If this begins in March then Team 4 is definitely the best pick. You can head due East and pass through the sparsely populated parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma before the summer heat hits (which would also cut down on the number of zombies you'd encounter. Most of that route is flat and sparsely populated, so it will be easy to see anyone coming, and there won't be many potential zombies so the chances of being overwhelmed significantly drops (till you get to North Texas and Oklahoma). From Arkansas you can just cut through Tennessee to North Carolina, then up through Eastern Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania (trekking through the Appalachians during the summer is a much better route than trying to pass through the plains or the Northern Midwest, i.e. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio; more densely populated states; during the summer). Most of the heavy fighting probably wouldn't take place til we got near D.C. and Philly.

He can still run and jump faster and farther than any human. So can Blade. And the number of Zombies will be very, very low in those regions as there aren't many people, so the need to swing from building to building to avoid danger won't be of a very high priority due to the low likelihood of actually encountering a large concentration of zombies. He and Blade could just incapacitate them or kill them. It's a very safe route. Not going through many large population centers means not a lot of zombies, and given that Blade deals with far more dangerous vampires regularly, handling Rage zombies in low numbers would be a cakewalk. When we reach the East Coast Metro area Spider-man's web-slinging comes more into play as the zombie populace will be far more dense. With my route geography plays in my favor.

Then the only place you'd encounter zombies is in New York. The entire rest of the time you're traveling where there wouldn't be any other people until you got to new york. What with La and new york both being coastal.

Then when you got to bilding esque new york Spider-Man could swing you to the destination easily.

don't they only consume human blood? otherwise that would make for a humongous plot hole in the vampire lore.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, if that were the case they'd need to secure a lot of supplies before they set sail unless Blade intends to jump in the water and try to fish for large sea mammals. Besides, if vehicles were allowed, best bet would be to just procure a train like an Amtrak or something and steamroll across country. There'd already be a food car with supplies, it travels faster than a zombie can run so there's not much worry about being boarded unless you were forced to stop, and if anything particularly large were blocking the tracks (like an abandoned 18 wheeler, for example), you could just stop and have Spider-man move it off the tracks.

Did the 28days/week virus infect the animal populace? If so, i dunno how viable drinking that blood would be for Blade.
the bird acted as any of it's species does *shrug*

Originally posted by illadelph12I was talking about making a boat. I can't make a car or a train. If we stayed close enough to the shore so that we could stop in at a hospital to supply Blade there'd be no problem. Or we could sacrifice some of the ease later to ensure the ease now and just go with team 1.
