Zombies ... Where did the "living corpses" guys come from? Whether it's a chemical weapon or a virus infection ... no one knows. All we know is that we want living human internal organs and live blood, and we have "sexual desire". The shell of the soul, where only desire remains, wanders in search of the blood and "body" of a living human being.
