Barnaby wouldn't head there in that case. C'mon, the guy practically created the zombies, he's gonna notice something's weird if they start appearing in a small town. Plus, the time difference between Carlito noticing what's happening, him notifying Barnaby (by whatever means), and Barnaby actually getting there just doesn't add up. Not to mention the zombie outbreak never caught anybody's attention besides those already in Willamette, so there was no way Carlito could've found out about it unless he started it.
