Fu Qingdai

Biodata

Background / History

Fu Qingdai lived with her parents, Fu Hu and Zhang Wan, and attended Dragon Mountain Middle School. For nearly half a month, she experienced recurring, intensely realistic nightmares of endless rain, hunger, cold, and people eating one another. After the third dream, she began noticing that real weather matched scenes she had already seen 3 5.

Her warnings were dismissed as academic stress or mental instability. Zhang Wan urged her to concentrate on homework, while classmates treated her fears as evidence that she was losing her sanity. Unable to persuade them, Qingdai sought money for preparations, including a hundred-yuan loan from Gao Peng 3.

She eventually borrowed more than ten thousand yuan from over a hundred boys at school and buried it beneath a marked tree near her home. She also assembled three notebooks covering her dreams, practical information, and local maps. Even after being sent to Longshan City Psychiatric Hospital, she continued waiting for the helper promised by a voice in her dream 4 7.

Appearance

Fu Qingdai is described as exceptionally pretty and is known at school as its belle 3 4.

• Build: Thin, with slender shoulders and legs; Su Jin urges her to eat more before the disaster 3 7 38.
• Hair: Dark 21.
• Facial features: A delicate face, wide eyes, and pink lips 3 15.
• Clothing: Wears a hospital gown during her confinement and plain white pajamas at home 3 4 18.

Personality

Qingdai is frightened by the coming disaster but remains resourceful under sustained disbelief. She records uncertain dream details rather than presenting them as definite, prepares carefully scaled maps, and gathers funds despite having little independence. Her work changes Su Jin’s initial impression of her: he comes to admire her resilience and usefulness as a client 7 10.

Her concern extends beyond her own survival. She insists that Su Jin save her parents and asks about her friends and grandparents. She also objects to his characterization of her loans as scams, promising repayment even if she must work or sell her blood. Although she often cries under pressure, she can be stubborn: she refuses to abandon her family and later insists on fetching water for Su Jin despite barely being able to stand after training 7 19 41.

Abilities & Skills

Apocalypse-Warning Dreams

Her dreams provide advance warning of the disaster and of Su Jin’s arrival. They predict a five-day torrential downpour beginning seven days after their first meeting, followed by madness and widespread violence 4 5.

• Early corroboration: Distinctive cloud formations match scenes in her dreams 3.
• Recognition: She recognizes Su Jin as the man she saw carrying a bag and gun amid an apocalyptic landscape 4.
• Source and limits: Su Jin later concludes that the company fabricated and “pushed” the dreams to her. The actual rainfall changes and remaining water’s loss of infectiousness differ from the dream, so it is not a perfectly accurate forecast 25.
• Unconfirmed future power: Su Jin speculates that she might eventually develop an ability to detect Disguised Infected; no such awakening is documented 48.

Research and Survival Planning

Qingdai prepares information specifically to help an outsider navigate her world 7.

• Records each dream in detail and marks anything she cannot remember clearly 7.
• Collects practical knowledge and newspaper clippings 7.
• Maps grain shops, hospitals, police stations, supermarkets, pharmacies, and gas supply stations 7.
• Draws her residential complex with a ruler and represents nearby shops approximately to scale 10.

Archery and Physical Conditioning

Su Jin trains Qingdai to improve her strength, stamina, and ability to use a fifty-pound bow. Her training advances from indoor practice to facing a restrained zombie, but no superpower awakening or ranked advancement is shown 21 31 44.

• Uses stones and bricks for resistance exercises and takes whey protein supplied in a pig-feed sack 31 38.
• Practices archery across the opened apartments, initially using quilts as targets 31.
• Assists Su Jin in restraining a zombie, then receives instructions to practice on it as a live target 44.

Equipment / Items

• Three notebooks — Dream records, practical reference material, and maps; handed to Su Jin for his preparations 7.
• Buried emergency funds — More than ten thousand yuan borrowed from schoolboys and hidden in a biscuit tin near Building Seven 7 10.

• Poisonous chocolate — Given by Su Jin as a defensive measure, with instructions not to eat it herself or let her parents eat it 41.
• Equipment restriction — Cannot pull the Silver Spear’s trigger or access the Spatial Briefcase’s contents; Su Jin determines that company-issued equipment is bound to him 41.

Relationships

• Su Jin / Li Haocheng — Her assigned protector. They initially pose as cousins, and she later calls him “big brother.” She relies on him for reassurance but also supplies the information and funds essential to his preparations 4 7 21 25.
• Fu Hu — Her father, a retired soldier. Initially rejects her warnings and favors psychiatric treatment; later joins Su Jin in protecting her and trains alongside her 13 15 27 31.
• Zhang Wan — Her mother, a textile-mill worker. Attributes the dreams to school pressure but visits her daily in hospital. Qingdai remains deeply worried about her after the missile strike leaves her unconscious 3 5 13 25 30.
• Xiao Ning — Her deskmate, whom she warns about dangerous rain and urges to stock food and seal the house; Xiao Ning does not take the warning seriously 3.
• Gao Peng — A schoolmate who lends her one hundred yuan 3.
• Ding Jia — A hospital nurse whose advocacy helps secure Qingdai’s discharge after Su Jin intervenes 7 12.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Hospital Rescue and Preparation

• Recognizes Su Jin in the hospital, taking his appearance as confirmation that the apocalypse is real 4.
• Accepts his fabricated explanation involving Namekians and Trisolaran pirates. His claim that she possesses antibodies needed for a cure is part of that explanation, not a demonstrated ability 6.
• Returns home after Ding Jia speaks on her behalf, then helps Su Jin maintain his official persona before her parents through rehearsed questions 12 16.
• Secretly obtains additional money for preparations, though she fears being caught stealing and sent back to hospital 18 19.

Collapse of Rescue Hopes
