Some of those forces were already seen by players)/PCs across the compound but the undead (zombies and such) had not reacted to them.* I pointed out all of the many reasons why this was a colossally bad idea ranging from possible survivors to the necromancer and variety of (un)seen undead likely to react to the recently slain undead the players had already killed and left behind.* Players decided that pulling up the ladder and sleeping on the second floor of the barricaded barn or whatever while knowing A B &C would be more than enough to get back to full. Not only did the players choose to do nothing and finish their rest when they heard noises at the door then heard more noises outside.... They were angry that finishing a long rest on the second floor of an eventually∆ burning barn that had been barricaded from the outside was bad for their health and demanded me to produce a rule for that (debuffs?  Exhaustion? Been a while).  They totally lost their minds when they got outside and found levelup5e squads of zombies presenting an actual threat.∆ wasn't a gotcha, "we finish the rest"> you still haven't finished but smell pitch and know it's sometimes used in arson>ok you ignore the smell and keep resting but you start smelling smoke and think you see/hear fire below>really?  Okayyyy... Having been told the risks you continue on with the rest.  Lucky dice roll you finish but picked y[debuff or whatever].</blockquote>
