Scenario 1 |
Version 25 - view current page
Let's start out with something very easy for our first one. I will set the conditions you give us feed back at the bottom of the page :).
Location
You are in a 1 story home without any barricades in a moderately suburban area, slightly urban but enough people to cause a problem. You can head north to some mountains. To south of you is the city. To the east there is the ocean with a marina. To the west there is flat farmland. The city has all the normal accommodations, a convenience store/mall all the normal city things. The mountains are slightly hospitable able to grow food but have harsh winters. The farmlands are very fertile yet out in the open and easily reachable.
Level of Outbreak
Its around a level 2, you slept through the initial stages overnight and there beginning to be quite a few infected in your area. It should be stage three in four days.
Equipment
You only have what you can grab on your way out. A small handgun possibly a 9mm or snub nose or something to that effect. A small box of shells. your house is accommodated with all of the usually household items. Nothing fancy the things a normal middle class person would have.
There you guys go I look forward to your ideas. The goal is to get to a safe place and hold out until either the duration of the attack or until military help arrives.

I wouldn't head up to the mountains considering every refugee would probably go their. I would attempt to make a stand in my house. first i would go to the nerest store and steal as many supllies ammo ect. as I could. I would then look for salvageble wepons at the nearest gun store and mabey even the mall. then i would race home and build the best barracade i could only letting close friends and family in then wait it out. I wouldn't have to worry to much about the living crazy people that would kill for supplies because most likely they have left the suburbs in search for help.
Head out to the mountains. I would grab the handgun (the one that was available), backpack, canned food, water bottles, any construction tools available, and flashlight/radio/battery items. I would then go to the gun store if there was one, then the convenience store for further canned and non-perishable goods. Then I would go up to the mountains, as far up as possible (where housing was located: The highest house that can effectively hold plenty of people), as a cold climate is not a concern (I live in one anyways). After reinforcing and barricading this cabin, I would concentrate on surrounding houses, clearing them out early to prevent zombie buildup. When further survivors come, we would continue barricading relieved housing and then moving on to clear out further housing in the mountians. Not only will this prevent zombie buildup in a particular area, you will be well enough out of the way to prevent zombies from congregating. This also allows you to build a defendable and hospitable community for further survivors (making sure that none are bitten). Then you simply wait until the zombies decompose.
-DEATHVALLEY55
I would want to head north to the mountains. As I headed out I would grab my pack throw the said ammo into it and grab a box and throw some food and water into it. 15 minutes later I would be making one last stop at my garage to throw the box and bag in my pick-up whilst snagging the chainsaw, axe and shovel. Now I drive to the nearest cabin situated as close to or above the snow line, commandeer it, and fortify. Thus the purpose of the axe, shovel and chainsaw. I would focus on the cabin first. If amiable survivors should arrive, I would welcome them, and we could than start scavenging the outlying farm houses and ranches. Hopefully find more arms, tools and sustenance. We would continue to fortify, depending on the time frame, we may not stop short of a palisade wall or motte and bailey. Wooden walls and earth mounds and ditches would make fine barricades for the undead.
Springatron
If help is coming and the goal is to survive until it comes then i'd stay put and try to go unnoticed. The zeds are going to be following the food and the majority of the food is going to be fleeing the city in noisy cars. I may not have much in the house but id have more than if i chucked some stuff in a car and ran. Id start by using what i have to build temperary barricades (you said we didn't have any to start with, not that we couldn't build them) to block access to whatever room/rooms i plan to tough it out in. Id try to have access to at least one room and a bathroom. If the area has water towers and everyone else is dead or ran away you'd have water for a fairly long time after the power goes out or if no water towers you could at least fill your tub if you have one. I wouldn't try to barricade windows or doors because any work or movement near the exterior walls of the house would probably be noticed by the zeds. If there's an attic then whatever room has access to it is where im putting all my supplies to start. Once i feel im fairly secure ill start moving all i can up into the attic. If there's no attic then id try and rig a way to get up onto the roof from whatever room i pick. If my plan to go unnoticed fails and the zombies find me then id haul all i could up onto the roof via whatever method i came up with before they break the barricades. After that it'd probably just be a waiting game until help arrived or i decided to make a break for it.

