Your zombie invasion survival strategy

[Fanaglia]

First of all, I will gather basic supplies and barricade my house. After some days, I will drive to the Kennedy Space Center (gunning down some zombies in the way) and bribe NASA officials in order to use one of the space shuttles. I will then proceed to dock with the International Space Station.

This plan can't go wrong

Except I just watched the very last space shuttle launch ever this past summer, so even if there happened to still be a shuttle on site, it would not even close to prepped for launch, nor would you know how to prep it for launch, nor would you know how to fly it if you did, nor would you have indefinite access to food once you're IN SPACE. If you must leave the planet, your only real hope would be the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan (the Russian's primary spaceport).

Still wouldn't recommend that finding enough food and fuel to survive a trip to Russia would be nearly impossible during the outbreak and you would still have to fight your way threw millions of infected just to make it to make it to the spaceport.

My zombie survival strategy? Get to the deep wilderness, live out my days there. It's the only plan with a good outlook for long-term survival.

I'll take a tall concrete wall over trees thanks. I'm heading to the nearest prison.

The point is that there are no zombies in the deep wilderness. Good luck clearing the prison of zombies in the first place, or foraging outside it's walls for food and supplies, or holding off unending waves.

I'll take "not being where the enemy is" for the win.

Aside from becoming an undead abomination and living forever.

Nah, the prison is a pretty legit option. They're designed to be difficult to get into or out of, and to keep the people already inside in one place. The guards are already trained and equipped to suppress violence among the prisoners, up to a point. The prisoners have every motivation to cooperate with the guards, the better to actually stay alive during the zombie apocalypse and maybe be granted their freedom afterwards. If there is an afterwards. There'd probably be some medical staff on hand too, who'd be better than most at diagnosing any infectees. They'd have food, too. Prisons have a lot going for them.

Still recommend that the prisoners are likely to kill the guards at the first sign at the prison was secure.

I know that the shuttles are retired, but Atlantis wasn't scrapped and is still on site I think. As for launch preparations, I daresay that a NASA launch site is well protected by the Army, giving us time to prepare. About food, I assumed that the military would wipe the zombies out before the supplies couldn't be launched anymore. But I agree, my best hope would be in Kazakhstan. I could reach the country with one of the private jets the company employing my uncle owns, but I am afraid of "zombified" fighter jets

Anyways, I got a plan B. Charge the zombie crowd with a katana, and fight until I die.
Immortality looks cool.

With the aid of my friends take over a wooded gated neighborhood and begin civilization again under moi.

It's possible. Not a good idea on their part, but they are violent criminals and I can easily imagine they'd do something stupid just to get back at their jailers.

[Steel Talons]

My plan would be to go to my relative barricade their house, build a protected garden on the roof. All things that need to be powered would be done so by generators and various other electricity generating devices you can actually build at home.

As for guns, those aint a problem around where I live,I have over four of them

Yes and I also doubt the scared and mentally scared prison guards could be trusted either.Living in fear of whats on the outside and whats on the inside of your home just isn't something most people can handle.

I would actually prefer it if all the prisoners and staff were....lets just say MIA.
If the staff is gone and the prisoners are all stuck in their cells then it leaves me with the unenviable task who's too much of a danger and who isn't. That is to say, who I let out and who I put a bullet in. Alot of tough choices would have to be made.

Personally I would have had anyone that would prove a threat thrown over the prison walls to the infected no use wasting no ammo on a few street thugs.Although the prisoners serving time for light crimes or minor offensives we be give a choice of either helping protect the prison or joining their friends over the walls.

I'm not going to force live humans to be eaten alive, no matter what their crimes.
We can at least make their humane and then cremate the body.

I predict one of the following:
1. The prisoners seize the opportunity presented by the chaos resulting from the zombies to start a violent prison revolt and take over the entire complex.
2. The guards, either in retaliation for or in anticipation of #1 become ultra-militant and excessively brutal to regain or maintain control.

Either way, you wouldn't want to be there.

Somehow managing to make it to Kazakhstan is about as realistic as being able to infiltrate the spaceport (which, I might add, is on an island), let alone being one of the very few people who would be allowed onto the ship.

A zombie apocalypse is no time to be humane, the fact is we have little supplies and a never ending stream of undead if the person is a threat to the survival of everyone else then I'd have them removed without mercy.

Come to think of it, some of those people we have locked up would be more useful to you than most of the guards in there, anyway.

We HAVE to keep some shred of humanity merely so we can rebuild and work together properly.

We can worry about humanity after it's not getting it's face eaten off. Push back humanity now, remember it later.

I would never lose my humanity, I treat people fairly and justly but I can be civil and make amends for what I did after things ended.The sad fact is your living with people who at anytime would show you no mercy if given the chance to kill you our your families so I would do the same.

The chances of me running into you are slim.

But maybe. I'll go around asking zombies and survivors alike.

"HEY YOU! Are you Genivaria?"

"Hey, zombie-fuck! Did you used to be Genivaria?"

I guess it could work...?
