We’ve all asked ourselves this at one point or another – would I survive in a zombie apocalypse?
Of course, all the science says that it’s impossible for a corpse to rise from the dead and start chasing people around, but watching films like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead, we can’t help but wonder.
Would I survive? Where would I go? Who or what would I bring with me?
New data from Rantcasino.com has helped us to answer this question by ranking every region in the UK on whether it is one of the “best” or “worst” places to live in a zombie apocalypse.
The good news? If you live in Reading, you might just be ok…
The data ranks the town as the 206th worst place to live in the UK out of 363 regions and districts.
The numbers have been produced by adding up the number of cemeteries and graves in each region.
A total of nine graveyards in the local authority would result in 9,551 zombies rising from the earth this Halloween to terrorise the public – making Reading the 206th most populous zombie region in the UK.
The human population of 160,337 would dwarf the undead ranks - although that is a lot of people that could potentially be turned into zombies if they get bitten.
If that doesn't sound too bad, things get worse from here. The fact that Reading is a fairly built-up area means that the zombies will be densley concentrated – with 236 zombies per square kilometre.
Other nearby areas would fare differently. Slough is ranked 261st on the list with only 5,880 zombies and 181 creatures per square kilometre.
Meanwhile, Bracknell is placed 318th on the list, with 3,233 total zombies and a zombie density of 30 per square kilometre.
Windsor and Maidenhead would also fare well, with 5,608 zombies in total and 28 per quare kilometre.
Leeds comes out as the worst place to live in the UK in terms of zombie population, with 811,422 Zed’s and 1,471 per kilometre.
Meanwhile, you may want to book a ticket to the Isles of Scilly, as it is the safest place to be with only 98 undead at a density of four per square kilometre.
