Background / History

Before the apocalypse, Song Shiya worked as a doctor. She is the younger sister of Song Lei, the veteran and delivery driver who formed the Rock Carriage Team to shelter survivors 2 3.

Within the team, she served as a trusted adviser to her brother. Song Lei relied heavily on her judgment, while Steward Huang reported roll-call information to her 3 12.

Appearance

• Build and features: Tall and slender, with a fair, oval face and gentle features 17 43.
• Hair: Long, dark brown curls with wispy bangs 3 17.
• Eyes: Bright, round almond-shaped eyes with a watery sheen 3.
• Early clothing: A pale pink striped shirt and blue jeans, giving her a girlish appearance that contrasts with her composed demeanor 3.
• Face covering: Usually wore a mask during the convoy’s early travels, keeping much of her face hidden 3.

Personality

Song Shiya is observant, analytical, and direct. She suspects Shen Ye’s hidden Sequence abilities from his unusual stamina and strength, questions Steward Huang’s supposedly selfless concern for the convoy, and recognizes discrepancies between mapped distances and actual travel time 3 6 15 16.

Her compassion does not make her indiscriminately trusting. After Song Lei’s death, she refuses to admit an unfamiliar survivor into her vehicle, yet repeatedly risks herself to treat Shen Ye. She expects their cooperation to involve mutual trust rather than one-sided dependence and confronts him when his guardedness makes her feel like an outsider 15 18 38 40.

Her brother’s death briefly overwhelms her judgment: she directs her grief at An Ning before recognizing that she is looking for someone to blame. As her bond with Shen Ye develops, her teasing and laughter return, though she remains protective of her dignity and reluctant to assume that intimacy means a committed relationship 13 43.

Abilities & Skills

Light of Holy Healing

Her principal Healer skill treats injuries and dispels low-tier toxins through supernatural light 13.

• Wound treatment: Heals Shen Ye’s claw wounds, bruised ribs, punctures, and corrosive burns 14 19 26 39.
• Emergency stabilization: Stops life-threatening bleeding after Chen Na shoots Shen Ye 49.
• Combat support: Can apply healing during a fight, keeping Shen Ye functional against Zhao Biao and the Oil-Shadow Ghosts 18 38.
• Poison limitation: Cannot neutralize the tier-two Snake Demon’s venom. Concentrating her radiance slows its spread through Song Lei’s body but does not stop it 10 11.
• Exhaustion: Repeated treatment severely drains her mental and physical strength; after the Tree Spirit escape, she falls asleep while finishing Shen Ye’s treatment 25 26.
• Dangerous mismatch: Her final attempt to heal Song Lei causes additional pain as the poison reacts against her light 12.

Inspiration

A targeted support skill that makes its recipient immune to some injury-related pain 13.

• Reduces Shen Ye’s severe pain by more than half during his fight with Zhao Biao, allowing him to continue fighting 18.
• Provides temporary relief rather than repairing the underlying injury; the pain returns when its effect fades 19.

Medical Knowledge

Her pre-apocalypse medical background informs both her treatment and her response to unfamiliar Sequence effects 3 19 41.

• Recognizes that Shen Ye may have cracked ribs after the Giant fight 19.
• Helps investigate his post-combat compulsion after overeating fails to prevent loss of control 40 41.
• Volunteers to test sexual gratification as an alternative way to suppress the compulsion; it successfully relieves his symptoms 41 42.

Observation, Planning, and Logistics

Song Shiya contributes practical analysis beyond her healing role 3 17.

• Infers that Shen Ye may be a sequencer from his bicycle travel, remaining stamina, and unusually powerful kick 3.
• Negotiates the Life Disk’s purchase for five packets of instant noodles, preventing her generous brother from offering more 4.
• Identifies stretching roads and missing buildings as signs that the world’s geography is changing 6 15 16.
• Warns that continuing toward the densely populated Pearl River Delta would expose the group to concentrated Eldritch danger 16.
• Takes over driving while Shen Ye is unconscious and monitors the convoy’s dwindling fuel 35 36.
• Finds a working manual fuel pump, bottled water, and snacks during the Oil-Shadow Ghost encounter 38 39.

