Welcome.
You have just entered my mind. Please sign the contract before continuing further into this black hole to acknowledge I am not at fault if any mental/physical damage is caused to you whilst viewing my history. If any damage to yourself is caused, please call your whaambulance for advice.
Well because the description of the scene is not very clear, I'm going to assume the zombies are only walkers and are 2km's/miles (whichever suits you) behind.
In this case, I'd just pick him up or what-not and carry on walking.
