Zombie Plans-Revised

[Kiriyama]

Take one of my Dad's guns, and get shooting. And if those zombies go anywhere near my dogs, they are in for it. I don't fancy zombie dogs. Oh and Ill take my friend's scarf. Every time the zombies came in I am legend she covered her eyes and came out with not a scratch. I wasn't as lucky, never go see a movie with someone who hates things that jump out, and who has just had a french manicure.

 

 

 

What if there were hundreds of Zombies in your backyard trying to bite you, and you only had 25 or so bullets? And what if they surround you to the point where the rifle cannot be aimed?

 

 

 

Also, the zombie virus only infects humans.

That pretty much sums it up lol.

 

 

 

Just so you know, this isn't a serious site. It's all satirical.

Problem with these plans is that they all have a certain flaw. If you get guns(explosives etc) and try to defend yourself with them, you'd eventually run out of bullets. If you try using blunt or sharp objects to defend yourself, if would be impossible if you get overwhelmed or surrounded. Holding out in a place would be tough, because you'd have to find supplies such as clean water and food. Also, nuclear shelters, etc arent so easy to just find and even if you do establish a safe haven in a remote location, the zombies would exist for decades since they rot much slower than a regular corpse. So I dunno what to think of that would work in every aspect.......maybe an all out nuclear war?? :anxious:

[ember3579]

Since I live in the Deer-Hunting Capitol of the World, artillery shouldn't be much of a problem. I'd start out with making a shank from some scrap metal and/or wood, and go look for some weapons and aluminum. When I find a suitable amount of equipment for about 3 squads with many times over the amount of ammo and food needed for the same, I'd find a place with a suitable amount of rust and hopefully built-in defenses and teach any survivors the entirety of the Anarchists' Cookbook, as well as make suitable melee weaponry from any slag that isn't usable for anything else. When a decent sized convoy and some good means of transit such as a couple of pickup trucks, ATVs, and potentially something borrowed from the National Guard armory nearby for good measure. When we are sufficiently trained in the equipment we've made, we can send out hunting parties to wipe out zombies and such, while keeping a lookout for any survivors.

 

 

 

When the supplies we've gathered initially run out, we can find something in the hills that we can cook. We'll try and keep nearby towns in already fortified positions, but as needed, we'll make our own camp. It shouldn't be a problem for the average person around here to make a fort, with sufficient help. When we find a suitable area that we can hold for a long time and be able to make/kill our own food, we'll build a decent sized castle or tunnel network from the nearby materials. In case of emergency, we'll make the network open up into a nigh-untraceable area which is sufficiently away from the fort. Hopefully, we can find a place with internet connections, which we can use to contact survivors and meet up with other convoys.

 

 

 

On the good chance that we'll find a suitable mine shaft around, we could make the fort in there, after we clear it of any dangers. If we have little other choice, we can set explosives off to bring it down, potentially with a bunch of zombies inside.

 

 

 

It's a little rough around the edges, but it's a good plan. As a description of my immediate area, It's a standard small town with tons of forest and mountains around. There's enough people that would make a small convoy, but not enough to make cleaning the town of the undead a royal pain.

That sounds like the torment I went through. At one point in the movie I had to pry my girlfriend's fingernails out of my hand. It was like when a cat gets scared and digs in. The harder you try to pull the nails out the worse it hurts. I had all kinds of fingernail indentions in my hand from that movie.

[Harakiri]

I'd watch Mr. Rogers so when the zombies come to my house they call me a [developmentally delayed]ed 25 year old. Then they will leave me to watch Mr. Rogers. And then once the shows over, I'll act like Mr. Bean and not talk right and walk funny and look like an idiot.

[Phantom]

Get in my car and drive to the nearest military base :)

 

 

 

If I get swarmed by zombies on my way there, I would shoot myself. I don't want to be torn apart and eaten alive O.O

i like this answer. i think ill join him. and we will also hide guns in our underwear, so when the zombs come, we can just pull the guns out, shoot them, and presume watching mr rogers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if that doesnt work, then id let them bite my pancreas. if a zombie bites you ini the pancreas, and the pancreas only, you can be a zombie who thinks and controls himself like a human. and so id be safe.

 

 

 

 

 

how would i get a zombie to bite me in the pancreas?