I live in an area like this, and have been planning for this very situation, so here it is:
First, I would take the 9mm (obviously) and as many blades as I could find (my trusty lock-back knife and some sharp kitchen knives) and pack a bag with food, a lighter, any first-aid materials (in case of non-zombie related injuries), a sleeping bag, a flashlight, an axe, a shovel (not one that's too big, more like a 3- or 4-foot handle), a cell phone, a radio, money (just in case, and could be used for burning), and a book or two, my Game Boy and some paper & pencils for my amusement. I would then gather up a small group of people and tell them to grab whatever supplies they can get a hold of. We would first move near the city to the nearest convienience store for any further supplies (ie. more food, water, batteries, etc.) as well as any nearby gun store for weapons, ammo, and (if there was any) melee weapons.
We would then head for the mountains either by bike or on foot; cars would attract any nearby zombies in the urban region. But we would only stay near the edge of the mountain region so as not to be overcome by the harsh weather and to stand a greater chance of being found by any military assistance. In this area, we would try to find a building to hold up in (ie. a church) located in a sparsely populated area in the mountain region; if none were to be found, we would build a shelter made from any trees we could find and mounds of dirt using the axe and shovel.
At night, people would stand guard in 2-hour shifts in groups of 2-4. Come morning, those who stayed up would sleep as late as they pleased.
If we ever ran out of supplies (or were running low), we would move out and try to find a small town nearby with only a few zombies, clear it out, and take any supplies we could find and find new shelter (like a house or barn.)
We would hold out wherever we were until we heard word of survivors or aid on the radio, at which point we would use the cell phone to contact aid (it would be off most of the time to conserve battery life); or if we used the phone to get in touch with someone who is capable of providing aid.
If help did come for us within a week of our initial setting up shelter, I would let the group go with the helping party; I would take any supplies and weapons I could, find a car, possibly bring someone along as backup, and head to another city some distance away to be with my girlfriend and protect her (assuming the virus hasn't spread that far). If help didn't come within a week, I would leave anyway first chance I get, with some supplies (leaving the rest with the other survivors) to go find my girlfriend and be with her. Again, hoping the virus hasn't yet reached where she lives. If it had, I would head there as quickly as possible to try and save her. If I couldn't save her, I would kill her zombie form then blow my own brains out.
That's what I would do, anyway. Whether or not it works, we'll have to wait for the zombie apocalypse to find out.
--ShotgunMan
I'd probly just agree with Vanrulzz on what to do...'cause that's pretty much what I'd do.

Residentmagnum
I got a few guns and there is a heavy police presence in the area
The police would be the first to die, so when possible I would just kill a zombie police officer
Some of the police have switched to a sigsower which is an odd round but it should get the job done. then clean the town up. I got a bad leg so if i'm boxed in i'm dead if i run out of food i'm dead.
If the infection is bad enough that a nuke is on the way the city already may be quarentined i would go down fighting even if that were just one zombie.
there are construction crews and harware stores so there is no real need to travle to a large mall where the zombie threat will be at its highest threat.
car loaded with 1/2 a tank of gas so posably makes a larger explosition then a car with a full tank so i would try to set a few traps. i don't need to ge to a mountain just a local water tower one way up with two ways out rescue or death
after rading a vacent gun store or a zombie neighbors home on my way there i should have some kind of sniper riffle living in Michigan where a 1/3 or more of the poeple are hunters or know someone who is. car dealerships will have some cars. gas stations may still have gas.
TNT or other stolen explosive could make an interest 4th of the July expolsion. Many will be killed or hiding in cars hospitals police station or there own homes after make a map and deciding on a plan I must leave my home for a better shelter like a water tower or other high place and ammo.
Sofar i have followed the rules only what i have or grabbed on the way. I also have a basic plan.
Get in the car and drive. the car sucks so i can't run over two many zombies.
I avoid people for many reasons but the main reason is what if they are on the verge of turning.
I took no food, and i have a 2liter of sprite with the hope of finding more supplies soon as most likly it will be the day before i goto the store to resupply.
two boxes of ammo for a 30/30 and a 22 both are riffles along with both riffles I also take a hunting knife, crow bar, machete, matches, lighter, one change of cloths a wash cloth, a survival book, my boots jeans and even if it is not cold take a heavy winter coat. the ideal is it can be worn, it has pockets, may help when being bitten, help when back pack or other carry objest from rubing your back raw. Denaum is tougher than cotton maybe help or if you gotthen chaufs(cow bow leather paints) the boots are for when you need to kick or stomp the zombie or zombies back to death.
Don't forget zombies burn easly so i'm told when possible burn them with cooking oil or other flammble oils and a mathc or light.
Some doors are harder than others so a crowbar will help when resuppling. i may use a bottle of wd-40 in the trunk of the car
the newest form of larcney in crash and dash a helmet and air bags help if not drink to the point of being drunk so you go limp like a crash test dummy this way when you need something you can get it with minimum injury. nuke might be on the way so why not drive a fancy car around.
Scene it is hide, kill, resced and then killed. I choose to fight and to kill as many zombies as possible. with my supplies i might drive to a bus lot and use a buss, or better yet a bulldozer. i'm a faster learner.
if not possible goto the police station hold up in a cell with as much food as possible-could starve to death
byates
Only level 2, hole up in my house. Barricade the doors and windows, convert sticks and poles to skull pokers, make a hole into the attic area, move self andsupplies into the attic, be very, verry, verrry, verrrry quiet. When supplies are down to a comfortable load to carry, move out of house. Go to school bus yard and borrow bus and several cans of fuel. Block door on bus, plywood, sheet metal etc. Should be able to run down zeds and push a path through what is in the way. Enough time should have passed for the local threat to have shrunk, no food for zed, so they should have mostly left. Perimeter should have been established and cleanup in progress, or completed. Head for smoke, sign of clean up operations.

