The answer to this is diffrent for every person you talk to. What would you do?? Lock your self in your house? Or maybe go to a remote island. Who would you try to save and where would you go?

I personally would go to a Wal Mart. They have guns, paintball equiptment and food, clothing and the place is huge! You can protect yourself with the guns, the paintball and electronics are for entertainment, and you still have food and clothes for a long time. Everything you need in one place. You could also have alot of people in there with you. This would work for old school slow zombies and the newer fast ones. Wal Mart is the answer.

I've given a lot of thought to this question, but I've never really let myself come up with an answer. I guess if I saw it coming I'd create a strong hold. My best friend and I talked about it once, and we decided we could probably secure the apartments where I live. I'm not so sure about that now.

If I didn't see it coming I'd try to stay mobile until I found a good place with strong walls and doors. I've been advised that I should always have a pack ready with a change of clothes, some water, a couple days worth of food, a gun, and plenty of ammo. I guess I better get on that.

I would find an old storm cellar, and hide. I cannot imagine anything so frightening as that happening. The undead.

Log onto UM immediately, the world's leading resource for zombie help & information!

i would be out in the mountains

The one time i would wish my town to be stocked with gun stores.


This answer would be pretty much opposite for Americans compared to the UK or Canada etc, because of guns.

In canada, a firearm would be next to impossible to get, especially in a crisis situation. So you have to put a little more thought into how you would survive. Also, my answer would be greatly changed from where i am when the outbreak started, and the nature of the outbreak.

Let's say for argument sake i am at home when the outbreak occurs, with my girlfriend.

Class One Outbreak:
A class one outbreak would be a small group of ghouls in your city in the surrounding area. My home is on the 12th floor of an apartment building. I would secure the floor, bolt the door and lay low until the authorities dispatch the threat.

Class Two Outbreak:
A class two would be about 300-800 zombies roaming the streets of a city, the number growing as more people are infected, or falling as zombies are destroyed.
Again, i would secure my area and sit tight, but first i would gather enough supplies to last out a good week.
I would make contact with everyone in my building and ask them to stay put or leave, and then run to the grocery store around the block for food and medical equipment with my girlfriend, getting as much as i can. And finally, i would destroy the stairs leading up to the 12th floor to prevent any ghouls getting up, and keep a supply of big knives and blunt objects on hand.

Then of course, there is the class three outbreak:
The entire city is infected.
You have to get out of the cities immediately. Armed with whatever knives/blunt objects we could find, and large packs, we'd store up bottles of water, non perishable foods, medical supplies and fire-creating equipment. Then, we would treck for about half an hour to the hardware store, to stock up even more with real weapons. Hactchets and axes and baseball bats. Finally, we would trek out of the city, preferably putting rivers between us and the outbreak. We'd head for high ground and secure ourselves a cottage or something in the mountains, and wait to hear news.

The only way to survive a class four outbreak would be to get in a boat and live on the ocean.

I'd find the nearest peir or off shore platform and take as much supples onto it as me and my crew could carry. Then we'd destroy the entrance and burn it to the ground (controlled, of course), living out at sea.

I'd also find my copy of 'The zombie survival guide' and phone Burnside

There's been enough thought on this kind of outbreak to merit classifiying them? Dang, I'm never coming out of the cellar now!

Water seems to be a defense against them then, a bit like vampires?

YEAH!!

Naw, it's just that they can't swim. They can of course walk along the bottom I guess. I only think that might be true, becuase I read it in a script somewhere. Not saying where cause it's kind of a spoiler.

I would just find out how to get to Burnsides place so we could be zombie nerds together haha!

after doing a pit-stop in Pittsburgh of course...

Are we talking the Zombies that walk slow or the faster moving ones like in the new movies??

I'd stock up on kerosene and torches. Then at night fall I'd get all my friends together and we'd play the; "Run and torch the walking dead", game on a points basis. Winner get's a case of beer to wash down all that smoke and char!


25 points - Per crispy critter,

50 points - If critter stay's alive for awhile as entertaining flamers

and major 100 point bonus - If they collide with an unlit corpse and pass on the igniter fluids!

I'd try to burn them but saying that I dont think it would really work..? I just remembered what happened in the "Return of the Living Dead"..?

I love the classic; "Night of the living dead", and I actually rented the " Return of the Living Dead" DVD, but it was so bad, imho, I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes.

Y, what did flaming them do?

Nice little game to play there. Have to stay entertained while theres zombies around. WalMart is still the answer though.

It sent all the Toxic Zombie fumes up into the clouds then it started to rain where upon anyone caught in this rain would become infected and turn into a brain sucking zombie..? I do believe this film was awarded several BAFTA awards...!
NOT!!!