I'd try to gear up, tight clothes, body armor, you name it. Id grab a sword, M16, grenades, Remington 700 hunting rifle, and a shotgun, and as much ammo as possible. I would hide in my house, turn off the lights, and observe people and the zombies fighting. I would try to get atop a tall building and snipe the zombies. If one gets near, I would have the shotgun ready to fire. I would use grenades as crowd control, and an M16 if i'm on the run. If I get cornered, I'd bust out the shotgun and start firing. If all else fails, pull out the sword, let out a battlecry(aka "LEEEROOYY JENKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNS!"), and get ready to kick some [wagon]. i'd also try to escape in a yacht with tons of food, then head north somewhat, unless there are the "30 days of night" zombies(aka vampires) whereas then i'd use a sub to escape.

[Agunimon979]

Zombies hate light so I'd turn on all the lights if its night, or if it's not, get out in the sun.

Umm, since when are zombies and vampires the same thing. If this is if they were the I am Legend zombies, then it might work, but if you see a crimson head and you are unarmed, not event the sun will save you.

[Lenticular_J]

My own personal one: I already have a pair of rifles in my room, one of which under my bed. I and my dog are light sleepers, and I do not allow any sort of noise in my room. I also am working on writing a script that forces my computer to search for any news headlines with "Zombie, Invasion" and other such terms. I have several melee weapons in my room, which is unfortunately on the second floor of my home. I'm working on a tripwire security system, and have a number of tight-fitting clothes, strips of leather, and other such necessities. My plans for escape, in certain scenarios:

 

[hide=Best Case Scenario]The invasion is in another country entirely, and well-controlled. Nothing needed! :P[/hide]

 

[hide=Okay Scenario]The zombies are in towns, but have not surrounded my home or any of my escape routes. I first grab my weapons, change into tight-fitting clothes, bunch and slick up my hair, grab necessities such as razors, first aid kits, etc. I then load my stocks of canned, boxed, and other foods that won't go bad within a month-3 months. I will also fill several canteens of vitamin water, with tiny amounts of coffee, sugar, and caffeine. I'll put my cyanide pellets in accessible locations (I'm not going down without a fight, but I'm not going down to be a zombie!)Hopefully I'll have enough time to round up/organize with my friends and family, raid a local wal-mart with them, and get to either A: One of the local high schools, B: One of the university's better campus buildings, C: The airport, or D: The local military base. From these locations we will secure all exits, provide fail-safes, and try to contact the government to organize possible extraction, as well as keep updated on developments. If the outbreak isn't terrible, we may go out during the day to find other survivors. If it is bad, and we have to leave, there are many small towns nearby (30 minutes- 1 hour drive) we could drive to. We also have plenty of bikes for traveling in smaller groups. If we don't need to/can't leave the city, we fortify our position, plant food in the garden, and start to breed the cows/pigs/whatever. Then we wait for it to end in safety.

 

 

 

We could also escape to my uncle's ranch near Oklahoma. Quite a tall building, plenty of horses and cows, hard to access (on a fairly tall and steep hill surrounding a flatland), good farming land. This would be the best.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Worst-case Scenario]The zombies are near/in my house. I cannot contact anyone, and it's near-impossible to escape the house. I grab all the food and water I can, and escape with my family and weapons to the roof with a short-wave radio and several telephones, to try and reach rescuers. If worst comes to worst, I kill myself.[/hide]

 

 

 

I wish more people would post realistic ones, not just "I grab every gun in DA WORLD AND GO BOOM LOLOLOL". :|

[Lenin64]

Oil tanker, as I already posted.

[jessy87]

OK, with Runners, which are basically nutball humans, an island is a pretty good idea.[hide=]So long as you could avoid hordes of uninfected humans swarming aboard with you and killing you for your resources. And let's not forget that at least one of those people is going to have some sort of slow burn infection or be dragging along an infected and restrained family member. In which case, you're stranded on an island with zombies.

 

 

 

With Shamblers, you have the problem of perpetual movement without a need for respiration. I.E.: They don't have to swim. Eventually, enough of them are going to simply fall into the ocean to form an enormous underwater swarm that just wanders around for all eternity on the sea bottom. Until they randomly happen upon your island redoubt, at which point they climb up onto the beach and the ensuing panicked massacre either restarts the infection or attracts the rest of the horde.

