Zombie Plans-Revised

[Guest]

Read a little bit of the guide, and some things came up.

 

 

 

First of all, mabye we should attack the zombies, to help clean the area. Think about it, if we kill, say, 500 zombies, it means there are 500 less threats to deal with. First, we find a high up building. we completly cover up are enterences, and we sit ontop of this building, making as much noise as we can. We have, say, 50 men up there and 5 helicopters. Once the zombies start arriving, they're sitting ducks. They can'y do a thing to harm us, while we have guns, large rocks, bolts, any kind of ammo to kill them with. It doesn't matter how many come, as long as we have plently of ammo. Once we've cleaned them all up, run out of ammo or supplies, we simply fly away on our helicopters. After, of course, burning any dead bodies that we killed.

 

 

 

 

 

That leaves too much to chance, though. First off, what happens if one or more of the helicopters malfunctions? What if you don't have enough fuel to get away far enough that the zombies won't be able to follow the sound of your helicopter? What if one of the undead somehow make it up to where you're perched at? And, of course, do you REALLY want to broadcast your position to bandits like that? That's part of why going on the offensive is a dangerous proposition; it can not only go real bad real fast (even by comparison to being defensive), and it gives any looters or various other bad uninfected people a beacon to follow.

 

 

 

It's risk and reward. You can take the risk, and in the end, you'd be alot safer. And bandits do show up - so what? They still can't reach you. Obviously they could try and gun you, but if its 500 zombies and you shooting at them, looters won't last too long.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure, but I don't think that you can do this particular plan reliably without having your home base nearby. Looters would follow the helicopter, thereby finding your BOA and can plan out a way of getting in, killing you, and taking your s@#%. And if you say that the rooftop's your base, you are woefully uneducated in the ways of the zombie survival.

 

 

 

I'm assuming we have a large community put together, of 300 armed people or more, in a huge building, such as the upper level of a mall. Trust me, it would have to be a huge group of looters to do anything.

 

 

 

Good point about zombies following the chopper back, though. You could get over run if you attact too many.

How in all the Hells are you going to support that many people without somewhere to grow food for that many people? While large, armed groups do help deter your average shady character, anybody with their wits about them could do things in such a large group that they wouldn't be able to otherwise. Also, you have a lot less control over the spread of insanity in the ranks (go watch The Mist, you'll see what I mean).

Only members of the Zombie defense force would be with us, assuming of course numbers grow should there be an outbreak, so everyone should be fairly organsied and follow orders.

 

 

 

And simple, we have acres of farm land around the building. Living somewhere doesn't mean you never leave the building. Of course, we would have a "great wall of china" surrounding our farming land.

[Wisp]

Ok, for a start: Attracting or actively hunting zombies if you're trying to survive, and aren't trying to retake an area for humanity is one of the stupidest things you could do.

 

Look at your average rural/suburban area. Let's say it's suburbia. In each house, there are at least 5 rooms with doors blocking them off (bathrooms, bedrooms, closets). What if, in their ignorance someone locked a zombie in one of those rooms, hoping they could find a cure. What if you walk into a room, and before you have a chance to respond, a zombie who had it's legs crippled, is biting your ankles. your dead. What if 20 zombies swarm you. I doubt anyone (except maybe a few) who uses this forum is actually an good marksman/woman. If you have a rifle, depending on the clip size, you might have 10 shots before you reload. You fire ten off, which would take you some time to aim and get headshots on all of them, then you have to fumble around in your belt/whatever for another clip, put that it, and chamber the first round. By that time, a zombie could be eating you.

 

Zombies following helicopters isn't a problem. Zombies in the new area hearing the helicopter and swarming to wherever you land. Especially if it's an emergency landing, that would mean you're likely dead.

 

On the topic of bandits, who says they're not better equipped than you? What if one of them got an apc or a tank, they can just run through your barricades. What if one has a decent sniper rifle, and kills all your guards before you even know where they are. What if they have a helicopter? You can't just shoot it down, even if you had the ability too, that would set your building on fire, and cause an explosion.

 

 

 

The best thing to do, no matter what, is go to the middle of no where. at least 50-100 miles from any civilization, and make a place where you can farm to stay alive.

 

The chances of a zombie running into you is low, and if it does, you should have atleast a basic wall, and people keeping guard. Bandits would be hard pressed to find you, and would stay closer to what's left of civilization

[Wisp]

That's why I said zombie's following the helicopter wasn't the problem, it's just all the zombies heading towards wherever you landed.

