So I was tasked with coming up with a 1 year outlook of the world if a Zombie Apocalypse happened. I checked into governments approaches to pandemics, city landscapes, models, etc. So let me know whatcha think of this :P
Instead of starting from like Patient zero and working way up I just skipped to when the Zombie Virus would be classified as a Pandemic.
Day 1:
- Lights around the world begin to go out, those powered by Wind turbines and Hydro remain on however.
- As the infection spreads the government makes Saze Zones, they allow any public who clears medical exams to enter. Providing shelter, food, and water.
- We see mass amount of people fleeing infected countries, entering neighboring countries for safety but further spreading the virus.
- Airports in infected countries would shut down. Shipyards would remain active for a few days after, but soon would also shutdown.
- Riots and looting would break out worldwide as people scramble to gather supplies they believe they need.
- Law enforcement is stretched thin and overworked, allowing for crime rates around the world to escalate.
- Hospitals would become overfilled.
- In certain countries, Martial Law would be enforced.
- Stores, countries, and any other places where goods are sold would inflate their prices. We would see inflation rates at a all time high.
- Paranoia of war would break out in some countries, causing murders to break out.
Day 2:
- Unnderground tunnels/Subway tunnels would flood, some streets would become rivers.
- Soldiers are pulled back into their home countries in order to help wit the chaos that is breaking out in said country.
- C.D.C, W.H.O, and other health organizations around the world would work together in hopes of finding a answer to the virus.
- Curfews would be inforced worldwide.
- Fights for supplies continue to break out.
- Cats and dogs roam free, those trapped in houses are doomed.
- Nuclear powerplants go to safe mode.
Day 7:
- Billions of cows, pigs, and chickens would die.
- Safe Zones close their doors to the public as the threat of infection grows. They begin to shoot and defend the Safe Zone against anyone or anything that tried to enter.
- Fruits and other perishables begin to go bad. Grocery stores and some houses become disease riddled, filled with rats and bugs attracted to the smells.
- Gas is the only utility remaining, but the leaks causes houses and buildings to explode. Causing fires and killing thousands.
- Countries close their boarders to the refugees, those in infected countries are abandoned as soldiers, Red Cross, and other aids leave. Trapped within their country. Many of the people in smaller more populated countries will die from the zombies, with no where to flee to.
- Airports around the world shut down, some shipyards stay active.
- Those in Safe Zones are regularly screened for infection.
- Larger cities are abandoned as the zombie numbers grow, forests and other isolated areas are still safe however.
- C.D.C and other health organizations become heavily guarded.
- Those not in safe zones are widely left to fend for themselves.
Day 15:
- Safe Zones become lethal, shooting anyone or anything in sight of the safe zone.
- Mostly every corner of the globe is infected. Places such as Greenland, Eritrea, North Korea, and Nauru have some chance at staying infection free.
- Coasts and Islands become overcrowded battlegrounds as people desperately try to avoid the zombies.
- Those in isolated mountain areas such as the Rocky Mountains have yet to come in contact with the infected.
1 Month:
- Whatever Safe Zones are left have run out of the food and water. The people trapped inside will either die from dehydration or else face the zombie infested cities. Many of people within these Safe Zones will die off, either shot by soldiers fighting their way out, to weak to escape, or eaten by zombies who will be drawn to the Safe Zones.
- Government orders bombings on major cities to clear out zombies.
- Cereal and other non-canned goods become scarce as rodents and bugs infest the food.
- Fights break out in Pam Springs, Hoover Dam, and Las Vegas as these places will still have electricity and running water.
- Gas tanks and plants around the world begin to explode, killing many.
- Forests, fields, and other remote locations that were once safe from zombies have now begin to see more zombie activity and are no longer safe.
- The Rocky Mountains see their first zombie.
- Places with large amounts of bodies become diseases infected. Those in cities or areas with heavy casualties experience health problems, many of whom will die.
- New York, Rome, and other cities will burn to the ground.
