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.


*edit

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

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