YOUR zombie apocalypse survival plan

[Carlston]

Last night I lost power and, jokingly, my roommates started yelling "ZOMBIES". Eventually this led to a discussion about what we do for the zombie apocalypse.

Our plan is to fight our way out using knives/poolsticks/whatever we can get and jump in our trucks/SUVs (leaving the two cars behind) and going to my parent's farm. Being rednecks, one of my roommates and myself have enough firepower to put the marines to shame so we figure that would be the best place to go. Additionally, we raise black angus beef so, assuming the cause of the zombies targets humans only, we would have sustenance.

So what are your plans because we all know it will happen eventually!

P.S. I'm sure this has been done before but I didn't see anything on the first two pages and didn't want to Necro an old one.

First establish your the hero. Heroes never get "infected" you can have rooms of T-virus infected and unless it's a lame plot point to introduce another hero you never get infected.

Have a trade mark weapon. Chainsaw hands are good, but I have a classy demon sword from Renfaire, and .357 automag and a flak vest in the closet. Might even incorp the NVG's I got with MW2...but I look ghostbuster like...which is still good.

Quips, always have a smart ass one liner to throw out. From Ash to Guybrush, insults make the man and prove the Hero.

Never talk about 3 days from retirement, Red shirts are bad, but a nice crimson will avoid any mistake if you were a extra. If you only have a red shirt, speak in a scottish acsent until you find a off red or suitable color. That will insure success.

Find a memeber of the opposite sex in distress. Male or female, your weaker find will insure mating as well if you train them to fight they might help you in the boss fight.

Boss fight, lean towards the super natural. Screw the everything is in science zombie hordes. Magic...why? The hero can tap into said magic and make it easier. Science zombies always just end with a bigger zombie that by now that LAW rocket you find will toast in one hit. Nothing epic there. Demons now...insure your place in ZA history.

And if it seems like a impossible super monsters, and no orange spots point out a weakness...or no giant eye ball covering half the body. You must win with Quips... and a dramatic decapitation.

End of line.

Go out and Live on the Moors inbetween My Sparsely Populated Town and the next, Not Very Busy Town, Then make periodic runs to Tesco, and other food places...

By the way this also depends on the type of Zombie were talking about, 28 Days Later Style? Or Classic Shuffling Walks-about-2-miles-an-hour-but-still-chews-the-crap-outta-people-for-no-reason?

6. If there are any geniuses, scientists, or doctors in the group (which would be GOOD to have), they would start working on a cure for the virus by doing blood tests on some of the zombies we've killed. Hey, if you want to save humanity, you gotta start somewhere.

Lol, I assume zombie scientists would need a lab.

Where will you find a lab!?

Hell most colleges in the area have labs...and the mecial center.

all survival plans on the internet:

Survive through blind luck, rob a gun store (because the owners certainly won't be armed and will be perfectly agreeable to you takeing their stuff), rescue thay girl you like and survive and have lots of sexs in the north because chips and cookies will last forever.

 

[Carlston]

Did someone say PANIC ROOM?
idk.

True story: One of my more bored friends devised that zombies cannot go through doors so he constructed a door with handles and plated it with one inch of foil...
He also removed a few doors in his basement for convenience.

No no no, never in a panic room...
Remember if you do not keep the hero vibe going and wait, people who hide in rooms are found by other heroes and turned into zombies....or they die before they can open said door.

dude what a original & insightful thread.

why did no-one else think of this?

Wow... Sarcasm... That's original.

 

[trying to hide my account]

follow zombie lands list of rules

 

[Rawker]

Head to my friends house in the ghetto. they'll have guns there, it's the ghetto. he lives close to an airport and a walmart. we will survive.

Hmmm I never could get the fast running zombies, no times are most humans "fast running hunters" short of a sale. Even RE movie, they have the base need, the need to feed...well how many people turned zombie would hunt another human? They'd probley go wander burger kings...and basic needs?

Wouldn't that mean the zombies would be all humping each other to? Reproducing is just a strong need as feeding, and if your dead and don't need to feed...you stomach empty due to it gone and ripped out...the emotions of reproducing would take over...

Well I live in Australia so either the zombies happen somewhere else and us Australians will never get to join in with the action, or the zombies happen here in, which case we would be screwed because of strict gun control

 

[crimson sickle2]

Get a fast car. Get a lot of weapons. Drive to nearest military installment. If they're all zombies, grab a tank. Have fun. Hopefully I won't die from zombies.

Ahhh, I had a few plans. Depends on the zombies, of course.

Plan A: Slow moving, not-truly-undead (i.e. diseased) horde:

1. Find a well-stocked bomb shelter, hospital, or potentially the nearest large grocery store. Maybe library in a pinch.
2. Manage to get at least- one doctor, one survival expert, and a few others I can push into the horde when the time comes. Also must get several chickens and mice.
3. Get guns, pipes, crowbars, and ammo of course. Flashlights optional.
4. Have fun.

The hospital would actually be ideal, because it will have the most medical equipment (duh), and resources for creating a cure, which is why we have the chickens and mice. For a fast-moving diseased horde: Less pipes, more guns.

Plan B: Undead monsters:

1. Same as A, though this time I might go more for the bomb shelter. Or maybe somewhere with a greenhouse.
2. Stick with a doctor and survival expert again, but keep only one extra for potential use as zombie fodder/whatever.
3. Barricade the shelter, emerging only to start thinning out the horde. If a greenhouse is accessible, stock up on vegetables and water. Guns and ammo are needed, of course.
4. Ride it out and emerge as new rulers.

Plan C, most unlikely, but still- Headcrab zombie invasion.

1. Resist urge to try and keep one as a pet.
2. Get a gun and something to just beat the crap out of things with.
3. Look for the nearest theoretical physicist.
4. Have a grand old time and probably die.
5. Figure out a way to tame a headcrab and keep it as a pet.

That's just the basic overview, I figure I'd mostly make it up as I go xD

go to walmart
no one will be there
only 3 entrances all easily locked
small and compact but still roomy
full of guns and food
has those unbreakable metal slat wall things all over the place

Funnily enough I was only discussing this with my mate today.

If the zombies could run I would set up camping on my roof with a sniper, if they could only walk I would probably equip the nearest crowbar and have me some fun.

Although, what I would really probably do is sit indoors and play left for dead 2 waiting for it all to blow over.

 

[Reliq]

My friends lovingly refer to my house as "The bunker" so id prolly starve to death. Or shoot myself due to lack of toiletpaper.

 

[demoman_chaos]

Grab a gun, go to the National Guard armory just down the street, get a truck and some more guns, go to a grocery store, get food, go to my moms house way out in the country. When the zombies finally waddle their way out there, drive over them and pillage another town while dressed in a military uniform and make people think I am gathering supplies for a base that will soon come to their aid.
