Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

True.

They have the inteligence they need to infect those that aren't immune to the Green Flu.

And the Common Infected are the ones that're too stupid to try to save them selves from death.


I wouldn't call that intelligence. More of an instinct, or a drive. They don't think "Oh look, survivors. We have to spread our disease!"

They pretty much have an 'attack' drive. Look at the Charger, Jockey, and especially the Tank. They pretty much just beat people to death. Can't spread the Flu to a dead person.

And let's be honest. Out of all the special infected, only the Spitter and the Smoker have any sense of survival by hiding while their attacks recharge.

Singe read the zombie survival guide by max brooks then you shall fully understand how zombies happen ^_^ it is not meant to be truly realistic although its the most plausible explanation for zombies ive come across
From what I know of that, those zombies are rotting. And thus, are of no real threat. They'd get screwed by flame weapons. Most zombies would. Whilst fire would not cause them pain or destroy them, it would certainly incapacitate them. Eyeballs maelt, and noses and ear would be destroyed easily. Unless zombies can taste the air or feel vibrations like snakes, you'vwe basically got a walking, burning thing capable of setting other things alight.

I'd just chill out in my Moonbase which isn't on a moon and have tea and chumpits while reading a my book. Well it isn't really a book, because the pages are made of lasers and the words are made of headless women making godless love to dragons made out of motorcycles, but it is still reading.

If something attacks I'll just destroy it with my groin saw.

Sure they jump away, but even still. Pouncing on someone with heavily armed friends doesn't seem like the best survival technique.

Some. Most where about characters I'd never heard before. What's up with the Hunter with the cat ears?

On bases, I'd go to Brownsea island.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

And after that read WWZ it shows how hard it is to survive an infestation like that if you have ever shot a gun bigger than a 22. you would learn that it is near impossible to get a headshot on a moving target and remeber these things will just keep on coming at you.
