Background / History

Li Weisen grew up under the reputation of his father, a celebrated base leader who died in the Second Human-Variant War. His father had rescued Damon from a battlefield, trained him, and made him his right-hand man. Damon succeeded him during the ensuing crisis. Li respected Damon’s abilities and his father’s judgment, but felt that Damon lacked something essential to being human and never fully accepted him as leader 9 10.

Shen Weilai, the former captain of Squad Two, was Li’s teacher and the person closest to him. Shen’s death at Lei Ouyan’s hands became the basis of Li’s hostility toward Lei. Believing Lei had murdered his own teammate, Li vowed to avenge Shen and rejected Chris’s insistence that the two men needed to trust one another 3.

Chris eventually told Li what had happened: Shen was infected while saving her, transformed, and killed a teammate. The base ordered his execution, but Chris could not carry it out. Lei fired to prevent further deaths and was subsequently blamed by those who had not understood the circumstances. After hearing the account, Li withdrew to his balcony and remained silent for a long time 9.

Appearance

• Hair: Short and brown 3.
• Clothing: Black combat uniform, with a long blade carried at his waist 3.
• Habitual accessory: A slender cigarette frequently hangs from his lips 3 4 5 8.
• Expression: Initially described as defiant and unruly; his first appearance includes an unhealed facial cut from a recent fight 3.
• Resemblance: Looks sufficiently like Qin Miaomiao’s class monitor that Qin initially mistakes him for the same person 3 4.

Personality

Li is proud, impatient, and easily provoked, particularly when Lei ignores him. He openly seeks confrontations and uses Qin’s apparent preference for him to irritate Lei. Unlike Lei, he enjoys public recognition, accepting the crowds’ praise after the Chaozhou Desert mission without embarrassment 3 4 6.

Protecting humanity’s remaining territory is the mission around which Li defines his life. Initially, this conviction makes him ruthless toward potential threats: despite Qin’s normal test results and protected status, he sends the rabbit to the Variant Prison because he considers even an uncertain risk unacceptable. Uncle Zhou challenges both his fixation on the past and his refusal to recognize that Lei shares his goal 4.

Li also believes in repaying kindness. Repeated rescues complicate his hatred of Lei, and he eventually risks punishment to protect both Lei and Qin. He remains abrasive while helping them, often disguising concern as irritation or repayment of a debt 5 8 9 11.

Although he refuses to let authorities decide that his life is expendable, he willingly risks it for humanity’s defense. His final stand against the White Ling Bird gives him the battlefield purpose he has long sought 8 11.

Abilities & Skills

Blade Combat

Li fights primarily with his family’s ancestral long blade and favors direct, head-on attacks 5 10.

• Has defeated a Level I variant alone 5.
• Severs a squid-like enemy’s limb to free Lei during the desert mission 5.
• Cuts through both eyes of a Level III Peacock Mantis Shrimp with Lei’s support, temporarily bringing it down 10.
• Repeatedly attacks the White Ling Bird despite reopened wounds, eventually driving his damaged blade into its eye 11.
• His frontal style leaves him vulnerable to opponents with superior speed and force; the Peacock Mantis Shrimp overpowers his guard and injures him 10.

Combat Pod Operation

Li operates a combat pod capable of drilling underground and deploying blades to cut through soil 5.

• Descends approximately thirty meters during the Chaozhou Desert operation 5.
• Continues forward after losing communications, becoming trapped when the pod’s electrical and emergency systems fail 5.
• Escapes in Lei’s pod to report the situation to command 5.

Command and Security Access

As Execution Team Two’s deputy captain and the former director’s son, Li possesses both operational authority and inherited access privileges 3 9.

• Directs his team during the desert mission and participates in attacks on the variant’s branchial hearts 5.
• Uses his father’s authorization to enter the heavily guarded administrative center 9.
• Exploits the guards’ reluctance to offend him to avoid a security inspection while smuggling Qin out 9.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Ancestral long blade — A treasured family weapon. Lei borrows it inside the desert variant, and Qin later uses it to destroy the artificial main heart. It is returned to Li afterward and becomes chipped during his final battle 5 11.
• Combat pod — Used for underground travel; his own pod is destroyed during the Chaozhou Desert mission 5.
• Tracker — Placed on Qin for surveillance, then handed to Lei so he can locate the rabbit after the variant’s destruction 5.
• Emergency medicine — Shares it with the injured Lei while sheltering in the Fog Forest 8.
• Arm cast and sling — Uses the empty sleeve beneath his cast to conceal Qin during the escape from Damon’s custody 9.

Relationships

• Shen Weilai — Teacher and closest companion. Li’s grief over Shen’s death drives his vow of revenge against Lei 3.
• Lei Ouyan — Rival who becomes an ally. Their cooperation begins with reciprocal rescues; Li later protects Lei from Damon and acknowledges that he owes him a debt 5 8 9 11.
• Qin Miaomiao — Initially a suspected mutant whom Li drugs and imprisons. He later helps locate Qin, shelters him from Damon, accepts him as Lei’s best combat partner, and breaks him out of prison again 4 5 9 10 11.
• Chris — Commander who challenges his hostility toward Lei. Her eventual confession reveals the circumstances of Shen’s death 3 9.
• Damon — His father’s protégé and successor. Li respects his competence but distrusts his humanity, ultimately defying his orders to rescue Qin 9 11.
• Uncle Zhou — An elder Li treats with unusual respect. Zhou urges him to communicate with Lei and reconsider his assumptions; he later notices but does not expose Li’s suspicious conduct while rescuing Qin 4 9.
• His father — A revered figure whose legacy shapes Li’s desire for battlefield achievements and grants him access privileges unavailable to other officers 9 10.
