Author Topic: What if you found out that the zombie apocalypse had started?  (Read 3906 times)

We'll see who's right when you're being eaten by a horde of zombies or I've been killed by a firing squad for contributing to the pandemonium with my looting and small amounts of marauding.  Or we'll die of old age waiting for zombageddon.

They have to identify that the threat is zombies and not a bunch of college morons high on some hallucinogenic and trying to hurt people.  As said previously, a quick and decisive response will most likely come too late.  Most likely, the military hasn't got a Plan Z for when the undead start to eat people, or maybe they made one as a joke.  I personally don't feel that the military would deliver an informed, effective, decisive blow quickly enough to stop an outbreak worthy of being called an apocalypse from overrunning both the US and the world (Especially if the May Brooks version of a zombie, destroy the brain to kill it, is in place.), but that's just my opinion.

I didn't mean the virus in the water, I meant actual zombies kicking around in the underground and coming up and biting people (or creating a zombefied horde of sewer people).

That I will survive

I personally don't feel that the military would deliver an informed, effective, decisive blow quickly enough to stop an outbreak worthy of being called an apocalypse from overrunning both the US and the world (Especially if the May Brooks version of a zombie, destroy the brain to kill it, is in place.), but that's just my opinion.

Pretty sure we're not a country of damn commies.

wait in my house eating all the bread we have for a week or two until all of the idiot people are already zombies and watch all the zombies starve


If l4d or l4d2 type zombies, I'd head to California, get some nice sharp tools and weapons, loose some weight, and avoid most zombie contact, then I'd head to Canada where I'd live the rest of my days as a killing farmer guy.

I'd probably die in the process lol

Pretty sure we're not a country of damn commies.
And thank goodness for that.

I just think that we probably can't count on the government totally (Actually I think the military would flounder in the first week and if the government survives make a comeback in six months to a year if we're lucky.).  Whether the military would be able to handle it aptly and fully or not, it's still folly not to have some kind of backup plan for the scenario where the zombies overrun the military and anarchy ensues.

If it's a Max Brooks style zombie apocalypse, the US would fall apart.  The military focuses on firepower too much.  What you would need in that situation is accuracy.  

If it's a L4D type zombie invasion, I think the whole situation would be cleared up in a few weeks at most.  



Also, guys, I think we should make this more interresting. 
What would you do if the zombies couldn't starve to death? 

I'd take a few minutes to let the news sink in, ration together all the food in the house, store water in jars before the electricity cuts out and kiss my ass goodbye.

I don't have any survival experience, so I probably wouldn't last a while.


Live on a remote island.

Where, Barnes & Noble?

Most of those either don't work or are impractical for shooting hundreds of zombies.

Why would riot police want to kill survivors? That's shooting themselves in the foot.

Walmarts generally have thousands of sq feet, which is completely impractical. Plus, I wouldn't do drugs while protecting myself 24/7. weapons. Walmarts also have both drugs and weapons already.
Police could do that.

If I found out the zombie apocalypse has started the first thing I would most likely do would be to blog about it on the forums.

all of you would as well.
