hold up
And a bone apple tea to you!
Unless their hold is in their castle!
I choose to secure all of North America.
Build the wall!!! Buff ICE! Deport illegal-zombies!!! Oh wait. Different timeline.
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.
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?
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.
Perfect for zombies, then.
any, I’m gonna say the Fortress of Solitude from Superman
There was a movie/TV show where the character was hunkered down in a wind turbine. Always thought it was a clever idea.
Any location? An automated Oneill cylinder.
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 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?
You’re gonna run out of supplies eventually.
Depends on the amount of people and the size of a ship
But most crucially on time. You assume that rescue will come, which isn’t a given.
Assuming zombies are incapable of any higher reasoning, somewhere only accessible by climbing up a ladder or rope.
It works in PZ, it might work IRL.
Lemme grab my sledgehammer.
Climbing or swimming. Steal a luxery yacht and some solar panels, soil, and seeds, and you have a floating homestead.
Read The Zombie Survival Guide for why water isn’t much of a hinderance to zombies.
Zombie Survival Guide
I assume floating, like a corpse? That’s far from swimming though. Also, to get into a ship you generally need to climb a ladder too. It being on the water means it can move though, so you can change locations when needed.
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.
Look, I need to spend my efforts on the toxicity and climate collapse apocalypse. I would WELCOME zombies at this point.
Costco.
Small number of secure entrances. A lifetime supply of batteries and solar kits. Tons of shelf stable food and drink. Clothing. Tacky home decor to make the apocalypse feel more homey.
It would be great.
Fully stocked pharmacy, comfy mattresses, tvs and video games, car batteries and inverters to run the entertainment, and sometimes even citrus trees to prevent scurvy.
Downside is that without power to the building you have a lot of work to do to dump all the fresh food before it stinks up the place. That dairy cooler alone would get disgusting real quick.
luckily they have it all on pallets ready to go for you
It would be great if there wasn’t thousands of other people in your city who had the exact same idea.
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.
