What would you do in a zombie apocalypse

I would go to my friends house, steal/take one of his two swords. If he's their and alive he would probably join me, steal a car/ borrow. Then get the hell out of the area.
 
First thing I would do is gather all the knives, guns, ammo, and my baseball bat. Second, get in my truck and place all the weapons in the behind my seat, go to my girlfriends house, if she's alive I'll bring her, if she's dead go back to the truck so that way if she's infected at least I won't be bitten, if infected I'll leave immediatly before she gets the chance. Third, drive around and find more survivors. Fourth, drive to the nearest place to say, perferable a hotel or mall. If I choose to stay at the hotel, I'll take a look around with every other survivor and make sure it's secure, baricade the place, and find the room keys to get inside the rooms. If a mall, then I'll do the exact samething, but without the rooms. Fifth, if food and drinks are going low, we'll have a vote on rather we should stay and wait for help to arrive or if we should try to get to the truck and go to another place. If we go to the truck then I'll drive to another place, and hopefully find more survivors, if the truck runs of out of gas then we'll walk on foot or look for a vehicle.

LOL, i love how you keep a moral line between Stealing and borrowing during an Apocalypse lol.

I've had this conversation with a couple of friends of mine and i think they agreed with my take.

get yourself a big glass of something refreshing as i'm going to go into detail.

#1 I get out of bed, and i scratch my arse whilst walking downstairs like any other day. i slap the switch on the kettle and go open the living room curtains while the kettle does it's thing. Upon opening said curtains i notice clouds of smoke, cars alight, and random people running around being chased by corpses.

(Naturally, i take a double glance and then switch on the tv to check the news as to which just as the tv brings up the screen, the presenter gets pounced on by her turned camera man )

So it's from here i decide SHHTF so in typical British fashion... I get my percpectives right and do what's of the utmost importance........



I Mosey back into the Kitchen Whilst yawning and make myself that Cuppa, ( it's going to be a long day by the looks of it ) As i slurp on some of the finest tea known to man, i press play on my jam packed answering machine, that has people wondering if i'm ok and alive, with messages such as,

*beep*
'' Dude, dude you there ? dunno if you've seen the news maaaan, but those zombie guys are really ****ing up our vibe! Things are totally solar maaan, you gotta get your ass outa bed and meet me at Mikeys ( who ever mikey is ) laters man.....don't forget to bring some gear yea ? ''

*beep* ''End of message''

So i take a shower and pick out some of my best and practical threads,(gotta look good whilst straightening out the world ) as i let the Radio Auto scan as the radio stations keep losing their signals due to attacks at their stations and Deadheads pressing buttons they shouldn't be.

I then comes to the realization ( after letting the awnsering machine roll on ) that Most people i know are dead or have split. So i grab my well kept and much loved Lowlander ( 6ft Scottish slaughter sword ) for those who don't know. And make my way down to the Library ....yea, that's right.

*bleep*

''Dude, dudeee, this is far out maaaan, Change of plan Mikey is dead man, totaly cremated ! meet me at the'' *lines goes dead*

Now at this point... i'd jump in my big car if its not been burnt out roll my window down and blast out some GnR whilst letting fly with the biggest Uzi you've ever seen... But unfortunately, i do not live in America, for i live in Britain, so my car will have likely been clamped, which would mean i'd have to walk down and politely ask a zombie to excuse one's self whilst he munches a Man-sandwich.

I go to the Library to get one or two books on not survival, but Medicine,eating from the wild and anything of use. My back pack is small for obvious reasons, but i do not intend on carrying alot anyway.

Once i've selected my books and possibly a first aid kit... I make way to the nearest Castle. In the unlikely event that nobody else is there, i simply shut the doors, and block myself in after carrying out a full check of the building. Castle by its very nature are designed to keep out assholes, so you'll need very little labour to get maximum protection.

It's from this point i take stock and keep a very low profile.. never fully becoming dependant on the castle and keeping a bag handy for when i gotta split in a hurry. If the awnser to the problem is to sit tight then i'll stay.. but if it is really coming to an end... Then i'll use the castle as a stop gap and head north west to the Islands off the Scottish coast.. Take what i need to set up a camp and watch from afar.

