The zombie apocalypse has just hit, where do you go?

[Kermi]

I don't have a car which puts me at a substantial disadvantage. The first thing I do is call the friend that lives the nearest so he can bring his car here while I gather my weapons - he lives alone so I figure he'd be happy to team up and stay either here (or my wife and I go to his place). We head for the nearest grocery store to loot the fuck out of it. It's also next a pharmacy so every painkiller and antibiotic we can get our hands on is getting seized. Naturally we have to contend with other looters but I am relying on the majority people moving less quickly and simply hiding in their houses to "wait it out".

How do we handle the zombies? Well, the only useful weapons I have are some knives from a collection I built up as a teenager and I have no firearms. I'd really be avoiding any conflict at all.

I don't know where I'd find guns, and I wouldn't waste time figuring that out. I'd hope to be back in my apartment inside of an hour and hold out here until the military sorted it out. I have no intention of doing anything more heroic than that, since I'd be very unlikely to accomplish anything useful.

When we start running out of supplies and there's no rescue in sight, my actions might become more desperate in response but I'd try to latch us onto the largest group rather than trying to lead my own, and see where that leads us. I feel having a solid plan limits my options, so I'll improvise as the situation develops.

Nowhere.
I live out in the sticks.
They won't be swarming around here.
Not enough people for there to be a swarm in the first place.
Come winter, they'll be frozen anyway.

 

[Ryotknife]

well, im in New York state, so i have two plans.

1. head further north to the coldest climate possible. Zombies will freeze, even if they can not starve to death. Heading into the mountains is also an option.

2. find the nearest Wegmans (large grocery store), and barricade it with overturned shopping carts. Seriously, in every zombie flick overturned shopping carts confounds them.

The moon. I'll bring my best friends, and they'll bring their best friends, and so on and so forth for about a hundred or so links until we have a few thousand of us. Then, we'll all blast off, and destroy the Earth with an orbital death strike. Sure, it'll be a total failure, and we'll all die within a year, but at least I got to destroy the Earth.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

Shopping mall. Why? 'Cause i like to stick to the classics.

 

[laggyteabag]

*breath in*
Take car
Go to mums
Kill Phil
Grab Liz
Go to the Winchester
Have a nice cold pint
and wait for all this to blow over

Considering the whole Zombie thing is jammed down our throats constantly I have actually give thought to this.

Step 1: Cut hair

Step 2: Grab a reasonably sized bag and load up with sugary foods and carbs plus drinking water and the most important thing, The Zombie Survival Guide

Step 3: Get sword (not and ideal weapon, no one wants to get up close and personal but it's also silent so that's a bonus

Step 4: Exit house and head run too my work place (an hour run across mainly rolling hills and a small bit of wood land) to grab the girl i'm into, saving her from the horde is pretty much an expression of love without having to say the icky words

Step 5: Load up on cigarettes and fire making devises at the pub and head out to the hills.
Wide open spaces mean you can see in every direction and always have a place to run too. There is the rather large expanse of the English Channel at my back so if shit gets hairy, find boat and flee.

Check Facebook to see where the nearest end/of/days rave is gonna be, do a f*ckton of drugs, party like there is no tomorrow (because, you know...) and wait till some kinky girl or guy hits on me and humans start looking delicious.

Where do I go? Nowhere. I sit at home, lock the doors, and find a way to get in contact with the United States Air Force.

"Yo. We have a Zombie Apocalypse down here. You have hundreds of Apaches, trained pilots, and too much budget for your own good. It's a match made in heaven!"

Worse comes to worst, the Air Force doesn't show up. Welp. Zombies have no body heat, right? They're walking, shuffling decomposing corpses. I give 'em three days before their inability to use biological defenses really comes back to bite them and the heat, humidity, bacteria, and insects here render their bodies to a form no longer recognizable as human, much less able to move and pursue prey like one.

Then the HAZMAT teams come and clean up the... oh, I'd say the three hundred zombies that managed to amass before people realized they could be outwitted, avoided, and all around dominated by nature and everything in it.

