So we can stroll away from them?
Until you trip and sprain your ankle. Then what will you do?
Fuck the Demarchists, I’ll tight beam my Conjoiner allies for support.
Scream alot and crawl your way upstairs. Works in horror movies 100% of the time.
The Batman soundtrack?
Throw it.
Dire Straits?
Throw it.
If you can’t beat 'em, join 'em!!!
Is what I’m thinking. You let them catch you, turn you into a zombie, then join the feast of the yummy brraaaaiiiiinnnnnsssss!
::drooool::
Actually, I think it works better not knowing all the specifics of the zombies. That’s what would really be the case in such a scenario.
What I would do:
1: Lock all the doors.
2: Kill any family members in the house that have already gotten zombified (Probably with a baseball bat. I might not survive this part).
3: Close all curtains and barricade the glass backdoor with some couches.
4: Move all food and supplies upstairs.
5: Use any furniture to block the stairway. I think some beds would work well for that.
6: Make a big “Help” sign and put it on the roof. I can get to the roof from a second-story window.
7: Hide inside and try not to give the zombies reason to think I’m inside (Closed curtains, no lights, etc. No one nearby visits regularly, so if they don’t see me, I should be ok.)
Assuming the zombie plague is on the mainland, I’d fly or raft to an island near Florida and hole up with the other survivors there. If I was gonna die, I’d find the hottest zombie and screw the brains out of her. Well, you know what I mean.
I’d set up some laser lights, a smoke machine, a very large cocktail bar, and start spinning a copy of ‘Kerkraft 400’ over and over. With any luck, the zombies will have no choice but to throw down and forget all about devouring my tasty brain.
I need to go home and take a picture for you guys.
I literally have an emergency “zombie attack” kit in my apartment.
Always be prepared.
I’d gather the food, clothing, water, weapons, and other supplies into my attic, along with the husband and cats. Pull up the attic door, cut a hole in the roof (it can get a wee bit warm in the middle of summer in that attic), and wait as long as possible. According to the World War Z website, I only have a 26% chance of survival anyway, so I suppose I’d just be awaiting the inevitable.
I’d find my local nuclear shelter, military base, or arrmory after arming myself. That’s where the citizenry will locate in an EBS zombie alert.
Ah, that makes things alot less hopeless. That makes it possible for civilization to eventually recover.
If they claw at a doorknob long enough eventually they’ll turn the knob and open it (unless it’s locked.)
I don’t know whether to think you’re crazy or consider you a kindred spirit. I’m constantly scouting out locations that would be safe in case of a zombie attack. I know of one great big church that’s built like an army base, but of course everyone would think of it and then the whole Lord of the Flies bullshit would begin…
If I heard about an attack right now, I’d do a little online research, gather up some friends and take a private jet to the closest tropical island (the fact that these particular zombies can’t cross water is key, though I’m not sure how I’d know that ahead of time. The zombies in the ocean thing in World War Z was real scary).
Time to find the instructions for building a flamethrower I found on the Internet…
I had a long post, that got eaten by the hamsters. To sum up:
- I have a basement in my apartment building that is just like the one in Night of the Living Dead. Board up the door a bit, and it’d be great.
- I don’t think the OP’s idea will work. You can bet a bunch of other people have gotten there before you and taken your boat. 30 minutes is too long.
What’s the penetrating power of the zombies’ claws? Can they cut through 3mm of rubber without directed effort?
If so, I head to the nearest dive shop and get a 3mm wet suit – and loads of water, those things are stifling on land.
Then find an armory or WalMart/Target with a weapons department. Shotguns, pistols, chainsaws, swords, compound bows, etc. Plus probably camping food and equipment for when we have to pull out. And clean underwear, too!
Then I’ll find a convoy heading off the mainland to a tropical refuge, and offer my weapons skills to the smartest-looking woman (as in, whoever’s carrying weapons without being overloaded AND without an “eww!” expression).
Where I live people are free to own guns. Honestly, if the people at large know what is happening, the slow zombie outbreak doesn’t seem to be all that scary to me. They’re like criminals, but slow and very stupid. You have to get a head shot, but is that so hard if you have some time and ammo? I have family with plenty of guns, and a house that is out of the way. We’d load up on supplies and ammo (maybe try to get some extra floodlights or night-vision goggles, or motion sensors), drive down there, and hole up.
If the zombies can’t shoot, what is the problem? The biggest thing I can imagine is other people trying to move into the house. Really, I haven’t watched an old-style zombie movie in quite some time, but it doesn’t seem like these zombies should be a great threat to a well-armed populace.
Buy a bunch of opaque bags to tie around zombies’ heads.
DONE!
