Solutions in dealing with zombie apocalypse is always either offensive or defensive.

As seen in zombie movies, defending ourselves from the inside of a fortress-like building most likely ended up with total failure by the zombies finally able to penetrate.

Striking back against hordes of zombies is not a good idea as well. Humans always ended up either being consumed ,or infected and turned to one of the zombies.

The reason of the failure is because of another essential function which is often forgotten to be included in a safe house: camouflage.

It is said that zombies are attracted to humans because of their flesh and brains. What are the main reason they're attracted to us besides our existence? It's the smell that we produce.

Why is something smell? It happens when volatile particles dissolved in the air reach the olfactory system.

Camouflage is achieved by not letting any odor -moreover those human-related ones- to penetrate to the outside of the safe house to prevent them from being sensed by the zombies.

One of the effective ways to wash away the smell from the air is by using the shower of water. Volatile particle dissolved in the air will be washed away from the air, thus making the air clear.

With no smell being detected, no zombies would be gathering around the safe house, thus making the safe house less penetrable.

How it works?
Just like every safe house, defense and offense system is a must. Camouflage is added outwards the defense system in the form of water curtain by constantly pumping the water on where the safe house is floating.

Sustainability is another critical aspect that requires special attention. With no basic needs being produced in large scale, survivors depend on no one but themselves in order to fulfill their basic needs.
