Chapter 40-3 Monsters

[Witch_Doctor]

Let's get back to the arena. We don't know what happened between Samantha's disappearance and later the rescue of Datu. There was a time-gap. What, if Datu was wounded by them zeehs, and what if is kind of a no-turner or slow-turner like what some of us assume about Tanya and Saul ... In that case the attacking zomb might have recognized him as brethren and not prey ...
ends ...

Best wishes!

What if that was true about all of the people the zombies try and drag back? Remember when Michael saw Randy outside the tower, he was trying to drag away Tanya. Similar to how Datu was dragged away. Michael says that the zombies moved different, like they were one. What if they weren't roaming for food, what if they could smell a 'non-turner' and were on a mission to retrieve her?

Perhaps whatever Tanya and Saul have that is making them either slow-turners/no-turners isn't even unique to them and Datu? What if Samantha, Kalani and pills boy in the Arena all had it too? Well are all dead now so we won't know for sure, but we still could find out something from Datu.

I'll up the ante on this. What if Kalani was affected also, when he was in the arena with Samantha and Datu? Ink didn't call others or even try to attack Kalani & Riley at the Mental Hospital. Now, it's not the regular run-of-the-mill Zombies that don't harm them, just the super smart ones like Ink, Randy, Inklings...

Then again, these are a lot of what-ifs; but that's what makes this fun, right?

So, am I the only one who heard something that sounded like a knife or other sharp object cutting into or slicing zombie flesh? My mental image was of King Datu the Resourceful BAMF killing a zom at very close range.

I interpreted that as Datu getting cut or scratched by a zombie. He's is in distress now, knowing that he is infected. I'm sure when the story picks by up we'll be surprised at what is revealed.

I couldn't find anyone posting this, but maybe Austin is one of the Little Ones Victor saw at one point. I have a theory that Bill was recruiting while in jail and gave a few special inmates a nice tattoo to remember him by, and that left Austin and others marked to be Little Ones once Bill became "Ink". I know my explanation might have some logic and timing issues, but it is a theory and it came to mined while I was driving and trying not to think about the slaughter that occurred.

Im not sure if it's relevant to the story or not, but another thing located in Georgia is the headquarters for the Center for Disease Control. If the case is connected to Bill Roberts, it's possible that Austin was a classmate at one of the schools, and had a hand in whatever Roberts was up to.

So Austin could have been #5, that Victor injected in the eye.

Was number 5 the one he injects in the eye? I'll have to go back and re listen. Number 5 was the one that had its arm broken off at the elbow in the truck when Lizzy first sees one on the was to the arena with Tardust and Bricks. So if it was then #5 regrew an arm or he bled out or ink killed him and tattooed a new #5 or something.

Yea, it was the same #5. It was missing it's forearm. I figured it would have bled out too, but apparently not.

It would be interesting if Austin Mckibben turned out to be the guy that gave Kalani the pills in the arena. Another user has hinted at this also - and it would be a good set up to the attack on Datu - maybe he was attacked by Samantha - assuming she wasn't turned into mincemeat.

The guy who gave Kalani the pills, named himself "Martin", right? Why wold Austin use a different name instead of his own to introduce himself?

Ah yes, I remember now. That wittles down my list of potential theories - only a few weeks till we hopefully get more answers.
