Zombie survival strategy.

First of all, I would like to thank you for choosing my prompt.

Most people have some sort of zombie survival plan. However, they're usually all the same. Raid a gun store, ditch town, hole up in a fort, go for headshots and favor melee weapons. You're already dead with that plan, though.

I have come up with a specific plan meant for myself and some friends with whom I have designed this. So you might see this quite a bit Mr. Logsdon, my apologies.

With Zombies, there are many important things to remember. They are diseased organisms which can infect other organisms through the transfer of bodily fluid, be it Saliva, Blood or anything else (though I doubt anything else would happen with a Zombie). Infection time may vary, responsiveness of the infected may vary, it's all variable outside of the rule of infection.

The infection itself may vary. It could be a parasite, a virus, a bacteria, basically anything. But all living things (that could be any threat) require the brain to function. Remove that, and it'll collapse.

So, now for my plan.

As soon as news reports of zombies start popping up, it's time to assemble. My group will avoid the initial rush of people running to gun stores, grocery stores and out of town. If you get caught in those crowds you'll be screwed. The gun store people might shoot you, and when everyone tries to leave in cars, there's traffic. A lot of traffic. Which is a buffet. So, we'd all head over to a local area that is relatively rural, such as my house. After holing up there for awhile, waiting for the population to decrease, we'll venture out to stores such as Sam's Club to gather necessities.

Once everything is gathered, it's imperative we get a method of transportation secure enough to carry a large enough group. Buses, from the MLK bus station would be superb. Outfit a bike rack big enough for a bike for every man, and we'll be set. We'd have to gather a group of survivors, preferably with an equal gender ratio and with a large enough (but not too large) number. We have to worry about the future, i mean.

Making our way up to New Jersey while avoiding any major metropolitan areas would be a good idea. Once arrived at New Jersey, we take a cargo freighter and go to one of the Greek Isles. They have a stable ecosystem, nice climate and most of all, are separated from any mainland that could have roaming Zombies.
