"Hello, while I'm not much of an expert on surviving in the wilderness when under zombie attack, I managed to find someone who is."
*Harold Turns and Motions Over Lorenzo From The Ridonculous Race*
"Thankfully Lorenzo here is an expert in these thanks to his video game experience. Lorenzo be a dear and walk everyone through how to survive in the apocalypse and also show off some zombie killing moves!"
"Will do Harold!" says Lorenzo as he waves to everyone.
"Welcome everyone to my story: Surviving A Zombie Apocalypse the Lorenzo Way!"
*Lorenzo Steps Up to A Microphone Placed on the Edge Of A Building's Roof*
What to do in the unlikely, but not impossible, scenario of a zombie apocalypse running its way over the entirety of the world's population. First up, we get the hell out of Dodge in a hurry! Gather up only unperishable food items and a few handheld weapons. We make a beeline to the countryside, sticking around in the city will either see us swarmed immediately or trapped with no hope of escaping. Once in the rural areas, we stick to foot travel as driving a vehicle any longer will not only be noisy but also consume limited gas resources. Still, we could siphon the remaining gas tank contents to use as a fuel source for a fire just in case. Once in the countryside, we'll want to pick a secluded spot, preferably in a mountain range or an isolated valley tucked away down a beaten path. Once here, we want to set up a defensible perimeter akin to sturdy walls, giving off the appearance of a fort, complete with a few guard towers to watch for the approach of any unwanted intruders, whether alive or dead. But we'll also want to set up a few barricade traps on the approach to buy us those few precious seconds that could make the difference between making it out alive or going down in a blaze of glory. Once the home base is operational, we need to start prioritizing developing our food resources, including growing crops and finding a freshwater source. Without a sustainable source of food and water, we won't be able to survive. While doing that, we'll also want to set up some target practice areas and a training gym. This will help train our bodies to be better at not only fighting off zombies but also invading marauders. Training your aim will also help in those situations where melee just isn't gonna cut it and you need to take down those flesh-eating meatbags with some well-placed head trauma! Once the home base is operational, and you have multiple exit strategies prepared just in case the loss of the home base becomes a distinct possibility, you will need to venture out whether to hunt something to supply yourself with fresh meat or fur for potential clothing, patrolling the perimeter and picking off any unwanted pests, scavenging any resource you may need to make you life easier but also you need to make connections with other survivors if you want to survive. I know, I know, take it from a guy who hates socializing just as much as the next angsty teenager, but it's a fact of life that surviving on your own is not only incredibly difficult but also incredibly draining mentally. You will need help, and you need to make sure it's from a trustworthy source. You can start by finding another community and setting up a trade agreement if they have something you need and you have something they want, or you can rescue other survivors still trapped by roaming zombies. In any case, if you can vet them with a questionnaire and judge their character and interactions while out taking down zombies, I think you'll be alright. Remember, having a strong community will be the key to surviving this whole ordeal. Once you have that, you guys will be unstoppable as long as you train everyone, keep them nourished and on their toes, so everyone's on the same page whenever something goes down. Okay, so that was a lot of information I just threw at you right there, so let's simplify it down here into some steps.
*While Talking, Lorenzo Starts Poring Gasoline From Multiple Gas Canisters Over the Side of the Building*
1. Move fast with only essentials into the countryside or any rural area away from major cities. 2. Set up a base of operations away from the public eye that still offers the chance for fortification and also escape options should things go wrong. 3. Once the base is up and running, focus on self-sufficiency and self-reliance by training in areas you know you're lacking but also areas that are key to survival. (Ex. Scavenging, fighting, cardio, marksmanship, hunting, etc.) 4. Once you're confident the home site is up to snuff, branch out into the world and find resources you're lacking, but also find other people you trust. 5. Build a community by recruiting other survivors or through trade agreements with other communities while also taking down as many zombies to keep everyone safe. 6. Lastly but most importantly, I can't believe I forgot this until now, have fun doing it! If you aren't having fun out here, then there's no way you'll be able to stay alive for long. Keeping that positive and loose feeling about you will not only motivate others but also keep you from dwelling too long on the negative emotions that threaten to overwhelm us every day. So stay positive, but also most importantly...

Looks like it's time to exit stage left before the whole building comes down! Rock on, my fellow survivors! I hope to run across you in the future!
