers. When they were both out of sight, we ran down to retrieve some of the papers to include in our nightly report. Once we collected several of them, we briefly tried to find whatever they were throwing at each other to see if it had any clues. We couldn't find anything out of place in the dark, and since we didn't want to spend too much time in a hot zone, we quickly returned to our post high upon the bridge. On each piece of paper was this very odd message; which we believe to be a Zombie code:
We took the notes back to our nightly debriefing, and also told the staff at HQ about the Zombies' strange behavior. While no one could decipher the message, because of other recent activity in the area, we're all sure the Zombies may have planted a viral contagion to contaminate Manhattan, and this note is an important clue. Can you help decipher the message and stop the Zombies evil plans? Please help save Manhattan, we're all counting on you!
Congratulations to Molar One for braving the zombies and finding their plans! Manhattan is saved!!
