Chapter 33-2 Red Winter

[Pillars]

Is there some connection in the fact that the first zombies Michael saw had self-inflicted wounds on them. And the Little Ones have been described to have self-inflicted scratches. I'm not saying they're the same but why would they have "self-inflicted" wounds?

There is no confirmation that Grigg is turned, only that he is missing. He could have escaped and is trying to get away, he could be turned, he could be a slow turner. We don't know yet.

I had a thought about this: maybe the little one left Grigg alive to follow him back to Boulder? That would explain why the LO waited 4.5 hours to attack the chinook and why one is left unaccounted. It also kind of explains why this one was in the trees -- trying to be discreet while it followed Grigg. To anticipate any counterpoint, it's probably letting Grigg take a headstart. That's why it hung back at the crash site. It'd be easily able to pick up on his scent and just stalk him until he makes it to Boulder.

This would mean that the LO's are intelligent. REALLY intelligent.

Thoughts?

Like the velociraptors from Jurassic Park. Once the Inklings learn to open doors (As opposed to just smashing through them) We're screwed.

NICE! Haven't thought of it. But you are right.
I could think of that: During the mutation/ turning the bodyfunctions get out of control, like a spastic reaction or something, which wound end up in harming themselves.

All the best!

Holy crud, KC - awesome writing! I can't believe we're looking at an outbreak story this far in, but introducing Boulder and the numbered zombies means that a bulletproof contagious zombie is 30 miles away from maybe the last large population of humans on earth. This may be as suspenseful as this series has ever been.

At this point, have we heard whether the army brass has evidence of holdouts on any other continent?

Nope. They lost contact I believe with a couple other locations..
