@ghostt as far as the bat goes, he's a pitcher. His arm muscles are best suited for throwing, hence why he was able to imbed a cell phone in a zombie's head like a ninja star (if he wasn't a pussy he could probably be a badass), and not swinging a bat. But the girls being op is odd as fuck, especially martial arts girl since one bite is all it takes and you'd think at SOME POINT during all this head kicking those clean-shaven and oh so bare legs would have made contact with the teeth of some zombie.
Honestly, I just find the damsel in distress narrative being flipped a lot of fun compared to the usual, even if there are questions I really want answered. Besides, it's chapter three. there are supposed to be a lot questions at this point.
