The Worst Places To Go In A Zombie Apocalypse |

A good first step to building your plan is to identify places you should NOT go once the Zombie Apocalypse happens. This is not in any particular order.
1. Hospitals - The first place to go to hell is the hospital. It’s where all the sick people go and if one of them is infected it starts a chain reaction. The patient turns and the nurse checking their pulse will get bitten, the doctor will come in and gets attack by the nurse, and so on.
2. Retail Stores - It doesn’t matter if it’s a sporting goods store, clothing store, a supermarket, or a large department store; it’s a very bad idea to go to any of them. Nearly everyone’s zombie apocalypse plan is to head to a big store because of all the supplies it contains (like Walmart). Just picture it this way, shopping on Black Friday (or on the Holidays) is dangerous because people tend to get injured or tramped to death. Adding zombies into the mix would make it even worst.
3. Malls - This is a deathtrap. Malls are always located in very populated areas. They also contain many glass door entrances, which you have to worry about constantly because they can break. The food will spoil without a steady source of refrigeration and the generators only last for 48 hours. Besides in a natural disaster or emergency, the malls is one of the places to become set up as a safe zone for survivors. In most zombie films shelters tend to fail when no one is screening for infected people.
4. Highways - The highway is a perfect place for a buffet, if you’re a zombie because it’s jammed pack with cars trying to escape the city. It’s easy pickins’ for them to smash the cars windows and feast on the people inside. After all, there’s no escape for the cars when you’re blocked in by other cars. Your best bet is to take the back roads, side roads, or make your own shortcuts.
5. Gun Stores - Just like going to retail stores is a bad idea, this is just as worst. The gun store owner is likely to have locked away their prized weapons and barricaded their store from zombies and idiotic looters. And if you’re a looter, you don’t want to mess with a gun store owner who has all the guns and ammo at their disposal.
6. Police Stations - Those police officers have families too and the first thing they’ll do is raid every weapon closet in the station. So your plan to get weapons that they left behind goes down the drain.
7. Schools - In natural disaster emergency, schools are also set up as shelters for people. If you’re looking for an abandon school, you’re going to have a hard time finding one.
8. Churches - Churches are another location set up as shelters for people in a emergency situations as well.
9. Farmhouses - It may seem like an appealing place to be because it’s in the middle of no where and provides a way to survive long term, but you’re also a long way from everything else. It’s a danger waiting to happen because some farmland may include tall crops for zombies to sneak through. And the smell of livestock could attract lumbering hordes. All that open space may give you a heads up on wondering zombies but it always makes it easier for them to find you.
10. Rooftops - It may seem like a smart thing to do but when the zombies get inside the building, you will end up trapping yourself (unless you’ve created a system of zip-lines going from roof to roof). Plus, being on the roof means you’ll have to deal with the elements. You’ll also need to come down to get supplies and by the time you do, you may have collected a large amount of zombies beneath you.
11. Basements - Just like rooftops, you can also can trap yourself. Most basements don’t have multiple entrances or big enough windows to climb out should something get in.
12. Boats (Marinas) - It can work as long as it’s already stocked, full of fuel and someone knows how to use it, especially if they know how to navigate. But the plan to use a boat and head to an island isn’t going to work because chances are, someone else has beaten you to it. Besides, if you manage to get a boat you might be trading another nightmare for something just as worst. Such as, you’re wondering around the ocean because you don’t know how to navigate the boat and you ran out of everything — water, food and fuel. So now you’re doomed yourself to a very boring and slow death. Though…that doesn’t include mother nature.
Or you have a 50/50 chance of reaching an island of other survivors who are rebuilding society or an island full of zombies.
13. Airplanes (Airports) - Do you really want to risk getting on a plane with a bunch of people who may or may not be infected? There really is no escape once someone is infected and is trapped with so many other people.
14. Trains (Subways) - Just as bad as airports but instead of being in the air you’re under ground. But realistically, people will be trying to use any and all public transportation to get home or to get as far away from the outbreak. You might have a better chance if you’re on a bicycle or in a car (that’s if the streets are clear enough to maneuver).
15. Cities - Your best bet is to avoid the cities because it’s where the largest concentration of people are, so therefore, the highest concentration of zombies. You’ll want to go around the city instead of through it.
