Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

[doubleplusgood]

Missile silo. Underground location with fence around single entrance. Rural location. Comes with one really big weapon.

The Monroeville Mall of course:

Well said!

I am from Pittsburgh, so I am quite familiar with it (Monroeville is a suburb of Pittsburgh). I got my Tekken-butt kicked every weekend there.

For those that do not know, the original DAWN OF THE DEAD mall scenes were filmed in Monroeville mall.

From Wiki:
Dawn of the Dead was shot over approximately four months from late 1977 to early 1978, and was made on a relatively modest budget of about US$500,000. Filming of scenes in the Pittsburgh suburban Monroeville Mall in Monroeville, Pennsylvania was done only when the shopping center was closed for business, roughly between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Director Romero was quoted as saying, "Filming in the mall was hell."

Similarly the nearest city with a FLGS to me is Louisville, KY where the original Night of the Living Dead was filmed. Drive in about every month and a half for things you can't get closer to home, and I've got to say there are parts of that city I swear look like they HAVE suffered a zombie apocalypse.

In general, any place that you have to climb to access. Zombies can't climb. Tree fort, etc.

Also, any place where you can access the second floor, then destroy the stairs. No stairs, no zombies.

Yeah but they can build a mound of Zombies that they can climb up to get you.

Dunno about the rest of you. I'm running to Fort Shafter since I live nearby. Cities? Nah.

Zombies don't turn off stoves, drive cars well, and there's gonna be fire. Run from cities. It's a big fire trap.

Realistically:
The US Marine Armory near my school for a starting point.

Then a quick dash to a sporting goods store, stock up on some basic supplies, then beeline for one of the harbors, jack a decent boat, and sail out a mile or three, put one anchor overboard and hope that the fish aren't too toxic, and that the lake water is safe. Go living in Chicago. Anybody tries to get on the boat I jacked, they got shot or knifed, depending on how frugal with my ammo I'm being. No risking somebody infected getting onboard.

Ideally:
A former ICBM Silo, fully-stocked and specialized to my interests. Or a Nimitz class carrier, with it's task force and supply tenders. Or one of the NORAD mountain complexes.

Off topic: I said something sig-worthy, I'm impressed.

These two things, they don't usually go together, Senor.

Louisville must have be where they made one of the re-makes. The 1968 original was filmed north of Pittsburgh in Butler County.

Thanks,

Islands? Zombies will simply walk there underwater. Not a good idea.

Human bodies get smashed into a pulp or easten by fish in the sea

Why would zombies be any different?

 

[Umbran]

I gotta disagree. I really don't think a zombie could walk there.

Sure they can. The pressure difference doesn't mean much to them - they aren't victim to the pressure problems - their lungs can fill with water, and they can equilibrate to the sea-floor pressure without the ill effects felt by humans. And I, at least, would expect zombie flesh to be deadly poisonous, so they wouldn't get eaten by fish quickly.

And zombies are beyond patient, and into relentless. It being really difficult is not a problem for them - they don't give up whining that it is too hard to walk cross the sea floor. They don't run out of air. They don't need food. They don't get tired. They don't have anything better to do with their time. They just keep coming.

"Can't" isn't in the zombie vocabulary. Not that anything is, of course, but "can't" really, really isn't.

Yes, a major sea floor trench will slow them down, but it won't stop them forever - in fact, sea floor trenches are probably a source of new zombie outbreaks. A few find their way in there, and find their way out decades later.
