Green Radish

Biodata

Background / History

Early convoy encounters

Green Radish first demonstrates her healing by treating a survivor bitten by a burrowing insect. Her pink mist closes his wound within moments, but leaves him laughing uncontrollably. She dismisses this as a minor side effect and advertises free treatment to encourage the survivors to continue searching for Ghost Cash 13.

During the confrontation with the school principal, she is injured when his black mist intercepts Niu Wudi’s attempt to throw her and several companions over the fence. She immediately begins treating herself and the others. Later, she notices that the principal stops fighting when Niu Wudi stops attacking and tells him to stand down 19.

Escape from the Red-Clothed Opera Performer

Green Radish repeatedly restores Niu Wudi while he holds off the Red-Clothed Opera Performer. Her treatment also enables him to fight as a four-armed Giant Bear. Eventually, the strain leaves her deathly pale, and she borrows one thousand Ghost Cash from Lin Qi. She offers him a place in her squad; when he declines, she promises to protect him within the convoy instead 22.

When Niu Wudi falls nearby with almost his entire body transformed into paper, Green Radish stops her truck and runs to him beneath an umbrella despite having already pushed her ability to its limit. Lin Qi diverts the approaching Opera Performer with Ghost Cash, inadvertently entering an unwanted betrothal. Afterward, Green Radish helps the weakened Niu Wudi back to the truck and agrees to ask the captain about Lin Qi’s predicament 22 23.

She later reports the captain’s conclusion: Lin Qi has been cursed. Failing to pay the bride price will kill him, while paying it means being taken away by the performer, with his survival uncertain. When Lin Qi then asks about his thousand Ghost Cash, she disappears into the crowd without repaying him 27.

Protecting Lin Qi

After Lin Qi strikes an old woman who is harassing him, Green Radish intervenes and heals her swollen cheek. The woman subsequently loses the use of an arm, her voice, and her ability to stand. Green Radish attributes these effects to random treatment costs, but Lin Qi interprets the intervention as deliberate retaliation on his behalf 25 26.

When the woman later dies through cursed banknotes and becomes a paper figure, Green Radish takes the body away to study 28 29.

Green Radish also prevents Wang Hu from taking Lin Qi’s SUV and supplies by publicly declaring him under her protection. After Huang Li insults her and Wang Hu slaps Huang Li, Green Radish heals the injured woman’s face. In private, she tells Lin Qi that the captain used his ability to attract the newcomers and that ordinary survivors serve as expendables for the Extraordinaries’ survival 41 42.

The student bus incident

Sensing trouble when Lin Qi enters the students’ bus, Green Radish leaves to fetch reinforcements rather than entering herself. She returns to find him carrying the injured Yi Xue out past the bodies of Li Xiang’s attackers. His ability to defeat so many opponents turns her casual recruitment interest into a serious desire to bring him to her side 42.

After inspecting the abused captives, she rejects a subordinate’s suggestion that Lin Qi should be expelled, identifying his actions as self-defense. She orders the survivors taken away and cared for—with charges—and has the attackers’ corpses stored as future bait for anomalies 43.

Convoy uprising and Lin Qi’s recognition

Green Radish remains calm when Wang Hu’s followers surround the Transcendent Squad. Asked by the captain whether she or he should act, she replies that she has no Ghost Cash. The captain then kills the attackers with his wondrous item, mental shock. She recognizes that using it has caused internal injuries and offers treatment, which he emphatically refuses 45.

Later, she escorts Lin Qi to the captain after his lightning ability draws the squad’s attention. Once Lin Qi leaves the meeting as an independent Extraordinary, she challenges the captain’s explanation for restricting Ghost Well entry. She recalls that his actual concern was the number of corpses required and the risk of breaking the survivors’ morale, rather than the inter-convoy agreement he had claimed 49 50.

Appearance

• Green clothing: Wears a green dress or outfit resembling that of an ancient swordswoman 13.
• Long braid: Her braid sways behind her as she walks 27 50.
• Youthful features: Described as a young woman with large eyes and cherry-red lips 23 26 27.
• Visible exhaustion: Repeated healing during the village escape leaves her face deathly pale 22.

