How safe are we from a zombie attack in
taipei. I talking about a “dawn of the dead” style attack where the zombies are not smart.
I live in a ding-lo and I’m faced with the age old argument concerning zombie attacks; roof top or basement.
also the shortage of weapons takes all the fun out of plinking at zombies. I dont think my night market bb gun will be very effective.
also when will the power and water go out in event of a zombie attack.
Christ, that’s one I hadn’t thought of for a while! Indeed, what to do? In any case, it’s always good to prepared, so here’s a chance for you to get in somezombie-killing practice.
Of course the power is going to go out just before the news broadcasts the way to we will be able to defeat the zombies permanently (any horror movie can tell you that). But living in Taiwan, it may take a while. The news will probably have more important news, like President Chen’s wife’s assistant is forcing the zombies to do her bidding and take out her trash. There will have to be an hour piece on how mainland China has sent the zombies to forcefully unify Taiwan with China. Finally, there must be at least a half an hour photo montage of mangled bodies in the path of the zombies.
I give you a good two hour with power.
Quick! Where’s Terror Firmer? He’ll know what to do! Check South Africa, he might be there suplexing accents out of people’s mouths. Or else he’s in Alleycat’s, piledriving people into their pizza. :taz:
In about two weeks, your big concern should be hungry ghosts.
If people bitten turn into zombies and if zombies can sense you then the ratio of zombies to people would increase exponentially (assuming that they have an equal success rate) then eventually 1 person would be the last one left alive and if all zombies can sense living people they would eventfully form a human mountain that could reach the 19th floor and get me.
Screw this guys…I’m going home
This is an excellent question (I’m surprised it hasn’t been raised before) and one which has got me a little worried, as I have no idea where I could lay my hands on a hotgun and a chainsaw. Luckily the local cop shop is close. In case of attack I could try and get down there and see what I could lay my hands on.
I count myself lucky to have a scooter in Taiwan, as I think this wou;d make an excellent escape vehicle. I could ride it one hand, and if I’d managed to liberate a handgun from the cop shop or off a cop-zombie corpse, I could use that with the other hand. If could jsut get a shotgun, my wife could use that from the back of the bike. I doubt the roads would be clear enough for large vehicles.
The lack of helipads is a worry. I think I’d have to head for a harbour, commadeer a boat and try and make it to an uninfested island. Maybe Bisha Harbour then Turtle Island, or Jilong Island at a pinch.

uh…excuse me… but…mmm…hasn’t Taiwan already been overrun with zombies?
Bu Lai En has allowed this thread to remain because he obviously has a lot to contribute. Before I read his post I never thought that the first place I should hit should be the small army station just 2 blocks from my house. The guards give me the eye everytime I walk by so I don’t mind poking out a few eyeballs in revenge and pilfering weapons.
If the situation got really bad I would head for Jingtong or Shifen and hide out in the mine tunnels. Alternately there’s an old stone house up in the hills of Maokong which would probably form a decent hideout. Strong walls, fortified windows and a large garden and orchard in the back. Add a little peanut butter and a few groceries and I’d be set for life during zombie wartime.
This is a topic that has worried me for some time also. I need to start stocking up on canned goods and bottled water. I’m pretty sure that my apartment’s steel doors will keep out any zombies (unless they know how to use blowtorches, in which case I’m fucked).
Zombies like brains. I think most of us are safe.
:bravo:
Just enough for a couple of days tho…
Will we have computers? Can we tap phone lines?
I know it won’t be allowed, but its war, right?

I’m with TomHill. This is the stupidest topic ever in the history of mankind. Flounder it already!
It’s already happened! This morning, when riding the elevator to my office, it stopped halfway and a group of frightfully pale xiao-jie zombies rushed in, closing in on me with gaping red-lipped mouths and crazy staring eyes … I was lucky to escape! I never knew zombies giggled this much! 
I think it is very important to discuss this issue because we all know they are coming. I have stocked up on all the basic supplies as well as enough gas, rags and bottles to make enough gas bombs to get rid of even the most persistent of zombies. I think fire is the way to go. It is hard to get a head shot when there is so many zombies coming at you at once and one “cocktail” should be able to take out at least three zombies ber bottle.

It is. I wonder if I change my hairstyle enough times will the zombies not remember what I looked like and leave me alone?
How does one know that one is not, in fact, already a zombie?
This is another example of how the Taiwanese government does not care about its citizens as much as Western governments do. The UK has explicitly considered this issue, and given helpful advice in their Website/Booklet ‘Preparing for Emergencies’ (http://preparingforemergencies.co.uk/)
Just click on ‘Emergency Planning Booklet’ followed by ‘Basic First Aid’

Time to sharpen up those shovels!
It’s 0230
I’m on zombie alert
I’m assigning condition alert mauve to pale amber
I saw a proto zombie in class today. I taught him the word peanut butter and he began speaking in some gargaling zombie tongue.
the “man” would have this thread floundered but i have proof that
mapo squid has been financed by the bushes to teach the zombies how to fly commercial airliners to get cheap tickets to saudi.
It’s all coming out in my new book “celceius 29”. thats the temperature it takes to get me to start writing stupid crap at 0230 in the morning.
zombie defense did ofthe day:
if you live on the top floor you can dump all your furniture down the stair well to impede the traffic of clumbsy zombies.
I’m going to do that before I go to sleep. my IKEA furniture will finally be put t some good use