Combat Limitations

• Her Healer Sequence is poorly suited to direct combat; she usually supports a stronger fighter rather than confronting enemies herself 12 16 36.
• Lacks Shen Ye’s combat instincts and cannot react effectively when Chen Na threatens her at close range 49.
• Her false claim that she can detect lies is a bluff, not a Sequence ability 12.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Huolala delivery truck — Her vehicle and supply transport; abandoned when Man-Eating Tree Spirits cover it in vines 26.
• Map — Used to compare expected distances with actual travel and identify changes in the landscape 6 15 16.
• Song Lei’s wristwatch — Left to her before his death; she checks it while deciding to halt the convoy until dawn 41.
• Life Disk, formerly held — A bronze Weird Object that detects nearby uncanny energy at a cost. She helps arrange its acquisition; Shen Ye later identifies it as an item he obtained from her 4 12 16.
• Flashlight — Used during the nighttime gas-station expedition and her rescue of Shen Ye 38.

Relationships

• Song Lei — Older brother and former protector. She desperately tries to cure his fatal poisoning before accepting his request for a quick death. He entrusts her safety to Shen Ye 3 10 11 12.
• Shen Ye — Combat partner, fellow deputy captain, and later intimate partner. Their repeated rescues develop into mutual concern and attraction, but his secrecy causes conflict, and she explicitly rejects treating their sexual encounter as proof of a relationship 17 18 38 40 42 43.
• An Ning — Fellow survivor and Dawn Convoy captain. Song Shiya initially blames her for withholding a danger warning, then accepts that the deaths were not her fault. An Ning later protects her from Chen Na’s gunfire 13 17 18 49.
• Lin Wanqiu — Fellow Dawn Convoy member who offers her shelter in the Volvo after she loses her truck 18 32.
• Steward Huang — Former convoy steward. She challenges his motives and negotiates with him over the Life Disk; his reports also keep her informed about the team’s personnel 3 4 12.
• Chen Na — Enemy who takes her hostage to control Shen Ye, then fires five shots at her when that leverage fails 49.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rock Carriage Team and Changchun Village

• Advises Song Lei about Shen Ye’s possible hidden powers and challenges Huang’s push to search for supplies 3.
• Notices that the convoy should have reached its next village sooner, providing an early indication of altered geography 6.
• Survives the supermarket’s Snake Demon outbreak under Song Lei’s protection and escapes through the doors Shen Ye opens 8 10.
• Reveals her Healer Sequence while treating her brother. Unable to cure his venom, she slows its spread and helps organize the escape 10 11.
• Accepts Song Lei’s decision to die after he disbands the team. She then questions An Ning about why she remained outside the village 12 13.

Formation of the Dawn Convoy

• Explains why old maps are becoming unreliable and warns against traveling deeper into the Pearl River Delta 15 16.
• Proposes re-forming the convoy. Shen Ye assigns her planning and logistics while An Ning handles direction and he handles combat 17.
• Becomes one of the Dawn Convoy’s two deputy captains and provides healing and pain suppression during Zhao Biao’s attack 18 19.

Tree Spirit Escape and Qianxing Village

• Abandons her overrun truck and escapes in Shen Ye’s RV, losing the supplies stored in her vehicle 26.
• Continues treating Shen Ye until exhaustion overtakes her, leaving her asleep during the Qianxing Village expedition 26 27.
• After leaving the village, discusses whether its powerful Eldritch concealed their strength or exceeded An Ning’s detection ability 31.
• Moves temporarily into Lin Wanqiu’s Volvo after losing her own vehicle 32.

Oil-Shadow Ghosts and Shen Ye’s Side Effect

• Finds Shen Ye unconscious after his second-sequence awakening, moves him to the bed, and drives in his place 35.
• Accompanies him into a gas station at night and saves him from suffocation by the Oil-Shadow Ghosts despite having an untreated arm wound herself 36 38.
• Confronts his compulsive eating and insistence on secrecy, prompting him to explain his dangerous post-combat urges 40.
• Remains concerned after he nearly attacks her and volunteers to help suppress the compulsion 41.
• Her initial sexual treatment relieves his symptoms. Shen Ye falsely claims the relief is incomplete to prolong their intimacy; afterward, she continues to distinguish their encounter from a formal relationship 42 43.

Blood Eagle Convoy Confrontation

• Heals Shen Ye after Chen Na shoots him, preventing fatal blood loss 49.
• Becomes Chen Na’s hostage and is threatened with execution unless Shen Ye drops his weapon 49.
• Survives five point-blank shots when the newly awakened An Ning surrounds her with white mist that makes the bullets disappear 49.
