SO...how long do the zombies wander around after they are zombified.
It couldn’t be much longer than it would take for a dead body to decompose,right?
Eventually.
That’s why I’m staying in the north for the zombie apocalypse. They’ll keep longer but you would have all winter for foraging. Plus during the winter you could clear large areas by knocking the heads off the frozen meatcicles.
Well there is some discussion that if the digestive tract stays in tact then Zombies live longer because they eat which allows the body to renew itself but at a much slower pace than normal.
Remember we found out in the first season that the brain reanimates but only in the lower functions. Apparently their lungs work (at least the diaphragm muscle anyways) because they can make vocalizations (grunting and such) it takes air being forced from the lungs to do that.
