Imagine if you see your MOTHER turn into a zombie.

Zombie apocalypse is probably the worst that could happen.

I... I just don't want it to happen.

(they aim for the head).
Outside every door of the shopping centre and a massive collection of them surrounding the area everyone lives/sleeps. 2 guards on watch every night and the roof as a getaway to play football etc.

Look, people, if we're going to do this thread, we need to set some "rules" for the zombies. We can't have some people posting strategies on the assumption that the zombies run when everyone else is talking about slow zombies.

Edit the original post to include the following text:

Here are the "rules" the zombies follow:
*If you are bitten, you WILL turn into a zombie (unless the bitten body part is removed within a minute) within 24 hours, sometimes less depending on how powerful your immune system is.

* The zombies can only be killed by taking out the brain, even decapitation won't work, the body would fall but the head would still be chomping away. The zombie must suffer some form of brain trauma.

* Zombies are slow (About a foot ever second, and extremely unintelligent.

* Reanimation can occur anywhere from minutes to hours after death by zombie bite, depending on the strength of one's immune system. Someone with AIDS will change in only a minute or so.

* Zombies will attack and try to feed on humans and other animals, such as horses. Animals do not appear to reanimate as zombies, judging by crows often depicted with the masses, that do not attack fresh flesh. However, they will always, without exception, attack a detected human first, even if the human is in a bank vault and the animal is tied to a pole right in front of the zombie.

* Zombies are slow, and lack the coordination to jump or climb. However, if enough zombies gather, the mass of zombies pulling each other down will form a makeshift "zombie-ramp" over which other zombies can climb.

* Zombies don't really need their organs other than their brains. They can survive severe damage and decomposition. This means that explosives are very ineffective weapons, as the goal of killin a person with explosives is the hope that vital organs, like the heart, lungs, and arms and legs, will be damaged, but since zombies don't need these body parts, they will still remain alive, even mobile if they have a relatively intact arm or leg.

* Though zombies consume the flesh of their victims, they can function without eating for prolonged periods of time.

* Zombies can survive being frozen solid.

* Zombies are attracted by sound. Gunshots or moaning will draw them.

*Zombie decomposition takes about 5-15 years, depending on heat and humidity.


Ash, dead people can't be brought back as zombies, because their circulatory system, no longer functions, and the disease/virus can't spread through their bodies. Also, for people who will say "Lol l4d zomehz run fst" They move as fast as extremely sick people.

If there was ever a zombie outbreak, I can guarantee you I'd make sure I was on the zombies side.

I'd play my lvl 73 Charizard and kick some arse.

I all seriousness I would live in a treehouse with a rope ladder that I could pull up so that I would be safe and then I'd go out looking for food each day whilst carrying a machete to carve through all the zombies that would be surrounding me and lop off any infected body parts.

Also, you guys. Seriously, zombies CAN walk around in the daytime. Give me an argument if you disagree with this.

Bullets are wasted pretty fast.
Better to die and join the winning side.
Face it, we'd have no choice.

Why did you feel fit to point something that obvious to me? I'm already aware of that fact.

Dammit. I thought for sure you said that zombies can bring dead people to life. My bad.

I'd get a few hundred people and go to the nearest shipyard. We could find a boat and simply live in the sea off of fish and boiled seawater. However, if we wanted to have fuel or other food every once in a while, we'd need to make landfall, which would be troublesome. Bringing a van or something on board would help with going and getting fuel and supplies.

Another way would be to go to a small farming town out in the country that had flat prairies for miles in every direction. We'd just exterminate the few hundred zombies in the town, and live on the farms. If any group of zombies found it's way to the town, we'd be able to see them from miles away and have hours of time to shoot them or, for variety, take one of the old pickups lying around for a spin and mash the zombies to a pulp. It'd be relatively easy to have a normal life again, as long as we had a small military of sorts who kept watch for any groups of zombies near the town.

The second one would be way better.
