A new “totally practical and 100 percent feasible” study by CareerBuilder, who are apparently experts on zombies, examined 53 of the largest metropolitan areas (those with more than 1 million residents) and calculated their chances of surviving a zombie apocalypse. Denver, you’re looking good. Chicago, you in danger girl.
The cities are scored in the index below on eight different factors in four categories: defense against the virus, ability to contain the virus, chances of finding a cure and likelihood to outlast the epidemic with an ample food supply.
So if the shit hits the fan and the zombie apocalypse happens, we’re coming for you Denver. Please make sure to stock up from the dispensary before we get there. We’ll bring the beer.
