IF he was killed, then maybe, just maybe, that was the reason the mallers had deserters. With no strong sense of leadership they would feel unsafe and would not want to follow Scratches crazy iron fist. with fewer people, and almost no weapons, they would be forced to move from the strip mall as it would be too big to secure by the few they had left. It would make them move someplace smaller and more secure where they could chill out for a while, while they looked for deserters to get back. Although there was a part that scratch said something to the guy that was going to rape Lizzy that he needed to be meeting up with the others. Now I don't know if this meant they're all in one area scouting the place out, but it seems like they're actually on the move splitting up then regrouping. I may be wrong it all depends on if Durai was killed or if hes still alive.
see heres the other thing, the one theory i hate more than the mallers and the colony joining forces is the idea that durai somehow died. that seems so ridiculous. Durai was introduced as this extremely powerful, highly dangerous, very capable character. He was the omnious leader of the mallers, a man who whipped hundreds of hardened criminals, rapists and killers into his own personal army then used them to brutally survive in the post apocalyptic world. This guy is a swiss army knife of the darkside. We know nothing about him, but he's apparently capable of almost anything. so basically kc introduced this really cool, dark, mysterious badass villain/big boss character. Obviously some serious thought went into how this character would be recieved and the reputation surrounding this character, and he has a hell of a reputation, the mallers shake in fear at the mere mention of his name. that takes time and effort to build that kind of a mythology surrounding this character. I guarantee you Durai is not dead. That is not the type of person who would have just died behind the scenes because some zombies showed up. consider durai the supersoldier human version of Ink, its too big a stretch to assume he was killed off camera. what evidence is there that he's not alive any more? people report to scratch? the mallers have grown in size and number (see above posts) they arent a small group like the tower, there are hundreds of them, durai needs a second in command to manage day to day activities and smaller problems like some stranger being taken prisoner by some low level goons. he's got bigger better things to plan. Basically durai isnt dead, i'll bet any of you, anything that he isnt. I'm not syaing he wont die, im just saying he has not been killed off camera because thats lame and stupid, and a total waste of a really cool character.
