A mall. Obviously not a great survival choice, but it sure would he fun!
Yeah but this is the 2020s, malls are dead and pathetic.
The Rockies. There’s already a low population in a lot of areas, millions of acres set aside as wilderness, fresh water and game, wood, steep terrrain, fire lookouts/ranger cabins/cabins/abandoned mines. Winter show would also slow/hinder zombies and make for an easier kill. The downside is that I know I wouldn’t be the only one and the main threat would be all the other backcountry survivalists heading for the hills and defending their resources.
I choose to secure all of North America.
any, I’m gonna say the Fortress of Solitude from Superman
hold up
And a bone apple tea to you!
A shopping mall, so I can pick up a flashlight, duct tape some jewelry on it and use it as a lightsaber
Nuclear powered carrier ship in the middle of the ocean.
You’re gonna run out of supplies eventually.
Depends on the amount of people and the size of a ship
You know how to run those?
I bet there’s a manual somewhere on the ship.
Yeah probably, it’s only thermonuclear science
Just nuclear. No fusion power happening on a boat yet.
How hard can it be?
a 1950s school building. they were built like castles. have wide open lawns and high towers. windows were at least a story above grade, and the glass had that mesh embedded inside.
any windows or doors that are at grade can easily be barricaded or already are with high grade steel cages.
bonus if there’s an internal courtyard that can be used as a field for growing crops, water retention area, and just an outdoor exercise area.
schools already have a cafeteria and kitchen, showers, fitness and entertainment, first-aid and medical, an entire library, science/biological labs. many schools have also been retrofitted with solar panels as well.
a school is really the best place to hold up for any kind of natural disaster.
Super weird when someone posts what is likely a random stock photo of a place you went to school.
are you a hairy wizard?
Any location? An automated Oneill cylinder.
I got an old abandoned insane asylum on the top of a hill next to a naturally occurring spring kinda near me. You really couldn’t ask for a better location. Farm on the roof.
A bridge. Destroy the entrance on both sides, build a draw bridge in its place. This is assuming youre not worried about human enemies, which are always the real threat.
There was a movie/TV show where the character was hunkered down in a wind turbine. Always thought it was a clever idea.
Look, I need to spend my efforts on the toxicity and climate collapse apocalypse. I would WELCOME zombies at this point.
An island? Seems like a great way to isolate yourself from the masses
I don’t know, the old zombie flick ‘Shock Waves’ (1977)… Not typical zombies but it made the island approach seem a little less viable to me. It’s still better than my default choice of a mall.
World War Z, the book, proved this wrong.
If I can automatically secure the location, then I pick the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
Ok. But why?
A highly secure remote location that I’m sure has some kind of bunker, no shortage of guns. A good place to start looking for what caused the zombies and how to cure them.
Having access to all the other secrets they keep is icing on the cake. I don’t know how much I can get into without passwords but if I can tap into satellites or send messages to spies, that’s also useful.
