Background

Gu Hang had served in the military for nine years and remained an active-duty soldier when the apocalypse began during his leave. His specialized training gave him strong physical conditioning, combat discipline, and driving skills, but he initially lacked the weapons and protection needed to confront zombies safely. 74 83 113

During the early apocalypse, he stayed with the pregnant Yang Hui after her husband, Qian Jiahao, abandoned her. While searching for medicine and supplies, Gu Hang became trapped amid zombies and witnessed Lin Fan slaughter an entire group with Frostmourne. Stunned by Lin Fan's strength, he accepted Lin Fan's offer to relocate with Yang Hui to Sunshine Residential Complex. 74 121

At the complex, Gu Hang found a community where survivors worked together rather than merely endured. He committed himself to contributing as a soldier and eventually vowed to risk his life for the residents' safety after Lin Fan entrusted him with combat equipment. 77 111
