I still can’t figure out why there are still so many zombies around. You’d think they would have all decayed by now.

It’s one of the things you have to overlook to make it work.

Just like you have to overlook that sometimes they all run and move very fast, and sometimes a herd runs really slow. Based on the storyline at the moment.

Just like you have to overlook the biology that reanimated bodies chemically decomposing have great strength and aren’t falling apart when they grab things or pull things or try to bite down on things.

Just like you have to overlook the fact how a dead body has any energy transfer at the cellular level to keep going when the blood is gone and the flesh is dead.

Just like you have to overlook they are all infected and the infection is somehow kept at bay while you’re alive, even injured, but for some reason a non-lethal zombie bite or scratch is enough to trip the infection over enough to kill you and turn you. But inhaling the fumes and particles of a burning zombie pile you’re burning up doesn’t apparently do anything to you.

Big holes? Big enough. But still entertaining for the most part. I hope that doesn’t go away.

Zombies are magical. If you can accept them walking around you should be able to swallow that they never quite finish decaying.

What bothers me is that the survivors don’t wear body armor. A leather jacket, even, would cut the odds of you being eaten considerably. And that’s the main threat from, zombies, isn’t it: that they’re biters. They can poison food and water supplies, I guess, or cause structures to fall on your head, and generally get in the way. But the eating is the main thing.
