Background

Lu Xi'an is a transmigrant who arrived in the apocalyptic world alone. During his early travels, he kept a diary beginning on Day 1, crossed dangerous territory while scavenging supplies, and survived hostile groups such as the Wolf Gang and Dog Gang. His diary ended on Day 100 when his pen ran out of ink. 1

Before meeting Yao Wei, Lu Xi'an found and repaired a Mechanical Dog he named Doggy, which became his primary companion, scout, and survival tool. He traveled through severe cold, wilderness, and abandoned settlements, gradually adapting from an inexperienced survivor into a capable New Human. 1 16

He met Yao Wei while defending a villa from intelligent hyenas. Though both initially distrusted each other, Lu Xi'an shared his water and food with her, learned that she had a car, and traded Cold Cream for a ride—with the condition that she take him somewhere suitable for survival. 3 4

Personality

Lu Xi'an is cautious around unfamiliar survivors, especially after his encounters with violent groups. He recognizes his own poor shooting ability and avoids wasting ammunition or exposing weaknesses when a fight can be avoided. 2 8 15

He is resourceful but not purely austere. Lu Xi'an believes that survivors should pursue comfort whenever possible, whether through properly cooked food, warm shelter, bathing, or heating. He considers excessive vigilance psychologically harmful. 8 24 34

Despite his guardedness, he is generous with supplies and willing to support people he considers trustworthy. He shares food and salt with Yao Wei, helps Luo Ping recover between battles, and gives Luo Ping white rice even after declining to join his base. 9 41 43

His humor and knowledge are shaped by memories from before his transmigration. He frequently references old stories, wuxia fiction, films, and everyday comforts that Yao Wei does not always understand. 14 35 43

New Human Physiology

Lu Xi'an possesses enhanced strength, stamina, and cold tolerance as a New Human, though he is still learning to think and act according to his changed physical capabilities. 5 34 44

• Can carry an air conditioner’s outdoor unit with ease, an act he notes would have been impossible in his previous life. 12
• Climbs down a cliff to investigate Fang Shuxin’s shelter with notable agility. 49

Technical Improvisation

Lu Xi'an can operate and repurpose electrical equipment, though he often relies on Doggy or Yao Wei’s tools to complete technical tasks.

Firearms and Combat Judgment

Lu Xi'an carries firearms and understands the risks of armed conflict, but openly acknowledges that his marksmanship is weak.

• Keeps a submachine gun ready when investigating threats. 1
• Avoids firing at the wild boar because gunfire could attract danger, waste bullets, and reveal his skill level. 8
• Leaves precision shooting and cover fire primarily to Yao Wei. 15 39
• Considers improvised weapons such as gold bars and pens, though these are ideas rather than confirmed combat techniques. 16 21
