In a zombie apocalypse, what would be your end game?

In my previous answer I mentioned living vs. merely surviving. My motivation for living would be a huge factor on the next step. For example, if my family and friends were all slaughtered, and my team were all males, I may make it my mission to eradicate the zombie infestation.

Go on the offensive. It'd be doing everyone a favor. Now the common scenario in movies would be the rescue mission.

Gotta find the family. After finding them I would settle down some place. In any case with family, I would probably settle down.So here's a quick glimpse at how I would do it.

Setting: I live in Florida. Many sparsely populated towns, and the ones that are populous, are populated with the living dead already (retirees). I would definitely avoid any major city where MILLIONS of zombies would reside.

Give me a suburb any day. I would find an apartment complex, retirement home or even a mall that had 2 or more stories and a central courtyard or atrium. More floors the better.

Zombies can't fly and they don't climb ladders well. The higher floors are easy to defend and easy to escape from. Having a lot of entrances may seem like harder to defend, but they are actually easy to barricade and you don't want yourself in a situation where you're trapped.

It's good to have several escape routes, zombies don't climb up or down ropes. The atrium/courtyard would be converted into a garden. Don't want zombies trampling your goods, or watching you go outside to work it every day.

A pool would be great too. Not just as water storage, convert that into a pond stocked with fish caught in the wild (remember, in Florida). The rooms would be of great use.

Rest, storage. A mall would have everything you need to be comfortable, except decent weapons. Unless it has an out-doors store, which would be awesome.

But malls tend to get looted first. Apartment/retirement home will have a lot of stuff to raid and would be pretty comfortable for the same reasons.So basically convert an apartment complex/building into a modern day castle would be my idea. If barricaded well, you could have relative safety while you work on sustainability inside.

You could easily house dozens to a hundred people, or defend it with just a handful. Your worst enemy would be other humans. But if you're all enclosed, less exposure outside (they won't know the goods you got inside).

The first place that I would take my team to investigate would be one of the defence contractor buildings in the area. Since I live near Detroit, we have the General Dynamics Land Systems Division Headquarters in the area. As my father retired from there, I have a good idea of the layout of the building.

You have to understand that a building like this would have been braced for any kind of terrorist attack. Communications stations, defence stations, weapons, food storage, and backup safety rooms are all pletiful in a place like this. If we were not able to get in there, I would have t head West in the state.By getting out of the city area, chances would be good that we could find farms quickly where we could regroup, and have natural food reservations for at least a short time.

Also, with less people around, there would be less of a worry for defense. There are a lot of people that would spend time looking for survivors. Little do they realize that this usually turns our wrong.

Survivors will usually slow you down unless you can find the one or two out of a few hundred that would be able to add something to your group. Heading to a place like DisneyLand would be suicide. There would be a high-number of zombies going around there just waiting for some idiot to stumble by.

DisneyLand would be as dead as the rest of civilization. While setting up a compound is a good idea, you need to know where to do it. The average perosn would not look for a secure building to set up shop.

Remember, if a few zombies find out where you are, there are going to be a lot more in a short amount of time. I should point out that if this is a zombie infestation ala Brain Keene's The Rising, you are screwed whereever you go. Intelligent zombies that are actually otherworldly spirits in possession of the bodies of humans and animals would screw up any plans.

In that case, suicide is always the best option.

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.