I've no desire to stay and be a show off or a hero... I'll most probably go wherever the Fox's go, as they are great survivors.

As i said, it depends on where fate leads the situation, both are two very different sets of rules and out comes, so i'll spare you the details...

In my opinion...

It would be best to, as a default...

Get a cheap and easy to use food source as it'll be a time of great stress for your mind and body, so fuel is important... also, seek to return to your hunter gatherer past, and travel light and quiet. Almost unseen and unheard. Do very little to attract attention.

that's why i used the Fox metaphor, you gotta think quick fast, and act fast. In time when you settle into your new life style, your brain and your inner survival instinct, will do all the work for you, you just need to give yourself a chance in the opening stages.

If i couldn't secure the castle, then i'd find the next best thing.

Fin.
 
Well, I don't think I'd survive a zombie apocalypse anyway so I'd drive down to my local Bulk Barn, barricade myself in there and gorge on chocolate until the zombies break in.

That's not very Fatale of you...... but errr.... there's always time for Chocolate.
 
Listen, I've been on just about every possible diet known to mankind in the past five years... if the world is gonna end I need to make my last couple days worthwhile. :P
 
this is true, but you gotta think big and long term!

have faith the world will restore it's self, which will allow you to claim the throne and be the Queen of Chocolate in the new world!
 
EDIT: I never really gave this any thought but once I started I got really into it. Most of you will probably not bother since it got so huge but I think it's a flawless plan.

Get a bicycle, a backpack and a baseball bat. Bicycle preferable over cars because they fit in alleys and make no noise. Bat over gun for same reason, I don't want to be loud. Make sure to bring extra clothes, my laptop, and cell phone charger. Cycle around town hitting shops and grabbing what I need for a stakeout. Mostly nonperishable food and cigarettes (ideally electric ones). A walkie talkie so I can hear radio chatter and a radio in case there's a rescue call. I'd find the back room of some business to hole up in. Ideally I'd go to a strip-mall since there are both businesses and residences within walking distance. Most strip mall shops have a back room with a thick security door exit. They're kind of like panic rooms in a way. The downside is that the front of a strip mall shop would be made of glass. GameStop would be ideal because they have a back room in every store equipped with a bathroom for employees. No windows in the back room and a live feed from the cameras in front so I can see what's happening out front in emergencies. The store telephone would come in handy at first if there is no cellular reception inside. I would need to get a key by killing an infected manager, assistant manager, or keyholder so I could keep the door locked at all times. I may go on a second trip to gather a power drill and wood/sheet metal so I can reinforce the glass wall in the store. Failing that I would at least cover them with paper so no person or thing could see inside. I'd break open the demo consoles and game away.

I wouldn't bother trying to contact any friends or family until I was safely inside and the windows were covered. I would keep the door locked and be in the back room so nobody could get in unless I knew they were coming. If they can make it over, fine, but they'll need to bring food with them. I'm not about to make my hard-earned initiative go away twice as fast because they didn't come prepared. If they come without food then I'll hand them my bike and bat and tell them to come back with food before they come in. I would try to avoid letting anyone in unless it's an extremely close friend. I don't want anyone's stupid impulses putting me in danger. If someone came in they would be responsible for themselves. No friends of friends or anything like that. My house, my rules. If we're running low on food we alternate making runs to get more. If they want to do something stupid then they are free to do it, but shouldn't expect help. No grudges, to each his own. The simpler the the safer.
 
I wouldn't really know what to do, and I would not come up with any complex plan so I would just test out a very simple survival plan: Just stay close to Tremor and hope the zombies would want too keep whatever little brains they got.
 
I'm thinking a military base would probably a good place to go? (perhaps i'll do a large meaningfull write up when i can be arsed)
 
Well I'll do the most logical thing - go on vacation and hope the zombies are gone by the time I get back xD

If that don't work then I'd search around for any spare change and load up mai shotgun. Just an idea I got from somewhere...
