The day arives.  |
| |
|  You wake up one Tuesday morning for work, day like any other, get up, turn on the tv for background noise as your getting ready. On the news they are talking about some people being attacked around your city, or the nearest city near you, cops seemed a little busier then normal seemed some crazy homeless people had been found attacking people and cops had to stop them by shooting them. Oh well you think another day more crime. You dont pay that much attention though, getting ready for work is more important, so you miss that the attackers were biting people and some of the ones bit had gotten sick and had to be taken to the hospital. A few had died. Or so it seems, as you get in your car you hear the tale end of a news report before turning on your cd player. Something about one of the dead getting up and leaving the morgue but you still dont pay that much attention, rather hear music then more bad stuff on the news. Thinking the doctors must have made a mistake, hell it can happen. Hell happens all the damn time. You get to work, everyone is talking about Monday night football or the tv show that was on last night that is so popular. Half way thru the day one of your coworkers comes up to you laughing. Asks did you hear about what John was talking about? You laugh, say no what? John is the crazy sci fi geek, who is majorly into sci fi, horror, zombies, aliens, anime, and all that crazy stuff. Your coworker says that John is talking about how all these attacks and stuff arnt just random things the dead are rising and attacking, they are zombies. He's trying to warn everyone so they can protect their families. He then left work saying he was going to go home and barricade his house and get ready. You laugh and say guess he finally went crazy, hopefully he goes home stays there and doesnt come back and go postal. Your coworker walks away laughing. You go back to working. Later you go on a break and decide to go to the break room, where the tv is. People in there are watching the news thats on, which is a little weird, its not noon, the news is talking about how more attacks have happened, and the government is saying that it must be a virus but nothing to worry about everything is under control. But seems more attacks are happening, nothing specific is being said now though. End of the work day you go home, seeing some smoke off in the distance and some of the stores have more people then normal buying food and water, even boards and nails. You frown on your way home, when you get there your SO starts talking about all that has been going on, they seem worried, you start getting worried too. So the two of you sit down to watch the news. The usual channels all say the same thing, nothing to worry about the government has it all under control. But with that they are telling about attacks, that seem to be spreading more and more. More cities, and even smaller towns are talking about attacks now. You get up and go over and turn on the computer. You start doing research on your own, you find a few videos that have been posted by people that look real. They show people being attacked one of the attackers has an arm missing, another one looks like half his face has been chewed off. Another video shows some cops shooting several attackers and not going down until they are shot in the head. The person shooting the video tells you the only way to kill them and to make sure they are dead is to shoot them in the head. Specifically the brain. Your SO gets up and goes to where you keep your baseball bats or guns and gets stuff out. You look at them and say you cant uh actually think. They look at you and look at the computer and say cant really argue can we, just listen outside at all those sirens, and what you had both tried to ignore, the occasional gun shots. You sigh, get up and start helping them. You go to bed that night and are woken up once in awhile by squealing tires, sirens, and once awhile in the distance, screams and gun shots. The next day you wake up and realize your alarm didnt go off. You look over and realize the power is off for some reason. You check your watch and its 10:25 am. You get up to get the phone and walk past the window and look outside and stop and stare. Across the street is a man pounding on your neighbors door, but one arm is missing, you can tell even from there it was torn off, has several spots on his back that look like bite spots. Walking, shambling really, are several others slowly walking along, all of them have bites on them. You hear the squealing of tires and see a car race past your house and around the walking people. They all lift their arms and turn and moan and start heading that way. Oh my god you think, John was right. You call for your SO to come in, they come in and both of you stare outside. You look at each other and both of you see fear in the others eyes. You both head towards where the weapons are and grab them and then you go to check on your food supplies, fortunately you had just gone shopping that weekend so you have plenty of food, had even bought a case of water. As you are doing everything, you hear a scream. You both run to the window, you see about 20 people walking down the street towards you, in front of them running, well a limping run, her right leg seems to be hurt, is a young woman, from what you can tell maybe early 20's, she's wearing sweats and a sweat shirt, has some blood on the pants and as she is running she trips and falls, the man across the street turns sees her moans and heads her way, from the other side of the street about 10 more start heading towards her. The woman sees them and looks for where to run, she sees a low fence across the street and limps that way, but falls some more, the man from across the street gets close enough to grab at her, but she is able to evade him. But unfortunately the other creatures are getting closer, she gets up and starts running towards the fence, she starts climbing up, but her leg shoots out from under her and she falls to the ground. Again she tries climbing but she just cant make it, when she realizes it she turns around to run, but the creatures are there and attack her. You just cant look away, even with how horrible it is. They all fall down on her and start biting her, you can hear her screams until the suddenly turn into a gurgle. The creatures all turn around and move away, two keep walking into the fence and bouncing back and keep walking back into it. As you are both standing there watching suddenly the woman twitches a leg starts moving, and then an arm. Slowly she pushes herself up, and then falls, and then starts again. Slowly she gets up and turns around you see that half her face is chewed off, her nose is gone, her shoulders have bites on them. You can tell she is dead, but she slowly starts walking away. You look at each other and your SO says we have to get out of here. You nod, fortunately your car is in the garage. You could stay there for a little while, or load the car and leave, can also try to contact your neighbor across the street.
What do you do?

