Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time until the megaswarms that spread unbroken across much of their respective continents stumble upon those poor souls. Though some of the SA tribes live in treehouses in the Amazon, so they'll do okay.

And what fuel would you use?
Well I think I can find gas somewhere to get the generators running. Also What If a group of people settled in a Nuclear powerplant so that there would be electricity in the nearby town. Raid every gunshop etc.

How long do you think that will last? How can you drain gas from stations without power for the pump? And even finding a way, you'll have to do it without alerting the zombies and compete with living humans who won't be worried about killing you for it.

:

Running a nuclear power plant is not something you can do untrained. Besides, it is likely to run by itself to a certain degree until fuel runs out, which you won't be able to replace. In addition, adapting the grid to be localised so that the town can be run on the single station is no easy task, even for an expert. Imagine a non-expert trying to do it among thousands of zombies. As for raiding gun shops, you won't be the first to try. Most would probably have been taken in the panic preceding social meltdown, any still with stock are likely to be holed up by their owners or squatters and surrounded by the remains of would-be looters, attracted ghouls for miles. In addition, it's one thing to acquire a gun, but quite another to use it. They are not easy, you need practice with the specific model and rounds. And even an expert marksman is going to have trouble hitting advancing zombies as the primal terror takes hold.

Not a bad idea! We should start shooting people in the head too, to kill the zombies in advance.

Well, yes... but the shading is all stuffed up - even if the light was from the bottom right the shadows would still be wrong. And hold the button down to get a good look at it depressed - that thing's not going either way.

Ench is right. The lighting doesn't actually change when you push it down, the whole thing just gets slightly darker. What sloppy graphics.

If the whole world was in chaos, would you survive by moving in some lone island. You'd get your food by fishing or something. How did people survive before the new technology?

I forget, though. Do I need the tablecloth for the banquet to appear after the fire is started or does it appear regardless?