NoT! Hahahaha!

Ewwww! And we thought the potential of acid rain was bad!

GoddessWhispers, your avitar disturbs me very much. Zombie rain? Hmm, thats a little odd. No one burn the zombies then. I like the rain how it is.

Hey, it wasn't me! Blame Hollyweirdness and that sequel thingy that Dunderhead mentioned!

your avatar is 2 guys kissing and its disturbing.

Oh, well that was not it's intention , I assure you!

Whats the intention then?

I'd go to the army base, get a tank, and run them zombies over! They have a shopping center, food, guard towers, secure the base, and entertainment! Even Guns. But way before that, i'd gather all my friends and family, and THEN go to the army base. A.S.A.P.

Please don't jack the thread, AffinityForEvil

If you care to take issue with my Avatar, given your choice of; screen name, Charasmatic Jesus Avatar and the signature , "Only I can save You Now" (And which, some would take issue as to it's being blasphemous!) please feel free to contact me PM.

Thank you.

*cue handbrake turn back onto topic*

Seems to me that zombies aren't the sharpest kives in the rack, being the living dead & all, so couldn't we hole up and pick 'em off in a kind of guerilla campaign, even if they take over the city? Intelligence wouldn't seem to be their strong point...

Thats very true. If every one worked together we could do that. Every one would go diffrent places and be hard to find. Also many would be to scared to fight at all.

Well, since burning them might cause the living dead problem to escalate, given the aforementioned rainy day blues. (*I see dead people!*), how about spraying them with acid? Maybe re-engineer those sprayers lawn services use, to withstand to the corrosive nature of the acid in question, and spray them!?

Or, perhaps arm up with machetes and cut their heads off? I seem to remember separating heads from bodies on monsters , is quite effective.

Then there's always good old electricity!
If you can't flame them, use voltage!

Ok, can you tell it's a slow day @ the office!?

Ok heres a point of view, with all these masses of zombies decapitated and rotting in the streets what would we do to prevent outbreaks of the plague, dengue fever, and other nasty viruses that would develop and contaminate our water catchments, all well enough surviving this outbreak of zombies I would be more worried about the after effects, what if the zombie virus mutates to its surroundings then becomes airborne spreading with the wind???

That would suck. There should be a movie that thinks that much ( Also one that says where the zombies come from). Rotting zombies in the water might not be diffrent than a rotting person, but the whole air born thing. Never thought of that.

Oh sure, go ahead and take it to another level!

Hmmm lemme tink....according to the guide for biohazard waste management, there are a number of options. One being cryogenics. I.E. store the parts and freeze the dead dead!(formerly, " living dead")

Of course that would make for a whole other animal; namely, Zombiecicles!

Those might taste good, but may infect you also.

I would get a gun and go all out!

Zombiecicles!
OMG then a simple flame thrower will eradicate this problem either that or the midday summer sun...

Just eat the zombiecicles. They may taste good. You never know till you try.

Ewwwwwwwww! Can you see the face on that Good Humor ice cream truck driver when they get that inventory to drive around!?


And I thought we had nixed the notion of flamer zombies, because of the infection potential.

Oh, how about smashing them flat? Oh sure, there would be a serious mess afterward; "mop aisle four, mop on aisle four please!" , but still.

First thing I would do, would come here and curse Burnside out for believing so much in them that they became real!

That would work, lots of blood every where.

I don't believe in zombies, i just think they're neat.

It might be worth climbing out of the cellar to go play at Goddess's house!

yes, fun stuff there.

Find my friends if they are still living and put use to my swords. I'd also steal guns and ammo...

Walmart? have you people seen 'dawn of the dead'???? i don't fancy clearing all of those zombies out of there. Army base would be a good idea, but everyone would think of that and the soldiers would probably start firing at people to stop them getting in because of risk of infection. Personally I'd get my ass on a big cruise ship with as much canned food as i could carry and try and find myself a nice spot somewhere in the mediterranean

Sounds good. Lots of room for alot of people too.

ZOMBIES EHH? hrmm, what would i do...i have always wondered.... zombies in movies arent all that bright right..they are dead for goodness sakes..so could you get on your old halloween costums of either a zombie or dead person and carouse with them,, and pretend to be a zombie?

Well it worked in that movie, "Shaun of the Dead."


But I really think they would be able to sniff the difference. You know; dead and all that. Rot, putrification, and general stinkyness being what it is.

but could you put ammonia or that rotten egg smell allover you and just keep saying "brains brains ,, need brains"
lol

Ill be looking for people in the street trying that. Ill also watch them get eaten then. It will entertain me slightly
