Guess this is an ad hoc poll for where on the spectrum would you be on the zombie apocalypse, but I do expect halo effect to alter the results.

The question is would you be hostile or friendly to other survivors you come across if they had no recourse for their actions

The main assumption is that You have the inherent resistance to the plague so that way you can you can start in a heavily populated area and make your way out or live in there.

I would be curious if people would hide away for the rest of their lives in a cabin in the woods.

I forgot to add an assumption that there would be plenty of food and resources since their would be empty houses with food in them at people's time of death. You could be the 1 survivor in 50 or 1 in 1000 so like you're gonna get enough food for years to come. Of course there's farms that might be planted that will be ready for harvest.

It's weird to think you can invade a power plant and raid the fridge.

You could take on a small structure and move up to a small town then cities once you're conditioned.

But that's just me musing
