Are zombies really that hard to stop? That's when I started picturing tactics that I would use against an undead assault. Here's the scenario... a mall in New Jersey is under siege by zombies. These are the slow moving, hard to kill, type of Zombies. It's night time, clear weather, wind is 5 MPH from the South East.
You drive a truck through the parking lot, smashing zombies against your windshield. You break through the horde, managing to establish a defensive perimeter at the front of the mall. On the inside of the building, screaming children can be found. They are helpless against the flood of rotting flesh. Only you stand between them and the scourge. A flimsy barricade against the door will not prove to be a lasting defense.
The brief gap that you created through the mob is now closing. You only have time to grab one weapon and hopefully enough ammo to last you through the night. You run to the back of the truck. You grab your gear and a grenade. Lacking an extra hand, you pull the pin with your teeth. You toss the grenade into the back of the truck, sending a fireball into the sky. Burning zombies fall to the ground, giving you enough time to move into a defensive position. Now it is your time to fight back. You look into the distance. The entire parking lot is filled with zombies. There must be a thousand of them.
What did you pull from the truck?
The Rules- Figure that you would need three times the force necessary to kill a zombie that you would need to kill a human. Otherwise, they'd come back to life.
- Severed limbs have a chance of moving on their own if not damaged.
- Sci-fi weapons are not allowed, so no lightsabers.
- You have to protect the children. You can't just nuke the place.
- You can't be bitten. You need a way to protect yourself from being turned.
I grabbed a flamethrower... did I survive the night?