2 months:
- Nuclear Power plants across the world begin to overheat and meltdown. People in Eastern United States, Western Europe, Coastal India, and all of Japan will suffer from sickness. 86% of the survivors in these regions will die from Cancer or Radiation.
- Japan is left empty of anything living.
- Rats and cockroaches suffer massive drops in population.
- India, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, and most of the island countries around the world are overrun by infected. Survivors here will need to flee in order to stay alive.
- People in Africa face dehydration, disease, and war. Many of the survivors here would need to move to coastal areas to stay alive.
1 Year:
- 60% of the species of dogs and cats will have gone extinct.
- Lice is now endangered.
- Animals begin to roam back into cities.
- In areas where winter is harsh such as Canada, Russia, and other northern countries will see massive flooding, houses and buildings in these countries will grow toxic mold and some will crumble.
- Nature begins to reclaim the cities, roads crack and buildings crumble.
- The Hoover Dam will finally stop running and Las Vegas's lights will finally go out, Las Vegas will be the last place on Earth to have working lights.
- Massive floods will plague coastal cities, people in these areas will be forced to move inland.
- Many of the population has been killed off by the Flu Virus, due to weak immune systems from overuse of medical drugs and flu shots which are no longer available.
- With no protection, hurricanes, droughts, fires, and floods will kill many of the survivors left.
- By now the zombie population will stop growing and begin to dwindle.
they sit there and be all like "omg no one talks to me, i feel so alone, I wish someone would just message me or something, please ;(" So then you feel bad for them ad you message them a few times and the fucker reads it, doesn't reply, then goes on social media and is like "Omg no one will message me, I just want to talk to someone" Like I'm sorry when Rapunzel was wishing for someone to bust her out of the castle, the bitch didn't judge. Have you ever heard the saying beggers can't be choosers? Like they looking for some handsome fit guy to sweep them off their feet but that fit guy ain't looking for your desperate ass. Unless you're on Grindr.
District 9
Female - Juniper Ondeavuer, 17 LunaPark
District 10
Female - Penny Knills, 13 Cswaggerr
Male - Zebadiah Ittle, 18 EliOrtiz1234
Galus lays in the woods. It was only a few hours ago that he bandaged his wounds and already they are in need of changing. He pulls out the first aid kit, seeing already he needs another. The guaze and tape are low and the antibacterial cream is already gone after he splurged on it doing the first round of bandages.
Suddenly he hears something, something moving....Someone. He presses himself in the small cavern he found, the cavern only being a couple feet deep but just enough to wedge his body in to make it harder to be seen. He knows he is not in the shape to fight and would likely loose but grabs his weapon anyways, readying himself.
He hears the person getting closer. The leaves crackling under their feet. And that's when he sees her. Penny looks around the corner of the cavern, looking right at Galus. For a moment the two just stare at each other. Wondering whether to run, wondering if they should attack.
“You're hurt,” Penny chokes out.
Galus remembers seeing Penny and Zebadiah in the training centre, they were inseparable. And likely are together even right now.
Penny looks at him thinking for a moment. She knows Galus is the best chance she has at getting rid of Zebadiah. After he attacked and killed their ally she knows she can not trust him any loner. But if she helped Galus and got him to get rid of Zebadiah, then she could easily poison him and be able to win the game.
Penny pulls out a sponsor gift she had gotten earlier. She opens it revealing a first aid kit.
“Wanna make a deal?” Penny smirks.
Cresta sits on a rock as the sun rises up in the sky, quickly moving threw the sky. The rays of sun shinning down on the arena as slowly the plants glowing effects diminish. She sits there, eyes closed, chest puffed out, feeling the warmth of the sun, the light of it. 3 days, it has been 3 days since she slept or had a normal long sunny day. She wanted to enjoy the few minutes of sun that was in the arena. It helped her, she was starting to break down. Not being able to sleep and the stress of these games had her mind starting to crumble, she missed home, she missed sleep. But this few minutes of sun every day was keeping her going. It was like a reminder to keep fighting, that even in the darkest of times there still is a little light. And if she wins she could provide for her family.
