Hmmm, zis looks interestink….
OK. First, I take my gun and shoot the fuel line of one of the piled up cars. The zombies hear the gunshot hit the car and go to see what it was. When they get close enough, I light a match, then throw it on the leaked fuel. The car explodes, scattering zombie parts everywhere. I get up, brush off zombie guts(while being somewhat grossed out) and march off to the green zone.

Zombie Survival Game! Test how good you are againt the living dead!
I awoke form my bed and saw broken glass every were. i got up and look out side. Car were fliped upside down, houses borken in, and a pistal at my feet with half ammo. The street light were bent, and the sidewalks were covered in blood. The sun was rissing over the trees, and you could not here a sound. I picked up the pistal and slowly moved out side to see if anyone was left.
first i wuld shoot the guy in the head with my gun i go get out into the ally and go through the fire exits but at each window i would break the glass with my club and get my shot gun ready then i use my army knife to cut a piece of my skin off and trow it at the zombies to keep them entertaind then i would escape
Personally, before I went running down any alleys or wading through water near housing projects, I'd observe them for a precious few minutes. Are we dealing with totally brain-dead Romero zombies? Are we facing an infestation of Return of the Living Dead zombies, who retained their intelligence? Are we dealing with Walking Dead zombies…who were able to track humans using a highly-developed sense of smell? If they're Brian Keene zombies…well…we might as well kiss our asses goodbye. Read "The Rising" and "City of the Dead" and you'll know why.
Either way, survival is hinging on the ability to move while drawing the least amount of attention. Though it's disgusting, I wrap my hand in the dead man's shirt and plunge it into his rotting guts, removing a handful of goo. Choking back the bile rising in my throat, I proceed with rubbing it on my outer layer of clothing…careful to keep it away from my eyes and mouth(just in case). If they're zombies that hunt by smell, this'll buy me some precious time.
3 shells in the rifle. My grandfather's .22 held 25 shells, so I'm going to assume that's the capacity of this rifle and load it full. Gunfire will only give away my position and attract unwanted attention from zombie and human alike…but if I have to use it, I want the damn thing fully-loaded. The .22's effective killing range for vermin is something like 75 yards…that means to effectively destroy a human brain(which would take 2-3 shots), it would have to be much closer…I'd rather not get that close. Not much stopping power to a .22 either…so it'll probably serve me better as a blunt weapon when the time comes.
Take the batteries out of the flashlight, and put them in the radio. I turn the radio off and drop it in the backpack, sling the rifle over my shoulder, slide the swiss army knife in my pocket, the remaining shells go in another pocket and grab the pipe in my right hand. One last glance out the window to see the shambling mass headed my way, then I'm out the back door.
Fuck the "Green Zone". That's just setting up a buffet for these things. I'm not about to get herded in like cattle just to wait for my demise. The safety-in-numbers mentality just makes for a bigger, louder target. Plus, in my approach to the Green Zone, some trigger-happy shooter hopped up on adrenaline could be taking shots at me with a much high caliber weapon than what I have. No, better to avoid large groups of people if possible. I grew up in a military family, and spent a good chunk of my childhood hunting…I'll be just fine on my own.
Peeking around the building, the undead mob is still about a block away. Quickly, but quietly, moving along the back of the buildings I set the radio on the side of the building nearest Market Street. Turning the radio back on, I crank it up(as bait for the zombies) and head back the way I came…away from the Green Zone. I'm getting the hell out of Dodge. Hearing the gunshots and screams are coming from the direction the zombies are headed towards me from…I start headed away, with the buildings to my back. Staying in a populated area is a bad idea. 1)Because all those people are food for the zombies…and potential zombies themselves, 2)Because those zombies are going to be, for all intents and purposes, laying seige to the Green Zone. Rotting corpses carry disease. Diseases spread, get people sick, and ultimately kill them. Those people turn into zombies. 3)Humans get that herd-mentality when in large groups and are prone to panic and screaming. Big no-no.
With the promise of a quick meal quickly faded, the zombies will…most likely…start headed towards either the sound of the radio, or the sounds of combat nearby.
The immediate threat faded, time to start working my way out of the area. I don't move too fast…just fast enough to stay off the radar of human and zombie alike. The inevitable skirmishes with straggler zombies are taken care of as quickly and quietly as possible…using the lead pipe as a bludgeon and refraining from any gunfire to give away my position.
