Property Protection
I thought I’d share with you what I told
That’s right, our new property affords us much protection against the brain-munching hordes of the undead, whether supernatural or science monstrosity.
The first step is location, we’re currently situated near to the shops for supplies and can easily take a route over walls to avoid using the main street to get to them, and straight across the road is the doctors office, in case we need access to a first aid box. Behind the practice is a dental office too, so we’re quids in. (Side story: my first morning here, the police swarmed the area because some people decided to sell drugs right outside the doctors)
Then we’ve got general protection, the windows all around the building are double glazed and open outwards, making entry difficult for the limp-legged freaks.
If they try a general entry, they first have to get past the lockable metal gate at the front of the building, before entering the tunnel that goes under half the flat. This may slow them down long enough to formulate and escape, set up a barricade or, at the least, reload.
Should they burst through, they then make their way through the tunnel, which we have a good sniper view from our external metal staircase. Because the area is surrounded by thick concrete, it is possible to head them off with a few Molotov cocktails.
Once through the tunnel, they appear in the courtyard, which is fairly open to ourselves and the house behind, with a nice slaughter zone from firing from on high. The main doorway to us is up curving metal steps, which will slow the shambling masses down and they may instead choose the more straight-forward route in to the house.
If they do choose the route to us, and actually break through, we have a long hallway that we can barricade and shoot down, which will prevent the undead from nearing us.
All in all, it’s not Zombie-proof, but we’ll be in for a better chan e.
Glad to see that your well protected against the Zombie menace my friend, but a word of advice if I may. Bewary with the molotov cocktails, yeah nothing warms the heart like a flaming zombie but it’s only fun till the flaming pile of goo ends up setting your flat on fire. Then you have zombies AND fire to deal with. If your flat exterior is brick and flame-proof then by all means light ‘em up znd grab the marshmallows!
The “How to Survive a Horror Movie” book says to be sure to wear a mask when torching bodies. You don’t want to breathe in the resulting smoke or otherwise that may waft from the burning bodies.
O_O Zombies are scawyyy. T_T
Dan, British houses are mostly brick inside and out, which is a right bugger for home renovation but at least the walls can stand up to the walking dead.
Dio, can I nibble on your brains?
Kyyaaaaa! *buries axe in head* T_T I don’t like zombies!!
I haven’t the foggiest about living in brick houses. I don’t think they’re earthquake safe. >.>
Dio, it’s bloody England. There are no earthquakes here.
Silly tart.

Yeah, well, I’ve always been a Londoner, and that’s why I think London’s great.
I feel it when I’m riding, the jubilee…. Dear god, did I just sing?
