““Zombies,” I say, trying out the new word, but it must come out like a question because Jimbo replies.
“Zombies. Undead. Living dead. Walking dead. Ghouls. Walkers. Draugr. Infected.”
“You seem to know a lot about them,” Luscious notes.
“I told you,” Jimbo says. “Kid was obsessed with them. Forced me to watch the movies and play the games with him. Called me his ‘wingman for the apocalypse.’ I even had to read him these Jane Harper novels with Draugr zombies and perform different voices for each character. Embarrassing.”
I feel bad interrupting Jimbo’s tirade. He seems to be emoting like he’s never expressed any of this before, but I don’t think we have much more time. “Why were they called infected?”
“People were turned into zombies if they were bit by other zombies. It was an infection, like a virus, that would kill them, alter their bodies and bring them back to life with an insatiable appetite for human flesh and sometimes brains. Originally brains, I think, unless you believe tha...t Jane Harper stuff, that zombies originated from the Viking legend of the Draugr.”MoreLess
