AUSTIN, TX – A group of brave citizens hijacked a roadside sign to warn of a possible zombie outbreak!

Photos and video have emerged of a construction sign outside of Austin, Texas that has been hacked by good patriots. It appears the US government is attempting to lock down and contain a zombie outbreak nearby, but refuses to warn local residents.

The sign displays:

CAUTION! ZOMBIES! AHEAD!!!

RUN FOR COLD CLIMATES

THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!!!

Weekly World News spoke with Matt Rivers, a renowned zombie expert and self-proclaimed “undead chaser”, who travels to rumored outbreaks. “This is a common response from our military. In order to contain chaos in the surrounding community, they leave the residents completely in the dark. Yet this often leads to more devastating results when the outbreak overflows.”

“I commend these brave men or women who defied our government’s orders! We need knowledge to defeat the undead.”

When reached for comment, a Center for Disease Control spokesman simply stated, “We do not respond to rumors.”