Cresta lets out a breath and opens her eyes only to see Juniper standing right in front of her. Cresta gasps as she leaps for her trident but Juniper tackles Cresta before she can reach it. The two roll on the rock, trying to wrestle one another nto a vulnerable postilion, one they would be easy to kill in.
Juniper suddenly gets the upper hand and pins Cresta down, sitting on top of her but suddenly Cresta slams her fist into Juniper's head, knocking her off. Cresta begins to crawl towards her trident but Juniper grabs her legs, yanking her away.
“No!” Cresta hollers as she kicks at Juniper.
Juniper gives another big yank and pulls Cresta to her. Juniper pulls out a knife and goes to stab Cresta but Cresta grabs Juniper's hands, trying to push the knife away. The blade pointed right at Cresta's chest. The two sit there, playing tug of war on the knife, pushing and pulling, trying to overpower the other. Cresta suddenly manages to kick Juniper's leg, the two girls fall onto the ground, the knife landing between them.
Cresta looks up to see the knife but then sees Juniper grab it. Cresta quickly leaps up, rushing towards her trident. She knows that is her best chance. She grabs the handle of it when she suddenly feels pain shoot up her spine. She feels her lungs shake and then how hard it is to breath.
Juniper rips the knife out of Cresta's back, grabbing the trident from Cresta and any other supplies she can. Juniper stands on the rock, looking at the sun before walking away.
Cresta lays on the ground, hearing her blood pool on the surface and drip down onto the ground. She lays there, watching as the bright sun begins to set turning the sky into shades of oranges, yellows, and reds. Her wheezing breath becomes lighter as her eyes focus on the sun, watching it, feeling it. Feeling the rays warm her cooling body. Feeling the light of it. She closes her eyes, imagining seeing her family one more time.
BOOM!
Tiberia and Cedric look up, hearing the cannon.
“Another one down I guess,” Cedric mumbles as he walks into the cornucopia.
Tiberia stands outside of the cornucopia, seeing as the sun finally sets, turning the arena back to black. She pulls out a dagger, knowing that it is the final 6. And that it would be smart to get rid of Cedric now.
Zebadiah sits in the brush just outside the cornucopia, watching as Tiberia stands outside. He looks at all the supplies, the food, water, weapons. He needs it. He gets ready, knowing that tonight he must take it.
The anthem plays as the seal appears in the sky

Latrix finishes her trap, having stuffed the clothes she got from Zant with moss and twigs, making it appear as if a tribute is sitting on the ground. Having trigger wires to release the sharpened twigs that dangle just above the fake body. She lays above in a tree, struggle to stay awake, it bein 2 days since she was able to rest.
Tiberia and Cedric stay at the cornucopia. They begin to go threw the supplies. Picking out what they want or need to have on them at all times. Well everything else is destroyed. They know they can't stay, with tributes likely wanting to come to the cornucopia, it would be high risk to stay. But they don't want the tributes to have the relief of finding supplies here either. Starting a massive bonfire, the two burn anything they can not take.
Cresta watches from the forest line as Tiberia and Cedric burn the supplies. She waits, planning to take her time, to be patient for the best time to attack, to get revenge.
Zebadiah crashes through the forest. Looking for Thuckle. After taking Ripper from him he wants revenge, he wants Thuckle dead. Zebadiah bursts threw the brush into a opening with a shallow lake. He stops scanning the area, watching for where Thuckle could have gone when suddenly Thuckle leaps from the woods behind Zebadiah, grabbing Zeb and tackling him into the water. The two scramble to get to their feet but Thuckle is the first one. He grabs Zebadiah by his throat, pushing him under the water.
