When the dead get up, the guns last for weeks. The water lasts three days. The System arrived the night after the dead did. It did not make anyone a hero. It read what people already were, off the licenses in their wallets, and reported the truth in flat capitals.

Most of them were dead inside a month, and not one of the people drinking his water was. Because his readout tells him what nothing else in the collapse will: the actual state of things.
