I’m pretty sure that everyone is familiar with the classic George A. Romero zombie movies: "Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn of the Dead", "Day of the Dead", "Land of the Dead", and "Diary of the Dead". A zombie apocalypse can be quite a fun challenge to survive when you compare it to other apocalypses such as natural disasters and cosmic disasters, the slow zombies really aren’t so bad after all. This is a fun fictional scenario: If the zombie apocalypse was happening and you were in NYC, what to do? How to survive?
Things You’ll Need:
Steps
1. Find 4-5 people whom you can trust and are willing to work together.
2. Gather up lots of guns, ammunition, and some very big explosives.
3. Steal a boat and head over to (but don’t dock there just yet!) Roosevelt Island – This is going to be your new home and sanctuary in the zombie apocalypse, folks. It’s a tiny island situated between the boroughs of Queens and Manhattan, it stretches from about 42nd street to 86th street and is about three blocks in width. It is its own little community but with everything you need: Apartments, condos, drug stores, supermarkets, swimming pools, supplies, etc.
4. It’s time to seal off our sanctuary in order to prevent additional zombies piling in and then take care of the ones left inside. In “Dawn of the Dead”, they used trucks to block the entrances of the shopping mall and used a car to navigate around on the inside to finish the remaining undead off. Here, the first thing you’ll need to do is take out the Roosevelt Island bridge that leads into Queens. You’ll need to level this structure from your boat, rig the explosives al around the underbelly of the bridge itself. Mind you, it’s a very small bridge.
5. One entrance down, and one to go: The subway station. Now that you’ve taken out the bridge, no more zombies can come into the island from above ground. However, they still have access from the subway underground (remember the bunkers in “Day of the Dead”?). So this is going to be a little more risky because you and your team is going to have to set foot on the island in order to do this. Steal and hot-wire a car on the island, one person will drive and the other will shoot. The car will be used as a decoy to get as many zombies as possible away from the train station so that the remaining three team members can rig it. Once the decoy is successful and there’s few zombies around the area, have either one or two members stand guard while the other one sets up the explosives. This will be very easy to level because the actual train tracks is located past two very long escalators beneath the ground while the entrance is up top.
6. Now that you’ve sealed off the entrances, take care of the remaining zombies on the island. It’s a small place and it’s not like we’re talking about Manhattan here. I’d say give or take 200 zombies or so. You’ll get ‘em easy.
7. Well, now that you’ve set up shop and took care of the lifeless corpses. Start living it up on Roosevelt Island… that is, before the zombies begin to learn how to walk underwater(!).
Tips
Keep the helicopter and boat at the island at all times in the event of an emergency that will require you to evacuate (looters anyone?).
