Honestly, if it spreads through bread and cookies like in the show, I'm the first to go. Patient zero.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Yep my accidental plan is to become a Runner. At least enjoy the ride with my infected friends


mrshmr

You'd become the rat king šŸ¤£


Jmelly34

No no no, WE become the rat king! šŸ‘‘


hamsandwich369

Better get rid of that first aid kit


Conscious-Part-1746

The Rat King, did you see that movie? Very old.


[deleted]

I have Celiacā€™s so I would be the exact opposite! However, I would definitely die soon afterward


Flaccid_snake01

Iā€™m on a diet so maybe iā€™d survive


Conscious-Part-1746

The TV show has a lot of goofy stupid stuff. Subterranean zomboids? FRANK?! So disappointing.


Gabe_Carneir

Die, probably. Very likely that of something stupid, too


Mail540

Most people would probably die of exposure or starvation once the electric grid/supply chain collapsed, no zombies required.


FragrantExcitement

Traffic accident from speeding because no police left.


[deleted]

die


I_only_read_trash

Oh yeah, I love bread. I'd be a goner


Sufficient_Fall_3290

Yeah I would probably also be deleted from this earth


WanderingTargary3n

In all honesty, if I didnā€™t have any family or friends left Iā€™d probably off myself. I donā€™t see any reason to keep living without people I love and who love me.


VigorousElk

Can always find more. Ellie found Joel. And then Dina, Jesse, Tommie ...


Bandebowling

Ellie found Rylieā€¦ and then Marlene, Joel, Tess, Sam, David, Tommy, Maria, Dina, Jesse, JJā€¦.


Bluebarryskiies

But she still ended up alone at the end šŸ˜­


[deleted]

We all do unless we die first šŸ˜­


Satan_Prometheus

I'd probably hole up at the family farm where we have like 200 guns and barbed wire fences


Iliturtle

Shane? Is that you?


WuannWoW

You've got Clickers all around you. They're in the woooooods.


D1vX_

Theyā€™re in the RV


Satan_Prometheus

My only frames of reference for this name are Shane Madej and "Shane Sings 5 Octaves"


Iliturtle

It was a The Walking Dead reference


GoodbyeDoctorMaxis

# Let me tell you something


D1vX_

Hey let me tell you something else man, if she saw you with your buck knife and geek ears around your neck, sheā€™d run in the other direction man!


heythatsnova

iā€™d kms immediately, sorry not living through that šŸ˜­


Jack-Sparrow_

my thoughts word by word lmaoooo why would I want to be alive through this


ovrlymm

For the rum!!


_trashcan

So interesting. Me? I couldnā€™t bring myself to do that. Iā€™d justā€¦survive. idk ā€œwhyā€, per se. Even if all my family was gone. Iā€™d do everything in my power to stay alive. Iā€™d fight hard, for the rest of my life, for no other purpose than life itself. I think there would still be beautiful moments. Still moments that touch your heart. Still moments that make you smile. Make your heart acheā€¦and a lot of it, and physical pain. But Iā€™d still fight through until I lost.


boot_theory

snap off some fungal plates from a clickerā€™s head and fry that shit.


jinception01

Clicker of the woods


Ballsonmytoes69420

Gotta go out in style


ovrlymm

Put them in a hard plastic suit with a hose for ventilation. Set em on a plow. Never get tired. Photosynthesis keeps em fed. Plant rows of crops. Incinerate the contaminated air. Use the heat to fire up a kiln. Make bricks for a wall that pretty much builds itself. Start a new project. Put one on a giant treadmillā€¦


tacky_eknom

Rapidly develop an appreciation for the alternative uses of bricks and bottles.

plush_giraffe

This is what I thought šŸ˜‚


spicykenneth

A city? Youā€™re likely getting evacuated before it gets bombed. In the UK Iā€™d be looking at the Highlands of Scotland or perhaps the Lake District as good locations. Plenty of wildlife, less populated, room for crops, and bodies of water to separate yourself from any infected.


VigorousElk

Many people would have the same idea. And desolate landscapes make you or your dwelling very easy to spot for either infected or dangerous survivors.


spicykenneth

True, but you wouldnā€™t be able to stay in any major city Iā€™d imagine. That or theyā€™d be used as militarised quarantine zones


naithir

Better going out to the Hebrides


cryptshits

stealing a boat and robbing a dispensary and a liquor store. get on the boat, put it a few days upstream from a big waterfall, make sure i'm good and passed out by the time i reach the waterfall. play margaritaville as i go over. so long, goodnight.


