15 Perfect Hideouts During A Zombie Apocalypse
Have you already planned your survival?
With so many movies and TV series focusing on a zombie apocalypse, it’s likely that at some point, you would wonder what will happen when the dreaded event becomes real.
Will you be prepared to survive it all? What weapons will you scavenge from the wastelands to help defend yourself from a horde of flesh-eating corpses? Most importantly, where will you hide?
Here are 15 places that you can take refuge in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
Military bases
This is definitely an excellent hiding place. You have access to weapons and you can also get help from other survivors—if there are any. The catch is that you have to settle for canned goods.
Mountain mines
They are also great as a hideout, just make sure you don’t choose the old and abandoned ones as they are at risk for collapsing. Mines usually have water purifiers and air filters inside so you’re good to go.
Lighthouse
It’s elevated and is beyond the reach of the slow-moving creatures (assuming they are really slow and not World War Z-zombie fast). Since you’ll be high up, you can also be on the lookout—and of course, you’re near water.
Banks
They are equipped with security cameras so hiding in these buildings will help you monitor the world from the inside — if there is electricity, of course.
Bridge
In a post-apocalyptic world, you can easily claim an area. If you have to, claim the bridge.
Castle
Castles have strongly built walls and for years, they have stood their ground to protect a civilization from their enemies.
They are ideal, but you don’t really get to see a lot of them these days, except in Europe.
Small, desolate town
An abandoned town can be creepy but it will give you the best chances of survival. It has access to stores for your supplies, plus it’s not heavily populated so there’ll be less chances of having an encounter with zombies.
Ship
This has got to be the safest place where you can hide, given that you don’t have an infected person on board. It’s mobile and it’s on water. Zombies can’t swim, they say. Let’s just hope you won’t be dealing with a mutated swimming corpse.
Fortified safe houses
If you can afford it, you may start building your own safe house. Otherwise, you just have to befriend someone who can.
Underground bunkers
They can be pretty tricky to locate, but they actually exist and they can offer sanctuary from a chaotic zombie-infested world.
Area 51
This isolated place is an ideal refuge from flesh-eating zombies. It’s not populated so a zombie is unlikely to look for its prey here.
Caves
Surviving in a cave can be pretty awesome. Just make sure you set up your defenses at the entrance. Also, check that the caves are not inhabited by bears or other predators, or you’ll be just as doomed as being a zombie meal.
Above sea level
Mountain areas are great; they can give you a great view of the world, and it’s also not populated.
Island
If you’re lucky, you’ll end up on an exotic island with fresh food supply. You and your claimed area will be safe from zombies who can’t swim. Imagine Survivor.
Jail
In a post-apocalyptic world, you’ll appreciate being behind bars. Just make sure you have prepared your escape route once an infection starts inside the prison walls.
