Last year my roomate gave me a book for my birthday, The Zombie Survival Guide
12 hours from bite to zombification = very pansy ass zombie infestation.
In fact, I’m not afraid of slow, stupid zombies at all. I’d join whatever band of zealous zombie killing militia would take me, and cruise around town blasting zombie heads off.
Now if we’re talking about smart, fast, 28 days later style rage zombies, I’d probably just hide and cry. Hide somewhere that has some food, if possible. But the crying is not optional.
These zombies seem so innefectual that most cities could just appoint some zombie controll officers and hand out a few shotguns.
I’m thinking you need to toughen or smarten up your zombies to make them a credible threat. Pretty much anyone who can lock a door is safe – if they’re too stupid to do that they may as well BE zombies.
Actually, it makes for one of the worst kinds of infestations. It gives people who are infected, but not yet turned, more than enough time to go somewhere else and spread the infection. It has the chance to go completely worldwide. That’s why the “zombies” (technically, just rage-infected people) from 28-days later never left Britain (or is it Great Britain? Whatever the name for the island that England, Wales, and Scotland are on is.) Rage infects and turns you within a minute, so there is very little chance that it could spread, since it would be easy for an airport/train/boat security person to see the infected and kill them/not let the train/boat/plane leave.
And all you who think you’d just go to the local Wal-Mart/K-Mart/gun store and stock up? Sorry, but unless you’re right next door to one, or somehow got your knowledge of the zombies before most other people would (ie, before it was on CNN/Foxnews or their websites,) then you would just face an unruley mob, all the guns and ammo already gone, and chances are even a zombie already in that mob infecting people left and right.
Your best bet is to load up as many supplies as you can on your personage, try to get a motorcycle or dirtbike, and head to as very rural place and hope for the best. If you have some guns, bring them along, if not, get whatever you can. A machete, baseball bat, whatever, and make your FIRST task avoiding the zombies, your second task doing whatever you can to get food/water. Don’t stand around and start shooting them just for fun, because before you know it your position will be overrun and you’ll be dead or turned. Don’t think you can “wait it out” at your house, unless you happen to already be in a rural are with lots of supplies.
The zombies may be slow and stupid, but they cannot have their moral broken, they have no fear, need very little sustenance (compared to you and I,) and will never waver in their “goal” of infecting everyone on the planet.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, here are just some of my credentials (I’m also the founding member of the “Anti-Zombie Patrol,” (we have our own t-shirts (though not the one pictured earlier, ours are just cheap CafePress ones that I made in 2002.))
I live in a basement apartment with… umm… inadequate security arrangements. For myself and my stuff, I don’t care - no one’s going to try stealing my stuff - there’s not enough there to justify the risk. (The windows all face a major road.)
But if we’re talking zombies looking for braaaaains? I’m fucked. No car. No weapons (except BO and pillows).
I guess I’ll be joining the zombie hordes. Braaaaaiins!
I’ll hole up in Ft. Ross. It’s out of the way, has sturdy walls, and a fresh water supply. Hopefully, that’ll help make up for the fact that, being in the heart of hippieland, it wouldn’t be super easy to get well armed in a hurry.
Did anyone hear the news this morning regarding the Zombies invading New York City? The didn’t mention it on the Stern show, but that doesn’t mean anything.
Anyone from New York care to comment? What’s going on there?
Is this the first Zombie[sup]2[/sup] thread?
Cause that’d be pretty cool.
Eeek! There really are zombies! runs to get baseball bat
Everybody knows you need a cricket bat.
Nothing … is … wrong … No … zombies … here … Come … visit … and … bring … your … braaaains
But I’m American!