I would head for the Marina (in fact, my own area is somewhat like this and we have a plan that involves the yacht club... a former prison with 12 foot walls and a single land based point of entry). Typically a marina will have a number of yachts, some of which are well stocked with supplies, all of which are capable of leaving land and going to an island with no people if needed. Hell, some of the yachts in this area are capable of round the world journeys. Of course, if the marina were to be the lake type then it would be a case of heading to the mountains and finding the most defensible location possible (preferably a cave of some sort with open areas leading up to it, for farming and for perimiter views). Either way, the gun, as many makeshift weapons as possible (in my home right now there are several swords, some boken, a few staff's, a variety of knives of both the kitchen and weapon variety, etc.). Any canned food (logically) and any fresh food that will keep unrefrigerated for a little bit (fruit, veggies, meat that hasn't been in the fridge for too long) and my travel cooler with all the perishables I can manage, plus the ice packs. Also, I have a travel stove and pots and pans that match it, mini tent's that can be fitted in to the car quickly. I think that here in Nova Scotia most houses have most of this equipment (we had a period of frequent blackouts recently plus our first ever hurricane a couple of years ago, people have started to take survival seriously).
ZS207
I would head to the farmland and build some earthen walls about 12 ft. high with stairs so people can walk on the wall. Farm.Shoot.Farm.Shoot.Make weps and ammo.
BirdbrainX
I would head for the Marina too.
Firstly, I dont have handguns of any sort of firearms, so i would get a home-available cleaver as primary weapon.
Secondly, a can of Zippo fluid, rope or any sort of cable would suffice, some dry rations(primary food that doesnt need to be cooked or expire anytime soon), pocketknife, lighter and matches if i can find em, water containers, backpack, warm clothing, flashlight and batteries, portable containers for storage(pickup some food along the way, or for extra water storage, etc), and a warm blanket(which can be torn down to make extra roping,etc), a medic kit(painkillers, antiseptics, some bandages, etc), a small mirror, and my handy compass(which I always carry)
Thirdly, a thick pair of pants or jeans, T-shirt, headwear of any sort(vs the sun), thick shoes or boots.
I choose the marina, as its more isolated than the mountains, all you need is a functional boat with oars(nothing fancy as those require fuel and electricity). Since i'm not exactly a sailor or any sorts, I wouldnt be able to navigate out to sea or anywhere really unless its a lake or river. The Marina serves a number of functions, easy to clear bodily wastes whenever you need. The option for moving off else where is always present, unless you're in a swimming pool( haha ). Since the Zombies dont swim, as they most likely would walk underwater. They cant thread water to reach my craft either.
If all seems lost, there's always an option for sucide or take your chances out in open waters.
Cipher234
I would call some of my closest freinds and tell them to get to my house with all their food water and generally useful things they can carry. We would then make or way to the marina. I would hire acaptain o a medium sized ship (20x60 feet) and sail about half a mile off shore with a radio keeping intact with someone on shore and keep tabs on their situation.I would only land when we need supplies.
Bfish
I would use tin foil to cover up all windows with tin foil to keep any Zeds wondering the streets from noticing anybody inside. I'd lock the doors and put chairs propped up against the doornobs. If I got down to a week's worth of supplies before help came, I'd head for the farmland, taking all the food, water, ammo, guns (if I aquired more somehow), lighters, tin foil, and Bibles I have, and head out. If there were anysmall stores that looked empty and showed no signs of forced entry, I'd stop there. I would avoid large malls, because it has been sed in movies as an idea and will be the first thing unprepared and probally infected people will think of. I would find an small, empty home that showed no sign of forced entry and hideout there. There farmlands, should be in good condition, so as long as I keep quite and hidden, I should be able to farma small part in the center well. After that, I'd just wait it out.
MrJuly
Simple, precordinate a meating area somewhere out of town with trustworthy and compitent friends if you havn't already. Use any social netwroking site you are a member of already to find prepared people in your area. When the situation occurs and you have met, preferably in an area of low population density, head towards a commercial center. Do not head north to the mountains as groups of survivors survivng in the wilderness is not very realistic. The city, too, will be bad for obvious reasons. I'd say a costco or a wallmart. They both carry food in bulk as well as tents, ply wood, basic tools, etc. Secure all opening and establish your actual base on the roof. Well insulated huts for winter - tents for summer. Non-frozen food should be moved to the celing as well and the only access to the ceiling should be a ladder that can be brought up with your group at night. Early mornings - scope and clear store of any hostiles. Late morning focus on improving defenses in any way possible. Afternoon should be spent on the offensive - hordes of zombies may move at random - if this is the case the commercial area will no longer be flooded. The srious problems may occure if the city zombies start heading north but if that happens hold tight and let them flood in to the "safe mountains". Your group should always burn the corpses of those they kill and while "hunting" always make sure all orphases are covered. Cutting a zombie in half is cool until the blood spray gets in your eye, ear, or mouth. You will probably be able to fashion some kind of bite proof armor from material within the store, but being mobbed is still a serious issue. Always travel in light packs with a days ration and never retreat to your safe house if mobbed. Always out run and double back - if it means your life then you take solace in knowing that you did not risk others.
Akenokuro
I would go with Van's plan, Take whatever worth while equipment, tools, food and farmables and go for the Farmlands, plus where there's Farmlands there has to be a farm, some lumber, and the right constructions turns a farm into a fortified zombie base, and with some survivors, and a vigil on all points could be made, taking out many zombies before they even reach the building.
Howidoit22
First off id go and call my closest friends and tell them to meet me at my house. while they come id tell my family to get ready to leave. i own a rifle so id grab that and all my ammo, canned food, water, knives, and my blade. id pack all of them into a backpack and id go into my car as my friends would come and all of us would go to the farmland because we could easily reinforce the farm and grow food. also if theres survivors there we could use their help also. the land is open so it makes it easy to see incoming zombies and me as i own a rifle could easily pick them off from a distance and i go to a firing range like 3 times a week so i have the training. id barricade all the windows and doors and wait out the outbreak.

