Poll: Oh No! You've Been Bitten by a Zombie!

[Dalek Caan]

Screw being a Zombie. Bye Bye world. Enjoy your dose of zombies.

GUYS!!!! Someone HAS to be immune! If it ever actually happens, it will most likely spread through the air, which means anyone who doesn't turn into a zombie immediately is already immune! Also, what if it spreads like any other infection?? TOO MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE KILLED BEFORE WE REALIZED THESE THINGS! Movies and games have conditioned us to believe there is no way to stop the spread of infection, and that the infection would spread incredibly quickly. Don't make assumptions based on television, if there WAS a zombie virus, we WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING about how it actually works unless we tested it.

I always wonder why people assume a zombie virus. No virus could ever live in a dead cell, so after the human died the virus would do so too. I'm writting a zombie fic, and I'm working from a fungus. One that travels to the brain and protects only certain parts while destroying other parts to do so. If this fungus would spread across the entire nervous system it would actually be possible for a rotting body to listen to the brain. Of course such a fungus can never exist, but it feels more plausible then a virus to me.

 

[SemiHumanTarget]

PAAAAAAAAARRRRRRTTTYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i would chop my arm off (the bitten part) and hope
surely it wont spread that fast

 

[dark king 1525]

I'd grab the nearest weapon and try to take out as many zombies before I turn. I'm going out in a blaze of glory!

 

[CatsAttackAgain]

I go into a place of interest for my team and clear it out. Afterwards, go berserk at every zombie within a 1 mile radius with only non essential melee weapons and clothing. If I am still alive and capable of movement, I ask an ally to blow my brains out.
Or I could donate my body as Test Subject 20.

 

[Jessta]

Other, Once I've been bitten I figure I have nothing left to lose so I would go all out and take as many zombies out as I can, hell I wouldn't even have to worry about pain since I know that no real permanent damage can come from it.
I figure if everyone killed one zombie that means if half the world became a zombie right off the bat then it still wouldn't be a problem so if I killed like 10 or 20 zombies then I just made up for 10 or 20 extra people...

 

[Sjakie]

I miss an option:

chop/saw off my arm before the virus can spread deeper into my cardiovascular system, then wait and hope i was fast enough and lucky enough.

 

[NormalityImpaired]

This is what i would do after being bitten:

1)Strap some roller skates to my feet and put all usable possessions in my hold all and strap this to my chest.

2)Write a sign saying something like "it may be the zompocalypse but at least i made you smile, help your self to my stuff" and stick this to my hold all

3)Using permanent marker, draw a target on my head with a bulls eye right between my eye's

4)And finally turn in to a roller skate wearing zombie that won't be able to stand up and give some poor survivor something to smile about shortly before he blasts my zombie brains all over the nearest wall

Six pages of replies so far and i agree with this one the most. Edited it for spelling errors though.

 

[Double A]

Well, if it happens to me, it's from my perspective, so I'm obviously the Main Character, and thus am immune to zombification.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Overdose on LSD before the transformation ends. Bad Trip Zombie awaaaay!

 

[Adrian Neyland]

I will nom on all your BRAINS!!!!!!!!!

 

[Epicspoon]

Well I guess I'd better grab a screen door and start shuffling slowly towards someone's house.

don't bother with my house I have tons of cabbage and giant corn growing on my lawn.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Probably a bullet to the head for me. Once your turned theres no cure for rotten flesh. Maybe afew hours after your bitten you'd have a chance if theres a cure.

 

[Epicspoon]

Well, step one is to bite back.

Well, if a zombie biting a human turns human into a zombie;
then, a human biting a zombie should turn a zombie into a human.

time for a test...

Personally since I am a vampire, I'm pretty sure that I'm immune to the zombie virus. If not, then you better hope I don't find a werewolf. The last thing you want is a zombie-vampire-werewolf running around.

like molly the werezompire? she retained her self control you know.

 

[Max David]

Time to die! Let's do this, brain! Leroy. Jenkins.

this is about as epic as it can get, you'll have to die so no stopping for nothing!
ps: I might just strap on some explosives to take as much rotting corpses with me as posible

 

[Jian-Li]

I'd try to cut off my limb. If I'm still experiencing symptoms an hour later than I'd shoot myself in the head to prevent myself from reanimating.

 

[v3n0mat3]

Well, I can't risk the infection spreading. *Gun to head*

 

[Drakmorg]

My fate is sealed.
Run my friends, I'll distract the horde!

Spoiler: The only way I know how

so "other" I guess...

 

[Michael Hirst]

My arm you say, provided I'm close to something I can burn the wound with I'd chop my arm off above the wound and pray to God shock/blood loss don't kill me.

If not then resort to drugs and other treatments, if they don't seem to work, blow brains out.
