The World is Zombified II

With the Walking Dead coming back on, it seems my obsession with zombie survival is not going any where any time soon.

Anyway, I've used this idea before, but I'll change it up a little. The scenario is that depicted in "I am Legend", but combined with that, we have daylight walking zombies too, the slow type from Romero's for example.

So in such a world, you are one of the few survivors alive. You know that there is a safe haven full of babes, but are many hundreds of thousands of miles away. Which of these abilities or upgrades would you want?

The Punisher Upgrade

- Each week when you wake up, a crate with an assault rifle, pistol, one explosive charge magically appears next to where you lie. No extra ammo.

The Daredevil Upgrade

- Superhuman Hearing/Radar Sense

The Psylocke Upgrade

- At night, if you remain stationary, you will blend into the darkness (invisibility).

The Xenomorph Upgrade

- Grants Nightvision (green) and enhanced vision.
- Immune to the weather extremes.

The Jaws Upgrade

- Whenever a zombie enters a 200m radius, the Jaws tune will start playing in your head. More zombies means the volume gets louder, and closer proximity will mean the tune progresses to its more intense parts. Oddly enough the music in your head does not distract you at all.

The Popeye Upgrade

- Every 7 days, a can of spinach will appear next to you when you wake. Unfortunately its not the type that grants super-strength, but it is nutritious, balanced in protein, carbs, fats, fiber, minerals and vitamins...

The Final Destination Upgrade

- Death will protect you ONCE each day against a single Zombie attack. That is, the first Zombie that is about to kill you will be "killed" by insane luck/fate.

The Planet of the Apes Upgrade

- Each week you can summon a smart monkey ally to your cause. If he/she dies (and they are loyal enough to do so for you), you'll have wait for the week to end before summoning another. Number of monkeys is capped to 2. You cannot eat the monkeys for food.

The Storm Upgrade

- Can make the sky rain water, random thunderstorms (cannot use it as a weapon).

The Limitless Pill

- Each fortnight, you get one of those pills. No addiction/withdrawal symptoms. Cannot be accumulated (disappears).

The Wolverine Upgrade

- Immune to virus.
- Weak Healing factor - a bite wound (missing mouthful of flesh) would take a week to heal completely.

The Team Jacob Upgrade

- Once every month, during the night, you turn into a werewolf and go ape shit on the zombies.

...............................

Scenario I: Pick one Upgrades

Scenario II: Pick two Upgrades

LoL.

1) Wolverine

2) Final Destination and Planet of the Apes

1) The team jacob upgrade

One guaranteed nutritionally-complete meal each week is a gem in of itself. If you happen to find yourself without food, this might get you by until you can find a steady food supply. Also useful to augment your food supply, especially if you're in a situation where all there is to eat is from vending machines and such. Not a great choice by itself, but could be in the combo scenario.

Makes you an ultra-genius capable of figuring most things out. Could be extremely useful in a tight situation.

And the Pill option didn't say anything about increasing intelligence in fact it didn't say anything at all...and eh to that as well.
Their zombies.
They kind in the thread can't figure out how to work a door knob so I am sure I can out thin them.

Hey, you asked; I gave scenarios where a complete-meal would/could be useful.

That's what the Limitless pill does and then some. I'm guessing you've not seen the movie, otherwise you'd understand it would allow you more than just "out think zombies". I'd allow you to think of ways to survive/escape in seconds where you normally probably wouldn't. If you found yourself in a situation with other people who are trying to rebuild society, this option would make you extremely valuable.

PS Calm down, it's just a MVF thread.

This is how I think about it - there are a few things that are required for basic survival:

- Warmth/Shelter
- Food
- Water
- Health/Medicine

Also relevant to this topic, not being killed by zombies - which could be done by:

- Killing them
- avoiding them
- a combination of the two

Now most of the upgrades cater to one of these needs.

For me, Health/Medicine need is probably the hardest to come by. Others can be salvaged even if it takes great time/effort, but if you do become sick, you would likely not have the knowledge to fix yourself.

For this reason, for scenario I, I would either pick Wolverine, or possibly Xenomorph which would dramatically reduce my chance of getting ill, plus I get night/enhanced vision which is extremely useful.

I haven't thought much about scenario II, but probably Wolverine Upgrade + Planet of the Apes.

Can you fly with the Storm upgrade? Babes Ahoy!

1: The Limitless Pill.

2: The Limitless Pill certainly. And Werewolf once a month change. For that burst of long distance cover. And a werewolf under the effects of the pill will make no mistakes.

Placidity how far away are the babes? You said hundreds of thousands of miles away.

No flying, that would be too easy.

I should have made it clear that the Werewolf is the one from Twilight, so you would be relatively invincible. Healing factor and extreme high body temp makes you immune to virus while in wolf state.

Lets say, at the other end of the continent, the USA for example.

Fair enough. I thought so.

Yeah I know. They move at surprisingly fast burst speeds. With the added bonus of the Limitless Pill no zombie could stop it.

2,092 miles/3,347 km good.

The Twiwolf can traverse huge distances very quickly. You have 12 hrs.

With the pill you will plot these courses with a good map efficiently beforehand. With the wolf you should be able to reach the babes the fastest.
But during your last hour of transformation you will find a suitable safehouse to spend your next month. Then do it again.

Storm Upgrade: Can I create floods and lighting to make fire?

and Wolverine Upgrade for healing

Reading, it's not overrated.

Okay uh..

Scenario 1: Planet of the Apes upgrade. Ape just as smart as you, if not smarter, would make fairly decent allies.

Scenario 2: Wolverine upgrade/Daredevil upgrade

I would like to know exactly what the Limitless Pill does.

Hard to explain, in a few words, it makes you smarter for a short while. Best watch the movie.

The pill from "Limitless" didn't really make you smarter, so much as it gave you supreme focus and recall. If you didn't learn anything in your life or make an effort to learn anything while using the pill, it wouldn't have any effect. It's not like you take the pill and you're Reed Richards or something. it basically turned you into a very high functioning autistic.

Allows you to remember anything you've ever learned or seen before in passing.

Allows you to learn new information at a super-accelerated pace (eg new language in a few days).

Makes you extremely fast at thinking and calculations.

Makes you smarter overall in a sense.
