PD help!

Hi. I am a new player (on my second day), so please excuse my asking this question. I just woke up in a police station to find that, along with about 20 other survivors who were previousely here, there is now also a zombie (seems to be inactive/ asleep). I was just wondering if I sould attack him or not? I mean the building was very strongly barricaded and I hardly think he would go to the trouble of destroying a barricade only to find himself inside, alone amongst a group of more than 10 suvivors, and out of Action Points. So my guess is that he is probably here to be revived. But how do I know for sure? Please help me, as I would like not to get eaten, and would rather gain some XP if the opportunity presents itself.

If they're are looking for a revival, they'll probably Mrh? at you, or just do nothing.

Although he might have run out of action points before he could attack you.

It's pretty much your call.

Sounds to me like he's probably there to eat someone. Zombies usually don't worry about how much ap they have left when they're breaking into a building. They just attack as much as they can then let themselves get shot and dumped. If there's 20 survivors there and he already ran out of ap, then you've got nothing to worry about, but if you really think he's there for a revive, he'll probably just "Mrh?" and stand there, so there's still nothing to worry about.

Another possibility is that (s)he was a survivor, dying due to PKing/infection, so stood up in the building itself (like there was a choice?)

In cases like this, I prefer to DNA scan, check their profiles, then make the call based on their skills, group and description.
