You’re at home when you see on the news that there is a confirmed zombie outbreak in all major cities in your home country. Your country is the origin of the outbreak. You’re home alone and cannot get into contact with your family, friends, anyone. You have no clue where they are, if they’re dead, etc. You can wait home if you’d like but that is risky of course. Your devices still have WiFi and cellular connection though for the time being. You find out about the apocalypse on the earlier side; some people know and believe it, but not many. Throughout these first 24 hours is when it gets very chaotic; by the end of these 24 hours, everyone believes and is actively trying to prepare and it essentially becomes anarchy. The zombies themselves travel in small packs, have average human level strength, and they can move at jogging speed. They are similar to TWD zombies such that they only die to intense brain damage and also that one zombie can last for years whether it eats or not
This is the general timeline of how this plays out:
Hour 0 - When you figure it out. Only some people know
Hour 24 - Everyone in the world knows about the apocalypse even if it hasn’t reached them yet. The apocalypse has spread to neighboring areas to the cities it originally broke out in. Not yet the full country though
Day 2 - It has fully spread across your country. Most roads are blocked by this point except for some very wide major highways and off road trails
Day 7 - The outbreak is now fully worldwide
Day 10 - Cell towers go down
Day 14 - All energy infrastructures go down. If you’re still at home, you only have power if you have solar panels or some external power source that does not rely on your areas local power
How would you prepare for the outbreak? Would you go out and buy supplies? Stay home and turn your house into a fortress?
Please be reasonable… Do not assume you can get anything you want from any store at any time. Not at first, but eventually many others will be trying to prepare just like you and places will get completely raided and fights will likely happen. Have fun answering!
