Truly I woke up this morning with the date wrong. But then, this seems to be a tradition with the daily videos made by others, so I suppose I should follow suit.
This is really what’s been on my sleep-deprived mind for the last twelve hours or so. I was at the movie theater, and I was coming up with a long-term plan for turning the place into a well-defended fortress, a place where the undead were unlikely to breach and where other survivors might only gain entrance with permission (learning my lesson well from Dawn of the Dead).
I came to an odd conclusion, though. Pretty much, if you’re dealing with early Romero-esque zombies, just about anywhere is safe if you build a five foot wall around it. Slow zombies don’t tend to climb much. Once they make it out of their grave, they drift along level ground. Fast zombies, they climb over barricades in a heartbeat, but slow zombies will just scrabble at a wall for a while, pulling it apart if they can, but otherwise looking for some other way around. Or just standing against the wall, groaning.
So. A five foot wall. Concrete and steel. That’ll keep most of your slow zombies at bay for a while. Plus, it should stop bullets, meaning should you get fire from roving bands of motorcycle meanies, you’ve got some additional protection.
Anyway. Let’s hear what you’d do to fortify your apartments in the comments.
