My uncle Sean and I have been talking about what in fact would happen during a zombie apocalyse.

Starting with what areas would be the safest areas to go, who would you trust in times of need, and about what type of human would be the first to be eaten.

Thinking about the zombie apocalypse is something that I myself do when I’m bored.

The main rules of the apocalyse are to seclude yourself and stay away from others. This is hard because there are billions of people on the planet. While secluding ones self it is important to remain well stocked in the essentials you’ll need for survival.

Being:

-Weapons: To defend yourself against the rising army of undead
-Food: So you can keep your strength up
and
-Running water: So you don’t dry of dyhydration and thirst.

These three essentials are bound to run out if the people who are trained to make and run them become zombies.

Since we doubted that any military organization would be organized to quarantine the zombie situation as they did in 28 weeks later I feel that there would be little hope for survival afer you ran out of one of these three essential elements.

In thinking of who may be the first victims we analysed what traits surviors usually had…

-They were fit and could outrun their opponents
-They were smart and could outwit the undead with a series of elaborate traps and tricks.
-They were not wimpy, and could therefore make their first kill without hesitation and every zombie kill they needed to after that.

We analysed the expertise a person may need to have in order to outwit a zombie, in order to do this we had to consider that zombie’s objective and how they accomplished that goal.

-The zombie’s number 1 objective is to feed.
-They do not have indigestion because their primary organs have all failed.
-Every organ except their brain which is programed even with the zombie subject is dead to search out and devour all that are not undead like themselves.
-They force feed themselves until they have reached their objective of killing the person that they have been hunting
-They are likely not to have memories in their brain from previous experiences because that is not a part of the brain that is activated when they themselves become zombies. (therefore not at all like Shaun of the dead.)
-Once they have died and have become zombies they cannot feel pain and the only way to kill them would be a direct shot to the brain to destroy it along with the little active function that posess.

Sean and I concluded that the zombie is a hard foe to have because they can multiply their numbers to the hundreds in a number of hours.

We tried to think of what kind of person would be the first kind of person to go and came to two conclusions.

-First people who were obese and lazy with a lack of motivation to survive.

-2nd the elderly on the street who couldn’t outrun

-The poor who used public transportation.

-Those stuck in traffic jams trying to flee to the country.

-Those young naive children who don’t recognize tall tell signs of zombism.

In my uncle’s game plan he wants to stop at a grocery store then a gun shop. Or a grocery store then he’d head to the country.

But I said that the country would be a bad place to be because the zombie news wouldn’t spread there until late and they wouldn’t be prepared, plus the zombies would go there after they’d taken over the cities.

I thought I’D get to a grocery store then I’d head to sea, after running out of food I’d then find a deserted Island that has a lot of fruit that I could eat. Zombies have a heard time crossing waters so I’d be safe for awhile.

Then after my food supply ran out I’d head back to the city and hide in an old abandoned gun shop.

the cities would be emptying out of zombies because everyone would be heading to the country for the people hiding out there.

That’s where we left off in our first conversation. (Part 2 to come soon.)
