Background / History

Wu Xuan attended sports school, where he practiced boxing and wrestling. Inspired by fictional bodyguards, he entered a bodyguard-training institution and became its youngest bodyguard after several years of training. He completed multiple assignments without failure before the apocalypse. 103

On the eve of the outbreak, Wu Xuan was assigned to protect Li Yichuan, the spoiled son of a wealthy Kyoto businessman. The catastrophe overwhelmed the escort before they could depart; several fellow bodyguards died during the ensuing fighting. Li Yichuan blamed Wu Xuan for the failure and dismissed him despite those losses. 100 103

Zhao Tianlei's group encountered and rescued Wu Xuan. Although he initially refused recruitment because he believed his bodyguard mission remained unfinished, Zhao recognized his value as a long-range specialist and gave him a spare pistol. Wu Xuan eventually joined the group. 101 103

Personality

Wu Xuan is disciplined and duty-driven. Even after being fired, he initially insisted that a bodyguard must complete his assigned mission, treating responsibility as a professional principle. 101

He is notably vigilant, calculating, and protective of group interests. He withholds sensitive information from uncertain allies, evaluates threats before acting, and can convincingly adopt a harmless or submissive persona during negotiations and infiltration. 144 196 436

His loyalty to Zhao Tianlei becomes central to his character. Zhao's willingness to risk himself for teammates earns Wu Xuan's trust, and Wu Xuan later pledges to oppose anyone who harms Zhao, the team's members, or their allies. 127 595

Wu Xuan is also competitive and proud of his sniper ability. He openly seeks to test himself against powerful shooters and opponents, though encounters with superior close-combat fighters temper that confidence. 518 575

Despite his professional composure, he is inexperienced and awkward around women. He blushes during interactions with Lin Xiaoxiao, and his past relationship ended partly because his girlfriend looked down on his bodyguard profession. 449 485

Abilities & Skills

Bodyguard Combat Training

Wu Xuan possesses a foundation in boxing, wrestling, close-quarters combat, restraint techniques, and hostage search-and-rescue training. His agility and reactions allow him to disarm or engage armed opponents at close range. 103 201 278

• Countered Li Xuyang's punches with clean blocks and a strike to the jaw. 101
• Briefly fought Tong Le in a rapid exchange of more than ten moves; Zhao Tianlei judged Wu Xuan slightly stronger, though Tong Le's resistance prevented a quick restraint. 278
• Demonstrated strong short-blade skills, though an expert at Guo Linhao's villa disarmed and overwhelmed him. 518
• His stated specialty is not close combat; he considers long-range sniping his stronger discipline. 518

Sniping and Firearms

Wu Xuan is a skilled marksman whose primary specialty is the sniper rifle rather than the handgun. Zhao Tianlei considers his long-range support a natural complement to his own melee fighting. 103

• Wounded the Enchanter with a sniper shot despite the monster's attempt to evade. 421
• Cooperated with Ye Chenfeng's suppressive machine-gun fire to create an opening against Lone Wolf. 583

• Concealed information from Director Ma's group to prevent outsiders from learning his team's circumstances and resources. 144
• Used his bodyguard training to locate Shen Xinyu without alerting her captors, then returned to report rather than attempting an unauthorized rescue. 201 217
• Infiltrated Lu Hong's supermarket through a small window, presented himself as a harmless survivor, and assessed the interior before calling in his companions. 436
• Detected Lone Wolf's approaching convoy and organized Yang Feng and Xu Haotian around a counter-ambush plan. 755 756
• Assumed the practical role of second-in-command after Li Xuyang's departure, with the team relying on his calm judgment during missions. 759

Evolver Physiology

After being bitten by a zombie during the conflict with Lone Wolf, Wu Xuan endured Primary Virus Evolution Fluid and survived the transformation into an Evolver. 585 591 593

• His evolution sharply improved his strength, speed, agility, and combat endurance. 594 595
• After evolving, he gained the upper hand against Shen Xingwen in a sparring match despite previously being unable to defeat him. 594 595
• He advances by killing zombies and accumulating experience, as explained by Zhao Tianlei. 596
• His increased power allows him to engage zombie hordes more directly, though this tendency worries his teammates. 650

• Li Xuyang — Initially challenged and provoked Wu Xuan as a recruitment test. They later become teammates, with Wu Xuan helping develop Li Xuyang's close-combat role. 101 180 181
• Ye Chenfeng — Teammate and combat partner. Ye Chenfeng supports Wu Xuan against Lone Wolf with suppressive fire and is among those relieved by Wu Xuan's survival. 583 593
• Shen Xingwen — Rival and fellow Evolver. Shen Xingwen initially surpasses Wu Xuan in close combat, but Wu Xuan overtakes him after evolving; their sparring is marked by mutual competitiveness. 538 594 595
• Li Yichuan — Former client whose dismissal leaves Wu Xuan without his original bodyguard assignment. 100 103
• Lin Xiaoxiao — Female survivor whose attention leaves Wu Xuan visibly shy and embarrassed. 449 452
• Yuanyuan — Drugged Wu Xuan, causing his public loss of control and humiliation at the restaurant. 478 479 500