As it starts to get dark, I climb the fire escape of the closest building as quietly as possible. Once on the roof, I make sure not to stand up near any of the edges (so as not to draw any attention). Wedging my lead pipe against the fire door on the roof (to make sure no unwanted guests will take me by suprise), I wait until dark. Plotting tomorrow's route in my head as I listen to the occassional scream or gunshot, and watch scattered fires light the night sky. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to steal a precious hour or two of sleep while propping my back up against the door(just in case the sound of it being forced open…even with the lead pipe wedged against it…wouldn't wake me).
Personal rules in event of zombies:
1. DO NOT start thinking of yourself as Captain Save-an-Idiot and go running into battle to save strangers. Sure, it looks cool in movies, but it's a quick way to get yourself killed. DO NOT save someone who has kids with them. I know, it sounds cold…but remember this: Someone with kids will SCREW YOU OVER in order to save them. Even if you DID save them in the first place. Plus…kid zombies are just creepy. I'd like to avoid them if possible.
2. Light and fast. Sure, we'd all like riot gear armor like that dude in 28 Days Later had…but it's not going to do you a lot of good when it weighs you down to the point that you get swarmed.
3. Get used to the idea of being a nomad for the rest of your life. Assume worst case scenario: civilization's about to collapse. Settling down somewhere you think is safe just gets you careless and sloppy. Eventually, zombies always find you.
4. Guns are fine and all, but they run out of ammo. Find mellee weapons you can use.
5. Head NORTH. Zombies don't have a working circulatory system. Since the body's natural "anti-freeze system" is no longer in effect, cold weather will affect how well they can move.The farther north you go, the colder it gets. You can always steal a coat along the way.
6.Avoid populated/formerly populated areas. If the zombies don't get you, the festering diseases from hundreds or thousands of corpses will.
7. Bring two paperback books with you. You'll need something to occupy your mind during the times you're holed up and can't go anywhere. Any SAFE chance you get, swap those two books out in a store/house/library. But ONLY during daylight and only if it's safe.
Mission 1:
You sigh as you look out of the tattered window in the abandoned flat you've hid in for what seems like 3 hours now. You survey your equipment in your backpack…you have a flashlight with used batteries, a small swiss armyknife, a box of matches, a leaded pipe you decided would make an excellent club, and some instant noodle ramen(3). Your main weapon is a .22 hunting rifle, 3 rounds are inside it right now and you have about 34 rounds in your backpack, pants pocket, and tucked away in your belt. The undead moan as you see them aproaching your location fast. Aproximatly a block or two away. Some small arms fire can be heard, and the common scream. The radio in the house tells you that there is an established "green zone" on Market street. Damn. Market Street unfortunatly is eight blocks into downtown, which is heavly infested with undead, piled traffic, and fires. Luckly you know that theres an alley that can lead you halfway to Market. Then you can either take the main street straight down to Market, or you could wade pass the Hencheson apartment complex and hop out straight on Market. You know that the apartment complex was a low income housing project and is probably filled with people, but hopefully evacuated before hand. The alley has a mass of fireescapes in it, but theres no gureente that the escaping masses haven't blocked that way with traffic. You have to hurry now, the undead are closer and the moans can be heard like a siren. The room has a back exit and the front door, nothing is the flat save the radio and the dead bastard you shot earlier. The dead are getting closer and you count about 54 of them with more coming in from the road, what do you do?
First, I would take a spare pack of Batteries too, my ipod and I'd close the bag and sling it over my shoulder.
I have what I need on in the bag and the lead pole in my hand.
I open my window just enough for me to fit through and climb onto my fire escape.
I climb down the fire escape and head towards the outer reaches of the city, sticking to various Back roads and allys making sure that I'm moving at a steady speed and I'm not looking too inconspicous.
I head past a supermarket and I go in and take a Jacket and notepad and pen and a tent, pay for what I've taken and start on the move again, still heading towards the outer reaches of the city, further away from Market Street.
I'm about 4 blocks away from the outer reach and there's a crowd of either Zombies or People in the next block walking past the ally, I Immediatly slow down and keep moving I come to a tunnel which leads to the city gates, I grab the torch from my backpack and press the button, but not turning it on just incase I need to turn it off fast.