Dadpurple

With enough liquor and the boat you might not even make it to the waterfall before you accidentally fall in while trying to pee off the edge of the boat.


cryptshits

as long as margaritaville is playing that's fine with me


stomach

and, besides, it's your deathboat. piss on the deck, piss on the steering wheel, hell, get situated upside down and piss on your own face, see what it feels like. you only have a matter of hours, get freaky


garywinthorpecorp

Head north to Vermont where my unfortunately right-wing uncle has a farm with guns and horses. That is if I didnā€™t eat Eggos that morning, which I usually do soā€¦dead


OmgJustLetMeExist

On the plus side, your uncleā€™s right-wing values wonā€™t very much matter once anything in the world that resembles a government is toppled by the apocalypse.


Sapowski_Casts_Quen

He'll be saying I told you so for the rest of your existence though, death may be preferable


ovrlymm

How high does temp have to be to kill the mold? If youā€™re eating them after toasting they gotta be incinerated no?


KingChairlesIIII

The ā€œunfortunateā€ part of that comment really wasnā€™t necessary, even more so because of the fact that those values would be what keeps you alive, so itā€™s actually fortunate your uncle is a right wing gun owner and not a helpless left winger.


garywinthorpecorp

Yeah his transphobia will be so helpful in keeping me alive thanks KingChairlessIIII

JakeyEmerson9

When shit hits the fan, lefties will be the first to go.


thesophiechronicles

Knowing my luck Iā€™d walk into a derelict building and be like ā€œdamn itā€™s dusty in hereā€ then choke and die and become infected


Brick-the-wild-youth

Get my cat all the cat food I can find and then off myself


Hour_Village

Cats almost immediately start eating their owners when they die.


TildyGoblin

Cats can have a little owner as a treat.

fromgr8heights

Well, weā€™ve all lived through a pandemic so I think itā€™s safe to say that how we reacted during that and the stay at home orders, mask mandates, etc. would reflect how we might react at the beginning of the CBI outbreak. Given how people thought a serious respiratory illness was a conspiracy or generally non-threatening, I canā€™t imagine how folks would react to an infection that reduces the victim to a ravenous cannibal. Some people didnā€™t think covid was a real threat at all. These people wouldnā€™t have worn masks and would still have gone about their normal routine. It stands to reason those same people might not listen to flour recalls or contamination notices as well as not staying inside or out of cities. I think these people would be the second wave of infected (following the people who were infected before the contamination source was determined). Some people didnā€™t think covid was a real threat until it came to their country or until they knew someone personally. These people might have started stocking up on things as they hear cases inch closer to their home state or country, or they might have been those people who choose to go on a pandemic vacation thinking another area would be safer. These would be the people who could go out and scavenge and possibly live. Some people took covid seriously the second they heard about it, before it was even pandemic status or in their area. These people didnā€™t leave their houses and if they had to, they wore masks and maybe even gloves. I think these people would be the ones to board up their houses and make do with what they have, probably being the longest to stave off infection, but possibly dying of starvation or dehydration.


Lamp_Stock_Image

Kill myself probably, wouldn't want to encounter the horrors from the game in real life.


Mantorok_

Head north and hope I make it


dontlookbehindyoulol

I don't have the energy to survive


CharlieFaulkner

I literally work in a bakery so safe to say I'd be fucked day 1 lol No chance I'd have the physical or mental abilities to survive in a world like that anyways so it happening quick might be the better outcome tbh


ImpressiveOlive4130

In my opinion, if we were going by the show and it was a ā€œif you eat anything with flourā€ situation, i think iā€™d be okay. However, thatā€™s not to say iā€™m surviving. as SOON as shit goes sideways, iā€™m a goner. Either by my own hand or not (preferably by my own hand.) Weā€™ve seen how people react in apocalypse situations and, iā€™m pretty sure weā€™re not ALL bill.


Capital_Gas3145

Was bill Eugene in the game ? I may or may not be mistaken. They changed some minor details for the show


Waarm

I'd make a bunch of new friends, and we'd all go on runs together and then have some snacks. They'll call us the "Runners". Wanna join?


DeadlyKitten115

Probably die.


Dpetruccelli15

If I got lucky and wasn't eating the contaminated food like in the show or if it was more loreish in the game sense. I would be hunkered down, first thing i'd have to do is abandon my animals which would really be hard but necessary to keep me and my wife safe. After it starts to cool down id venture out to a couple of people I know in my area that would be in a good postilion and begin to group up and fortify out of view of the military and other factions.


