What to Expect

Well you already know what to bring, who to bring and how things might start so now you're probably wondering what you can expect when you dive into this thing called the survival game........and what kind of zombies will populate the now infested world, well movies have taught me that there are many types of possibilities, some better than others....and here they are;

The No-brainers; This is probably the type of zombie that you WANT to populate your zombie apocalypse. why, you might ask but the answer is simple, these types of zombies are stupid, they are slow, they are stiff plus they mumble brains wherever so it's pretty easy to spot one of these suckers. These types of zombies would be more common to a voodoo type of outbreak.....plus they might break into dance unexpectedly.

The Sprinters These are exactly the opposite to the no-brainer meaning that these suckers are VERY fast, combined with the fact that they don't need to breathe, meaning  no fatigue, they are the most dangerous. These zombies are relentless, they will follow you until you shoot them dead or take off their head so do that as quickly as you can, always making sure to remain safe from infection. These type of zombie are the most commonly known since they are easily the most depicted in the media right now.

The freaks; Okay this one is, in my thoughts, up for debate but one can't help but think that way since most people think mutation means some sort of superpower or something. If the zombie apocalypse IS caused by some sort of virus then I think it's more than possible that there are some mutations depending on the subject....maybe not to the range of L4D or RE but definitely something might occur though that might not mean an advantage to the zombies so I don't know....have to wait for that to happen.

Well that's the basic list I made....maybe some other sort of type eluded me but it doesn't matter because I'm going to tell you MY hypothesis into what a typical zombie will be like;

I believe that the most probable zombie will be a mixture of all of them basically. I believe that a body contaminated by the zombie virus has to be functional to become a zombie, meaning that the person has to be alive when infected and the VIRUS has to kill them, not being gnawed on by zombies. I think of it this way, the virus needs a live body to infect since it needs to spread and infect other cells before it can take over and it can't do that if the body is dead, and even if it did it would be inconsequential since an eaten body would not be useful at all. Now let's say that the virus found a healthy(meaning not mangled or eaten in half) body that it has turned into a zombie, I believe that that zombie will be a sprinter. This zombie will be a sprinter, killing and infecting others as the body slowly decays since the virus will probably just reanimate the brain as the whole body dies, slowly but surely it would begin to turn into a no-brainer....minus the mumbling part and then finally, the body has become so stiff that the zombie can't move it. Also there'd be a sprinkling of freaks here and there....just like high school, but ultimately I think the zombie apocalypse will just be a fight for time until nature kills most, if not all, the zombies.

Well I hope these helps you to better understand zombies yet when the zombie apocalypse happens I urge to take investigation into your own hands, also; here's the trailer for the movie "28 Days Later" which I enjoyed...though the people aren't actually zombies;

WATCH OUT FOR ZOMBIES!

Here's how it starts!

Okay, people often ask me(No they don't) how the zombie apocalypse would start if such a thing were to occur and I have to say then that there is NOT a single proven way for it to begin but various hypothesis;


The Outbreak; The outbreak begins as a disease, a quickly spreading virus that if you're lucky, won't be airborne. The disease is quickly spread, through saliva or overall bodily fluid contact.....that's right, beware of the zombie semen, and the symptoms that this outbreak would entail would be a high fever, people would start shivering and sweating profusely, they would grow pale in color and they're body would turn cold. Coughing, bleeding from the orifices(especially nasty), delirium, stiffness of the body...these are all sure signs that the person has been infected by the Z-Virus(I know it's a stupid name but for the sake of the argument just go with it) This is the most common conceptions of how the Zombie Apocalypse will begin.


The viral weapon; This one is all about government conspiracies, let's just say(and I'm not saying it) that a certain government from a certain country, might or might not be perfecting viral weaponry that they might test on their citizens, if such a thing were to happen you KNOW that they'd get their hands on there quick, probably killing everybody to bury the evidence but again, that might or might not happen but remember that you didn't read about it here!


The Rage; These are not actual zombies but they have the same overall effect, these are people who have become sick which makes them highly volatile and dangerous. This one is also a disease, spread through contact with fluids so again, beware the........you know....


The Voodoo; This one is just plain magic so in my thoughts this is the least likely to occur, probably some pissed off broad wants to get back at her man for cheating on her so she picks up a voodoo book that her mom gave her for christmas and voila, she sees a spell for reviving the dead so she decides that she'll scare him. Needless to say she loses control and dooms us all....damn broads. These type of apocalypse is different in the fact that the dead actually come back to life, meaning that its not a virus but that the dead ACTUALLY come back to life so a bit or a scratch is no concern and the only thing you'd have to worry about is an infection.


The Actual Apocalypse; We'll here we're pretty much fucked since well, its an actual apocalypse. The dead would come back to life and they would be more than the living etcetera etcetera...you know, biblical stuff.


So here you go, hope you enjoyed the list and remember to comment with any suggestions you might have!

Also, If you haven't watched Shaun of the Dead then do so since it shows the funny side of the zombie apocalypse...
