Zac ran with Lydia in his arms without looking back. Perhaps others in his position would try something, maybe stop the zombie and prevent it from advancing against the weak and innocent in the surrounding area.
But Zac didn't know what could happen to him. Was he already so different from ordinary humans that Onyx Contagion wouldn't be a risk to him?
Not knowing the answer to that question, he preferred to avoid it, leaving the area as quickly as he could so as not to come into contact with the virus any further.
With Lydia by his side, his responsibility was to protect only her!
He was even more afraid of this woman than he was of himself, imagining that, even if he wasn't immune to Onyx Contagion, he certainly had a stronger resistance to the virus than she did.
