Zombie Apocalypse!

[Pakhan]

the doors are on it, it just doesn't have an engine

Perfect! so no worries of running out of gas.

or making noise to attract zombies!

I'm going to book it for home, break into the local gun shop along the way to get ammo since I'm down to one box.
Fill up 5 gallon buckets with water, take them, trash bags of food, can opener, my dogs, dog food, chain saw, gas for saw, my girl friend if she's vistiing, tp up stairs.  I will then rip down the stairs and have a seat by a window ready to rock some zombies.

It's now 7pm, I'm in mid-town Manhattan (NYC) on the 6th floor of a very large building.

50 / 50 I'm make the beast with two backsed.

On the off chance I can live the week, I'd have to make sure
a) the power stays on
b) the 2 levels of security doors hold
c) the vending machines can last a couple of days
d) weapons... lots of stuff to improvise with.
e) the ventilation system can be isolated (no sneaking through the vents)
f) unless the zombies can climb vertical walls, I'm not worried about the glass.
g) my role models - the dad and daughter from "28 Days."

If I was at home, I'd start setting up a command post in my apartment. I live on the fourth floor, and odds are there will be a few people in the building I can coordinate with. First step would be to barricade the glass lobby with whatever furniture we can, and cut off any of the entrances except for the door to the parking garage. For safety I'd get the keys to one of the SUVs down there and use it to block the door. Fortunately there are no windows on the first floor except for the lobby doors. Any apartment that is unoccupied would be broken into and raided for supplies and tools. We would stockpiles these in a single apartment so everyone can access them, a sort of central supply room for a collective effort. Odds are no one in my building would have any weapons, so when things quiet down outside it would be time to make a run for the gun shop. We'd setup a team of two with a tough vehicle from the parking garage and add on some makeshift armour to prevent window smashing and allow for easy zombie-mowing down. Grab some jerry cans and siphon the gas out of some of the cars to make sure they are well stocked with fuel. They would go out directly to the nearest gun shop equipped with blunt weapons and some tools to break into the door. Once they (hopefully) return with the weapons stockpile, we set up sniping positions on the rooftop terrace and keep watch on the streets, picking off any zombies that come into range or threaten to rush the barricades. Everyone is issued with a sidearm and a rifle or shotgun for personal defense and given basic training on the rooftop on how to handle their weapons. We repeat the supply system when food or supplies are needed, assuming it was successful the first time. Sitting tight with minimal weapons and food runs, we might be able to hold out until the zombies start starving to death. This plan would work best if only a few people were in the apartment building - the fewer mouths to feed the better, and the fewer people who might get nutty or violent the better.

If you have not read Max Brooks "Zpmbie Survival Guide" you might as well just kill yourself now. Seriously, read this book. Preperation takes time and by the time the outbreak happens, it will be too late.

Well that's fantastic Mr. Sunshine!!! That means I'm just screwed!

Not to mention that the outbreak has already happened!

Lol -  half you guys are wandering outside to look for weapons, or family when 99.999% of the population is already infected and shambling about. Ek, I think maybe I didn't make that part clear: my bad. Sorry to everyone who died horribly.  

Meanwhile, I'm not happy about sitting in a roof for the passed two days. I've been looking outside quite a bit... the zombies are kinda random - some will stand in one place for hours, others stagger passed on 'the way' to somewhere.  I saw a guy get eaten before - not nice. Well, half eaten. Once he became a zombie, they lost interest.

Humans have poor hearing and eyesight. I'll have to leave here soon, travel by night on foot. When I do, I'll be moving 2 blocks west. There is a small corner store nearby, so I'll be able to stock up on food. I'm honestly not sure how I can get to the countryside from here.

NeufUnSix, did you notice that girl from down the hall has a bite mark on her arm?

It has doors and an engine in fact believe it or not that POS only has about 60,000 miles on it, the transfer case is just make the beast with two backsed up. If needed I could get that thing moving under it's own power. I just have it buried at the back of the garage because I have more important things to do but my priorities would change if zombies came knocking.

This game sucks (no offense intended) because we couldn't ride anymore, so I ain't playin'. Ha!

BTW ever seen Resident Evil (I think 4) It's a really good Zombie Apocalypse movie.

I guess if I did play, I would get Milla Jovovich to help me, she would, don't ya think?

I just got to this thread and I don't remember where I was when it started, so I'll go with right now.  I'm actually in pretty good shape.  I'm in a second floor two bedroom apartment, with three solid doors between me and the outside. 

Food?  Check, I live above an Italian restaurant which has walk in freezer. 
Water?  Check, I have access to the roof for rain catches. 
Beer? Double check, restaurant has a well stocked bar, and I have beer making equipment and supplies
Whiskey?  Check, see above.
Defense?  Check, 12ga shotty, HGs, rifle, and around 4K rounds of assorted ammo.  (also tons of maintenance supplies)

Only problem is the owner is downstairs right now tending the bar.  I guess first order of business is go down, split some wigs, stack the bodies outside, throw some veal on a skillet, and raid the whiskey.  I figure I can stay sane (read:drunk) and fed long enough until the zombies starve, then wait or look for survivors.

Jeep also has a full tank of gas, guess I'd take the jeep up to west point or down to fort dix if I had to leave.

One other problem, only 1 pack of smokes...  Guess there's a corner liquor store raid in order.

Good thread

"Janice, can you come up to the roof for your firearms training? No, I'll hold on to the gun until I think you are ready."
Problem solved.

Sorry to jump in late, but I've been very busy...

I was on the roof with the kids, wife and dog, and a few other scattered folks from connected houses on the block.

The good news :a large stockpile of ammo and guns (who knew so many San Franciscans closeted gun owners like me) We've got food and water for at least three weeks (I figured we be using in in the event of an earthquake, not zombies)

We've also demolished any and all staircases leading up the the roofs.

The bad news was the crowd of zombies was about 5000 strong and growing daily. I guess once all the available 'food' was gone they slowly began to congregate around our neighborhood.

Luckily for us I was able to tap my old NavCom handheld pilot's radio into a neighbor's solar panel and charge it up. A quick broadcast on 121.5 (SOS) and I got in touch with a coast guard rescue chopper. We cleared a landing area and got a quick flight to the ships moored over on treasure island.

Apparently they are using commandeered container ships as a makeshift fortress for the few hundred survivors....