Then I'm going to Disney World.

Considering it would only last a short period of time before all of the zombies freeze to death (or nonexistence, or whatever) and the "zombie apocalypse" could not possibly reach such a point to where I have to worry (biting is a terrible way to spread disease), I'll probably just stay in my house for a few days and wait it out.

If it is legit super voodoo zombie shit, though...I'd probably die.

 

[EL1TE 50LD1ER]

Well I live in Dublin (capital of Ireland incase ye didn't know) so I'd pack up all essentials prioritising my bike (wouldn't worry about supplies like food, this being Ireland farms abound) try get as far out of the city as possible by car. If necessary I would abandon the car and travel by bike. I'd head inland where it's really boggy and try to find a hilly area surrounded by bog-land.

 

[Gone Rampant]

I live near a port, so I'd make for the first evac helicopter or boat before the infection spreads that far. If the option's not available, raid a hardware store, a supermarket and secure a takeout place so food and weapons are secured. Bunker down, and let the bodies hit the floor.

Also, I'd kill any mad religious folk raving about letting the infection take us (Sorry pal, but I've met Unitoligists. Not gonna work on me!).

 

[Goofguy]

Get all the brovengers I can gather. This has got to be the work of the injustice league. Or get a baseball bat and smash a few heads. Whichever is easier.

Now that you mention it, a zombie apocalypse would be a good time to make sure the Brovengers are destroyed once and for all.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

School. It has medicine, probably food, shelter, kindling and gym equipment to be used as weaponry and defence. It's also quarter past 5 and the middle of the summer holidays so no one is there to be a zombie and it's 100% safe. I take my family there and call my friends and tell them to meet me there with as much food, water, medicine and equipment as they can carry and fit in their car. We wait it out or move on as a group.

 

[WaReloaded]

I live near Melbourne so getting out of the urban/suburban environment is crucial. Avoiding all major highways and freeways, I'd probably head back to East Gippsland where my family have a house on the lake and several boats (including several aluminium open boats and a 40ft Bertram). After locating my family and my closest friends, I'd gather enough supplies to last several weeks (rationed, of course) and head out into the middle of the lake.

If anything should happen out in the middle of the lake, it's barely a kilometre to the nearest Foodworks, so I'd head there and fortify the building. The Foodworks building is quite large and made of thick concrete, it's a three-story building (not including the attic/compartment where stock is held), so, once the stairs have been blocked it could house 10-15 other people and myself for several months. I used to work there when I was about 14, so I know my way around the building quite well.

I have another backup plan, just in case that one doesn't work out as intended, too.

I'd get on the phone to my dad, tell him to get the family together and meet him at his work.

It's a big recovery yard filled with cars and there's only him and his boss work there. It's well gated off and out of the way on an empty industrial estate so not much chance of any encounters. Best of all his boss has started selling supermarket refuse foods, (chocolates, crisps, pop thats out of date or has damaged packaging) so we could get by for months with what he has theoretically.
Also his boss's house is on site so we'd black out the windows with thick materials so as not to attract anyone/thing in the area at night with any lights.

My next plan would be to siphon fuel from all the cars, and select a 4x4 and a big car/van, reinforce the windows with bars and fill it up with supplies ready to escape when we are spotted.

Untill we get spotted I'd go out on supply runs with my dad and brother, first of all to a shop that sells bike leathers (because y'know, teeth might struggle with leather), and raid shops, supermarkets and abandoned houses, killing what we need to andavoiding the rest.

I'd most definatley start far away and work my way in, hopefully being able to lose any persuers on the journey back to base. I would also consider bringing back survivors, subject to a full strip search for bites and provided they're not in groups when I pick them up (so they don't form a sub-faction and fight for control)

After the resources run out/zombies begin to overrun us, we'll simply relocate somewhere out of the way and hopefully with solar panels and a TV, Xbox and a big collection of games to keep me occupied until it all blows over!
