Ryder hates this shithole. The city became ground zero for the breakout

it's either kill or be killed

but it's difficult to go with that when you only have half a brain and your body is stitched together

you're not the smartest zombie

when you first met Ryder you looked into the barrel of his rifle and even tried biting it

he didn't have the heart to kill you. You seemed to still have your humanity,infact you were kinda cute

you growled at anything that went near him that you're barely working brain deemed a threat..

you're like a pet to him..
