Croat’s accusation sparks new fears about supercharged undead
Summary
– Croat accuses Bruegel of using drugs to create faster zombies
– Discovery links Dead City to Daryl Dixon’s super-zombie storyline
– Upcoming episodes promise more franchise crossovers and fast zombie theories
The Walking Dead: Dead City raises the stakes with hints at a new breed of fast, drug-enhanced zombies. In a heated confrontation, the Croat lashes out at Bruegel, accusing him of injecting his champion zombie with stimulants to increase its speed and aggression. The accusations name drugs like methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine, sparking suspicions about supercharged walkers.
Bruegel brushes off the claims, insisting his champion is simply stronger. But the twist comes when it’s revealed the so-called zombie is Bruegel’s former bodyguard, Tony—very much alive. Negan quickly seizes the opportunity, blackmailing Bruegel and forcing him to side with the Dama, though the fast zombie rumor remains just that for now.
Still, the Croat’s drug theory ties Dead City to another Walking Dead spinoff, Daryl Dixon, where French group Pouvoir has already weaponized drug-injected “super-zombies.” The overlap deepens franchise lore, suggesting future crossovers and new threats. With several upcoming episodes set to air in June, fans are bracing for more fast zombie twists and new connections between shows.