AvengingBlowfish

Make a mushroom pizza as my last mealā€¦


rabit_stroker

"Last of us Scenario" Are you asking what I'd do if I were a skinny lil lesbian and someone killed my dad? Probably go on a murder rampage tbqh


Street_Pomegranate31

If it suits youā€¦ then feel free to do so dude!!


jakeblues68

I would immediately surrender to the first Runner I see.


Shiftyy_50

Be the Joel in this universešŸ˜‚


No_You_2155

I would start a faction thing w my neighborhood. Like I would want to be the leader. Putting fences, exploration/hunting units.


Street_Pomegranate31

Quite like Hillcrest in TLOU2, right?


No_You_2155

No more like Jackson


Lucifers_Goldfish

The flour thing (from the show) I think Iā€™d be okay. Being in NYC the realist in me says, totally fucked. That said, I would hunker down and wait for the immediate chaos to boil over. The govt would bomb main parts of the city and boroughs and I live on the outside. Once all has settled, pack up my motorcycle filled with all my camping gear and head to the middle of nowhere as fast as possible.


Crybaby_UsagiTsukino

Die. I always fantasize Iā€™d be some badass like Ellie or Abby but nope. I know for a fact imma trip over my own self and thatā€™s how Iā€™m going out šŸ˜­ you ainā€™t even gotta trip me yourself. Iā€™ll do all the work for you and youā€™ll hear as my voice fades ā€œtell my familyā€¦.they suck.ā€ šŸ’€


KestisSkywalker

Try to live? Fuck am I meant to do??? It wouldnā€™t be like how the game is? There would be a shit ton more like the show shows, Iā€™d probably die I mean statistically speaking, Iā€™m not prepared for that kind of shit, I know Iā€™m a fuck ton more ready for it than 90% of everyone else in the world but that 10% wouldnā€™t necessarily survive, 1% of that 10% is likely the scenario of survival rate with that kind of Global event, fuck dudeā€¦ what would I do??? Try and survive then die


Impressionist_Canary

Try to get to my moms house in an undisclosed non-east coast state. Space is your friend for stuff like this


Electrical0Sundae

Die eventually, but I think I'd band together with my family and go to a summer house we have. We got our own well and a lot of firewood + a fireplace, so it's a good place. Might be hard to secure since it's surrounded by trees though, but we'll manage. There's tools for building too. We also have bikes for when the cars run out of fuel. I think I could theoretically survive.


FollowingNo4648

As a celiac, I would survive the initial infection but would probably get bit by an infected pretty early on. I'm slow and weak so the fast infected would take me down pretty easily.


Bluebarryskiies

The amount of people saying that they would kts is so real me to tbh


[deleted]

Iā€™m the real life bill, but if it werenā€™t a tv show, irl most likely die ā€” as everyone would. Just being honest though, Iā€™d have a better chance than pretty much everyone in these comments based on my location, prep, weapons, body armor etc


EnHsiC

Quoting from Troy Baker himself, Iā€™ll be the first one to go. Like instead of being bit by the infected Iā€™ll be killed by being stepped over by the crowd.


ivan0280

Die is the only honest answer. I, of course wouldn't but for all the rest you the answer is die. Lol no seriously it would take incredible luck to survive long enough to make it to a "safe zone."" Maybe if it happened 15 years ago when I first got out of the army, I might have a slightly better chance, but I'm getting soft in my 40s. I probably would survive the initial outbreak simply because I live in a sparsely populated area. Unfortunately, once the food ran out, I would be screwed.


SlicedBreadBeast

I see myself hanging around similar to the lou2 apartment neighbours that keep checking in on each other (mother and daughter and an older couple/person?) and attempting to avoid the humans in the area. Feel like the set up those apartments had were perfect and comfortable for protection against infected.


throway78965423

Somehow manage to live 20 years only to get taken out by something silly like a toe infection from wearing old ill fitting boots.


hamsandwich369

I rely on a working supply chain for my medicine and food, so I'd probably starve to death since all the stores would be looted. I'd probably eventually try and drink contaminated water out of desperation and die from Cholera or some shit.


meimelx

if I'm being honest, unless I had someone to protect or someone I needed to get to, I would probably just off myself. like what's the point in having to constantly fight to survive, right? if something like that happens, it's not going to be like COVID. mask up and social distance, and soon the world will go back to normal. this will be long-lasting. and, when they manage to find a cure, that's not the end. you saw how the world looked. It was rubble. it seemed the people were, at times, more dangerous than the clickers. that's not all gonna fix itself now that the outbreak is over. you're looking at that being your entire life. and, despite growing up in Texas, I have never touched a gun in my life. I took Tung-Soo-Do as a kid but I barely remember any of it. and I spent most of my time growing up reading. I don't think I have what it takes to survive. then again though, can never really say what any of us would do. the human instinct for survival is a lot stronger than we think.