Zebadiah struggles to get free, holding his breath and feeling his body ache for air. Unable to breath due to being under the water. He scratches and yanks at Thuckle who now sits ontop of him, pushing Zebadiah's head deeper into the water. Zebadiah grabs Thuckle's hair and yank, ripping Thuckle off of him. He leans up, surfacing out of the water, taking a deep breath.
Thuckle scrambles to get up, charging to tackle Zebadiah again. But Zebadiah suddenly grabs Thuckle, lifting him over Zebadiah's head and throwing him onto the ground. The water splashing as Thuckle hits it.
Thuckle knows strength wise he is no match for Zebadiah. He turns for the woods and kicks off running for the safety of the forest. But he feels Zebadiah grab his arm. With a quick yank Thuckle is thrown back onto the ground by Zebadiah.
Zebadiah leaps ontop of Thuckle, clenching his hand into a fist. He slams it into the side of Thuckle's face.
CRACK!
Again Zebadiah slams his fist into Thuckle's face, and again, and again, and again. The constant sound of skin meeting skin, bone meeting bone, the force of Zebadiah's fist smashing into Thuckle's face fills the air.
Zebadiah finally stops, looking down to see Thuckle. Thhuckle lays in the shallow water, his face swollen to the point his left eye is swollen shut. Blood drips from his nose and mouth, his mouth missing a few teeth and a chunk of the top lip missing. Colours of purple and red mix together on Thuckle's face, his face looking discoloured with the amount of bruising he has.
Thuckle gurgles as he struggles to breath. His vision blurry, and his head hurting. He tries to move his arm but it spasms and falls back down to the ground.
Zebadiah glares at Thuckle, having no remorse. He grabs Thuckle's head, twisting it to the right.
CCCRRRRKK!
BOOM!
Zebadiah stands up, looking at Thuckles body when he suddenly hears something move behind him. He turns to see Penny standing in the forest line. She stares at Zebadiah with shock. Him being covered in blood and their dead ally laying inches from him. The only thing that she can think of is that he turned on them. He turned on Thuckle and Ripper.
Before Zebadiah can say anything Penny bolts into the woods, vanishing.
“Penny!” Zebadiah yells.
Latrix lays in the tree, feeling herself drifting off into a sleep. She struggles to stay up but can't. Suddenly she hears it, someone laugh. She shoots awake and looks to see the career pack directly below her. She panics, wondering if her sudden movement created enough noise for them to hear. But after a few seconds she knows they didn't hear anything. Instead they are focused on the fake tribute.
She watches as they silently move towards the stuffed clothes, falling for the trap.
Hermaya raises her sword, seeing the male tribute laying on the ground. That's when she feels it, the thin wire brush against her leg, breaking. Her heart sinks as she instantly knows its a trap, and she just triggered the trip wire. She doesn't have time to react before the long, sharpened twig falls, ripping into her back and severing her spine.
BOOM!
Galus sees Hermaya drop to the ground and quickly bolts, hearing the sharpened spikes falling behind him, hitting the ground with soft THUDS. He feels a spike tear into his ankle and screams as he falls, hitting the ground. Another spike falling and tearing into his body.
Latrix watches from above as the last of the spikes fall. Hermaya laying dead directly below Latrix. With Galus laying a few feet away. She needs to get their stuff quickly, before the hovercraft moves in to collect the bodies.
Latrix shimmies down the tree, rushing to Galus first Expecting him to have the most supplies since the more larger and dominate career usually carries the most valuables. She grabs his jacket, yanking it off when he suddenly turns, ripping his knife into Latrix's throat.
Latrix falls back, grabbing her throat as she feels blood pour from her wound. She thrashes around, trying to escape, to ease the pain, to fine a way to survive this. Her brain scrambling.
Galus stumbles to his feet, the pain shooting threw his body as he looks at the two spikes. The first deep into his ankle, well the other is in his side.
BOOM!
He looks to see Latrix laying on the ground motionless. Looking back at his wounds he knows he needs to find a way to dress them otherwise he will bleed out.
