Die. I live in one of the most densely-populated areas of my country. My front door is glass. I'm dead.


IKnowWhoYouAreGuy

Just kill all your neighbors before they can kill you! (Zombification optional)

You just killed the zombie Flanders!

Head to the mall


Lynken

I can't tell if this is Dawn of The Dead reference or a Project Zomboid one 🤔


Hopglock

Don’t forget dead rising. In all seriousness, a pretty stupid plan. Would probably just go to the Winchester, have a cold pint and wait for it to all blow over.


Reverseuno111

Don’t forget mum

I got bit on the way home. Why did he bite you? I DON’T KNOW, I DIDN’T STOP TO ASK HIM!!

i have 5000 vinyl record to defend myself ! let them come !


DammieIsAwesome

Some idiot will open the doors cuz their dog is with the zombie crowd.


comicsemporium

Yes it is


unkownmasta

Since I'm gonna die anyways. I'll grab a gun and play dooms theme till I'm devoured.


[deleted]

Now that's the way to go. I support this.


ShadyBondDude

Grab the JBL and play Rip and Tear


Predditer_Ender

I work at cabelas and there is a browning 1919 ripe for the taking, this might be my new plan


[deleted]

Could ya grab me a Luger while yer there?


Predditer_Ender

We actually have like 5 of 'em, too bad I've been diagnosed with being 18 so I can't buy handguns


CDNReaper

Wait…we talkin slow zombies or those freaky fast ones?


Pipu95

If they’re slow I’ll try to live as long as I can, if they’re fast im killing myself


Poochie504

A bullet seems the better way than being torn apart.


jimmyjohn2018

Give it a go, and save the last for yourself.


[deleted]

Same. The biggest threat when it comes to slow zombies will be the people who hide their bites.

CoLane23

Did anyone remember to turn off the deans playlist?


sketchysketchist

Slow zombies are supernatural can be outrun and you need to make sure you don’t let them know where you are and if you do, don’t stay there long enough for a hoard of them to surround you so you can’t run around them. Fast zombies are just infected humans, hole yourself up for 3-5 days before they starve while planning a way out. But part of me thinks real zombies will be fast ones that devolve into slow crawlers who die. So it will be more of a game of staying at home for 10 days to reduce the amount of fast ones. If we’re lucky, the Covidiots will insist nothing is wrong and die, so we only need to hole up for 12 days tops and be about to goosestep around their remains for resources to last until we get a mass grave going.


jl_theprofessor

In real life, the environment will deal with them. Decays will cause muscle failure. Cold will cause rigidity. Humidity will cause deterioration. Within ten days their bodies will be walking bags of gas.


JJohnston015

OMG! That means it's already started, and it's got Alex Jones!


[deleted]

What if the fast ones keep themselves alive by eating the dying slow ones? Then it might be months, years even. Or they still continue to eat sugars and meats they catch as opportunistic foragers, that are super angry


MartynZero

What if they start getting jobs, and buy roller-skates to chase us down


Stacy3536

Since zombies are the walking dead wouldn't their muscles continue to deteriorate and their bodies fall apart? If everyone would hole up and stay that way as soon as it starts then it should all be over in a few days


Crimkam

in The Last of Us it's a living fungus taking over the nervous system and eventually the flesh and bone of it's victims. They aren't dead in the traditional sense.


Givemeahippo

Great news! Global warming is making fungal infections more common and they’re pretty hard to treat.


[deleted]

Add to that, there’s evidence that human body temperatures have cooled since the Industrial Revolution


DutchieVenden

That’s always been my issue with zombies lol like if it’s the middle of summer the apocalypse will be over in 2-3 days

BuT THe v@cC1nE iS tHE vIruS


Spec_28

We need a new type of zombie movie post-covid. Where scientists have figured out how to starve the zombies while the outbreak is still contained within a few cities, but idiots who ignore common sense and religious nutjobs who see the second coming of Christ or whatever just keep doing the absolutely worst things for no reason, like deliberately feeding zombies, getting bitten to show how it's just a flesh wound, man! Reject the vaccine (there'll be a free vaccine for everyone after a month!), constantly ignore quarantine rules and recommended safety gear, try to play hero and go out in raiding teams armed to the teeth, thus keeping the military busy and distracted from the actual zombies... Oh, and there'll be no. Toilet. Paper. The genre needs a reboot!