 

 

 

No, I'd go for a position that can be reinforced quickly, secured easily, has access to both consumable resources and reusable materiel and offers mobility in the event of a perimeter failure. A casino is the only way to fly. Generally speaking, casinos don't have windows. It wouldn't do to have the patrons watching the rise and fall of the sun, understanding that they should get the [bleep] out after three days of constant gambling and leave the establishment while they still have a single penny in their bank accounts. True, casinos usually have large glass front entrances, but those could be initially secured with just about anything. Like card tables or banks of slot machines. The other doors are usually heavy steel fire doors and can only be opened from the inside. This not only gives you initial security, but offers easy cleaning in the event of a breach. Eventually, the little bastards would just wander out and not be able to get back in. The only drawback is that when you lose power, the inside of a casino is pitch black and not exactly the place where you'd want to be fighting zombies.

 

 

 

That's why I'd go for the parking garage. The garage is usually only accessed from the ground by drive-up ramps which could be initially secured with cars and other improvised barriers. You could salvage water from the enormous sprinkler system, fuel from the hundreds of cars parked there at any given time and, provided you could raid the valet shack or had hotwiring skills, would have your pick of vehicle. Also, as most casinos have their garages in close proximity to their gaming buildings, you could access the roof of the casino from the second or third level of the garage. This means you could raid dry storage for food and engineering areas for materiel. And there would be more booze available than you could consume in a dozen lifetimes.

 

 

 

Of course, you'd eventually want to get out. Any redoubt is going to collect a moat of undead. Draining that moat, or at least punching a hole through it, is vital to any excursion. Once you're out, you can simply draw the horde away from the ramp before outmanuevering them and running back in. But getting out requires something with a very large kill capacity and an ability to operate in a sustained fashion. Also, being able to disperse the resultant bodies is a must. Otherwise, the reallydead are going to just pile up around the redoubt until their undead buddies simply walk up over them and breach your defences. So you take some structural steel salvaged from the garage, a welder and cutter from Engineering and the powertrains and axles from a few cars. You build an armature with the steel that can extend from your redbout down to ground level. At one end, you put a car engine and fuel tank. At the other, you place a rear axle with the tires removed and replaced with four-foot chains looped through holes in the wheels. Between these points, you rig up a drivetrain. Lower the business end down to zombie-level, crank her up and just slew the Zombiewhacker through the crowd. If it works, the zombies below will be pulverized, their atomized chunks spread safely across the landscape and their buddies drawn in by the sound to meet similar fates. Once the herd has thinned, you and your merry band can comb the landscape at will, return home, whack a few more zombies and enjoy a nice, alcohol-augmented sunset.[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

zombies dont need to breathe, so they could travel underwater. Theoretically.

 

 

 

 

 

also, havent you guys seen that movie where their was an antarctic zombie? blood was like -55 degree's F before he stopped movie, when he thawed started his rampage again. It takes a while for the blood to coagulate, but he being dead is a big disadvantage to. Let's just say they had to use the buildings to their advantage and the warmth from the buildings that he would walk to would void any coldness while he was in the snow and stuff.

Oceans have pretty damn strong currents on the bottem, the zombies would never reach the island I'm heading to. /zom/ has assured me of this :P

[Lenin64]

Necromagus referred to a "redoubt", what does that mean, exactly?

 

 

 

And I still say an oil tanker/cruise ship is the way to go. Zombies may walk along the seabed, but they can't swim.

[jackattack]

I'd go to a really tall office building like the transamerica pyramid. I would just block the stairs then I'm safe. Zombies can't use elevators.

[Lenin64]

I just remembered a conversation about this I had with some of my peeps a few months ago. One of them claimed a virus is being developed that uses electrical impulses to stir activity in areas of the brain that were shut down, essentially a cure for alzheimers. He also said that it could potentially use those pulses to restart the brains of the dead, was communicable, and lead to a zombie invasion.

 

 

 

I don't know about all that, but it get us talking. That's where I developed my oil tanker plan. But that's really sort of doubtful-after all, I don't live in a major port town-so I would have to go with what someone else decided upon.

 

 

 

Wal-Mart. They have everything, electronics, food, guns even. As a bonus, there's a Home Depot or Lowes, I forget, very near by, and a Costco in case we run out of food. Easily fortifiable,I could ride out the invasion in there, and kill anyone who attempts entry.

 

 

 

This conversation also spawned many jokes, seeing as the virus is supposedly transferred through any bodily fluids. Urinating zombies were the highlight of this humor :D
