The Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse!

This is where we take shelter against Zombies. 

We have this idea to begin renovating an old deserted nuclear bomb silo that has been built underground. First of all we are going to have to locate one and find sufficient funding in order to begin our renovations. As we are sure a Zombie apocalypse is going to happen we have no problem with combining all of our scholarship money towards renovations and other objects and items that must be purchased for survival. 

Firstly we begin by building a dummy house that looks inhabited  but will not be used. So the cheapest materials can be used to build it. Then we install exits and entrances. 

Then we ensure that the actual underground shelter is completely sealed, especially the top and the tunnels leading down from the ‘dummy’ house into the actual shelter. All entrances and exits will be sealed with blast proof doors, which if unable  to be purchased will be created by welding several thick sheets of titanium together. Ideally the doors will be created to withstand pressure blasts up to 100 pounds per square foot. The doors to enter the shelter will be installed under the hardwood flooring of the dummy home. Through the insertion of a small knife between a crack in the floorboards (We doubt a zombie would have sufficient knowledge and understanding to attempt this.) the pressure (by using pressure valves no electricity is required) holding the door in place shall be released and the door will rise two inches in order for us to be able to slide it open. Hardwood will be laid across the door to ensure that the door is able to blend seamlessly with the rest of the flooring, once it is closed off course. The outdoor exits will be built in a similar manner but instead of having hardwood laid across them one will have the runway lying across it, and the other grass. 

To enter the shelter one must pass through a series of 4 blast proof doors which are easily sealed from the inside by spinning the wheel to lock them in place.  Once the shelter is entered you will come across the living quarters. There we will have TV, radio, beds, exercise equipment, a weapons room (Filled with many primary weapons, bombs, secondary weapons, hand guns, and even knives and swords, as well as bullets… A LOT of bullets), a training room where we will train to fight and kill zombies on a daily basis, and a science lab will be located in a secure part of the shelter in order to aid in finding a cure. 

In the section of the shelter where the atomic bomb was stored you will be able to find an electricity generator that will use solar panels set up in the tops of trees in the forest to generate electricity, as well as a water tank and filtering system. Which will initially store enough water to last for 6 months, and will collect rainwater from a fake tree built in the forest, just for this purpose. If our budget allows we will build a few of these trees. The trees will blend into their natural environment as they will be evergreens, that way leaves don’t need to fall off during the winter. They will be movable so that the wind can rustle their leaves. Thus, no zombie will be able to detect them. 

In another section of the old silo a room will be found with fruits and vegetables growing under UV lights. These will provide us with our food. As for protein, which is required to survive, we will go out hunting occasionally but will ensure to initially have a lot of frozen meets to last at least 2 years. Just incase we run out of meats as a protein source we will stock up on protein shakes. We will also stock up on plenty of other vitamins and medicine. 

Above ground you will be able to find 2 small fighter jets, each able to hold 3 people, hidden in a sealed barn as well as an all terrain large vehicle equipped with zombie fighting equipment and motorcycles built in much the same manner. These will be used as forms of quick getaway. In case of emergencies we will also have weapons, armour, and light backpacks filled with the essentials at the ready. 

Oh, and an elaborate surveillance system involving cameras and  movement/heat sensors will be set up to ensure our awareness of Zombies that might decide to walk over our location. 

We have faith that we will be able to save ourselves by living in this well protected shelter until we are  able to find a cure, or contact survivors who are creating a colony.
