So you want a scenario? You're at work, your kids (if applicable) are at a babysitters when first reports roll in of people who were killed by a mysterious virus climbing out of morgues. However, their brains have already begun to decay, so they are essentially animals, with only the vague memory of the power of a human brain, so they lust after it, thinking that eating one will return sentience. However, they're also hungry, so they'll eat anything that bleeds. The disease is spreading fast, but it's undetectable until death, so you or anyone around you may be infected. Use what you'd have and do what you'd do in such a situation.
You had to put me at work, didn't you? At school would be so much better.
Right. If it's a nice day, I've got one Harley and not much else. It's a beeline run for the house.
At the house I collect all that junk dad gave me and my guns, dump the Harley and get my truck. Now it's time to get Greeneyes and head for a more deserted area. I don't care how good you are, enough people will overwhelm you eventually. From here... Hm. I would say Land Between the Lakes. It's the closest bit of empty land that can support life indefinitely.
That stuff my dad gave me will supposedly keep four people alive for ten days. (Yes, dad is a pessimist who thinks Something is going to happen any day.) I know that it has a tent, MREs, water purifying tablets, and basic supplies. It also has the only two things anyone really needs to survive:
The Army Survival Manual and a K-Bar knife with sheathe and stone.
After that, it's a matter of waiting it out. Set up a camp, set up security and wait.
If this is a disease, it's going to burn out eventually and sooner or later the zombies will run out of food or be destroyed. The trick is to stay alive until then. If that is going to take a long time; a year or more, then other considerations crop up.
At some point, I'll have to find a place to hunt a few of them. What kills them? Is it like Night of the Living Dead, where only a head shot kills them? Do I need to burn them to nothingness? Is it all about dismembering them?
After I can kill them, a trip to the hospital or a hospital supply shop is on the list. How is this disease transmitted? Is it a blood borne pathogen? Airborne? Whatever it is, I need to know, along with what kills the virus. That means microscopes, and a class four isolation kit. Until I know for certain, I'll treat it as an Airborne Ebola. Finding the supplies for that will be a pain, but not nearly as big a pain as capturing and containing a subject. Several subjects actually.
