A walking dead version? Sure. 28 days later? Nah. If those fuckers run like that, we'd be done for.
Yes I realize 28 days later technically has no zombies but it's a more probable scenario to have a virus infect people and make them mad than actual corpses walking around.
Confession: I do not like zombie movies or series. Too much eye candy, too much gore, too much too much.
I do enjoy zombie/apocalypse like books.
28 days later was where the infected acted like rabid mobs, running around in groups?
If that was the case, a virus capable of super charging the aggression mechanism of an organism, two infected individuals would charge each other. If it's agression based, pure, blind, agression would end itself by being too successful. Even if a groups of individuals somehow managed to maintain some sort of group mentality, any prey would be rendered to pieces. End of the line, no spreading.
Yes that's 28 days later. But they made them only act aggressively towards noninfected. So supercharged zombies in a way but they'd die after some time without food.
I won't assert it as fact but I think rabid animals can't distinguish between healthy and infected individuals. If not, the infected would just tear each other apart. It's a desease; group instinct requires higher cognitive capability.
And our bodies can last for about 3 weeks without food, assuming we are doing our best to conserve energy. Again, last 28 days and your chances of surviving go up.
