Didn't they drop bombs around infected areas in the Last of Us and in other zombie movies that's another common tactic but without the complete use of Nuclear weapons it's not effective at killing all the infected and makes the terrain pretty unnavigable given all the rubble.


In the last of us they bombed around the QZs to try and create a kind of "safe space" no man's land situation to take out large groups and so they could more easily defend the QZs.

You guys are really into the show to have such long drawn out arguments.

I agree with addon's opinion tho.

A tank takes about 400-500 gallons of Diesel and does about 0.6 miles per gallon. It would run for a few hours then it's gone, you can't refill it. Petrol stations are refilled daily, when they are empty in a situation like this, it's over. Even when Covid happened we saw petrol stations temporarily close due to panic buying and abnormally high demand.

You also can't Youtube anything, there is no internet.

Your suggestions are completely unfeasible, that's why you never see anything like that depicted on these types of shows/movies. There are finite resources, people in the first few days/months will loot everything. Nothing new is being produced, mined or extracted. Daily life would be looking for todays meal and trying to scrounge a weapon and some bullets here and there, maybe occasionally syphoning a vehicle for a litre of fuel if you're lucky, to run a generator for
a short time.

But sure, tell us how you would eradicate all the infected billions in the world by driving a tank or tractor around. As I said before, they are not lined up in open areas in single file waiting to be mowed down, they are mostly in buildings, sewers and tunnels. You might see 1 or 2 randomly in an open field, nothing worth driving a tank around for hours for.


If majority of the population turns into zombies they won't be driving or going outside. They will be locked up in their house. Zombies don't use gas so there will be an abundance of abandoned cars, tankers and shipping containers full of gas. The tanks, bulldozers and other heavy machines would be abandoned. You don't need to drive for hours with a tank or a digger. Get some friends to round up zombies to come to you. Put on a siren and drive them to the open area. There is many heavy machines around industrial areas. One runs out of gas hop into another one or fill it up after you kill a wave of zombies.
Running over hoards of zombies is but one of many effective ways to kill mass zombies.
You could also funnel them onto a bridge and set up few dozen men with hunting rifles and shoot them all day.
You could fill a fire truck with gas instead of water and spray them from the safety of high ground or behind a fence then light them up.
You could set up kill boxes as you mentioned
You could get some dynamite grenades, Molotov cocktails literally any military grade explosives which America has abundance and just blow them up.
Send a kill squad every day that goes out and shoots zombies all day comeback and repeat. There is only so many zombies in your town or city before you eventually kill them all. I live in a town of 80,000 people even if all of them turned into zombies and it was just me and say 10 other people left we would need to shoot 10 zombies a day for a couple of years maximum.
Find any well fenced off area, or a bridge, other side of a river bank or any obstacle which zombies cannot cross proceed to shoot and throw Molotov cocktails at them from the other side.
You could set up a trap that involves them walking over a slippery/rotating surface. Just at the top of my head find 2 buildings of same height, fix a thin plank that requires balance to walk across, grease it up so that anyone trying to cross would easily slip down onto hard concrete below. Put a goat on one side and lock the place up so that to get to the goat is from the other side. Zombies will eventually die to gravity as they try and get the goat. Bring goat some hay and water every few days and watch the zombies pile up. Use a bulldozer to move the corpses repeat untill they all die.

I mean I am just spitting endless amount of ways to kill zombies I could go on and on

It was from the opening scene with Bill the self sufficient practical dude surviving the zombie apocalypse. That got me thinking what it would be like to live in that world.
In the process of venting I flushed out the angry you can't do that or I'll call the manager Karens of jsp. It's fun messing with them

Basically every vehicle on the road today has an anti-siphon valve, unless you're lucky enough to find vehicles from like earlier than the 90s.

You constantly severely overestimate the harm your plans can do and underestimate how dangerous a horde of zombies is.

Lmao dude really thinks zombies can't cross running water. Bro that's Dracula. We all know that your weak ass ain't throwing a molotov across a river. Also unlike what you're taught by games/media a molotov will definitely not kill a zombie. Not to mention good luck doing anything with fire while you are also intentionally leading them through water 🤦‍♂️

Y’all keep theorizing on how you’d deal with the zombies, cool. What are you gonna do about all the shit head cracked out humans looking for an opportunity?

Most of you have little grasp on how the world functions, yet you think you’d survive the initial infestation? What a joke lol

I guess a drills don't exist in your world or multiple methods to bypass anti siphon valve. Golly wonder what those companies use to siphen fuel if you accidentally put petrol instead of diesel? Hmmm great misery...

Zombies can barely walk straight, they cannot swim its basically cannon unless someone decides to give them alternative superpowers. Any body of water with a strong current they will be swept away or sink to the bottom. Why would I be throwing molotov cocktails across the river? I was merely illustrating obstacles and use appropriate weapons.
Molotov cocktails filled use motor oil, nailpolish, other highly flammable liquids etc will stick and burn long enough for zombies to die.
Don't get too hung up on cocktails cupcake as it's merely one of millions different weapons you can use. I haven't even began with explosives or more advanced weaponary like missiles. Up till now we were talking about baby stuff.
Better hide under your blankie booboo because you have no idea how effective people are at killing yet. Thousands of years of evolution and hunting, conquering we could blow the planet several times over with a push of a button if we wanted to but booboo thinks zombie too scawy and impossible to deal with.

You're brainwashed by media. In reality there is overwhelming evidence that humans band together during disasters.

That is a much better question. We have been struggling with that since the dawn of time. From mongoloid barbarians with no rules to now? I guess things will turn savage, every man for himself scenario. Then eventually groups will form, leaders develop, gangs then people will slowly start working back to some sort of government.

There are unfortunately people struggling with zombie problem. The helpless NPCs who are scared shitless of an idea that they will become zombies because they cannot outwit them.
