For the sake of the plot, choose whichever zombie type fits your plans the best.

    Realistic zombies: do nothing, it will pass quickly, or I will catch it too. If I don’t catch it I shelter on place for a few days

    Movie zombies of any kind: kill myself, I’m not delusional, that world sucks and my chances are tiny

        My head cannon for “realistic” zombies. is Mel Brooks’, the writer of 'zombie survival guide and ‘world war z’ (no relation to the movie or the game) esque zombies.

          Max Brooks, Mel is his father. I’d expect a Mel Brooks-written Zombie guide would be a bit…different…

    Questions (because I have different answers based on their responses).

    • How much heads up do I get
    • What type of zombies, do they run or shamble? Infection or magic?

    For the time based one, if you have enough of a heads up or are ahead of the panic, go north (does not apply with magic zombies). In America, get your ass to Calgary or Edmonton, for europe Helsinki. Zombies would freeze or slow down in the weather would prevent the majority from reaching your base. If those arnt options, find a location where the enviroment does most of the zombie killing for you.

    If you dont have the heads up, you need to find a place to hunker down and set up a base quick. You need to pick a place you can get to without roads, and wont be on less prepared peoples high priority lists. If your in a city, get out, if your in the burbs, you got options, rural people can take their time, but also have the most work to do.

    Personally, my zombie plan is to use a local 2-story school, they are designed in such a manner that they wont be broken into easily, you can secure the second story by knocking out the stairs, the field may be enclosed and they will have a nurses office, cafateria and woodshop.

    All these preperations mostly apply to Infection zombies and are fine so long as they cant climb. Magic zombies are really going to be situational and surviving them will require knowing their rules. Survival is the name of the game, you cant fight the horde, so again, try and let the eviroment do that for you.

    Wall of my parents’ tiny neighborhood and use it as a compound. They have major river access and there are plenty of big yards for agriculture. There’s also plenty of blue collar workers to do a lot of hands-on stuff. I’d be in charge of animal husbandry since I’m really good at it. My mom would do plants.

    Slow zombies? I’d do my very best to get back home. I moved for work so I’d do a cross country road trip to get back home. I think slow zombies would be easy to avoid if you plan and be very careful. Fast zombies on the other hand is a different story. Left 4 dead zombies? Probably die and become a boomer or a spitter.

    Shelter in place for a while until decomposition of their muscles makes them completely ineffectual and unable to actually move.

    Shouldn’t take long.

    Probably start eating brains. Too close to a major population center to think I’d get out and away without being bitten at least once or twice.
