Assignment #10- Noah

Frankly, I hate the concept of zombie apocalypses as a whole because my pet peeve is unexplained or highly unrealistic scenarios in stories. Chief among those stories are zombie stories. There are two extremely common zombie stereotypes.

The first is the kind of zombies that bite other zombies in order to spread the virus. I believe that the military would be able to obliterate any and all hints of a start to a zombie apocalypse with our current military power. Think about it logically. The zombies would have enough time to spread to 1000s of people without the government noticing? And even in that scenario, we have helicopters and missiles and naval capabilities. Zombies would be quite easy to destroy.

The second stereotype is the decomposing corpses risen from the grave. Uh, this one is fairly self-explanatory. There is a  scientific explanation for this. Nanobots. Nanobots controlling them and ordering them around would certainly give the appearance of reanimated dead, but nothing a good EMP wouldn't destroy.

However, if there is magic involved, then we are screwed, because of how much our world is based on science and laws. Magic breaks laws of science, and zombies would just spread like a plague because of the raw amount of humans who have died in the past decade alone would be enough to kill enough humans to reanimate more corpses and continue. That's why necromancers are so overpowered in fantasy games and stories. Once they enter into a fray of battle, the people they kill become weapons to get more corpses.

My plan is to rely on our government to be safe, and probably commit suicide if magic is involved, because I would like a painless death, not getting gnawed to death by corpses of my friends. I am not afraid to admit that I am a coward in the face of death, so yeah, there is my plan. It isn't a material body survival per say, but more of a mental survival plan, if you catch my drift.
