The Pros And Cons Of A Zombie Apocalypse

Improved Essays
The most important topic on beginning to understand how to survive the end is finding out just what would happen if an enemy country dropped a virus on the US, as well as where it happens and how. In other words, what kind of apocalypse would most likely happen? Since the Night of the Living Dead, it seems like people have been preparing for the apocalypse more and more, especially in the 21st century. People should have an idea of what to do during the apocalypse as they will most likely survive, will be able to rebuild the human race, and learn to be calm in the face of danger. First, we have to understand how zombies exactly work. Well, a zombie virus is often seen as a virus that is transmitted near instantaneous by biting a victim, which …show more content…
Most people would get out of their car to see if the “person” is ok, then immediately freak out and jump back in their car to drive off. Then what would you do? Well, the first step is to find a place with a plenty of food, first aid kit, firearms, soap, clean clothes, medical gloves, duct tape, and extra gas for your car if you are going on a cross country zombie killing roadtrip. Funny enough, the place that actually has all these items (at least, according to their website) is Walmart. Also, if you happen to find one on your way to run your errands, it would be much easier to carry your items in an RV or larger vehicle if all you have is a beat up Saturn. After all, you never know what might happen out on the road that is crawling with the undead, so it would be best to stock up on supplies rather than just fit what you can in your trunk. However, if you’re not a road trip kind of a person, the next best step is finding a place to stay safe for the next month. This means choosing a place with minimum people (to decrease the chance of infection), plenty of supplies, and small enough so you would know immediately if a zombie broke in instead of it sneaking in and waiting for the right moment to infect you. A place like this would most likely be a middle class house, but you also have to understand that a home with multiple windows or even a skylight is a major target for zombies to break in. Also consider staying on the first floor at all times-if you go in the basement, you’re going to be trapped, and if you go on the second story, you might have zombies break in without your knowledge and you may have to jump out of the window to avoid being infected. So a first story house with minimum windows is probably your best choice to set up as a base. The next step is actually quite the simplest-just wait it out for a month or two. As mentioned above, the apocalypse would

    The Zombie Apocalypse is an event I feel I've been prepped for my entire life. Assuming typical scary movie rules apply: in order to survive I must find a rag tag group of people who are sane as well as very skill at using weapons. To help prevent being that that cliché person that trips, my team and I would raid a shoe store for well fitting, non slip shoes. Next we would wear various layers of coats just in case if we were caught, zombies would struggle to get to our flesh and we would have time escape from their grasp. Next we would travel north and go to a region that was not very populated prior to the apocalypse.…

    Before a survivor can even think about purifying water, they first must find an adequate water source. The easiest and safest form of water is bottled water, should there be any unopened bottles left to find. It has already been purified and does not require the following steps. Unfortunately, in the zombie apocalypse there are many other scavengers looking for supplies, so the chances of finding enough, if any, to keep a steady supply are very slim. The only choice left is to find water from other sources.…

    Imagine living in a post-apocalyptic world where living in constant fear of zombies has become a new normal.

Would this push someone over the edge or would this push them to keep trying to survive? This is what The Walking Dead is all about.…

    A zombie is “a person or reanimated corpse that has been turned into a creature capable of movement but not of rational thought, which feeds on human flesh.” (Oxford) In the event of a zombie outbreak or apocalypse it would be quite difficult for a person to survive, even for a very short period of time. A person would need to take a large number of variables into consideration in order to survive. He or she would need to have a fair amount of equipment, food, shelter, weaponry, and various bits of knowledge if they wanted to live.…

    So you’ll be left in the dust and die because you could not get to a safe space. Zombie plot-driven novels and films only have a few survivor because they need characters but it would definitely not be like that because the infection would be quick and before we even realize that the virus is spreading we’ll already have it. There will be NO humans left resulting in our whole species to become extinct. We’ll vanish exactly how the Mayans did; without a trace. It will be all because we can’t cooperate, we know nothing about the enemy, and we don’t have enough supplies for all of…

    They “move at a top speed of 2 miles per hour,” which is incredibly slow compared to the average jogging pace, which, according to William McCoy, is between 5 and 6 miles per hour (livestrong.com). Zombies also “decompose over an average of 10 years, which can vary based on environment (slower in cold/dry, faster in hot/wet).” This means that if the Columbia survivors can hold out for 10 years, and we can effectively prevent the spread of the virus, we can assume the apocalypse to be over 10 years after it starts. Therefore, two pillars of our society will be self-sufficiency and prevention of the spread of the zombie…