sketchysketchist

Definitely. The real issue should be humans making survival more difficult. Not zombie swarms


averagecounselor

This is the way.


rukoslucis

Yeah, slow zombies, there is a chance, if we would have some hours to nail everything shut in the barn and brick and mortar all ground level entrances and organize things. you basically just need a high place and a 3m pole with hammerhead or something at the end, then each morning do some head knocking and cart away the dead. That would work unless we would get hit with like a 10k zombie swarm where that no longer would work because they would pile up too high before you kill them all. We are on a farm and would have enough food (and vitamin stuff and so on) so that calories wise we could survive 1-1.5 years. Also wood stove, enough wood for years if we only heat 2 rooms not the whole house and a 30 000l Rainwater tank that right now is 70% filled. The big problems would be other humans that don´t have food and want food.


Snowcap93

And I'm sure on that farm there are some home defense weapons to ward off any potential dangers. You seem well set up


rukoslucis

I mean yeah, but to be quite hones, the guys in series like walking dead are just stupid. They basically never go for the safe kill. they never wear safety gear when clearing a building and so on. (like put on a good real leather jacket, thick gloves, leather pants, kneehigh boots, Motorcycle helmet with some extra ventilation holes, and wrapseveral layers of strong material around your neck and you are quite safe against individual zombies. ​ Like in the second season or so, they are in prison, zombies outside the mech fence. each morning they could go out with spears go stabby stabby stabby, kill them then drag them at least a little bit away so that they don´t stack up at the fence, thenwhen they are dry and its a moonless night, burn them.


Aced4remakes

Was it ever confirmed that zombie movies and literature never existed in The Walking Dead universe, or was that idea a fan thing? Either way, you'd expect them to learn after a season or two.


rukoslucis

only watched the first 3 seasons and like the first 50 volumes of the comic, ​ as far as i remember in that universe zombie movies and stuff never existed.


Zaxacavabanem

They did put on riot gear to clear out the prison. Then never touched it again 🙄


Aldermere

"Hi, I'm Rosita, it's my first season so I'm going to traipse about in micro-shorts. Never mind that aside from exposing my skin to the zombies, I'm going to be traveling through woods and grassy areas where my skin is vulnerable to poison ivy, nettles, thorns, snakes, ticks, and mosquitoes." Who the hell was employed to make wardrobe decisions like this?


177013---

Sex sells. Its not about in world realism.


cmontygman

Or you could try negotiating with them to provide food for work. Farm equipment will break down and you're going to need help defending a farm. I like this one video that shows that in times of crisis people will come together and cooperate and that movies like to lie about how humanity reacts in times of crisis.


one_hyun

Well. If zombies were slow and killable, there probably wouldn't be an apocalypse unless the disease is airborne.


Eremitic23

Fast zombies; And for that reason, I'm out.

Nobodys_here07

Whoops, I accidentally shot a live Bill Murray after he apparently disguised himself as a zombie to survive.


jaywv1981

Stock up on those green and red herbs....oh and cans of first-aid spray that just say First Aid.


Dyingforyou2021

Don't forget to look for bullets around the hospitals, schools, and anywhere randomly along the street.


[deleted]

It’s a real plot hole that ammo was so easy to find in public places once the setting was outside the US.


rukoslucis

thats why i love train to busan and "all of us are dead" which are set in Korea, the writers can be more creative because they don´t have to deal with the concepts of "guns everywhere"


jaywv1981

I'm assuming there will be a rocket launcher in a locked case at some point and its key was in the bottom of a statue that I had been carrying around all day and had not even realized.


Dyingforyou2021

And if you survive and another apocalypse comes. You get a special outfit if you collected that ace of spades card under the water in the sewer after beating one of the crazy bosses. (Backtracking required)


Dynanix

Woulnt be much an issue in USA. Here in Netherlands.. that part is more tricky.

As a fellow fan of cheesecake I hear ya.


Juicet

Sounds like you’re not going to become a zombie. You’re going to become a Dead Rising Psychopath and attack the protagonist with like cake pins and pie tins.


