Im an FBI and a former marine so first I would go get my m1 carbine then get my glock18 then get my crowbar I would then pack canned food,bottled water and ammunition in my backpack I would then rally my old military friends and take me and my group to the rocky mountains(which are about 12 miles from me)in my offroad jeep. Once supplies are low we will head to an airport get a helicopter and my friend jaden who is a helicopter pilot will fly us to a remote island far away from any civilization and if a helicopter or plane flew over I would pop 1 of my signal flares and if that does not work we will live off the islands fruits and vegatables for 5 years then my group will head back to america and since its been 5 years most zombies will have rotted away but we will stay alert. We would then fortify an abandoned military base and search for survivors and form a colony everyday I will send scouts to get supplies and get information about evacuation sights.
Once all the zombies rot away we will be able to go place to place safely and live our lives.
I would survive quite easily I kill everything that's not human within 500 yards of my house. Erect vehicle traps, landmines, trenches, and no man's land to make my house a bunker gather a group of people. Mostly friends.
Half people stay home, half people go with me to loot stuff while its still free. When we have enough stuff move somewhere safer.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
