Usually, a mall seems like the ideal place to be during teh zombehpocalypse. Food, weapons, etc. But eventually, the zombies will close in. And it'll be dark.
That's why I've been writing a guide to survive in said scenario. For one thing, always find a watch and a mall with ceiling windows. That way, when the zombies close in, you'll have enough light to blast (fry, burn, etc.) its head off. And if you manage to put in an ample barricade in your bathroom (see tip two) you'll have the watch to tell you what time it is, so it isn't nighttime when you peer outside of your base. Plus, the watch serves the double purpose of holding your sanity (ever not known what time it was for days? it's not fun).
The bathroom is, by my reasoning, one of the best places to put a main base. The mirrors can be shattered to make glass shards for weaponry, there's clean water (not in the bowls, the cistern-that big part in the back), and there's usually a supply closet filled with all sorts of useful things. There's flammable aerosal and drain cleaner, some mops and brooms you can use with the glass shards for makeshift spears, and trash cans. Always good for barricades, these trashcans. When choosing your bathroom, always find a women's bathroom. They have more toilets with water and are less likely to smell horrible. Also, find one that is close to said ceiling window, so there will be enough light.
When going outside, consult your watch so you know what time it is. Arm yourself, and gradually pull open the door. If you're the queasy type, you might just wanna sneak around. If you're willing to take down some zombies, go for the head. More specifically, the brain stem. Unless the zombie you're dealing with actually controls the body and not just the brain, the brain stem is the best place to take out, as it controls all movement of the body. When you scavenge, stick to the walls. That way, one of your sides is protected. Never scream. You'll just attract more zombies. If you're actually attacked, run for your base if you have the chance. Fighting is generally not a good idea, as it'll usually attract more zombies. If you must, make jabbing strikes with the makeshift spear or just shoot them if you're lucky enough to have a gun and enough ammo. Remember to brace for the recoil when shooting. It's generally a good idea to run home immediately after the zombies is taken out if you're using a gun; the loud noise will attract more.
Unfortunately, that's as far as I have gotten. I'm open to suggestions/criticism.