Personality

Green Radish is teasing, irreverent, and difficult to intimidate. She speaks bluntly to the captain, mocks Lin Qi’s accidental proposal to an anomaly, and maintains a conspicuously innocent manner when explaining unpleasant healing effects. When the captain warns Lin Qi that she is “no good,” she grabs his ear until he retracts the remark 20 23 26 29.

Her concern is selective rather than universally compassionate. She risks herself to reach Niu Wudi and follows through on her promise to protect Lin Qi, yet openly regards ordinary survivors as expendable. Her orders after the bus incident combine practical care for the victims with charging them and preserving corpses for use against anomalies 23 41 42 43.

She is unusually eager to treat injuries, repeatedly offering Lin Qi healing even after he refuses. Both Lin Qi and the captain distrust these offers; Lin Qi suspects an undisclosed benefit to her, but the provided chapters do not reveal one 20 38 41 45.

Abilities & Skills

Extraordinary Healing

Green Radish produces pink mist or light that rapidly repairs injuries 13 26.

• Heals an insect bite and severe facial swelling within moments 13 26.
• Can treat herself as well as other people 19.
• Repeatedly restores Niu Wudi sufficiently for him to return to battle, including during his paper transformation 22.
• Has an exertion limit: sustained treatment leaves her visibly exhausted 22 23.
• Her assurances about saving a poisoned test subject explicitly stop short of someone who dies immediately 30.

Treatment Effects and Enhancement

Her healing can produce effects beyond closing wounds 13 22 26.

• Compulsive laughter: The insect-bite patient cannot stop laughing after treatment 13.
• Physical impairment: The old woman loses arm movement, speech, and the ability to stand after being healed 26.
• Combat enhancement: Niu Wudi gains two additional arms and fights as a four-armed Giant Bear following her treatment 22.
• Duration: A previously treated survivor says the side effects last one day 26.
• Uncertain control: Green Radish claims the costs are random and cannot be removed. Lin Qi doubts this because Niu Wudi receives beneficial enhancement instead of comparable impairments; her precise degree of control remains unconfirmed 26.

Escape and Survival

Niu Wudi knows that Green Radish possesses an ability allowing her to escape combat unharmed. Its name and mechanism are not disclosed 19.

• She confidently claims she can survive the school crisis even if Niu Wudi dies 20.
• Niu Wudi later identifies her and the captain as exceptionally difficult to kill 48.
• She is repeatedly described as lacking direct fighting ability and seeks reinforcements when she senses danger inside the students’ bus 23 42 43.

Supernatural Observation

• Recognizes that the school principal is responding to attacks rather than continuing combat independently 19.
• Takes the old woman’s paper-transformed corpse for examination 29.
• Identifies the captain’s internal injuries after his use of a wondrous item 45.

Equipment / Items

• Small truck — Travels in its passenger seat and uses it as a mobile treatment point for Niu Wudi 13 22 30.
• Umbrella — Takes it from the truck when crossing the falling cursed paper money to reach Niu Wudi; the money landing on it does not harm her 23.

Relationships

• Lin Qi — Debtor, protector, and prospective recruiter. He lends her one thousand Ghost Cash and diverts the Opera Performer from her; she protects him from convoy troublemakers. He nevertheless refuses her healing because he distrusts its hidden costs 22 23 27 38 41.
• Niu Wudi — Frontline teammate whom she repeatedly heals and enhances. Their insults coexist with mutual concern: she risks reaching him when he is incapacitated, while he protests that she has already exhausted herself 22 23.
• The captain — Fellow convoy authority with whom she has an informal, argumentative rapport. She can publicly manhandle him, questions his explanations, and offers healing he refuses to accept 29 45 50.
• Young woman driver — Subordinate whom Green Radish uses to test potentially unsafe rainwater. The driver’s resigned reaction suggests this is not her first experience as Green Radish’s test subject 30.
• Teacher Gu and the surviving captives — Orders their care after the bus incident, while instructing her subordinates to charge them 43.
