Above the World, and Around -Zachary Loren Ira Nichols

The beginning of this very longer chapter, starts out by talking about castles.  Castles had become a safe stronghold more a decent amount of people. In the next part of the chapter we figure out that some people had believed that zombies actually retained intelligence and emotion.  In Japan, the main character for this chapter, was a computer geek.  He and his friends learned researched a large amount about the zombies.  However, assuming his parents had died, he had to resort to scaling his apartment building to get to safety.  Another guy in Japan was blind.  He thought he was a burden to everyone else so he left for the wilderness and survived there.  Cuba is claimed to be one of the few nations to gain from this apocalypse.  Cuba had refugees from america ironically.  Cuba used these refugees to build their economic system.  In China many people secretly boarded a military ship to join their family.  The ship located a place where they could be their own continent away from everyone.  From Australia we read about an astronaut that witnessed everything on earth from being in the international space station.  Then in Chile we find out that America plans to be on the offensive until the zombies were gone.
