Hypothetically if there was a zombie attack similar to the original "Dawn of the Dead" or "Night of the Living Dead" I like to think I've created a good plan for getting out alive. I know I should spend my time better but my friends and I talk about this a lot. Am I just crazy or have any of you thought about this, and would you survive? I know for fact if the zombies could run like in the '04 "Dawn of the Dead" I would last five minutes.

I know those zombies had like superpowers. I definitely would need a fast durable car or lots of friends that well prepared and aware with many weapons.

I really think the best vehicle availabe during such an attack would be a helicopter. I can't think of a single land vehicle other than a tank which would work better. Luckily I have two people in my crew who know how to fly a helicopter succesfully in Flight Simulator and we live nearby to a public airfield with the needed supplies.

What are you going to do when the helicopter runs out of fuel?

even if you have fuel, a helicopter will last about a week if you don't know how to do maintenance
 
I'd have a private plane fueled to take me to an isolated island to live out the rest of my days.

this is the reason that I'm looking to buy a truck with 4 wheel drive . . . just in case the zombies come I can run for the hills with a load of supplies . . . . . . .

(or because I will be able to drive to school and anywhere else I might live in the next couple years with all my crap in the back . . . . )
 
Let's see, I live in an apartment complex on the second floor, and I usually buy 2-3 weeks of food from Wal-Mart. I have a 12 gauge, box of shells, 2 swords, golf clubs, tons of batteries, flashlights, duct tape, vodka, heavy barricading material, and all of my windows are inaccessible without a ladder.

I am set.

Congratulations! You scored 84%!
Whether through ferocity or quickness, you made it out. You made the right choice most of the time, but you probably screwed up somewhere. Nobody's perfect, at least you're alive.
 
booyah, 93%

And based on all the gun threads here, im sure the majority of ATOT would have no problem killing off a zombie invasion (provided they cant run, of course 😀)
 
id become a zombie and start establishing a zombie democracy. equality amongst zombies everywhere! zombies have rights too dammit!
