You have 1 hour to prep for a zombie invasion. What do you do?

The scenario..

1) The zombies are like the infected from 28 days later, they move fast not slow. They can be killed in any typical way, no only shooting in the head kind of thing.

2) You can\'t prevent the infection from significantly spreading with your actions, so no "saving the world"

3) The infection starts in the city you\'re in, or the closest city to you, it\'s assumed that the infection would eventually become global.

4) Your situation is identical to your current real life situation, so you have as much money/savings/belongings as you do right now.

5) For whatever reason your one of the very few who knows whats about to happen and  you cannot significantly convince anyone that a zombie infection is imminent.

6) Be realistic, you cannot samurai your way though 1000\'s of infected unless you give good reasons as to why you\'d survive. No "because i\'m awesome"





As for myself, I have very little money and own no weapons aside from a bat, no firearms. I would either try to find a military base and try to get myself arrested and taken inside. Or drive north...north north north. Attempting to get to a colder and less populated climate. Although realistically I guess the roads would end up jammed once the public realizes what is happening. Wherever my destination would be, my first priority would be to find a firearm and canned foods.

What will YOU do when the zombie apocalypse comes?

Do you suffer from some form of mild retardation?

Do you suffer from some form of mild retardation?

Hey, fuck you asshole.

Do you suffer from some form of mild retardation?

Yes

A friend of mine and I have actually had this conversation.


We get bored at work.


My job is to head to the grocery store and get as much food as possible. Then head to a hardware store or sporting goods store for weapons.

His job is to stop somewhere and get all the cigarettes and booze he possible can, then head somewhere he can get toiletries (deodorant, paper towels and whatnot).


You get the idea

Then we meet up at my place.


My apartment is on a second floor, with a porch that has stairs that lead down to the parking lot. were going to knock down those stairs. Well still be able to go outside onto the porch without the zombies being able to get up to us... Its at lerast a good 20 feet.

The front door of my apartment is in a hallway with a big wooden door that we could easily board up and make it impossible to get through.

Every window at my apartment is either on the side where the porch is (where we knocked down the stairs) or on the side of the building where there is no way up to it.


Your all welcome to high-tail it to my place when the shit goes down.


We\'ll be fine.


Like I said... we were bored at work and we had both just finished reading world war z.

Yeah I really need to get that book once and for all. Sounds right up my alley.

I told my plan to another friend who said driving north was a bad idea. Said to read the book to find out why.

Yup. He\'s right.


Read the book. You\'ll love it I promise.

I\'d just go to the nearest police station and take my chances there. If you\'re arrested then you have no defence for a potential prisoner infectee. Better off just hanging around with a bunch of food for yourself. If you can see cops getting infected then you can just take their gun and shoot them in the face anyway.

Once fortified nothing is getting in. Although the zombies would be attracted to the loud noises there\'s pretty much unlimited ammo in the station and doing supply runs is certainly possible.

Infection wouldn\'t last forever. In a week the military would organize and wipe the earth clean of 90% of them. Not like the movies where they never explain what happens to the military because they can\'t. "They just fell apart!" Good fucking explanation, I BUY IT. Not to mention ZOMBIES CAN\'T LIVE FOREVER, they make no sense to begin with but they\'re going to die quickly unless they feed immediately. Immediate survival is the goal and every scenario has risks because its a stupid scenario but you have to go with the one with the longest chance of survival.

Do you read The Walking Dead?


After 50 issues and some really awesome arcs its now getting into the fact that the government didn\'t just fall apart and all that.

Good stuff.

I\'ve had these conversations with my girlfriend, actually.  We live in a 2nd floor apartment with a private entrance...stairs basically from the door up to the apartment.  There\'s a grocery store right around the corner.  We\'d go there first, pick up as many canned goods as possible, as well as things like toilet paper, etc.  Then come right back.  Lock the door, destroy the stairs.  There\'d be no getting up here without them using things like ladders...and they\'re zombies.

From there, we\'d hopefully have the food to last us until something happens...either the military comes or they start dying out.  It\'s a brick building...sturdy build, so it wouldn\'t get broken into.  All the windows are second story with no easy way to access them.

Should we need weapons, we have plenty of tools with which to make our own...no guns, unfortunately, but I\'d be looking at barricading and waiting it out before trying to fight my way though.  If after a while we were getting low on supplies and nothing was changing, we\'d deal with that when it came, but hey...it\'s about to be a cold winter here...I\'m sure they wouldn\'t survive that too long.

I would definitely not go to any area with a ton of people...just try to isolate completely.

ive though about this but ive never seen it mentioned anywhere is what about nuclear fallout from unmaintained power plants?
i would stock up on gas,non-perishables and ammo and head to a place like mackinac island and kill off zombies there. I\'ll take my chances on zombies ability to swim or drive a boat

This guys thinkin\'.

You\'ve been playin\' too much "left 4 dead" joker.......Let\'s see i\'d definitely stock up on weapons, ammo, gas and food....i\'d go to an island,(but i would also like to know what is happening on the mainland, so my cellphone or laptop better have a good connection ) but who\'s to say that the infection was limited to just humans?....animals come into play as well...i\'d probably go to tha nearest military base and wait it out there, and put my family in a somewhat impernetreble(spel) room with supplies until this thing blew over.

I\'d also make sure i\'d have one of those military pilots on call in case s**t started to jump off at the base, in terms of the military folks becoming infected, so we can just fly outta that area altogether in case the situation deteriorated.

Where\'s gman story at?....he loves stuff like this....in a real zombie movie, he\'d be the hero and i would be the token black sidekick.....that WOULD NOT die within the first 5 minutes of the movie...

28 days later zombies are smart zombies fyi. They can climb fences, open doors, and attack weak points. They\'re completely human minus their thinking process (which is just destroy). If you go for an isolated place then you might get overpowered and swarmed.

North wouldn\'t be a bad idea...they wouldn\'t be able to travel very far since they\'d freeze over.

Hell going to a police station is still my ideal choice by far. If the infection starts in my city it could end in my city if I have prior knowledge on how to stop the zombies. Zombies still have memories of past life. They wouldn\'t associate a police station with pleasure so they wouldn\'t go there (they\'d go for grocery stores, malls, and houses).

I would go to the nearest river, get on a boat loaded with supplies and hope that after three months in tropical waters of the Carribean, the super zeds have starved to death.

They can\'t swim. Of course I\'ll have Megan Fox with me.
