If the Zombie apocalypse happened what would you do?

Asked by Triiiple (1356points) February 25th, 2009

Where would you go? What would be your weapon of choice?

Id run to the 3rd floor of my apartment complex, grab my friends, run to a gun store then drive down to Miami. I could go into way more, but wanted to see if people think about this as much as i do.

You’re not the only one who has thought about this. I’d love to have a shotgun handy, but since I don’t, I’ll have to settle for a baseball bat. I’d definitely go outside and bash some zombies’ brains in before the streets get too crowded with zombies. Then I suppose I would hoard some food, lock myself up somewhere, and, uhhh, wait for my inevitable demise?

Wow, man. I have a newfound understanding of this concept that is really deep, and I’m not even high. The zombies are a metaphor for society, man. It’s about mind control.

I would probably start screaming like a girl and run barefoot through a dark forest and trip and fall down hard on my knee or twist my ankle and then manage to slip away just as one of them was about to grab my foot and limp away as fast as I could while screaming some more until they all cornered me and then let out one last really loud scream as as everything faded to black.

I would summon my unicorn and ride it to candy mountain. It’s a zombie free zone.

@loser Will there be a sequel?

My basement has chest height windows like a bunker, perfect for defending zombie attacks, and is located on high ground with a good view all the way around.

@TenaciousDenny Of course there will be a sequel! Only that same scene would take place in the middle of a desert and I would fall on a cactus.

Is this meme a recursive zombie?

I would find a train that had a really long track. Then just ride fast from one end to the next over and over. The only time you’d have to fight the zombies off would be to refuel or get supplies(food,ammo,birth control).

I would leave the Ohio valley and head to the Rockies. I’d carry a carry a sturdy, blunt instrument (for zombies) and a small firearm (for emergencies). Maybe a hunting rifle, but that’s a big maybe. I’d prefer to avoid firearms as much as possible (since the sound would probably just draw more zombies or other people). Other than that, I’d take whatever supplies I could carry on my back. Once I got closer to the mountains I’d need to scavenge for equipment, but it sure as hell bets staying in an infested metropolis.

this seems to be a frequent question lately
is there talk of a zombie revolution i’m unaware of?
i better start making some plans. i’d like to buy that zombie survival book to brush up on my apocalypse safety skills, but i think we’re underestimating zombies a bit – i’m sure they know how to read/use the internet. they probably already know our plans.

also, may i recommend the song zombies ate my neighbors by single file, christmas nights of zombies by mxpx, and astro zombies by the misfits for the soundtrack? i’m thinking kind of scooby doo style, where everything stops so the daphne of the group can go turn on the boombox. (the soundtrack is, of course, an integral part of any apocalypse)

Somehow I’d get myself to the Mall of America and hang out there.

I would hole up in a Wal-Mart. Board up the doors and and stack all kinds of heavy shit in front of them plus put propane tanks near them so I can shoot them and blow them up. I would be stocked with food choc full of preservatives, guns, camping gear, and entertainment. Possibly rig up some surveillance and traps. Then I would have some friends with me who I would inevitably have to kill when they get bitten. I would also trip them in case I had to run to divert the zombies from eating me cause I’m not very fast.

MrMeltedCrayon's avatar

Propane tanks? So you can blow up your fortifications? Terrible idea. The minute a zombie pops an arm through your barricade someone could panic and blow everything to hell as opposed to, you know, just repairing the damage done.

Triiiple's avatar

Walmart wouldnt be a bad idea either. I thought about going to a big store like that, setting up gas tanks for fire and make sure im camped by the exit. Have traps set up and what not and hoard all the ammo/shot guns/rifles and food i could.

Mamradpivo's avatar

After reading World War Z (totally recommended), I think I would head for the mountains and find myself an easily defensible high spot, not make any noise, and practice piercing brains.

The out to sea idea doesn’t appeal to me since zombies don’t need to breathe and could totally be in the ocean.

Triiiple's avatar

@Mamradpivo i thought about that too, which seems like a pretty good place to go as well but what would you do? live in a cave? hunt for food? what about when the rest of the world is dead and people start roaming as groups of bandits? The Zombie Survival Guide said though a mountain hideaway would be ideal, people are definitely going to go into survival mode and steal/kill whatever they can from whoever.

I will roll around in a tank which will give me the ability to roll thru walmart or any store and restock.

Triiiple's avatar

@DragonFace where you gonna get the tank?

DragonFace's avatar

At Walmart! They have everything MMMUUUAHHAHAHHAHHAHAA

Take a bow and arrow, and shoot those motherf***ers and then save the world! Or at least what I can…