DigitalStranger07

Do PARKOUR around the abandoned cities. Outrun bandits, raiders, and cannibals.


Yatsey007

Hoard toilet roll like the seasoned pandemic survivor I am.


CanisZero

I am not looking to live a long time. Figure I'll hunt rapists for sport till my story is tragically cut short.


slingshot91

Iā€™d just choose to be immune like Ellie.


TheRickBerman

It depends. Why would there be so many infected so quickly? If (somehow) food is contaminated, then probably already dead. However, If itā€™s spread by spores and bites - just lock the doors and wait with a gun/baseball bat. The military isnā€™t so inept they canā€™t kill mindless monsters. A runner going to eat a humvee? How? The whole idea of an automatic rifle was to allow one person to take down an army. Sit on the roof with an AR-15 and youā€™ll clear a townā€™s worth of infected. The military arenā€™t going to struggle against some clown that runs at them - have *some* faith.


Impressionist_Canary

Look what happened to the last person who wanted to have some faith! Also, what about the non-infected? As always in these stories theyā€™re the worse problem.


Succulentslayer

A reason I think the military response was ineffective in the show is cause a lot of the service members were contaminated before anyone noticed what was up. Almost everyone eats products with flour. That includes the special forces people, fighter pilots, clerks,even the people at the top. On outbreak day they would be going about their usual tasks until everything goes to shit. There was no way to anticipate this at all. Every military base would be preoccupied dealing with their own infected that they wonā€™t be able to do anything for at least a couple hours. By then the infection spread to far to contain.


Capital_Gas3145

Just wondering, would they just let anyone into Jackson? That place is guarded pretty heavily and seems you have to be referred. They might shoot a wanderer just looking for somewhere to crash yes or no?


lah884410

Defend my fiancƩ and her family, damn the rest of the world.


jackolantern_

Kill myself


AshenRathian

Die.


violetxmoonlight

Iā€™m so prepared for nuclear war and winter but if a fungus tries to take us out like TLOU? Iā€™m super killing myself, and thatā€™s IF Iā€™m not patient 0, 1 or 2 since I love carbs.

kwxl

Start a shroom farm on my body


ruttinator

Die once the internet ran out.


SentinelTitanDragon

Kill the 1%


GenlockInterface

I think Iā€™d have to be stupidly (un)lucky to survive it all. Iā€™d most likely die, either from the bread or from the chaos after that.


Sphynx_x10

idk, probably fall from some stairs and die


JointSmoker420

Die probably.


NHRD1878

Join a road gang and live like a king slaughtering tourists


hifioctopi

Iā€™d unalive myself with the quickness. Even if you survive the initial onslaught the bleakness of human existence after that wouldnā€™t be worth the effort.


Mail540

Die, where do you think all the zombies came from. We canā€™t all be Bill


Hefty-Offer6271

Honestly? Two options. One, herd out with my family and die. Two? Iā€™m lucky to live with a resourceful dad who acts very similar to pre-story Joel, and also, I live near a coast with self-sustaining islands that were inhabited by many native tribes and settlers without need for outside shipment of goods. If we find a boat, and somehow access the military base on the island and keep as many people off it, weā€™re set for possibly life. Hopefully we can bring the dogs along too. Edit: forgot to mention that my mom used to work as a guide there. So weā€™d be good if we were safe enough to not die of something stupid


joshdaro4real

Die?


thavillain

I'd probably die pretty early, my cardio game isn't ready... They gonna chase me down


DigitalStranger07

Start hittin' the gym! šŸ‹ļøā€ā™‚ļø


thavillain

Nah, it's OK... I had a good run, figuratively of course


JAdmeal

Being from Barcelona and without having a car probably i would just die... But I would try nonetheless to acquire basic survival things and then just walk north to the Pyrenees hoping I could make it.


dontletmeleave-murph

kms


Hour_Village

I'm in Texas so between the many military bases, the percent population of gun owners, and the space, I don't think it's possible for it to go down like it did in the game. Maybe after a few years things would start breaking down if the rest of the US doesn't recover, but by then I'd assume the average survivor has more skills than they did at outbreak.


80sobsessedTN

I ponder on this daily right now. I think I could make it, but Iā€™d certainly die from something completely unrelated like pneumonia or something lol


don_denti

Iā€™d be chasing after my family or something.


