We've already minutely discussed this topic, but I wanted to re-amp it a little. To further explain it.
This is a no-brainer. You gotta hole up somewhere eventually, but pick carefully. Let's say that the outbreak is localized to your city, but you know that the neighboring town is zombie-free. Flee to the neighboring town. I know this sounds obvious, but don't sit around waiting for grandma to bite you. Get to the safe town, find a gun store, and join the Minuteman Militia.
But that isn't much fun, so let's think about what you'd do if the whole country is overrun. Since you already did your prep work, make a bee line for the WalMart you picked out earlier. (again, make this a this-is-the-place-we're-going-or-we're-all-gonna-die sort of pick) And since we're on the subject, malls are a bad place to hole up in. Too many entrances, and not enough goodies for long term survival.
In short, pick a new general merchandise or grocery big box store. You get lots of canned food to eat, and only one or two large entrances to guard.
But let's not forget your awesome hiding spot, correct? a reader of mine asked, "what if you tell your friends/family and they turn into zombies and come after you in your hiding spot. Which got me thinking. While that is a possibilty, (and one i should've thought of) I came to this conclusion:
Zombies are stupid. They won't chase after one person when there's plenty of yummy brains to go after all over the world.
Let's say, for arguements sake, that the zombie DOES come after you because you told it's unzombiefied body where you'd be hiding. So, you're eating cookies and milk while watching the news on TV about how the world is coming to an end... When all of a sudden you're zombieifed boyfriend/girlfriend comes bardging into your secret lair. The answer is simple. Kill it. You've previously stocked up on guns/ammo/bowws and arrows. so your set. Don't give shooting it's ass a second thought.
Oh, he got you pregnant? Looks like your baby ain't gonna have a daddy. Shoot him in the brains!
Wait, you got her pregnant? Two birds with one stone then. Shoot her in the head. If you let her go and manage not to get bitten, the baby will also be a zombie- there's nothing for you to do.
I know this sounds heartless. I don't want to kill my boyfriend either. But it's a Zombie-eat-Man world out there; and I plan to survive.
