Well, obviously he’s not dead.

We thought he was, but he was not quite as dead as we thought, you see.

The Construction Worker was taken down by a tram, but his work at the mine exposed him to a great deal of uranium, which gave him extra hidden vitality and resuscitated him after his apparent tram demise. Breathe.

He and all the Construction Workers of Perthville are now immune from infection due to that handy bit of uranium, and now they’re off to Ringer’s Ruins to confront the Zombies.

Good to know uranium is good for something.
