Meh. Stock up on crowbars, axes, hammers, screwdrivers, etc. Drive into the hills and away from the cities, stock up on as much canned food and water I can cram into my tiny ass car. I don't have a gun nor know how to use it, but I'd probably try and kill a cop zombie at some point after the outbreak. Then only use it on myself if it looks like it be eaten alive.
Otherwise I'd try to live a quiet secluded life reading books, attempting to garden, fish, and trap small game animals. All while mourning my loved ones while waiting for the weight of the depression to finally convince me life isn't worth living in such a state. Hopefully that takes a good long while, but yknow...that's unlikely.
I'd likely die of starvation or dehydration before the zombies got me, unless we're talking sprinters...then no way.
I used to play Project Zomboid. The game mechanics make the learning difficulty high and you have to start from the beginning if you die...and there is no plot nor point to the story other than just survive in a world where you are the sole survivor of a zombie outbreak. It forces you into thinking like this often the longer you play. Amazing game, but very depressing.
You say you used to play PZ... I recommend checking out the Week One mod with the new unstable branch of B42. Breathes some life into the world prior to the apocalypse occurring.
