Well at first signs of a zombie apoco i would raid a supermarket for food, water (bottles because the desiese could be transfered through river water and therefore into my towns water suply), fishing wire, and electonic fly swater, a crap ton of glass, and a bunch of shovels. first i would set up a trip wire system so if any zombies made it close to my house they would set off my 5 crossbows. and at my door i would add another setup where the flyswater would shock zombies (small but helpfull), next i would use all the glass i got and throw it all around my huse so the shards could break open the skin of a zombie and into their mussel tissue and posibly into their Achilles tendant and if that tendant where to break the zombies could no longer stand up. and with the shovels i would connect my home to others through and underground system. the zombies should be dead by winter oh how i love Illinois.