[Wisp]

What if you have an emergency landing in a field? What if there are no supplies? Almost all the airports would have been emptied early on? What's the stop the zombies who are already there from eating you.

 

And more importantly, who here has ever even flown a helicopter?

I have 15 hours of flight experience tyvm.

 

 

 

In GTA IV........

[Wisp]

I have about five with helicopters, but that was just one weekend. I could fly if I needed. I have a lot with small planes though. I forget the exact number, though i have it recorded somewhere.

[PlzPuddngPlz]

Just thought I'd add "the fastest zombies have been clocked at 1 step per 1.5 seconds"

 

Relative speed for ya.

 

EDIT:Reading the WWZ book now

 

OTHER EDIT: hit the halfway mark, think I'll take a break so I don't get too paranoid.

 

SECOND OTHER EDIT: finished it : ), it's pretty good

[Guest]

Ok, read some more of the guide. Here is my new fail-safe plan:

 

 

 

Within one week of the outbreak (assuming it was a decent ways away):

 

 

 

Pack up, bringing only essinals and mabye a few entertainment supplies. Rally family, friends, and their familys and friends. Travel to a remote area with buildings already built, such as a small "ghost town" (assuming we can find one, many people will have fled entirely) and clean the area of zombies. This means searching the land, water, buildings, everything. Once that is done, we begin living. We dig a huge trench around the town, at least 10 feet deep, with a plank across it. According to the guide, zombies are un cordinated, and cannot balance, so if we build a reasonably thin bridge across the ditch, only humans can cross. Of course, this would be well guarded. (We clear the area surrounding, so no possible hiding spots for bandits/snipers.

 

 

 

From that... Live our life. The way I see it, we're zombie proof and bandit proof.

well seeing as by the time the zombie apocalypse comes ill probably be living on me multi-acreage in country aus. large house, bomb shelter, hopfully my centurion tank (cheap-ish apparently), perfected my PBG grenades,normal grenades, have some shotguns and some machineguns, and hopefully enough food to survive a few months without leaving the house.

 

 

 

ill be well defended. i hope.

 

 

 

i should also build some turrets with motion sensors to mow down zombies as they wander onto my property.

 

 

 

anything i need to add here to survive? ;s

how large would you recommend? it has to be large enough for zombies to not jump over it.

 

and anything i can use other than acid? thats kinda hard to come by in large quantities

2 feet wide, 6'5 deep should do it. Zombies can't jump, so as long as they dont simply step over it your good.

 

 

 

And leave it empty, and every morning check and kill anything in the moat/trench.

id rather it a bit wider than 2 feet. what if a zombie fell over and was used as a bridge? :thumbdown: 8'5 or so tbh...and maybe put metal [bleep]es on the bottom?

No metal [bleep]es, they'll interfere with your disposing of the corpses after they fall in, and you kill them.

True. And don't worry, zombies are insanely un-cordinated, they can't use bridges any thinner then around 4 feet wide. Unless you get a sumo-wrestler zombie, you should be safe.

better safe than sorry. i dont wana be eaten

 

as for disposing bodies harder with [bleep]es, ill just poor petrol in the hole and burn it, followed by a few grenades

That's just stupid.

 

it would attract waay too much attention.

 

and probably wouldn't be good for the [bleep]es.

[Wisp]

Ok, according to the zombie guide, a zombie can pull itself up a 5 (sometimes up to 6 or so foot wall) and about 1 in 4 could climb a ladder. So a zombie could easily get over a bridge. And 4 feet wide is pretty damn wide. As long as it didn't decide to walk in to the pit, it would be fine.

 

 

 

[bleep]es are bad. They would pin the zombies down, and it would make it easier for them to crawl over eachother. And unless the [bleep]e went through the head, it wouldn't help. Why the hell would you pour petrol, what would be the rarest needed resource in the world on zombies to burn them? and grenades? Grenades are designed to shred vital organs in the chest/stomach. Throwing a grenade into a crowd of zombies would make them a lot slower, but only some would be actually killed. Grenades such for this. Here's a better solution: Build a 10 foot wall. No zombie could get over that, even if they pile on top of eachother, if you put barbed wire at the top.

and pits on the both sides of the wall!

[Wisp]

Pits on the inside would just reduce the amount of space you have, and a make it harder to escape if you ever had too. But whatever works, I guess.
