Heres my plan after resources all but dry up in my little section of the NO ZOMBIE ZONE. Down 2 side streets and around a corner or 3 there is a main road that leads directly to the port. Around the port is a long bank called the boulder bank ( 5km-7km Long). At one end of it is a massive channel that leads directly north towards other locations I will talk about later. To the north east are 2 open fields and a rural community ( 2km over water travel to reach ). To the east is the local port ( 1km inland about1km in length ). To the north west is another rural town but much further away and south of it ( 100 meters over water ) is a small island 3km in diameter.
Heres my plan. Pack up my survival crew, gardening equpiment weapons and enough food for a month and fuel. Drive down the side streets until we hit a road that goes directly to the port. The road that goes straight to the port is maybe 4km of industrialized area. Probably 100 houses 1 supermarket and 1 massive shop that dominate it. Wont expect much resistance if we travel fast and dont stop we could be at the port in 20 mins. Steal a boat, I work at the ports and I see boats justabandonedat the local jettys There will be boats there. Steal one that can get my survival crew to that boulder bank. Recently my work on the port I have noticed 2 or 3 odd objects on the boulder bank and have discovered they are houses. Thats where Im going. These houses are abandonded and have stood there for 200 years, against the weather and all other natural forces they have stood. Not many people know about them and there is enough room for 30 odd people. They are maintained by our Department of Conservation and a Historic Trust fund. I dont know how reliable it is, but they have stood out there through some of the roughest weather I have seen. If we reach the boulder bank we fortify those buildings to no end. At one end of the bank near the island is a lighthouse. Its 1km down from the houses and 100 meteres over water is the island. It over looks the road that looks onto the water, it can see to the other end of the bank and the beach 2km south. This is my outpost. From local tourist sites I have learnt there is a cabin at the bottom, then a stair well to the top level. Those stairs will be destroyed to a level where a sturdy ladder or 2 can reach. This will act as my fall back point, my scout home and my emergency station. Once this island is considerded completly safe we begin to start a small crop of vegetables in the centre of the island just south of us. It is a clearing for local tourists who go out there for lunch and picknicks and would be an ideal spot for growing anything as it is surrounded by clusters of trees. This crop we maintain to the best of our abilities it is our main crop and our main food supply when it is ready. IF we have enough for a second cultivation we go the fields north east, plant what we can spend a day or 2 working in the open. If a ghoul is spotted its straight back to the boat. If the field is cultivated we leave it. This is our 2nd crop. If it survives extra harvest, extra food, if not so be it we have our first crop ready and well maintened. I know to the north east also is a fishing spot where 2 types of local fish can be caught. On the port are mussels which we will farm as well. When we raid we raid the ports. Suprisingly I have seen alot of food stores there, food stores filled with foreign food that are often ignored by locals and arent known about. These will be what we raid. Water conversion devices are sold at stores along the routes to the direct port and wont be to hard to scavenge. As I work in freezer boats and wet fishing vessels I know where all the wet weather gear is stored, and cold weather gear is stored. This will help if and when we need it. I have thought carfully about choosing this place and believe it will serve well as the boulder bank is at some points no wider then a house and at others as wide as a bus. Its top level is 2meters above the normal high tide and the houses are half a meter above that. The highest flooding has come just above 1meter. The light house will provide a great lookout during the day time as it overlooks the main crop, the houses and the road that goes along the coast line and beach. As a better defence because the boulder bank used to be linked to the island south of it, a trench was delibetartly blown into the water. i.e they used explosives and created an artifical trench. The result was 2 massive currents that lead to a 3rd deeper trench that no ghoul will ever get out of. The first current connects from the north and is the main route out and into the port. This one sweeps in between the port, the north east land and pushes through the man made trench. This is the deepest and strongest current and basically a wall that shoves boats and anything else sailing in it e.g zombies from here they are pushed further out into sea and forgotten about. The 2nd current is one that flows from the north east and was man made from the trench. This one push around the island instead of going through the trench. Although it loses its strength when it breaks off at the trench it also pushes up against the rocks. ( The rocks being the reason the trench was created ) These 2 currents will keep most foul creatures from stumbling upon my shores but if any were to get onto the bank there are many ways to defend or at least notice an attack. For one most of the tide line and shore are made up of loose stones that sound hollow when ever they move... which is when ever you walk over them. That sound would safe us from the suprise attack. Secondly if nature cant destroy these shacks a luckless zombie or 3 isnt going to have a chance. The likely hood of more then 30 odd zombies hitting my shores isnt much but its still something we will have a night time scout for ( posted inside the shacks not the light house ) As if the bank isnt hard enough to reach, along the coast is a main road to the port and is followed by a footpath with a fence about 1.5meters of the ground. This fence has 2 designs: Stop idiots falling onto the rocks or water below, Stop cars from crashing into the rocks or water. If a zombie wants me hes going to have to work for it. I will begin to steal boats and have a third back up plan in case this goes to ****. On the island we either raid resources and build a strong fence around it, then fortify it and begin life. If the island and boulder bank are overun an emergency plan would to get into the trench current in boats and follow it 2-5km west then sail in land there is a 2nd island called Rabbits Island this is much larger and has alot more bush terrain and hills to survive in. This is our escape route.
I know I have missed out certain explanations that probably need explaining but its to much typing for me. If you see something wrong point it out. Dont let me get eaten. If Iv seen the mistake or havent explained it I will, if you save my life I wont forget it and there will be a spot on the banks for you.
