oo quick few questions what type of zombie outspread is it? Is it like the last of us where zombies can basically rot away into fungus, the usual walking dead type of zombies, like if you swallow/get zombie blood in you you are one or you only become one if you are bitten and/or scratched?

Sorry for not answering this sooner. It kind of got lost in all the shuffle, hun. 

This is... The Walking Dead. This isn't The Last of Us, or Left 4 Dead, or Killing Floor. As established by the AMC series, everyone is already infected. They're all carriers for the infection. Typical zombie model applies in that bites are infectious, scratches too. Quick action such as quick amputation can save a character's life, if done properly. If done wrong, amputation can be just as fatal. Regular infections can be a real issue without modern antiseptics and modern antibiotics. I would say that being internally exposed to zombie gore is very dangerous. Protective gear is recommended, for sure. But, since zombie blood is pretty much coagulated gel, it clumps in thick globs doesn't splatter as much as live blood. It won't travel as far either. 

Keep your mouth shut in close combat, and it would be a good idea to turn away if swinging something messy or shooting something that creates lots of backsplash. Somebody who's careful though can work their way through a group in just a few moments without much risk of getting direct blood or internal exposure.
