- only you know
- zombie type is up to you
Time to go over my credit card limit buying shit for my home, mainly food and water. I wonder how long would electricity keep running.
At least I can pick zombie type, so only slow walkers like in the original Resident Evi or in Project Zomboid.
Living on an upper floor comes in handy for once, as it’s actually fairly easy to barricade the front door. Alert some key close friends and family members who will actually believe me. Then stock up on canned goods, fill every possible thing I can with water, and grab some camping solar kits for power once the grid goes down.
After that? Hunker down. Avoid being clearly seen in windows or heard to prevent attracting the undead. I reckon I need to last about 6-9 weeks.
See, the thing is, zombies are going to die out. The average human can go 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Let’s assume zombies have a magical lack of need of hydration, so they last 3 weeks. Double that for the time they’ll have ample food. Assume another 3 weeks that they’ll cannibalize each other or something.
At that point, I can begin to venture outside. Small numbers of capable zombies may still exist, but most will be dead or starving. Other survivors are my greatest worry.
other survivors
Have you seen/read the walking dead? Other survivors the concern.
Head on over to the Winchester and wait for this all to blow over.
Total cost: couple of quid for a pint
Book a long, long transatlantic or transpacific cruise that is leaving today or tomorrow morning. Bring as much as I can carry and a life straw and bunch of filters.
Get gun, fishing rod and tackle, salt water filters, and those mre buckets bible thumpers are always selling on tv. Go to the marina and steal a keelboat. Dab on all the land lubbers still on shore.
Can I go with you?
Sure. I can always use more fishbait.
☠️
Hole up in Costco for two weeks or so.
The rotting corpses who only hunger for flesh are going to be eaten by animals and bugs. Because they don’t have regular ways to maintain water balance for muscles they will atrophy and become immobile. They will pretty much be a non threat while I have plenty of food and shelter to last me.
I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson explaining away zombies. Really took the immersion out of any zombie movies. Basically what you said, but more of it.
The power grid is usually one of the first things to go during a zombie apocalypse. Only the shelf stable food will be usable after a few days. That being said, there’s plenty of space in the warehouse to hole up.
My plan would be “go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over”
Hey, that’s the same plan I have for my next date.
Dogs can’t look up!
“Yeah boiiiiiii”
Supplies and boat on a large body of water.
Wait for real life to kill zombies. Or for them to rebuild society.
Buy a lot of toothpaste and toothbrushes.
And I would ask those hordes of zombie to brush their teeth before they try to bite me as I would not want to get sick and maybe contagious right before I’m eaten alive.Get some plants to fight them
Make sure to stock up on fungi for the nighttime, too.
Drugs.
Then suicide.
#1: Cardio
Can i get cardio in two days? This changes everything.
Lol. I’m screwed. My asthma makes any sort of cardio impossible after 5 minutes.
Yeah I recommend rolling the Too Swole To Control perk. Sounds like you refuse to do cardio. /s obvs
Probably procrastinate for 48hrs.
I’m going to assume the zombies are the result of a microbial/viral infection reanimating a cadaver. Those muscles aren’t going to stay functional for long, because the body is dead, systems have stopped etc.
I’ll just get enough water and canned food to survive a week. Just lock the doors and stay inside until the zombies outside stop moving.
I would go with 2-3 month, but after first one they shouldn’t be all that dangerous. Zombies don’t work unless they are of magical kind.
Probably kill myself
If you can’t beat the endless waves of undead may as well join them.
First put on the silliest outfit you can think of.
I mean yeah it would suck but why not at least run for the hills get a cutesy air bnb cabin and max out your credit cards on food and ammo?
A cabin in the woods when there’s zombies out there? You’d never sleep! I’d take my chances trying to find a compound.
I guess the better question is: why? To what end? Live out some doomer prepper fantasy? The world would be right fucked and you’d be out in the middle of nowhere by yourself which you could do right now without the zombies.
Good questions. I don’t understand why some people are absolutely determined to suffer as much as possible and “live” through the inevitable hellscape that would follow the collapse of society. Just face reality and end it quickly.
That’s a really good question. I know “zombie apocalypse” isn’t well defined, but it usually indicates a complete and total destruction of society. Even once the zombies are gone, there’s no civilization to return to. It’s not like a hurricane, where people start to rebuild.
Considering the post-post-apocalypse, I’m not sure it’s a world I would want to be part of.
I mean, you could try, but eventually someone will find you, probably arrest you, and tear down your home