I would grab all my ammo, as many books as I can, grab the shovel, pickaxe, crowbar, axe, as much food as I can, including veggies, and a backpack, and move to the farmland while I still can. There, I and any othersurvivorsbegin making walls ditches and AMMO when not planting. After a while, we begin foraging into towns and the city. -Sgt.Schultz
I would take the gun and ammo, the usual fortification/melee stuff like the axe and chainsaw and shovel and go to the farmlands with any nonbitten survivors i can pick up along the way. The food growing is absolutely necessary and the open fields can help us see zombies BEFORE they come, so it is more of a blessing than a curse.

When supplies are down to a comfortable load to carry, move out of house. Go to school bus yard and borrow bus and several cans of fuel. Block door on bus, plywood, sheet metal etc. Should be able to run down zeds and push a path through what is in the way. Enough time should have passed for the local threat to have shrunk, no food for zed, so they should have mostly left. Perimeter should have been established and cleanup in progress, or completed. Head for smoke, sign of clean up operations.

I would head for the Marina (in fact, my own area is somewhat like this and we have a plan that involves the yacht club... a former prison with 12 foot walls and a single land based point of entry). Typically a marina will have a number of yachts, some of which are well stocked with supplies, all of which are capable of leaving land and going to an island with no people if needed. Hell, some of the yachts in this area are capable of round the world journeys. Of course, if the marina were to be the lake type then it would be a case of heading to the mountains and finding the most defensible location possible (preferably a cave of some sort with open areas leading up to it, for farming and for perimiter views). Either way, the gun, as many makeshift weapons as possible (in my home right now there are several swords, some boken, a few staff's, a variety of knives of both the kitchen and weapon variety, etc.). Any canned food (logically) and any fresh food that will keep unrefrigerated for a little bit (fruit, veggies, meat that hasn't been in the fridge for too long) and my travel cooler with all the perishables I can manage, plus the ice packs. Also, I have a travel stove and pots and pans that match it, mini tent's that can be fitted in to the car quickly. I think that here in Nova Scotia most houses have most of this equipment (we had a period of frequent blackouts recently plus our first ever hurricane a couple of years ago, people have started to take survival seriously).

I would head to the farmland and build some earthen walls about 12 ft. high with stairs so people can walk on the wall. Farm.Shoot.Farm.Shoot.Make weps and ammo.

