The Map

More alarming questions I think at looking from the map is Why the Arena is so far from Ground Zero? Well I guess its the only place large enough to hold a lot of zombies that they flock to it. Still, I would think the hottest zone would be where the most of them reside.

Then again, it would make sense the regular zombies fanned out out of the hot zone if they don't like behemoths and other weirder them creatures. I would put it as plot point in the story to again revisit the plan to wipe out the zombies at the arena to make a move towards ground zero. Then again, that could be just wishful thinking on the account that their best chance was when they had the possiblity of restoring water to the tower and before the attack. Only way now would be to ally themselves with the mallers somehow.

That is actually a very interesting point. That makes two very nasty hotspots of zombie activity: Ground Zero, and the Arena. You'd think the arena would be located in the middle of Ground Zero. Not all the way on the outskirts of the city limits.

Maybe, just maybe the Arena started out as a place for the smart ones to congregate when they first turned? They've still maintained a smidgen of their humanity, so that calls for the need to socialize and feel secure.

I had to break out the Map again to answer some of my own questions and it just raised a few more. What I did notice from a google search is that there are several.. well, 5 airports in the southern area, not including LAX. Durai could be at anyone or all of them gathering equipment and planes.
I would also think they're headed southeast towards one of the big lakes like Lake Matthews or Lake Eisenore (sp?) near Terra Cotta.
Scratch and crew would head east on 210 from the Arena then turn south on 57 to E10, then link up with Durai at S71.
Lakes mean no water worries, food and fertile ground to plant.