| |  if i have freaking zombie dreams tonight i am officially kicking your butt!! bad enough my bro went on and on about the holocaust and i dreamed i was in it for what seemed like the longest (and most boring) dream ever!!
now i would baracade myself in the house.. i would think with the ghetto i live in there would be enough people shooting them since everyone has guns that they would be pretty messed up by the time they get to me to buy some time.. and im at a dead end so there is literally one way out and chances are i wouldnt be able to get out if there was a crowd of zombies.. i would like try to secure the whole house but move all my supplies into the bathroom since that room has no windows.. i guess i would just make traps or something all the way back to the bathroom so if they did get inside thee first room they would still have to fight to get to the safe place.. i have enough food to last for awhile and i would just wait it out.. in a couple of days they hopefully would be torn up enough and hopefully the cops or who ever tries to save the world would have a plan in motion..
my house is up off the ground so even if they came in through the windows they would have to climb up the walls to reach them.. heck i think im in a pretty good spot actually.. woods, interstate, train, ghetto.. lol..
i never understand all these people in these movies that are convinced that some where else is safer.. its like hello the zombies havent even REACHED you yet and you are gonna fight through them all to get to some where else that you HOPE is safer..real smart.. not to mention they always walk right into them sigh

| |  I'm the type that has stuff in the basement to hole up for a while... so I would. If that's going on...it's wider spread then I can run from.
I would also go stock up as much as I could on everything for when power's out and foods scarce.
And Books, lots of books.
incinerating devices would be good too.

| |  WOW! Tense. LOL!
Ok, since this isn't really happening to me, at this moment, I have some questions.
Why don't they finish a "meal"?
Why just a few bites and then leave the body to reanimate?
Since I'm out in the country, we'd already be a bit safer from massive hords. There's just not as many people out here, not as crowded. We'd would be loading up the 4x4, with food, water, weapons and camping gear. There are several rock or masonry buildings in the closest small town. I'd say they would be sturdier and easier to defend, if needed. Also the school had built a new all concrete gym, that would be good location to meet with other survivors. The lower floor hasn't many windows and it could be blockaded and we could store stuff and sleep on the upper floor. Take turns at watch, etc. The roof is flat and could be outfitted for a lookout with weapons.
I prefer a place that's more off the beaten track, but I can't think of a remote stone building at this time. I bet my man would know of one, as this was his old stomping grounds when we were young.

| | So what happens when their food supply is exhausted?
Has that happened in one of your scenarios?
They are obviously of low intellect...a dead brain...right?
All instinct and not thought?
Do they "learn" from past mistakes?
CAN they learn from past mistakes? | | | |
| darkjedi (4347)

| | They would just wander around until they fell apart. In Day of the dead bub, one of the zombies, is able to learn a few things, and in Land of the dead one is a little smarter then the rest, not much though, so it probably depends. | | | |

For example: Al dente is far better than soggy and limp.
I don't suppose this matters to a zombie as they only eat flesh, right? What if you told them you were a vegetarian?

I sure as hell wouldnt want to play a game of ram n slam with my ford taurus lol. Give me a hummer and thats when I would play that. Hell about the only time I would ever drive a hummer is if this happened, or world war 3 or total collapse of the american government and economy lol. | | | |

| |  I found it hard to read - no paragraphs. So much for the critique. What I would do is to arm myself, you have to burn the zombies, so go to the nearest armory and get some flame throwers. Break in, this is an emergency. Once the brain and the flesh is removed, the zombies are helpless.
You could also take an ax and chop the zombies to pieces and burn the pieces separately and you will also need body armor to protect you.
Oh and I heard that zombies cannot take salt, so according to a show I used to watch, The Nightstalker - not the new one, the old one. In this, they put salt in the zombie's mouth and sewed it up with thread. There were also candles involved.
So this is what I would do.

Do you really want flaming dead creatures who feel no pain still coming after you setting others alight and other things? Salt? Salt might work on voodoo zombies but not these lol. Never heard that but voodoo zombies dont try to eat you so thats probably why. | | | |

| | Dang, D, you got some awful fast acting zombie virus going on there! Normally the movies allow for a bit of a waiting period before the meal starts walking!
I guess it is time to learn some survival techniques. We need to find some high-calorie portable food, so if we have problem finding more or foraging, we can make it last.
Outside of finding weapons, we also need to learn some arms making - bows, arrows, hopefully bullets and such eventually.
Hopefully we have a diesel vehicle, so if we can't find fuel we can run it off vegetable oil.
Other than that, we need to be careful, and make it day by day to survive.
I'm going to have to wait for the next Resident Evil movie to come out to figure out what else to do, LOL. | | | | | | |

Some people might go to the hospital, others just go home, while others would just start driving. Lets say it takes 6 hours from the time you are bit to dying and reanimating. You can drive pretty far in 6 hours before dying and crashing. Then some unsuspecting EMT or cop, or good samaritan trys to help you, gets bit, goes to the hospital. ETC ETC ETC | | | |
