The synth blood was a way for the new society to feed the disease without succumbing entirely. It was a compromise measure which still kept them human for a time. But still, they were altered enough that Neville had become more of a threat than the vampires themselves. The factory angle was not from I Am Legend, the book. As far as Neville & these hybrids knew, there were no other humans to collect. However, in the 1979 film: Thirst
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080016/, a Countess Bathory cult used people as cattle. Likewise, in my zombie/vampire story; Preservation of A Species( HPOTD fiction, 2000), my vampire society had started to collect humans in various safe zones.
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
