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

    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.

    Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over.

    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.

    Zombies?

    Look around. We’re in an apocalypse right now.

    You need zombies to make it real?

    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

        Like corpses. And corpses don’t tend to be particularly strong or fast once they start rotting. Unless there’s some sort of magic involved to stop the decomposition process, they’ll likely all die out as they rot. The fresher zombies will take a few weeks to become inert, but that’s a blip in the radar in the grand scheme of things.

        But the bigger issue then becomes what caused it. If it was something like a prion disease, (like Mad Cow Disease) then you’re likely fucked even after the zombies all rot; Prions don’t decompose, and (if the zombie outbreak was big enough) you’re almost guaranteed to catch it via dirty soil exposure (either directly, or via tainted produce that was grown where a zombie died) eventually.

        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…

      Just don’t blow out your brains. Leave some food for the rest of us.
