Ok, onto the next type of zombie. Slow smart
One thing to point out before I get to far into this one is that when a zombie apocalypse happens there is a very high chance that there will be different types of zombies running around at the same time. You may have all 4 types to fight off. One example is fast smart zombies taking over the world but then you have some that are injured in some way, maybe missing a leg, or its broken, and now you have a slow smart flesh eating machine. One guy has brain damage but is still able to run fast (dumb fast), and then you have brain damaged injured zombies (slow dumb) walking or limping around.
Anyways, these slow smart guys are unable to move quickly but are smart enough to use weapons and wait in the shadows until someone is vulnerable. They could set up booby traps or hunt their prey. This is definitely not best case scenario but it's also not worst case. They are slow, easily out run, but if you fall for one of their traps, or aren't paying attention as you walk into that dark alley or abandoned building, your probably dead.
Most likely these types of zombies are caused by some kind of virus or experimentation. One that doesn't kill them per se, but takes away their ability to rationalize or have a conscience. Basically it would be a world being hunted by a bunch of slow moving psychopaths. They are smart because they still have their human problem solving abilities, but are slow because they are injured. Their body won't allow them to run, or the virus has caused them to lose the ability to react quickly.
What can you do to prepare for when this kind of zombie hits? Focus on being fast. These guys are slow, so if you can have amazingly fast reflexes you should probably be ok. The only down side is you may become super paranoid thinking everything that moves is out to eat you. Which may not be a bad thing, better safe then eaten right? You will need to learn how to always be on alert though. Knowing they are laying traps and using weapons changes how you should scrounge around. Finding the "jackpot" supply load could actually be a trap.
Likely hood of this type hitting? Higher than the undead walking, but not as high as the last two types. I wouldn't spend most of my time thinking about how to fight off these guys. Since it's a high probability that they are slow because they are injured, coming across one would pretty much mean only one thing...I have worse things to worry about...fast smart.
