Would you Survive???

[akibawall95]

We need to get past the topic of zombie invasion I mean this is the 12th time I have seen something like this. But I shall answer your question good sir. Yes I do think I would survive, all you have to do is get a flashlight and tape it to some gems and you got yourself a light saber (Dead Rising 2).

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

I've got the necessary knowledge to survive. What to do, what not to do, what resources are needed, how to defend yourself. The main problem I would have is that I'm definately out of shape. I may know what to do, but I'm not sure my body would be able to do it. So I'd say maybe. If I can survive the inital period of chaos, I'd have a good chance of making it longer.

 

[Skorpyo]

Give me a gun and ammo, point me in the direction of a supply cache, and I'll survive.

I'm a great shot, very perceptive, and I can travel long distances with (relatively) heavy loads.

I survive. It turns out zombies are a very ineffective disaster, and movies portray many unrealistic, incorrect or inconsistent details regarding their ability to damage or corrupt. [http://www.cracked.com/article_18683_7-scientific-reasons-zombie-outbreak-would-fail-quickly.html]

For one thing, it would take months of federal level neglect for a zombie outbreak to damage nations like the USA or Canada to the extent seen in games or movies, which is unrealistic compared to the SARS scare, which had entire countries locked down within hours after warnings that a spread could be occurring due to less than 10 infected people on one plane.

I'd say this is a good case of "I'm a taxpaying citizen; I damn well better survive!"

Damn right, our armed forces better be freaking good for something apart from a budget sink and political storm.

I would. i've got a good group, we've got the fire power and specialties needed. Without a doubt we'd survive. I know people wiht the weapons, supplies, and skills to survive. Id' first send out and organize for all my friends to gather and meet. we'd arrange a spot that they could travel to from nation wide and then we'd hold out and wait for the others. If they dont make it, we move on, heading to a decently sized isolated island nations. If the population is zombies, we waste them. If not, we live with them, for a new society ont hat island, watching the rest of the world fall.

Besidess, my one friend's dad drives an armoured truck they used to transport money in from bank to bank. its just getting one of those and driving across the country with food, supplies and trusted people, getting more from garages and finally meeting all of my friends before leaving for the island.

*taps head* I've thought this out.

To anyone who said anything close to "slow zombies? mow them down" I dub the dead. Humans are a harder to kill then you think even with the help of chainsaws.
I believe i would survive since i know the rules to the outbreak. I know the rules and how to break them with a sludge hammer if necessary. I may not be the most fit person but show me a horde of zombies and you'll find out real quick that I'm fast on my feet. Along with that, my current position in the world means when the zombies attack I'd be more likely to fall victim to wolves then the zombies. Which means time to prepare or time to move. Not to mention i have medical training slightly past first-aid in case of a non-bite injury.

So it's finally happened... Zombies shuffle among us. The slow but steady plague has spread to all corners of the globe and sightless eyes stare blankly in the world's greatest cities. But I'm getting off topic...

How long would you survive in an undead world?

Would you be one of the first to fall victim to cold, bloody hands, or would you be the one to crawl out of the rubble of the world, alive and ready for anything?

Be honest... If your 350 lbs. and the light of day burns your skin, don't say "I will survive!".

EDIT: Oh yeah, BTW... these are NOT the Left 4 Dead, Steroid-and-Redbull crazed Zombies that run like Olympic sprinters... these are more like "Dead Rising" zombies...

So in other words, these are the zombies we're expecting.

Very well, the answer is that Yes! I will survive! Because fast zombies WOULD be the end of us. Here is the deal. I am no great athlete, but I am healthy. I'm capable of hot-footing long distances and running, like about two billion other people on this planet who have an average physical stature. My concern is not in my physical state.

My worry is for safety. According to my estamates, my home is not really safe against the zombie hordes. I can imagine a fleeting few being held back by the fences or kept out by the house itself, assuming I destroy my porches. But what if a hundred come? Or a thousand? I'm on a hill. There's an incline that COULD work to their favor. And if they pile up? They'll get to windows... I'm not sure the interior of my house (with destroyed stairs and all) could stand up to the kind of zombies that would be able to get IN.

So! He has a plan! Now, this is based on the assumption that somehow - god knows how - zombies took the city of Pittsburgh (where I live) off-guard. My zombie plan is, in fact, to take over one of the tall buildings and massive-disable the stairs, keeping the elevators stuck on a high level to prevent commuting zombies. Suffice to say, The reason I would take a high tower is to lure zombies up onto OTHER high buildings so that they'll drop themselves off and make killing them easier for someone.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I could, but I'd probably commit suicide or so some incredibly dumb thing to kill me.

 

[Sneeze]

I reckon so, I could just see my mates going Shaun of the Dead and barring ourselves in at the regular while quoting L4D and Killing Floor at every opportunity, and having a quick pint, naturally.

 

[sirpwnsalot65]

Chainsaw + car + nails/ducttape = survival

 

[AlwaystheUnlucky]

Probably. My plan is I break all of the stairs, and open the doors/windows, with the exception of my backyard door. Then I lure a good number of zombies into my house with large music, then sneak away via ladder in my backyard. Then, I'll spend the rest of my time as a forager, living off beef jerky and canned foods, sleeping in trees, and incapacitating zombies by breaking their legs. You don't have to shoot zombies from keeping them from biting you, just being faster than them when it comes to movement.

 

[Wait...What]

I would do the British Thing...go to the pub have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over
Damn I do Love 'Shaun Of The Dead'

 

[GodofCider]

Well, obviously it would be incredibly difficult. That said, I suppose it depends upon my location and how long I have to navigate to a more preferable environment(I'm assuming the 'plague' does not spread and zombify the world over the course of twenty-four hours).

Given those prerequisites, I think I'd stand a reasonable chance of surviving.

 

[titanium turtle]

dead rising zombies- no problem- just let me grab my duct tape
but tbh I don't think there is any way that the old fashioned zombies (slow, stupid) could bite and infect people fast enough to cause any serious damage- only fast zombies or airbourne spread would have a chance of going apocalyptic

 

[The Wykydtron]

I have a carefully thought out zombie plan i'll be fine...Until i realise that there won't a Mass Effect 3, time to go down fighting

 

[MrNickster]

Slow, shuffling zombies are hardly worth worrying about. You can kill those things with greater ease then your average beetle-Virtually any car that isn't a convertible would make mincemeat out of those guys or would make an adequate way of escaping them. You don't need a whole secret stash of food, water and weapons unless the zombies run like cheetahs on crack and are stronger then a roided-up gorilla.

 

[DudeD1020]

I would die. I would kill myself before burdening the human race with my corpse

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

I would. Just barely tho. I'm lazy as hell but I can haul ass when I need to. I also understand that I need other people , specialists if possible , to make it thru another day.

This, to the letter.

 

[Srdjan]

Well I have enough weapons for sure, pretty in shape, at least better then fucking zombies, and the killing spree would begone.