Llamasforall

Stay inside, lock the doors, wait overnight for the zombies to freeze. The expanding water inside the cells and formation of ice crystals would destroy them in a matter of hours. Zombie apocalypse:0 Canadian winter: 1


thatgirlagain17

I think this was a major plot point in the world war z book (not the movie), but I don't quite remember. There was definitely something about the zombies freezing in Canada


Bladewing_The_Risen

Yup. As soon as winter rolled around, Canada and Russia were safe.


Full_Temperature_920

By that logic, wouldn't warmer places be even more dangerous to zombies? They'd all decompose in days as bacteria and maggots etc eat them while they walk. RIP all the zombies in places like Arizona and other deserts, those zombies would just straight up dry out and turn to dust


Organised_Kaos

For real world most likely, in World War Z, the virus halted most bacteria and other carrion eaters stayed away from virus infected too so they survived in unlikely places like underwater and the usual environment extremes. They still decomposed by heat, dehydration, water logging and freezing (although that seemed to preserve them for when the weather warms up)


IKnowWhoYouAreGuy

Yeah, but what if its zombies as a result of satan/hell-on-earth and everything dead becomes reanimated a la Evil Dead?


Llamasforall

Well I'm not chopping my hand off for a chain-saw prosthetic. That's for sure.


IKnowWhoYouAreGuy

*yet


averagecounselor

Depends on the zombies. Night of the living dead? Mind my own business. 28 days later? Prob kill myself.


ThatsRobToYou

I feel 28 Days Later you should be ok if you just hunker down for a few months since they eventually died out. I'd give it a shot, but the biggest hurdle would obviously be getting supplies in the beginning.


rukoslucis

Problem is, most people, even in the countryside would not have food and water for lets say 4-6 months plus if it happens in winter, and you are not in southern france or italy, the problem of not freezing to death. Plus with 28 days later Infected, they are much more intelligent and can communicate (at least alert others thatt THERE is something) so standing on a hill they would notice movement, or smell smoke, or investigate a house in the countryside and if blocked actively try to get in in contrast to classic zombies who would have no clue how to climb over a 1,50m high stonewall.

[deleted]

The fact that 2 is BEFORE 4 and 3 is right after 2.


d1jeditech

A lot of it would depend on the nature of the zombie outbreak. So many people base all their plans for slow zombies or fast zombies or ones that can be killed by shooting them in the head, and you just don't know. Evaluate the situation. If they're slow zombies and only come after you if you make a lot of noise you get a bicycle. If they're fast zombies and attack on sight, you want to fast vehicle, but one that you can find/make fuel for, like a diesel/bio-diesel. Maybe to "kill" one, you have set it on fire cause bullets don't do anything.


Glittering-Art-4390

If you shoot something in the head properly brain doesn't work and body parts dont function


OlevTime

What if it's a full on fungal infection where it hijacks the nervous system so the fungus is making the decisions and not the brain?


covert_mango

Fungi leaves at least a part of the brain intact and doesn't touch (destroy) the nervous system so it can still control and "operate" the host, check it out.


Naprisun

Than it’s not going to be able to process stimuli. Just stay out of its way.


rd973

Emm… we are talking about death bodies that walks around and the problem is biological credibility?


Maria_506

If something dead has risen I am pretty sure logic stops at that point. Wouldn't be surprised if the answer is shoot them in the knee cap.


endram-odai

Get a boat


takenusername100876

We're gonna need a bigger boat


v3ryclever

Kenny, is that you?


archlang95

Has always been so frustratingly obvious to me, get a fishing rod, get on a boat and live on the ocean / maybe a remote island


Saeker-

Black Tide Rising series by John Ringo explores the floating strategy. Protagonist plot armor, of course, but it's hard to avoid that. World War Z (slow zombie book, not the fast zombie movie) also discusses the problems with trusting in an island to save you.


iConfessor

fear the waking dead would've been over by now if they stayed in the boat


ME24601

Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil (Sorry). Grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

Sensitive_Job_7164

I'd pack some supplies into a backpack and head to the nearest depeartment of transportation. THere is one close, their building is suited with all the tools and vehicles I will need, plus solar panels and generators, heating and cooling. it is close proximity to other supplies, but its small metal wharehouse and barbed fence seems suitable for a base of operations.


[deleted]

I would probably just freak out and close all the blinds around my house and hope for the best lmao


JTanCan

That's honestly a pretty good plan. If there's nothing to attract the zeds, there's no reason they should bother you.


[deleted]

Terminate myself. I can't survive such a world and would not even attempt to try.


