Zombie outbreak

Have you ever seen Shaun of the Dead? If you haven't then I recommend it. Unlike all other Zombie movies, life gets back to normal in the end. :D

Great movie, but in all seriousness... I'm talking about a Land of the Dead type scenario.

We could still live our normal lives, sure.
But you'd be on the run constantly, death knocking at every door.

I wouldn't be able to live like that.
 
Antartica :D. Or someplace hot. The Zombies would decay faster in a warmer area, so you could sort of wait em out assuming these zombies decay over time.

I never joke about zombies.


(In case this also seems like a joke, no, that post was dead serious and 100% factual. One of my buddy's gf's even told me, "I like you, but you inspire zombie talk")

Yeah but people are stupid in zombie movies. How exactly the island place n Land of the Dead got overrun is beyond me. It seems the soldiers didn't know how to use a) their feet and b) automatic weapons. Zombies are slow, run away and get some distance you idiots.

I recommend each and every one of you to pick up the The Walking Dead comics. A continuing story about a group of around 10 on the run across America, seeking refuge and safety amongst the zombie apocalypse. Whilst it kicks all sorts of ass on a zombie scale, it's really tense and it focuses heavily on the characters and the situations and problems they all have to face. It's awesome.
 
I'd load up my bug out vehicle (volvo 940 turbo estate) and head to a tactical place that is fairly close.
It is tactical because it is a peninsula with an old fort, a cliff at one end and a very steep paved track that can only be tackled in 1st gear, it would be simple to make this road impassible to cars soon after you pass by pouring oil onto the road.
The fort itself has a moat and bridge, the bridge could easily be nocked down or barricaded easily.

There are underground magazine sections of the fort that have steel doors that are locked from inside which i could hide in easily

There is a herd of goats on top of the hill which could easily be herded and locked beyond the fort where there is grass and they would provide food, i would also have a large amount of food supplies in the volvo.

Weapons are a bit of a problem in the UK but i have a few items suitable for zombie decapitation and a i could cobble together a flamethrower very quickly.
 
Don`t bullshit, you`d look at them and they would explode.
 
I mean damn, just thinking back to all the drunken zombie discussions I've had and a continuing point is; how do the military manage to do **** all? Helicopters, tanks, armouries upon armouries, survival training (you know, being in the wild, not actual Anti-Zombie training...) ...

I mean one tank alone could do a fuppin' mad lot of damage. Obviously by the time just about every weapon is depleted and all the shells are gone you just run what you can down. Just got to make sure you've made yourself some distance from any huge crowds before you go and re-fuel.
 
They become fast zombies when they are lit on fire though....

And they wield knives! D:
 
I wouldn't have to do anything except move out of the way, since they'd just eat each other. For the few stray zombies, I'd just have to run toward another one and get them to see each other.

I don't get how all of those movie writers over looked this one flaw. Zombies (as they are done in movies) are supposed to only have basic brain functions like moving, and survival/eating (and not more advanced ones like forming alliances and enemies), but if they are only trying to survive, they'd see a person that they're trying to eat run away, then see that there's more food just standing next to him, and they'd all eat each other.
 
Luckily, being at a military school I'll just go down to our armory and load up on guns and ammo. Also, we have a shitload of food and water just in case, so I'll grab that too and then jack someone's truck. Then, I have a list of people to rescue, so I'll start heading north and pick them up as I go.
 
I'd definitely make a break for the local Air Force Base with my golf clubs as my closest accessible long-reach weapons.

Aye, that's what everyone thinks.

However, a zombie attack is nothing when compared to a mass-invasion by the deadliest of creatures; The Velociraptor. Mark my words, a world-wide raptor attack would make a zombie outbreak look like a walk in the park.

tbh a zombie outbreak is actually more likely to happen. as for the zombies eating each other i think the reason they dont do that is because their bodies dont contain the warm blood and BRAINS that they need to function .
 
Smoke, did you read Max Brooks "The Zombie Survival Guide?" Because I did.

Stay in my house, invite over some friends to help guard so we can work on shifts. I would attempt to get a stash of Semi-Automatic weapons and a large stockpile of ammunition. Run a bathtub full of water (So I can keep drinking when the water is cut) and stockpile food upstairs. Once I've fully stockpiled everything, take up a ladder and smash the staircase (zombies can't climb) I'd also keep a crowbar, machete and axe with me. Eventually I would do my best to get to a oil rig, very very handy because zombies can't swim, I'd have power, food and water, all from the ocean.

Anyone after a copy of the book, it's avalible free at

I would run around with a shotgun and periodiclyrant something out of the bible

What, it worked for gregori
 
Get an airship. Prefurubly before the zombies come. Locate it some where convinient for an escape to. Use its long endurance, range, etc to get supplies from areas with little/no zombie activity and live on there until they're all dead for some reason or another.

Job jobbed.

Or maybe zombies don't like the taste of rotting flesh.

I`ve seen this debate everytime I watch a zombie film with somebody.

Zombies still retain a sense of what is edible and what isn`t. Seen dawn of the dead? The zombies sometimes do eat each other, and they stay away from eating that damn dog as well. What does this imply? It gives weight to my theory that they still retain a sense of society, not the sociecty we think of. Just enough to stop them from constantly munching one each other though.
 
As has been stated in the ZSG, Zombies don't eat things that are already dead. They also don't Need to eat, sleep, drink or do anything that humans do as the Solanum transforms the brain into an independant organism. You could always hide for five years or so as the zombies rot. It'd take about 20 years in a class 4 outbreak, granted buuut, it still would be worth it to survive.
 
If you read zombie survival, go read world war Z. Also by max brooks, excellent book

Just read that book. Thanks alot, I thought I was paranoid before but this is crazy.

A good crazy.
 
I'd prolly grab my sidearm and hide out somewhere near the Simpson desert.

And i promise... any deranged zombie that comes withing two miles of me will recieve a cold beer for being one determined mother****er!

I LOVE YOU AUSTRALIA!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

PEACE

What if the zombies just "die" after about a week or two of not eating or anything. Come on, Natural Selection at it's best. If you suck enough to get eaten by a zombie, you're probably an idiot anyway.

28 days later got the same idea...its upcoming sequal 28 weeks later.
 
A zombie outbreak? I'd just divide by zero.

...Wait, no I wouldn't. OH SHI-
 
Stop spamming you asscakes.

Seriously though, I'd take my grandfather's weapon stockpile and buld a heavily fortified armory, hole up, and kick some monkey ass. In the friggin' MOJAVE DESERT! D:

What about food and water?
 
If you plan on eating infected bodies you might as well shoot yourself.
