The details were not clear from the story, but it sure sounded like a lot of zombies got killed during the fighting around the Tower. If the zombies were being controlled by some one/thing then it would make sense to back off before those losses became critical. I'm curious too how much the use of the sweat bottles influenced the zombies. Could the zombies have generally lost interest as the sweat concentration went down?

The other curious instance of the zombies retreating was when they had CJ cornered at the Other Tower.
