Survival: The Inevitible Zombie Attack.

Survival: The Inevitible Zombie Attack.
With current medical research continuing at alarming rates it seems to be inevitible that someday there will be an outbreak of some crazy virus that will cause the dead to rise and the living to be fodder for the ravenous hoard of undead. What will you do on Z -day? Head for the hills or stage dive into a crowd of awaiting zombies? For those of you who want to go out with a bang, I suggest reading on.

Step 1Day 1

Day 1
The infection starts. If your lucky you hear about it on the TV before you notice your neighbor lumbering around his yard, gnawing on his own hand. The first thing you must do is size up your opponent. Are they fast zombies that can run as fast or faster than you? Or are they the Shawn of the Dead comically slow zombies? If they are fast zombies I would say you are screwed, but being they are deteriorating reanimated bodies, I will assume they are slow zombies. Now you need to determine what is the game plan.

In my situation, buck knives are plentiful (as well as axes and farming equipment, man my house was dangerous as a kid Xp). We carry a basic supply of: a couple shotguns, but shells are large and limit carrying capacity; hunting rifles with scopes, moderate ammo capacity and have great range of fire for delaying impending hordes; .22 target-shooting rifles, vast ammo capacity but small caliber so well-placed shots are needed. Of course all of these make noise and attract attention, but the 22 is quietest & is only audible at up to a mile in forested landscape. Silencers can be made simple, but only specially-made military-grade ones are a quiet POP POP POP like in the movies, general silencers just limit the loud BANG and lessen the audible range. Of all guns, the .22 is quietest and effective with good shots (if you're a bad shot, just dont even carry a gun). Guns themselves though should take a backseat to quiet hand weapons and only be used if spotted by a horde.

My lil V8 pickup gets 21mpg and its a great offroader. Remember, the roads in or near the cities will be flooded with cars from people bottlenecking out of the city, so the only usable motor vehicles will be light 4x4 trucks/SUV's or motorcycles. When considering lone survival or fuel consumption, the motorcycle would be best choice. Just remember that it cant carry much extra fuel, and most often its louder than most small trucks.

Why does everyone stay in the city? I live in the country, and our area is perfect for warding off an attack or avoiding an impending one.

Come on guys, Eye of the Tiger, everyone has to agree with Mr.Cool. Or, maybe, 10,000 fists in the air, can't remember who it's by, sorry.
Nov 2, 2011. 4:57 PMTimmyMiller says:
it is by "disturbed" isn't it.

p.s. great song although i can't really remember the words
Sep 10, 2011. 6:43 PMThat One Eegit says:
you left out warpaint and a bandanna. Gotta look cool while doing it!
Aug 22, 2011. 8:26 AMxinistrom says:
what if....... you walk around pretending to be a zombie? how would they tell you apart?
Apr 12, 2010. 8:53 PMghostrider2 says:
believe it or not, gaveyards are safer.  if the virus does reach the bodies, they still have a coffin and 6 feet of dirt to get through, and they only have normal human strength to do it with anyways.  the true zombie does not have super human power.

Just As You Imagined by Nine Inch Nails, my personal favourite for killing.
Aug 18, 2010. 9:33 AMbringontheonslaught says:
me and my friend have been planning for four years and this plan can allow us to survive a while. We wouldn't have done all that planning for nothing. so to all of you none-believers, good bloody luck!
Apr 12, 2010. 8:49 PMghostrider2 says:
appartment buildings might be safer.  zombies cant climb, so if you destroy the stairs from the first floor, and stop the elevator on one of the upper floors, you eliminate the possibility of them following you upstairs.
Jun 29, 2010. 10:53 PMnetbus says:
But then you are stuck upstairs, wise guy! But I o agree that buildings are safer. A tent is useless... I would suggest barricading somewhere, then somehow finding a group to help you survive and only then to find a nice place at the wild to live in - make sure that there is always someone to stay awake while you sleep.
Aug 10, 2010. 3:01 PMRokko8652 says:
Yea, you can jump down the broken stairs, and you may be able to find a ladder, if yuo are lucky.
Jul 27, 2010. 6:27 AMPyroTeen213 says:
dude we're zombies food as long as people are alive zombies are alive
Jun 29, 2010. 11:00 PMnetbus says:
Lolz my girl is scary... They will all re-die if she will show up! XD
Jun 29, 2010. 10:58 PMnetbus says:
Everyone have their own patch of survival. Some work, some don't. You monster truck won't work. Dude, the outbreak is here! There is NO fuel! consider a simple car, with a bicycle on top of it. Fill it with fuel and supplies, and as soon as you're out of fuel, get on your backup bicycle.
Jun 21, 2010. 7:51 PMJamesTB13 says:
Get to the stores before other bands of people fortify them! It's a bad idea to fortify a store anyway, but people panic and hole themselves up anywhere. Also, zombies have limited vocal capabilities, but essentially normal hearing and smelling. So don't worry, if you're in a building with infected, they won't be able to smell you out like a wolf.
Jun 21, 2010. 7:47 PMJamesTB13 says:
Actually, considering that the virus overtaking the brain is only determined on spreading itself, raiding gun shops would, in fact, be easy. Zombies have no problem solving skills. They could be waist-deep in fully loaded Glock 18's and they would just keep walking towards you, wanting to bite. Zombies don't kill, they infect. The reason is that zombies aren't actually dead. Just infected with a virus that strips away any memories and reasoning. An interesting book for this, although not quite zombies, is 'Cell', by Stephen King.
Apr 13, 2009. 6:38 PMAwesomeOpossum says:
No offense, but it'll never happen. Once ur dead your brain cells die and than your neurons die and ur flesh and cells. Once the brain is dead, there's nothing to send messages to neurons. Viruses also are not living. They are made mainly of protein, and are not prokaryotic cellsike bacteria. (They have no DNA or nucleus) It's a. Entertaining guide and all but lacks all facts of reality. The common cold isn't going to raise Abraham Lincoln from the dead and give him a craving for flesh.
Jun 21, 2010. 7:37 PMJamesTB13 says:
That's the one zombie thing I can't stand, re-animation. I can completely understand if some super-virus leaks out of some test facility and takes over the people's bodies, but, if it's dead, it's dead.
Jun 27, 2009. 10:49 AMex89158 says:
And that is EXACTLY what the zombies want you to think, but disciplined logical analysis proves that you are wrong. Consider this, Poindexter, If there was not going to be a zombie apocalypse, why would you try so hard to convince us otherwise? Only someone who knew they were lying would go to the effort to defend their beliefs. Ha! Gotcha! But the most definitive proof that zombies are real is the fact that we have seen them in movies. They could not show them in movies if they were not real now could they? You can't argue with logic and facts!

ever hear that most movies are fake?