I would head for the Marina too.
Firstly, I dont have handguns of any sort of firearms, so i would get a home-available cleaver as primary weapon.
Secondly, a can of Zippo fluid, rope or any sort of cable would suffice, some dry rations(primary food that doesnt need to be cooked or expire anytime soon), pocketknife, lighter and matches if i can find em, water containers, backpack, warm clothing, flashlight and batteries, portable containers for storage(pickup some food along the way, or for extra water storage, etc), and a warm blanket(which can be torn down to make extra roping,etc), a medic kit(painkillers, antiseptics, some bandages, etc), a small mirror, and my handy compass(which I always carry)
Thirdly, a thick pair of pants or jeans, T-shirt, headwear of any sort(vs the sun), thick shoes or boots.
I choose the marina, as its more isolated than the mountains, all you need is a functional boat with oars(nothing fancy as those require fuel and electricity). Since i'm not exactly a sailor or any sorts, I wouldnt be able to navigate out to sea or anywhere really unless its a lake or river. The Marina serves a number of functions, easy to clear bodily wastes whenever you need. The option for moving off else where is always present, unless you're in a swimming pool( haha ). Since the Zombies dont swim, as they most likely would walk underwater. They cant thread water to reach my craft either.
If all seems lost, there's always an option for sucide or take your chances out in open waters.

I would call some of my closest freinds and tell them to get to my house with all their food water and generally useful things they can carry. We would then make or way to the marina. I would hire acaptain o a medium sized ship (20x60 feet) and sail about half a mile off shore with a radio keeping intact with someone on shore and keep tabs on their situation.I would only land when we need supplies.

I would use tin foil to cover up all windows with tin foil to keep any Zeds wondering the streets from noticing anybody inside. I'd lock the doors and put chairs propped up against the doornobs. If I got down to a week's worth of supplies before help came, I'd head for the farmland, taking all the food, water, ammo, guns (if I aquired more somehow), lighters, tin foil, and Bibles I have, and head out. If there were anysmall stores that looked empty and showed no signs of forced entry, I'd stop there. I would avoid large malls, because it has been sed in movies as an idea and will be the first thing unprepared and probally infected people will think of. I would find an small, empty home that showed no sign of forced entry and hideout there. There farmlands, should be in good condition, so as long as I keep quite and hidden, I should be able to farma small part in the center well. After that, I'd just wait it out.

Simple, precordinate a meating area somewhere out of town with trustworthy and compitent friends if you havn't already. Use any social netwroking site you are a member of already to find prepared people in your area. When the situation occurs and you have met, preferably in an area of low population density, head towards a commercial center. Do not head north to the mountains as groups of survivors survivng in the wilderness is not very realistic. The city, too, will be bad for obvious reasons. I'd say a costco or a wallmart. They both carry food in bulk as well as tents, ply wood, basic tools, etc. Secure all opening and establish your actual base on the roof. Well insulated huts for winter - tents for summer. Non-frozen food should be moved to the celing as well and the only access to the ceiling should be a ladder that can be brought up with your group at night. Early mornings - scope and clear store of any hostiles. Late morning focus on improving defenses in any way possible. Afternoon should be spent on the offensive - hordes of zombies may move at random - if this is the case the commercial area will no longer be flooded. The srious problems may occure if the city zombies start heading north but if that happens hold tight and let them flood in to the "safe mountains". Your group should always burn the corpses of those they kill and while "hunting" always make sure all orphases are covered. Cutting a zombie in half is cool until the blood spray gets in your eye, ear, or mouth. You will probably be able to fashion some kind of bite proof armor from material within the store, but being mobbed is still a serious issue. Always travel in light packs with a days ration and never retreat to your safe house if mobbed. Always out run and double back - if it means your life then you take solace in knowing that you did not risk others.

I would go with Van's plan, Take whatever worth while equipment, tools, food and farmables and go for the Farmlands, plus where there's Farmlands there has to be a farm, some lumber, and the right constructions turns a farm into a fortified zombie base, and with some survivors, and a vigil on all points could be made, taking out many zombies before they even reach the building.

First off id go and call my closest friends and tell them to meet me at my house. while they come id tell my family to get ready to leave. i own a rifle so id grab that and all my ammo, canned food, water, knives, and my blade. id pack all of them into a backpack and id go into my car as my friends would come and all of us would go to the farmland because we could easily reinforce the farm and grow food. also if theres survivors there we could use their help also. the land is open so it makes it easy to see incoming zombies and me as i own a rifle could easily pick them off from a distance and i go to a firing range like 3 times a week so i have the training. id barricade all the windows and doors and wait out the outbreak.
