You vs. the Living Dead...

Antediluvian · Post by **Antediluvian** » 2003-01-09 06:56pm

I posted this on SB a while back, and basically the scenario is this:

The dead are rising ala George Romero's Dead Trilogy and seeking human victims.

So what would you do in response to this situation? What would be your first course of action?

Me, I'm heading for the nearest boat and finding a nice quiet island to weather the storm.

It would involve lots and lots of ammunition, If I had any resource I wanted at my disposal I'd get a squadron of Apaches roaming the countryside looking for reopened graves.

And i'd set up a ranch like then end of the remake, and torture the fuckers.

Run the half a block to our friendly undr-guarded army barracks and armoury.

Get myself a good 4WD vehicle, enough guns and ammo to occupy Stalingrad. Grab as many MREs or similar as I could carry to the vehicle. A good satellite phone/radio. Then head for the mountain (Mt Wellington which is about half an hour from city-centre to the summit by vehicle). It has a great building on top of it with commanding views of the city and access routes up the mountain, plus woodfires etc...

Course of action
1) Secure a vehicle.
2) Get as much petrol as possible and as many milk bottles and glass drink bottles as possible....
3) Start mixing cocktails....1 for me and 1 for them....and repeat.....
4) Get out some of the more intresting items, a couple of flails (great for skull smashing) and my heavy quarterstaff....
5) ram raid some place that sells lighters....
6) Start using molotovs to wipe the buggers out.

Weapons secured from armoury...

Steyr AUGs
Minimis
M2 Browning
Pistols - various types
SLRs
Grenades
Demolition equipment
Claymores
ammo, lots and lots of ammo.

Once up the mountain (grab buds who live en route(.

Set up perimeter with claymores and other traps.

Set up .50cal covering the main approach.

Secure a good escape route (across the mountain, down the "back" side of it, then to one of the smaller towns, grab one of the moored boats and make for the mainland)

Attempt to contact people using radio/phone communications.

Hold out...

I commandeer one of the nearby destroyers and wait out the storm.

That involves getting too close for comfort. We all can't be Bruce Campbell

Something with good range, repeating, and makes a big boom is good enough.

Operation "Black Babylon"
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

This operation is an emergency procedure in the case of a Living dead rising. The procedure is to capture and secure weapon/ammo stocks and mechanical transports.

1. Gather a crack team of hunters and ganstas.
2. Give them guns from my and kevin's arsenal.
3. If the rise begins in school hours, secure as much as Chicks as possible. Shoot all oposition.
4. Head to the nearest port and hijack a ship. If impossible, establish a stronghold in a secure building without alot of windows. Gather all uninfected personel and civillians, if possible.
5. If captured boat, gather best hunters, scientists, chick and strategists and Invade the Dowker island, kill all opposition.
6. Secure and "harden" the island. Every deceased member is decapitated and incinerated.
7. Send a crack team to the dorval airport to secure helicopters and fly them to the base.
8. Send regular raids for ammo, fuel, food and equipment. Military depots, army surplus and hunting shops have priority.
9. Seek contact with other groups of survivors with radios.
10. Bomb zombie nests with napalm using the helicopters.
11. SURVIVE.
12. When possible, send Elite Commando Crack Team secure the house at http://www.silohome.com.

Seeing as how I plan to be the source of any and all zombie outbreaks, my intended course of action mainly involves me standing at the top of my obsidian tower, surrounded by my unholy minions, gazing out over the wasted, decaying land laughing.

Laughter is good for the soul.

The biggest mestake made in the first movie was that they aloud a large number of dead to collect around the house over the coarse of severial hours. Kill them with baseball bats or sturdy clubs as they arive in groups of 2-3 and their numbers will never get to a dangerous level

1. The dead are slow and uncordinated a good baseball bat or 2x4 is all you need to kill groups of up to 5-6 depending of how spread out they are/
2. Find an insomniac they can stay awake for a few days and stay aleart for severial days to keep watch while others sleep.
3. Find a truck preferably a 4x4. somthing that can drive over the dead with no damage to the vehicle.
4. group together with others and pool your resorces and manpower. REJECT ANYONE WITH NOTHING TO OFFER TO THE GROUP.
5. Drive bye Firebomb any close funeral homes. their corpes will be the quickest but may take severial days to free themselvs from their coffins.
6. big citys would be a much better place to be than were portrayed in the movies. there are few if any cemetarys in them so the living/dead ratio would be quite faviorable.
7. find a large secure strucre to fortify. A school would be ideal due to their often being desigined as bomb shelters. Also has a large kitchen and dineing area. Most schools also have gates to close off unneeded areas to make fortifying easier in the begining when your numbers are low. If school buses are on premises they will also make excellant suply vehicles
8. procede to build a small army of 50-100 people depending on the size of your fortress.

I dig the way you and your friends think!

Personally, an attack by the Living Dead would drive me insane. I think a M4 Sherman mounting a chain flail anti-mine device would be groovy, just look out for splatter.
