Appearance

Feng is tall and long-legged, with a thin frame, an overworked appearance, and notably lively eyes 34.

• Laboratory clothing: Introduced wearing a conspicuous white lab coat; later wears the institute’s white protective suit while inspecting the Zombie Fungus 34 49.
• Signs of exhaustion: During the outbreak, his hair resembles a bird’s nest, with pronounced dark circles and a sickly pallor. After three sleepless days and nights, even his usually animated eyes look dazed 49 50.
• Mutated form: A beagle, identified in a narrative note 49.

Personality

Feng is mischievous and openly interested in gossip, especially where Zhong Xuezhi is concerned. He questions Mu Yi about their relationship, eagerly accepts the implications of Mu Yi’s teasing, and later complains about having to watch them flirt while he remains single 34 35 49.

His enthusiasm for research can be equally unrestrained. Receiving the captured Hallucinogenic Mushroom leaves him hugging its container in delight, despite Zhong mocking his expression. Nevertheless, he respects Mu Yi’s refusal to permit DNA copying and agrees to wait until he is ready 36.

Beneath his humor, Feng is deeply troubled by humanity’s prospects. He explains that researchers’ understanding of the nuclear-blast calamity can make their work feel hopeless, then dismisses his own remarks as sleep-deprived rambling. His dedication also comes at a physical cost: preparations for antidote research and the subsequent invasion keep him awake for three consecutive days 36 50.

Abilities & Skills

Gravity Skill

Feng possesses an innate gravity skill, which he uses to float into the air beside Zhong and Mu Yi when responding to the emergency in Central Park 44.

• Allows him to reach an elevated position without climbing 44.
• No combat applications or broader limits are established in the supplied chapters.

Protective Barriers

Feng can raise multiple protective barriers 45.

• Shields nearby people when the unidentified mushroom begins releasing spores 45.
• The response does not fully contain the release: wind carries the first spores away before they can be secured 45.

Scent Detection

Feng detects Zhong’s strong scent on Mu Yi by sniffing him, prompting his questions about their closeness 34.

• Zhong calls this his “dog nose”; the scene does not formally name it as a separate skill 34.

Research Expertise

• Hallucinogen Antidote: Prepares research aimed at improving the existing antidote and takes a keen interest in Mu Yi’s unusual resistance to the Hallucinogenic Mushroom 34 50.
• Outbreak assessment: Recognizes the mushroom’s spores as a likely infection source and later reports an estimated incubation period of about a week 45 50.
• Laboratory resources: Has a portable bioelectric sensor in his lab and promptly arranges for Mu Yi to borrow it 50.

Equipment / Items

• Green access card — Allows him to escort Team 404 and Mu Yi through the Mutation Research Institute’s checkpoints by an express route 35.
• Institute protective suit — Worn while working near the contained Zombie Fungus 49.
• Portable bioelectric sensor — Loaned to Mu Yi. Its display misses fine signals, the assistant’s distinct scarlet patch, and the patch’s rhythmic activity 50.

Relationships

• Zhong Xuezhi — Childhood friend. They trade the nicknames “Feng Puppy” and “Little Xue,” and their long familiarity lets Feng respond to Zhong’s urgent call without requesting an explanation. Zhong also scolds him for neglecting sleep and his health 34 44 50.
• Mu Yi — Research prospect and willing accomplice in teasing Zhong. Feng respects his examination-only consent and supplies equipment when asked, without yet knowing what Mu Yi has observed 34 36 50.
• Grandfather Feng — His retired grandfather possesses a predictive ability. Feng firmly refuses Qiu Cai’s suggestion to seek a divination, explaining that predicting a crisis of this magnitude could cost the elderly man his life 50.
• Junior assistant — Accompanies Feng during the outbreak and retrieves his sensor. Mu Yi privately observes a scarlet bioelectric patch on the assistant’s back that appears to respond to the Zombie Fungus; Feng is not shown learning of this observation 49 50.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Mu Yi’s Arrival at the Institute

Feng meets Zhong’s returning group outside Crystal City and escorts them through an express entrance to deliver Experimental Sample 669. After hearing about Mu Yi’s encounter with the Hallucinogenic Mushroom, he becomes especially interested in him 34.

At the institute, Feng explains the despair behind the researchers’ familiar reaction to an apparent suicide. He then accepts the captured mushroom and honors Mu Yi’s restriction against DNA copying. Feng’s assistant conducts the examination, which finds Mu Yi healthy and mentally stable but detects no energy fluctuations or energy core 35 36.

Zombie Fungus Emergency

Called to Central Park by Zhong, Feng arrives with institute personnel and immediately uses his gravity skill to inspect Team 403’s afflicted healer. When the mushroom growing from the healer releases spores, Feng protects those nearby with barriers, though some spores have already escaped 44 45.

During the subsequent institute watch, Feng reports that detector development may require another day or two, leaving little time for mass screening within the estimated one-week incubation window. Despite his exhaustion, he arranges access to the bioelectric sensor that Mu Yi uses to compare the equipment’s readings with his own perception 49 50.
