Okay, let's set some ground rules. Just so someone can't say
"LOL YOU MIGHT HAVE ZOMBIES WIF GUNZZZZZ !!!!11112222333445566778899000"
1. The Zombies are the cool kind. "Zoombies" in fact, a la 28 Days Later and Dawn Of the Dead (the West Side Edition).
2. Infection is spread in a similar manner to 28 Days Later. Pretty much any contact with Zombie Blood will infect you.
3. Infection happens in like 10 minutes tops.
4. EVERYWHERE IS ZOMBIE. Like, noone is still alive. So, nobody is coming to save you.
First off: Here's a thought for you.
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks is your new bible
Step 1:
Get your Spotters.
Spotters are pretty much your best friends for the duration of the zombie apocalypse. It's best to choose people you trust with your genitals. You need someone who won't ditch you when the hordes are streaming towards you. The best spotters are those with experience with zombies (preferably having read the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks) and people with reasonable build.
Step 2:
Have your fall back point ready and waiting.
Have the place in which you will live your last days on earth ready for when the Zombie apocalypse comes around. This means knowing the ways in and out, knowing how you're going to stay dark, how you're going to soundproof, how you're going to barricade.
The fallback point should be outside of a large population area as this will be where the zombie infestation will be at its fullest. Farmhouses and country villages are the ideals. I have mine: A friend's farm which has an impenetrable garage, with a full-on blast door. I'm SAFE.
Step 3:
Don't be scared to leave your house.
Especially if you're isolated, don't be reluctant to leave the house to gather supplies every now an again. There will be service stations out in the middle of nowhere where you can gather your supplies. Beware; in every building there could be a zombie. This is the most dangerous thing you can do, but pays dividends.
Step 4:
Know your enemy. When you've sat out a month, or year in the new Zombie world check out their patterns. Find out when they rest, (if they even do), how they react to sounds, how they move, how they sense things. This will give you an edge when you take it on the offensive. That leads us to the next point.
Step 5:
Reclaim the city.
This is the most crucial and difficult stage in any Survivor's CV, as it requires patience, diligence and intelligence. 1-2 years after the initial infection the zombies should begin to starve. When this occurs you will notice a lack of zombies and your supply trips will be safer. When this happens, you must be fully prepared to be over-run. Hopefully by this time you will have a decent vehicle of sorts to ward off the occasional infected. You need to fortify this vehicle, fill it with supplies (and ammo if you've got it) and bring it slowly into largely populated areas. Depending on the saturation of zombies you come across, start calling out in populated areas. The more fortunate yet less intelligent of us may have survived by locking themselves in their flats or whatever. Be prepared however, to deal with Lamoe's (Last Man On Earth). If I Am Legend (the book) has taught me anything, it's that when you think you're alone, you build up a natural reluctance to believe someone is truly human. Be prepared to be shot at- maybe even prepare a speech, because hell, those suckaz might never give up. BUT
These people in any case are a danger to the stability of your new world order.
END THEM.
Step 6:
Repopulate.
Secure a headquarters- Skyscrapers are ALWAYS good. Shopping Malls- NOT GOOD.
Gather as many survivors as you can. If possible, secure a broadcasting station, start broadcasting your message.
And there we have it.
A short 6 step solution to an undead problem.
Matt out.
