What would you do if there was a zombie apocalypse coming and you had 2 days to prepare?
- only you know
- zombie type is up to you
Probably procrastinate for 48hrs.
Stock up on canned food, ammo, batteries, fuel etc. Go to a cabin in the wilderness far away from everything. Check that I've got the essentials, realize I forgot something. Go back to town to pick it up. Go back to cabin, go back to town to print out some guides on how to preserve food, go back to cabin.
Hole up in Costco for two weeks or so.
The rotting corpses who only hunger for flesh are going to be eaten by animals and bugs. Because they don’t have regular ways to maintain water balance for muscles they will atrophy and become immobile. They will pretty much be a non threat while I have plenty of food and shelter to last me.
Buy a lot of toothpaste and toothbrushes.
And I would ask those hordes of zombie to brush their teeth before they try to bite me as I would not want to get sick and maybe contagious right before I'm eaten alive.I’m going to assume the zombies are the result of a microbial/viral infection reanimating a cadaver. Those muscles aren’t going to stay functional for long, because the body is dead, systems have stopped etc.
I’ll just get enough water and canned food to survive a week. Just lock the doors and stay inside until the zombies outside stop moving.
Go online.
Research how many sleeping pills it takes to die.
Go out and buy them.
Spend time doing things I enjoy with people I like.
Crush the pills up into a drink and pound it.
Go to sleep.
Life's already hard. I don't need to live in a post-apocalyptic world.
Buy a shotgun. Shoot myself. 😆
Oh, and get drunk.
Living on an upper floor comes in handy for once, as it's actually fairly easy to barricade the front door. Alert some key close friends and family members who will actually believe me. Then stock up on canned goods, fill every possible thing I can with water, and grab some camping solar kits for power once the grid goes down.
After that? Hunker down. Avoid being clearly seen in windows or heard to prevent attracting the undead. I reckon I need to last about 6-9 weeks.
See, the thing is, zombies are going to die out. The average human can go 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Let's assume zombies have a magical lack of need of hydration, so they last 3 weeks. Double that for the time they'll have ample food. Assume another 3 weeks that they'll cannibalize each other or something.
At that point, I can begin to venture outside. Small numbers of capable zombies may still exist, but most will be dead or starving. Other survivors are my greatest worry.
Meh. Stock up on crowbars, axes, hammers, screwdrivers, etc. Drive into the hills and away from the cities, stock up on as much canned food and water I can cram into my tiny ass car. I don't have a gun nor know how to use it, but I'd probably try and kill a cop zombie at some point after the outbreak. Then only use it on myself if it looks like it be eaten alive.
Otherwise I'd try to live a quiet secluded life reading books, attempting to garden, fish, and trap small game animals. All while mourning my loved ones while waiting for the weight of the depression to finally convince me life isn't worth living in such a state. Hopefully that takes a good long while, but yknow...that's unlikely.
I'd likely die of starvation or dehydration before the zombies got me, unless we're talking sprinters...then no way.
I used to play Project Zomboid. The game mechanics make the learning difficulty high and you have to start from the beginning if you die...and there is no plot nor point to the story other than just survive in a world where you are the sole survivor of a zombie outbreak. It forces you into thinking like this often the longer you play. Amazing game, but very depressing.
Drugs.
Then suicide.
Realistically the military will eventually clear everything, I just have to survive the weeks it would probably take.
Id buy a bunch of shelf stable food, a wood burner, bunch of lumber for barricading, nails, portable batteries for keeping out phones charged, a big battery for the router (even when thr power is down, internet isnt), guns. A bunch of bottled water too. A bunch of hand sanitizer too to clean out hands constantly if needed
I think thats all I'd need to sit this out. I think the hardest part would be convincing family that theres gonna be a zombie Apocalypse
Stock up, stay inside, and wait for the zombies to die from either dehydration or starvation.
Well... My health conditions mean that I am unlikely to survive long term after apocalypse. Even if no zombies get me. The first week would be fine, the first month maybe, but I wouldnt be alive to see the second year. I could try to do a camping trip to see if the "apocalypse" passes over quickly. If not, then there is no point trying to plan for long term survival.
Supplies and boat on a large body of water.
Wait for real life to kill zombies. Or for them to rebuild society.
Have two days of just absolute living it the absolute fuck up.
And buy a bottle of nitrogen and a non-rebreather mask.
Assuming they're the type of zombie with no viable circulatory system to help stay warm, I'd relocate up to the Arctic for a while.
I will join the army at last. My zombies are regular semi-slow ones, not magical.
- Liquidate all my assets
- Spend that money on food, bottled water, camping toilets, medicine, etc.
- Barricade myself indoors
- Wait it all out
Time to go over my credit card limit buying shit for my home, mainly food and water. I wonder how long would electricity keep running.
At least I can pick zombie type, so only slow walkers like in the original Resident Evi or in Project Zomboid.
I'd learn to speak zombie. Doesn't take long, it's mostly throat noises. And walk like a zombie, just pretend a horse kicked you in the ass yesterday.
Sucide
There's a dedicated community for discussing this exact topic
Go shopping. Enough to last for a couple of months. Bring some water, as well. Buy some lumber to reinforce the doors. A few steel panels to close off a few strategic places. Raid the library.
Wait a month and allow flies and the weather do their thing.
See the not-so-dead fall apart.
After I stop seeing movement for three straight days, start blasting noise on a high visibility location from my location and wait to see what crawls out.
By this time, I risk two months have already elapsed.
Go out, with a shovel and an axe.
Dig a large pit, fill it with fire wood. Lay down a few of the corpses. Stack it as high as I can make it. Cover with more fire wood.
Syphon some diesel from a random car.
Light it up!
Rinse, repeat, until all the corpses I can find are disposed of, grouping together all the survivors I come across.
Start over.
Oh, id die, probably almost instantly.
Get black market explosives so I can blow up my brains and don't risk becoming a zombie.
Id give up so fast, id maybe try to survive, but my plan would include getting bitten and somehow being immune to the brain damage making myself immortal, either that or die
Like all the zombies on Lemmy... Slap them harder until they wake up and stop being zombies?
Get a new axe. Probably some non perishable food and water.
Fly with my family and friends to Antarctica, buy a lot of booze and supplies, assuming no smart zombies and that patient zero wasn’t in Antarctica
My bugout bag and axe are ready so I guess I'd just stock up on ammo.
If possible, just get in my family's van and get into a big enough accident that I die. I ain't living in any form of zombie apocalypse if I have the choice.
