Never mentioned by the group at all, I felt bad for the little guy. He made it so far and didn't even get a send off, just mysteriously gone.

      The whole point of this experiment in the books is that WICKED doesn't know why they're immune to the Flare. The Flare isn't a zombie virus; it's a virus that breaks down the brain and causes severe mania in the victims. They're still alive and breathing and concious, but they're going insane. WICKED knows that something about the immunes' brains renders them immune to the virus, so they run them through these experiments to test different reactions and see how it responds to the virus. Then they'd use that data to synthesize a cure.

    Regarding the lightning that appears to be actively chasing them: In the book it’s implied, and outright speculated by Thomas, that the lighting is being artificially created by WICKED. The film keeps this scene but without any hints or theorizing about its origin. One reason for this change is that the WICKED org of the movie doesn't have the level of technology required as the book counterpart does.
