Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?Buy a machete and a hatchet, find the biggest crowd of zombies I can, yell "All-right chumps, times up, let's do this! LEEEEERRROOOOYYY JEEEEEEEEENKIIINS!" and charge them.

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?Depends on the zombie.(Original post by Mess.)
Zombies blood being infectious, wouldn't a baseball bat result in you with zombie juice all over you? Any tiny opening like your eyes, mouth, nostrils or a scratch lead to you becoming a very weird looking zombie
Quite a lot of modern zombies work via some virus or plague that can be spread by a minimal amount of contact.
More traditional zombies only transmit after a bite or in some cases, a scratch. -

Why the pharmacy? Usually in all zombie related films, the virus is non-treatable once it is inside the body so that would make medical supplies redundant unless you anticipate a fight with another surviving group?
And would be handy to have if other groups were hostile towards us and we get injured.

I would probably try to find out what kind of food would make me taste horrible plus cover myself in dung so that I will be the exact opposite of a delightful snack for the average zombie. This way I could make it safely to one of the unpopulated scottish Islands where I could finally realize my dream of creating a one man country called "Bacon with fried eggs"

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?I didn't get the book with it(Original post by tasha96)
Yeah. It even has blank pages for you to add your own tips in the event of a zombie Apocalypse!
Although the book that goes with it did scare me. It was so real.
Should be interesting to see how they do making the film but I have a feeling that it isn't going to be as good as the book was.

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?That's a good shout actually! Give me the fudge brownie though(Original post by Vixen47)
Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough of course! A zombie apocalypse is the one time all comfort foods will be needed. I can't wait!

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
I'm sad to say I can't tell anyone what my plan is as its super top secret. But I will say I cannot travel in a large group there's always someone who will screwed stuff up. Hero's die! Just take care of yourself and someone close to you. Minimal screws ups saves lives. Don't stay in the city, go to the countryside for a while then venture back to the city as the zombies will die out after some time.

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
I think any tower style defence is doomed to failure, although a castle is almost tailor-made for zombie-defence.
I would head for the hills and use camoflague and melee weapons to hide from zombies and silently reduce the concentration in the area surrounding my hideout. I'll have water storage units, a bike and fuel at the hideout (currency). Also nick a shotgun.
Has the nice benefit of allowing you to slip through any army-eradication attempts. Don't want to be in buildings when the USAF carpet bombs every structure in the UK

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?Yah problem with that I found is.(Original post by ritchie888)
They also didn't build the barricade well enough. FOOLS!
Anywho, I've always thought breaking into a supermarket and living there would be an exceptional idea.
All the food you could ever want, along with utilities, lighting, entertainment, weapons (knifes and toasters, we're not stupid enough to sell firearms in our supermarkets yet). You have nice long corridors to see zombies coming from a mile away. Plus most supermarkets have shutters and barriers when they're close to stop from shoplifters/zombies.
Other people have the same idea. -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
NOTE TO ALL THOSE THINKING OF LOOTING SUPERMARKETS IS A VIABLE SOLUTION:
1) Suppose this government is the reason behind this zombie virus. you think they wouldn't think of infecting the supermarket stocks with the virus?
2) Even if this wasnt a government plot (highly unlikely to not be a government plot), then there's bound to be someone in the shop who has the virus?
And would be handy to have if other groups were hostile towards us and we get injured.