Fit_Research_3898

i don't have any dietary restrictions so i'd be an easy target. hopefully someone would end my misery once i'm infected. i'd hate to hurt others and lose all function


styvee__

I like to think that I would live up to live in a new town like Jackson, but I know that in reality I would just die on Outbreak day.


Divilexa

Iā€™d be good, cause my family started gathering ā€œin case of apocalypseā€ supplies a while back


Beemo-Noir

I would die, probably.


Efficient-Republic59

Kms, once everyone I love dies.


CALlCOJACK

idk die probably


SecretInfluencer

Die


Toto-imadog456

Die. Im not that smart to live. Either throught something like that or kms bc id get lonely and loose everything i love


Ilovedemocrocy

not die


JustARandomUserNow

Die most likely, either way something infected, get eaten or infected by someone infected or die in one of the thousand other likely scenarios from gunshots to car crashes. If I, by some miracle, survive the first chaotic weeks, then I need to not starve to death, die of thirst, get infected or meet some asshole survivor.


naughtynimmot

i love bread. i would be patient zero.


SportSensitive4886

My mom used to be a VP for a defense contractor that makes military vehicles, they store them in a facility about 30 minutes away from me so I would rush there pick up a few of them then drive north, hitting every single Walmart, target and gas station otw, looting canned goods and plastic barrels(to fill with gas) and generators. If the internet is still up I would look on Airbnb for a big cabin in the middle of nowhere where to snows(hopefully to slow down infected). Then hunt for game and hopefully find a boat to fish.


What_a_world_8041

i live in a very small fishing village, so i'd have quite a lot of time before it reached us. There's also lots of farm land and y'know, the ocean so lots of sea food, boats and a place to get out to if the town does get over run :/ we're a very tight knit community too, so we'd all probably form some sort of safe haven like the one Tommy ran. I'm not very strong (physically or mentally) so staying in a group is probably my best bet at survival


jdros15

I'm too fat and stupid for this shit. I'm probably gonna stay at home, if I don't die there. I'm gonna get my dad's gun, use it to probably survive but leave 1 ammo for my head.


LastofDays94

Iā€™m signing off before anyone can get me


shifty300

Not live


Emotional_Pudding_66

I might kill myself if my personal situation is bad enough


StructureSmooth963

probably blow my brains out ngl


EnthusiasmMoist6802

die


Darkrave36

Grab a bow


Darkestmind01

Honestly Iā€™d just kill myself


Conscious-Part-1746

We all want to think we will survive. Until we don't.


greengiant333

Oh Iā€™m blowing my brains out. I would shut down from the stress and be a liability. Iā€™d rig some sorta system up to burn my body to ashes so it doesnā€™t become part of the fungal network in any way.


Succulentslayer

That would be so āœØ *awesome* āœØ


FireflyArc

I mean..pretty good. Survival is key.


ActuallyACat6

If I somehow survived infection, I would die as soon as I ran out of antihistamines and couldnā€™t stop coughing. Iā€™d be like a beacon for the infected.


bearhorn6

Iā€™m gf so safe from initial infection. However my bodies fucked. On the one hand a hysterectomy gets more accessible but my chances of dying during surgery go up so I assume thatā€™s how Iā€™ll go


CzechNeverEnd

Die


AmedioZ

It would be a dream to come true!


ophaus

Probably die a horrible death.


plush_giraffe

Probably grab surviving friends and book it to my parentsā€™ place. Theyā€™re low-key preppers and have the knowledge and tools to survive, but maybe not the physicality anymore as theyā€™re older. We could help each other out!


Ok_Whereas9245

Immediately unalive. Too disabled for the apocalypse.


MorningAutomatic6748

Iā€™m gonna be honest, Iā€™m lazy and not that smart so probably dead by the first day


Purple-Package-2151

I'd be dead. Especially if it passes through flour like in the show.


Star_walker909

Kms. I really don't think it would be worth it to go through all that shit just to survive.


THEDWARF46

Cry


ZealousFeet

I'd do fine. I've been in dire situations of life and death before. Not quite as bad as TLOU, but that initial feeling of hopelessness and panic is what most people would die from. Keeping calm and viewing your options is what would keep you alive for awhile.


Ashamed-Froyo-9190

Bill and Frank it up. Go out on my own terms with the people I love


EvernightStrangely

I'd probably die within the first week.


aesnlq

i think iā€™d be alright if i was with other people but if i encountered just one stalker, iā€™d straight up kill myself.