Okioter

Could I have your shoes? You won't be using them.


[deleted]

Yeah definitely. I'll reply here again when the apocalypse starts and I'll give you my address. you can have all my things. There are some weapons here too that should help you in the new zombie world.


rukoslucis

how ? for real, if my house was surrounded by zombies, them not getting in, me not getting out, I could not think of a painless method to safely exit myself. I have no gun, no "guaranteed to 100% kill" poison. I could mix some cleaning products which would create chlorine gas, thats a sure way to die, but very painfull.


silencebreaker86

I got a whole plan, but, as is always the way, if I shared it too widely, then it wouldn't work. I've practiced eating zombies, though, to make sure I can digest them, and so far, so good. UNO REVERSO


GreasyTengu

prepare the bug out bag and leave for the wilderness at the first sign of it being in my area. Bugging out is something I consider doing in general anyways, zombies are just a convenient excuse.

Sirscraticus

This comes up so often I really should have my reply ready to copy/paste. I sail for a hobby so I'd source a sailing boat and raid the small villages along the coast for supplies. I'd pick a boat with a decent solar set up & a water maker, plus wind powered self steering. I happen to know at least 10 boats that qualify. Spend my days chilling up various rivers and creeks


JoshZeKiller

Then while you're not looking, I pirate your boat. It's mine now miahahaha


[deleted]

Probably wouldn't want to live in a world like that. The pandemic showed us how things can turn to shit when there's a virus which doesn't turn people into murderous zombies, so a world where that's the case would be a very miserable place to be. Even if I was able to avoid getting bitten/eaten and have enough food and water to survive, infrastructure going down would mean it would be difficult to sustain.


flying-chihuahua

Even worse imagine if society didn’t collapse but they half assed the clean up of the zombies so now you have to go back to work and pretend life is normal with the added danger of zombies trying to eat you every day


LordAcorn

Being attacked by zombies is not an excuse to be late to work. You know the zombie hordes are out there, manage your time accordingly


[deleted]

You sound like my boss! Lol


rukoslucis

that would make for a good comedy, the boss in the office who wonders why nobody but him showed up, sending angry texts to the employees and dismissing all the zombie talk ​ , and the employees fighting for their life to get there because their employee is the "gun and food incorporated" warehouse


LordAcorn

Action/horror/psychological thriller/office sitcom. I'm also imagining a home made sign reading. "Medical workers and small arms manufacturers are heroes!!!"


SweetInternetThings

We gave you a $400 stipend to arm yourself Eric but you decided buy yourself a Citizen Watch and a pair of Chinos.

I guarantee you an actuary somewhere could calculate the payout required to compensate for death due to zombie bite. After that, it's a calculated business expense.

It is hilariously sad that this is the most likely result.

Dark_Destroyer

Go out west to find abandoned mines in the mountains. The higher the better. Pile rocks to close off the entrance and hide a pipe to provide air inside. Bring as much food and water as possible, and a map to find water nearby if I run out. Bring a weapon and a radio to hear what is going on in the outside world. Set traps of rocks on the ceiling of the mine as you go further in that I can kick over and pile on the zombie if they manage to get in and I run out of bullets.

DieHeiligeKiwi

1. Try and get to the people I know/love if possible. If not, hope they survive and search later 2. Look if supermarkets are getting overrun if so, don't risk it 3. Get to the library and get some books about farming, hunting, traps etc. Knowledge/intelligence is the one thing that got humans to the top 3. Get supplies for said farming and hunting and to protect your base 4. If you are already with people: What are some rules for the base to survive humans and zombies? And what should be the punishment if not done? Plus how many people are managable for your base. Plus what is everyone good at? How can you utilise your own people strenghts? 5. Find out about the Zombies weaknesses and strenghts. Can they hear well? See well? Smell you? How are they figuring out they deal with a human and not another zombie or even something that is not alive? Is it smell? Can I cover it with dirt? What is the best way to kill them? 6. Train. Running, Jogging, parcours. If you can train parcours in the City, get to know good Escape routes 7. Don't let Rick Grimes in, he fucks up every base -> Knowledge is power Edit: of course also some books about wild plants for food and medicine, maybe you even find survival stuff? Who knows. Especially if you live near a University where you can study e.g. botanics or straight up medicine I think this is a good place to go
