What surprises me is that no one thought about this, you can always fish in the ocean and sail away to safe place, here is one. Go live on an oil rig, they have constant power, and have ways to get water.
I hae a question, What the forget would you use a laptop for?The internet would be down, and if it wasn't you wouldn't really have anything to talk to/play wth/do.
I don't think that power loss would lead to the internet crashing.
No power = No internet
Actually most internet data centers/exchanges have backup generators that can keep them running for a couple days, and possibly longer if they can get more fuel.
a real zombie will go toward food they see.a "dead' person under basic non-influence wouldnt be distinguishing sounds and smells.you wouldnt be able to lure them by anything other then yourself.
