Zombie Plans-Revised

[The_Mather1]

How about creating a retrovirus that makes the body cause a short, localized, strong fever effect around the infected area to fry off the virus?

[Seraphi]

You are still injecting yourself with some kind of damaging toxin or virus...

[The_Mather1]

Retroviruses are only viruses that have been reprogrammed to alter your DNA in a programmed way.

[Seraphi]

Yet somehow it creates the same effect as a fever?

 

muddling with genetics will get you killed, Mather, unless you have a multi-million pound labs worth of equipment at your displosal, and a large research database.

[Icuownage]

Retroviruses are dangerous O_o

[The_Mather1]

Or random luck. Never dubt how random occurances might alter seeming certainties.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Time for the TZDF to get start planning again.

[jasignhagj]

Or not :P

4 teh lulz

[Wisp]

Issue with that was assuming they were literally just corpses that could move. Which, zombies that we are talking about are not. Zombies as in the survival guide are not like that.

[Dizzle229]

Alright, guys. Time for a challenge. How do we prepare for The Rising/City of the Dead zombies?

 

-Demon souls in human bodies. Retain memories of body.

-Can be killed only by shots to the head.

-Can communicate with each other using the language their body knows.

-If killed, can be reanimated in a different body later.

-All living organisms except plants and bugs will reanimate.

-Not a virus, does not spread.

-Zombies will rarely eat tissue, and will ALWAYS try and keep the victims intact when killing.

-Anything that dies anywhere for any reason WILL reanimate.

-Retain memories of past bodies.

-Will use weapons and coordinate.

-If their host knew how to do something, so do they.

-^^^ This means zombies in vehicles, people.

-Will use zombie rats and small mammals as spies against human hideouts.

 

Try THIS.

Aren't you pretty much screwed, since it could take over you? Or is it just dead bodies?

Just dead bodies.

[The_Mather1]

Wait, will always keep bodies whole? Just wear neck protection, the only thing it'll do is to strangle you.

Just dead bodies.

Purification by fire.

[Dizzle229]

When they can. They will by NO means hesistate to damage you, and often they shoot guns and try to run people down. Some even go for the bloodier option just for [cabbage]s and giggles. They don't go out of their way to keep new recruits squeaky clean, they just prefer it that way.

 

Also, SPOILER ALERT for anyone that actually wants to read the books, but...

They pretty much are screwed. Everybody dies. Not the characters. Not everybody in an area. Every single living thing on Earth.

 

Still, it HAS to be possible to survive for the length of your own life, we just need to figure out how.

[The_Mather1]

In that case...

 

Everyone, follow Breen!

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Question here, rocco.

 

If, say, you're hunting and make a kill, does it come back to eat you before you eat it?

[Retech]

Live in space. :thumbup:

Hmmm... like the Ghel?

 

Simple! we just call The Doctor!

[The_Mather1]

It's easier to just do "a Breen", abandon all hope of defeating them and be a suck-up in hopes of being spared.

[Dizzle229]

You can still hunt living animals and eat them, just remember to decapitate it and and crush the skull as quickly as you can.

 

Also, the Breen technique, also known as the France maneuver, won't work. Their specific goal is to wipe out everything, no exceptions. They don't want to rule, they want to destroy.

[The_Mather1]

Just what the advisors want too, why else stop reproduction, drain the oceans and breed headcrabs.

Zombies don't establish puppet states :wink:

[The_Mather1]

Neither did the advisors, they just used humans to make combine soldiers. They behave the same way, and would need a "Breen" for the sake of calming people to make them easier to get.

Calming people? They wouldn't need a human for that. In the book, they get a zombie that died recently of natural causes to get on a radio and call all humans in an area into a trap.

 

It doesn't matter though, because by that time the majority of humanity is gone. Think about it. All the bodies at every hospital and morgue, every animal that dies, is now coming for you. 90% of the world's population is gone after the first month. For the rest, it's just a matter of time. Whether they kill themselves, try to run from their hideouts, or just die of disease or old age, humanity doesn't have a chance.

 

What I want to know is, how do we survive until we die naturally?
