Blogpost 6: Zombie Breakdown Places to Survive

BEST PLACES TO GO

        We all know that zombie apocalypse are possible according to my succeeding blogs. We should be now aware that we need to do something when that calamity comes. It is not being exaggerated, It is being prepared. Skills are not enough to survive in a zombie apocalypse breakdown. A person who has the skill to kill zombies cannot also survive if the place he/she is taking is hiding a swarm of zombies and the survivors are not aware of. So, In this blog I will list down some places that a person can hide without any harm. According to an article entitled, Ten Best Places to Hide in a Zombie Apocalypse by Marcia Sullivan, there are plenty of places where can people hide.

        1. An Island

        2. A Tree House

        3. An Underground

        4. A Military Base

        5. A Prison Base

        6. An Offshore Drilling Platform

        7. A Riverboat

        8. An Old Fort

        9. A Zoo

        10. A Subway

An Island. When the time comes and you noticed that the people around you are not so friendly now because they were infected. An island is a best spot for you and for the other survivors. There are still no evidence that a zombie can operate a boat, yacht or a ship and zombies cannot totally SWIM in a sea or ocean. The article also commend to choose an island which is less populated. Less populated islands have a big chance that there are a little number of zombies wandering around the island. It provides less effort on wiping out the zombies throughout the sand of the island.

A Tree House. It is less convenient than an island You need to go down to look and hunt for food in order to survive. But, Some trees produce fruits and forests provides habitat for wild animals that can be eaten (if your tree house is in a forest). The Southerners long time ago ate squirrels coming from trees for them to survive. So, people can also do the same way like what Southerners did. There are lot of ways for people to survive in a forest. Survivors should take the risk to eat what they will see that is edible for humans.

An Underground. You could bore a path with your friends and neighbors or some people that you trusted most or accompany some survivors into an underground which has been made before. You can live there without going up but you've to go to scavenge food that you will eat and get things that you will need like water, medicine, first aid kit, etc. If you are living in a large city, you will assume that there are many zombies and the needs you want will be scarce. This place is applicable if you have enough supplies to use when you are there and live down there as long as you can and then take your chances.

A Military Base. This place have many advantages. Namely, Weapons. Also, there will be foods that have been supplied for the trainees and military men and surely there you will find k-rations. When you ran out of supplies, you could use the tanks provided by the base. Some military bases have land-plowed gardens in which they grow vegetables to eat. The only disadvantage of this place is the military guys that doesn't want you to get in. They will just let you eaten by zombies to assure their own safety.

A Prison Base. It is a view of the film The Walking dead. Since, the prisoners cannot go out in this kind of place. The zombies cannot also go in. It is just like a military base. It provides food, weapons and produces rations. It is enclosed by fencing to keep the zombies out.

An Offshore Drilling Platform. It is a good idea from a friend of the author. People here are so lucky in case of a zombie apocalypse. They were far from the cities. They can make communication easily. In this kind of place, there will be a shortage on supplies. Since it has in the sea, it has unlimited foods that can they get from the sea such as fish and other sea foods.

A Riverboat. This place is not a bad idea. We are now ascertained that the zombies is a not a good swimmer.But, the problem is what if the power or the battery of the boat runs out? You will have to go into the shore where the zombies are waiting. It depends. You can choose to aboard in a fully populated zombie shore or into the shore which have lesser population. In case you don't have enough food, you can fish for food.

An Old Fort. This place were well fortified at once. So, you should be able to shore up any breaks in the wall. Some forts are near the ocean. It has the advantage because of the sand surrounding each forts. The sand may be a very hard terrain for the zombies to navigate. You'll have plenty of time to get ready for them.

A Zoo. This might be a bad idea if you initially think. But, As we all know, some of the animals needs an enclosed pasture to live and grow food. Obviously, you can also eat those animals. The buildings are attached to the fenced area which can be as your living area. If you can fortify the doors and gates, a zoo is a best place to hide in.

A Subway. It is surely a very dark place. But it is easy to barricade the entrance of a subway and zombies cannot in. But, It is not good in terms of supplies. Because, you need to go out to get and hunt for food. But the author said that he commends to use an island instead.

WORST PLACES TO GO

        If you're happy now, there is sadness later. If you're lucky now, there's bad luck later. If there's a male, there's a female. If there are problem, there are solutions. Everything has its opposite side. So, If we have the Best Places to Go, in this article we have the Worst Place to Go. It is not enough that we have knowledge on where is the safest place but we also know where are the places that people should not go. In my further research, The website www.roadtickle.com provides an article entitled, The Worst Places to Be In a Zombie Apocalypse which give information about on how or where we should not go.

        1. Hospital
        2. In A Traffic Jam
        3. Skyscraper
        4. A Mall
        5. An Airplane
        6. Stadium/Movie Theater

Hospital. It is a place where sick people came. because it is where typically started. More and more people come in to the hospital, the more zombies will come out. Some stories said that if a person will die in a zombie apocalypse it will automatically turn into a zombie. It is not safe to go into an hospital.

In A Traffic Jam. The number one rule is to avoid places where can you be surrounded, boxed in or places that there is no avenue to escape. Some zombies are easily to outrun but in case you were surrounded by them, it's a GAME OVER. In a traffic jam, you will be surrounded by some infected commuters. you will think that you're safe inside a car, hell no! Zombies will just moving around your car and try to let you go out.

Skyscraper. You will took that this place is a good place to hide because you are high from the ground and just look through the zombies eating other people but it's not. Apparently, you will go down. In case you will go down many zombies will face you and greet you. Since the elevators are not working in that time, you will need to take the stairs and zombies will surely get you there.

A Mall. A mall seems a great place for survival because they got all for you such as supplies, foods and medicines. Suddenly, malls are not a good place to hide. Many people are going to a mall for some reasons and in case of zombie apocalypse a mall is one of the most zombie-populated place. So, zombies can eat you easily.

An Airplane. It has limited space but more population. In case that the pilot will turn into a zombie, you will surely die because they were the one who control the flight.In an airplane, the only place you can hide is the bathroom and the pilot's den. But in some time, the zombies will just go in the door and start to smash it until it breaks.

Stadium/Movie Theater. This places is populated. Many people will turn into zombie there There a lot of possibility that the people will just killed and eaten by the zombies. In some time it will be crowded and people will hardly go out because of the fire exits or exit doors.

        For my conclusion, your safety depends on how you are thinking. You should know where to go and where you shouldn't. The most populated places are the most dangerous because of its high chances to spread the infection of the zombies fast than to other places which is more wide. Zombie Apocalypse is unexpected. So, We should be prepared on the things that may happen. Keep safe and be prepared!
