Background / History

Before the apocalypse, Yellow Hair was a petty thug. After becoming a Transcendent, he gained privileges within Shen Sui’s squad and enjoyed a level of fear and admiration he had never experienced before the disaster 3 6 7.

His connection with Lin Yu begins when he demands a share of Lin Yu’s reward and receives bread. Lin Yu deliberately treats the gift as a gesture of respect, recognizing that Yellow Hair rewards people who help him save face. Yellow Hair initially interprets the gesture as cowardice, but revises that judgment after Lin Yu volunteers to face the Red-Dressed Female Ghost 2 3 10.

Appearance

• Dyed blond hair, which gives him his nickname 2.
• Tattooed arms 2.
• Often presents himself with a swaggering posture, raised chin, and smug expression 2.

Personality

Yellow Hair is arrogant, foul-mouthed, and strongly concerned with saving face. Lin Yu considers him capable of nursing a humiliation for a month, while respecting someone who protects his dignity. He openly enjoys intimidating weaker survivors, stealing things, and showing off his status 3 7 49.

His generosity is selective but substantial. Once he accepts someone as a friend, he tries not to let that person lose out: he repeatedly defends Lin Yu’s contributions and eventually repays a piece of cream bread with 140 liters of gasoline. He also respects Lin Yu’s decision to keep the Transcendent Gate’s secrets rather than pressing for answers 24 27 31 48 49.

He enjoys fighting and electrocuting opponents, but is not indiscriminately willing to risk his life. He races into battle against the Road Bandits, yet questions why Lin Yu would face an unknown zombie dog merely for clothing. His loyalty to Shen Sui is firmer than his usual tolerance for insults: he will endure Zhai Guang insulting him, but not the captain 20 36 37 45.

Abilities & Skills

Lightning Manipulation

Yellow Hair releases lightning through his body and fists, using it in close-range combat 14 28 37.

• Electrified strikes: His punches discharge powerful lightning into an opponent 37.
• Numbing and burning: Repeated shocks leave Tie Qiu weakened and covered in charred burns 39.
• Conductive counter: Tie Qiu’s iron-element energy conducts and amplifies the lightning throughout his body. Activating that energy makes the shocks worse rather than protecting him 37 39.
• Matchup dependence: The narration states that Yellow Hair would normally be unable to defeat Tie Qiu. His advantage comes from the interaction between lightning and steel, not superior raw strength 37.

Transcendent Physical Abilities

Although not a strength-type Transcendent, Yellow Hair possesses strength well beyond an ordinary person’s 16.

• An enthusiastic hold around Lin Yu’s neck nearly prevents the still-unawakened Lin Yu from breathing 16.
• He throws selected sacrifice victims into a clearing with little effort 26.
• A rapid flying kick sends a reckless survivor more than ten meters away and breaks several ribs 29.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Silver-white Transcendent bicycle — His preferred transport, capable of accelerating away in a streak of silver light. He uses it to pursue the Road Bandits and reach the battlefield 7 19 36.
• Transport preference — Declines a looted vehicle after the bandit battle because he considers his bicycle cooler and cannot be bothered to drive 41.

Relationships

• Lin Yu — Develops from an ordinary survivor he can intimidate into a valued friend. Bread, Lin Yu’s apparent courage, and a shared rabbit meal strengthen the bond; Yellow Hair supports his reward claims and later gives him 140 liters of gasoline in repayment for the bread 2 10 16 24 27 48 49.
• Shen Sui — Captain whom he trusts and is ready to fight for. Their familiarity also allows petty retaliation: Yellow Hair takes extra potatoes to get back at Shen Sui for charging him storage fees 14 20 33.
• Zhai Guang — Combative teammate and frequent target of his teasing. Yellow Hair is normally wary of provoking him, but challenges him when defending Shen Sui or repaying Lin Yu’s generosity 7 16 20 40.
• Ye Qing — Fellow Transcendent who rejects his attempt to obtain free storage in her sports car, bluntly calling him ugly and leaving him embarrassed 32.
• Tie Qiu — Enemy whose steel-pathway abilities make him vulnerable to Yellow Hair’s lightning. Yellow Hair briefly considers recruiting him as a lightning amplifier, but accepts Lin Yu’s decision to kill him 37 39.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Huangyang Village

• Helps stop Zhai Guang from attacking Lin Yu and defends Shen Sui’s authority inside the mandatory instance 20.
• Intimidates reluctant survivors into entering the village and becomes the first teammate to support Lin Yu’s recommendation in the anomaly-versus-kraits vote 21 22.
• Joins Cheng Yuening and Zhai Guang in the finishing attack that destroys the Resentful Corpse’s head 24.
• Supports the sacrifice route over fighting unknown Ghouls, then forcibly gathers the selected victims. The completed sacrifice awards five F-Rank Gene Enhancers, one of which he uses 25 26 27 28.
• Kicks away a survivor attempting to choose the option to become “His follower,” preventing the man from reaching the screen before the group can be bound to the mysterious entity 29.

Greedy Wolf Road Gang

• Supports Shen Sui’s effort to stop frightened survivors from fleeing the encircled convoy 35.
• Rushes toward the rear attackers on his bicycle, worried that Zhai Guang will kill everyone before he arrives 36.
• Fights Tie Qiu after Lin Yu identifies lightning as the appropriate counter to steel, steadily overwhelming him with electric shocks 37 39.
• Explains Shen Sui’s Truth pathway and his habit of demonstrating his strength to newly joined Transcendents 40.

Later Convoy Events

• Regrets skipping the clothing Choice after seeing the others’ tailored outfits, then blames Zhai Guang despite his lack of involvement 46.
• Responds to the eruption of resentment from Lin Yu’s pickup, fearing an Anomaly has killed him. He is astonished to discover that Lin Yu has instead created a Transcendent Weapon 50.
