The Tattooed Zombie

[Witch_Doctor]

For some time now when reading this topic I thought about maybe the 'zombies' in we're alive might be more like the vampire/zombies like in the passage/the twelve where you also have a few smart ones that understand that the extinction of the human race also is the end for them and therefore let some humans life and capture them... The whole arena thing in we're alive sounds a bit like it.

This has been touched upon a bit but not really hashed out in discussions as other theories have been.
Just why do they save some people and not others? Skittles said that the regulars only think of eating everyday. How much higher*, cognitively wise, are the smart ones functioning over the biters.

How much hire, cognitively wise, are the smart ones functioning over the biters.

Seems like I'm functioning on a loaer cognitive level.

We know that the smart ones can organize at least a small group of regulars, since Randy had a group of regulars flanking him as he tried to drag Tanya away. The fact that he targeted Tanya, unless it was just an attack of opportunity, speaks to his intelligence, since she is one of the more intelligent survivors. He may have known she would be another smart one.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, and I know this goes against the theory I made earlier, but maybe the family mentioned in the Bill Roberts message is "The Family" that scratch and angel belonged to. What says mafioso more than a pinstriped suit?