I head threw the tunnel Shotgun is over my left should, backpack over it, lead pipe still in my right hand, I'm threw the gates but i'm not safe yet.
I keep walking down the now abbandoned motorway and there is a wood about half a mile away, I head North towards the wood and I head deep inside until I come to a clearing and I unpack the tent and climb inside, It was then I realised I didn't get a sleeping bag but the jacket was big enough to cover me for the night, I slept for 1/2 hours near the tent entrance the lead pole in my hand jacekt covering me, it and the bag, the rest of the night I'd write my plan for the next day in the notebook.
I'll stay there for the night pack my things and continue north, like Riot said they could't stand the cold and that would be a good place to go and try and survive, but I'd keep moving through cold or colder areas just to be safe.

a box of matches…which while being nervous will shake out my hand and scatter!

and some instant noodle ramen(3)… Well I might as well kiss by butt goodbye because no way I am going to live off of 3 bowls of instant ramen…only works if there is water…hot water! all they will be are crunchy salty maxi pads!!!
Your main weapon is a .22 hunting rifle, 3 rounds are inside it right now and you have about 34 rounds in your backpack, pants pocket, and tucked away in your belt… um…yeah… I can't hit the side of bright yellow short bus! Plus little do you know but bullets are fun accessories!!!!
The undead moan as you see them aproaching your location fast… Hi guys…I'm over here…fat stupid guy with a bunch supplies that would be useful for super-marine, but not me I am fat and stupid!!!!
Aproximatly a block or two away, some small arms fire can be heard, and the common scream… Shut the heck up!!! I am trying to concentrate over here!!!!
The radio in the house tells you that there is an established "green zone" on Market street. Damn…I hate this station…tuning…tuning…oooohhh Ricky Martin!!!!
Market Street unfortunatly is eight blocks into downtown, which is heavly infested with undead, piled traffic, and fires… and prostitutes…hmmmm.
Luckly you know that theres an alley that can lead you halfway to Market… um…yeah alley with zombies… I'm stupid but not that stupid
Then you can either take the main street straight down to Market, or you could wade pass the Hencheson apartment complex and hop out straight on Market. You know that the apartment complex was a low income housing project and is probably filled with people, but hopefully evacuated before hand… yeah, my cousin lives there… and you could drop a bomb on that place it wouldn't evacuate! I wonder if he has hot water
The alley has a mass of fireescapes in it, but theres no guanrentee that the escaping masses haven't blocked that way with traffic… who the heck put all these cars on the fire escapes?!?!
You have to hurry now, the undead are closer and the moans can be heard like a siren… shoot!!! the po-po!!
The room has a back exit and the front door, nothing in the flat save the radio and the dead bastard you shot earlier… the beeyotch had it coming…I gots to git paid!!!
The dead are getting closer and you count about 54 of them with more coming in from the road, what do you do?… smear some blood over my face from the dead cracker on the floor…tear my clothes…but stylishly…then act like I am eating the guy as the zombies enter the door…as they try to get some I slip from the crowd and mossy down the street…to the projects carry my boom box radio listening to Ricky Martin!!!!
Living La Vida Loca!!!!!
I would do is this…
Stay Calm.
Take stock of the corpses possessions, make sure it is totally ded…carry it with me up the fire escape…
I would look out carefully from the roof top and find the Least congested path from My location to the Target area…(green zone)
then I would Set the corpse on fire and drop it into the biggest oncoming crowd of zombiez…useing this hopefully effective diversion, I would make a fast and careful effort to gain as much ground as possible in the opposite way of the flameing corpse diversion.
Hopefully the streets are not completely packed, I would stalk behind Obstacles up the road, going fast or slow, depending on the Zombie Movements…
Again, the Roof top observation would be the Key to all of this.
I would not piss around when one would attack and I would aim for the Head.
37 bullets should get me a long way, if I am careful.
If I did fall into another big batch o ded men, I would fall back a bit use my flash light as a Diversion, perhaps by
1) throttling it into a building
or
2) tieing it with a ript off part of my shirt dangling off an over hang so that it would move and cast light wildly.
next, I would just try to gain as much ground as possible useing Every possible Diversion.
move/hide
move/hide
I would just get to the green zone alive with out a bite.
if not…well, guess that is just one more zombie.
