The body of the dead boy secretly used for making soup, which is eaten starving and emaciated patients at the camp physician. Everyone who ate this soup at the same time begin to suffocate and die, but after a few minutes rise again as zombies and start attacking the living. Those who bite those zombies die almost immediately (even if the injury was not fatal), and after a few minutes rise again as walking dead.

Thus, the series presents several types of zombies, different way of becoming the living dead:

  • in zombies the third type turns people bitten by the living dead of the second type.

Zombies of the first type are not distributors of the disease, bitten by their people just die – unlike the victims of zombie bites the second and third types, which themselves turn into flesh-eating monsters.

Zombies move very fast, moving exclusively Jogging. Stop them can only water the living dead can't swim and stone go to the bottom. Zombies don't pay attention to wounds, including a fatal for a normal person. To kill the living dead, you can, by cutting off his head or greatly damaging the neck.

The first time zombies are only active at night. With the onset of the day, they hide from the sun and cease to move, no different from ordinary corpses. Later it turns out that they are not afraid of the sun, and high temperatures, and therefore tend to hide from direct sunlight. With winter approaching, the morning air begins to warm up slower, and the zombies remain active for at least part of the day.
