Even if the infection came from an alien, it would still be a virus. That seems like the only logical thing it could be... Maybe I'm just not creative. :P

What if its a bacteria? Say all zombies have come into contact with something. Maybe the strangely colored one is say the living manifest of the bacteria/infection/ whatever. Since it seemed like the arena nest kinda depened on him maybe he is the source.
A massive, worldwide April Fool's joke taken a step too far?
living radiation. transmits by bodily fluids feeds on brain and other organics to multiply.
That almost sounds like life,depending on how we would try and define life, that is.

My guess is military experiment but that just a guess. Only saying so because of the tatoo prisoner guy he may have been in that institute and they infected like he could be the center. Oh and how could these "things" be zombies zombies are walking corpses therefore they would just fall apart and rot. these dont.
It could be some latent 'junk' DNA being triggered by something (yes I got the idea from a Dr Who episode)...
Are these infected people or magical walking corpses? 'Zombies' used to be people who'd been drugged, buried, and used for cheap labor in a sugar mill; nowadays they're rotting corpses that somehow walk and eat. Even "Dr Despicable" can't wrap his head around it (from Dr Despicable's Chamber Of Cinema podcast)
Have the "We're Alive" zombies survived fatal injuries? Do their severed heads still bite? The tower people NEED to study one up close! Especially now that they have a Doctor on board.... I don't think they're walking corpses OR voodoo zombies; they seem like mutants of some kind, people who have changed but not died; their higher minds are gone, they're savage and instinctual.
Zomboids, I'm just sayin'.
The cool thing (and scary thing) about these zombies is they do have some cognitive ability combined with instinct and savagery. They are like Borg zombies in that they seem such perfect predators you can't imagine how you'd actually defeat them.
The infected on the show breath, They can be knocked out, some hunger for anything to eat, Their heads do not continue to function if severed because they aren't the undead. They're creatures or infected beings. Massive trauma kills them too.
Some know and show fear (ink and the one that hid from Mike after Lizzie was introduced, others can reason and some can feel a certain level of pain.
