When zombies attack you better have a plan.
I just hope Ill be able to get to a samurai sword in time, because when you really think about it theyre pretty ideal. Lightweight, and designed through thousands of years of steel engineering to decapitate human heads. I guess some guy did this test where he made fake human necks in order to demonstrate how easy they could be cut through with a katana, and the dude like barely moved his wrist to get the job done. I find that very disturbing to know that somebody went through the trouble of designing a fake human neck..... Plus swords dont run out of bullets. But, just in case i get in some real trouble, a sawed off shotgun slung around my shoulder like kyle in The Terminator, and a fanny pack full of shells. Of course the fanny pack would need to be tricolor, of the flourescent sort. Now everybody knows that a key resource for surviving any zombie attack is some rope, but i think i would skip the rope since im already carrying a sword and a shotgun, i need to rely on my speed and agility and im afraid a rope will slow me down too much, not to mention that if i have a loose end some crazed flesh craving thing from the dead could snag me like a fish.
So once ive attained this inventory, given that i havent already been bitten or mistakenly killed by one of my brethren, the obvious question becomes where do we go? well the best idea would be to go to your friends house who just happens to fly helicopters and has one gassed up waiting for takeoff, wherein you would fine the nearest military outpost and let them protect your ass until all the zombies are dead, or until they take over the outpost, in which case the world is probably fucked. but since that answer is obviously a copout because nobody has a helicopter friend (or a lightsaber) i would probably head to the nearest store with canned goods to stock up.
Now here's where the key decision making is made. The question : Do you find a place to bunker up where the zombies can be easily held off, or do you find some mode of transportation that will allow you to escape the local attack. First you need to determine if this 'local attack' is just local. If i assumed that it is, then i would definitely just find a nice bunker, im thinking the top floor of a dormitory highrise, with the stairwells guarded and elevators held at the top floor. Its pretty easy to kill zombies walking up stairs. In this case the next determination that must be made is if there is enough provisions to wait out the attack. This would depend on the size of the area youre in (and by the way, this is assuming your not in a major metropolitan area, in which case you need to get the fuck out of the city). And here is where the largest drawback of bunkering down comes into play, because if you run out of food, someones gotta go get it, and if they dont come back, your basically fucked because no one else is going to want to try, and in my mind cannibals are pretty much the same as zombies.
So if its been determined that this attack is not just localized, its in multiple areas i would say the best idea is to find a SUV of some sort with 4WD. Theres really not much to this plan other than drive around and stay away from zombies, but some real problems can occur. For instance, you may find yourself in an area where zombie density keeps increasing until you find your totally surrounded and stuck in the 'mud'. Or, you may find yourself going from gas station to gas station only to realize that other people thought of your plan too, and theres a line at the station all the while the patiently waiting customers are being devoured by the living dead.
Either choice you make, I'll bet somewhere along the line you will wish you had a lightsaber or a helicopter friend
