Thinking back to how people turned….

People bit or scratched by little ones turned fast. Like in 33-1 there were notes about victims turning and the entire Bolder collapse was fast.

People bit or scratched from “special ones” (jumpers, runners or smart ones) turned within minutes. Like Tommy in 14-1.

I don’t recall anyone turned from a regular one. Special ones seem to command the hordes of regular ones. What if the regular ones either kill, eat or bring people to their commanders to be turned.

Tanya was dragged away in 19-1, we hear CJ tell the story of Ink saying leave her in 25-2. Datu, Samantha and Kalani were not bitten when taken to the arena. In 39-1 Wendy was bit and in 41-2 Ink was bit but they don’t say what type bit them.

So the special ones were very busy during the exponential zombies growth in the original outbreak and Cindy in 1-1 would have been bit by a special one that figured out how to navigate the fire doors or elevator of the tower.

In 41-1 Datu says a regular one bit him. If this theory is anywhere close, Datu, Tanya and Saul have a chance.
