If it was a crazy 28 days later zombie, then I would have to run. I'd probably smash the window and jump out on the roof, or a ledge, and then shimmy down a pipe. Actually these days the window are all safety ones, and you can only open the window so far. Plus they're double glazed. Wouldnt be very easy to break. Especially in a panic situation.

I think what your thread has highlighted is that we are all hopelessly unprepared for a zombie attack. We need a "What to do when you're approached by a zombie" guide.


Word. Never fear though brethren, there are numerous resources to help us prepare for this eventuality.

Home | Zombie Preparedness Initiative

I haven't the material yet but this article caught my eye "Martial Arts, The Undead and You: Hand to Necrotized Flesh"....(yeah I'm lookin' at you CaptainHairyNeck )

Take this quiz to assess how ready you are for the inevitable zombie attack.

What Are Your Chances of Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse?

Inquiring minds want to know.

For an extra challenge, lets say the Fast Moving ones.

Alright. *rubs hands*

I live in a condo, jumping out the window would be suicide (although prolly preferable to being gnawed to death).

That leaves me one option.........fighting my way past the zombie and hightailing it outta there. How would I accomplish this?

Easy. Either I would run into the dead bastard and put my shoulder into his chest (bowling him over football style) or do a thai front/push kick and get enough room to run past it. Once in the hallway I would grab any innocent bystanders and put them in the zombie's path to buy some time while I escape. (Hey, I'm no hero lol)

I'm in my office right now, so I'd shove past it and lock it in here, then go and press my panic button so the security guys can come up here (along with the Police and Fire departments) and take care of it. Then I'd go home early.

If the zombie got past security...

...Security is probably zombified by now.

There's more than one entrance to the college.

But you're right. In that case, I'd press the panic button regardless to summon the cops and fire department. Then I'd jump out the window and still go home early.

I'd probably say "Where have you been all my life, Zombie?" and then start making out with it.

Going home early is worth going through a zombie attack, imo.

I think so too. I keep hoping for one, but to no avail.
Maybe tomorrow.

28 days later zombies are terrifying they run and are clever and run after light, they're Nearly as bad as the 'I am legend' zombies.

First thing that came to my head tho were the saun of the dead zombies They're dumb.

oh, what would i do? I'd jump out the window and land on a car bonnet. Always wanted to do that

I Am Legend zombies were weak. The 28 Days Later ones were the worst, they even inspired Resident Evil to go from slow moving ones to fast ones. The ones in I Am Legend were basically human beings only feral.

the ones in I am legend just LOOKED more real, they weren't just blood and gore and a little crooked..the way they BREATHED

Did the 28 day zombies eventually fight the light of day? I recall them running across a field..maybe in 28 weeks later.
