Lu Hanxue

Biodata

Background / History

Trapped in Ice and Snow City

Lu Hanxue and Li Jie had been stranded in Ice and Snow City for three days when they encountered Lin Yi, Da Sha, and Clown. They sheltered inside an ice-sealed shop while investigating the enormous head atop the city’s tallest building. Lu Hanxue proposed a direct assault: fight through the monsters and kill their way up to it 32.

When the city’s nightly illusions exposed their hiding place, she led the breakout. She then ascended toward the huge head on floating ice footholds while Lin Yi and Li Jie fought toward Bai Xiaoyu’s trapped convoy 33.

Battle with the Blood Ghost

Lu Hanxue returned to the survivors badly wounded, coughing blood after fighting the Blood Ghost. Li Jie shielded her, while Lin Yi stayed behind because he considered her their strongest fighter and essential to their survival 35.

Despite her injuries, she attacked again, freezing the Blood Ghost and closing in with her sword. Its Bone Whip shattered her attack and threw her into a wall, but her assault gave Lin Yi an opening to strike. After Lin Yi destroyed its first form, its second form engulfed all three fighters in a Sea of Blood 36.

When the Blood Ghost abandoned them to pursue Lin Yi, Lu Hanxue created an ice sled drawn by moving ice huskies and retreated. She and Li Jie later returned with sleds to carry away the unconscious Lin Yi after Da Sha defeated the creature 37 40.

Protecting the Convoy

Still recovering from her injuries, Lu Hanxue sheltered the survivors in ice houses and cleared deep snow from their route. During a giant-wolf attack, she froze the pack with a blizzard. When the wolves teleported inside the defenses, she froze them together with the survivors to prevent anyone from being bitten 41 42.

She accompanied Lin Yi toward the Small Town and rode out to support him after his encounter with its giant snake. Later, she checked on him following his investigation of a wrecked convoy, explaining that Li Jie feared he had died 44 45 46.

Encounter with the Doomsday Train

Lu Hanxue received Zhang Chen’s group when the Doomsday Train stopped beside the convoy. She attacked Faqing with icicles after he openly ogled her; he deflected them, and Zhang Chen offered a sack of rice as an apology 47.

She left the trade negotiations to Liu Ning but joined her and Lin Yi aboard the train after consulting Lin Yi with a glance. She agreed to trade for eggs and later accepted vegetables Lin Yi presented as a gift 48 49.

When horrors surrounded the convoy that night, Lu Hanxue froze approaching sheep-headed creatures. After Lin Yi went to confront a formidable pregnant horror, she returned to fighting the attackers among the survivors 50.

Appearance

• Height: Approximately 168 centimeters 32.
• Hair: Waist-length 32.
• Clothing: White sportswear and earmuffs at her introduction 32.
• Weapon: A blue-green longsword carried on her back 32.
• Demeanor: Frequently stands with folded arms and an icy, impassive expression 32.

Personality

Lu Hanxue is terse, composed, and direct. Her proposed solution to Ice and Snow City’s controlling head is simply to kill her way toward it. Even when severely injured, she faces the Blood Ghost without visible fear and rises to continue fighting rather than answer Lin Yi’s question about whether she can still fight 32 35 36.

Her concern for others is usually expressed through action. She shelters the convoy, rescues the unconscious Lin Yi with Li Jie, and rides out to support Lin Yi despite having been told to leave first 40 41 45.

She is wary of outsiders and uncomfortable with interpersonal dealings. She yields negotiations to Liu Ning and describes earlier convoy encounters as untrustworthy based on a “feeling.” Her reserve does not prevent sharp retaliation: she strikes Li Jie with an ice crystal after his joke about her clothing and attacks Faqing for staring at her 33 47 48.

Her preexisting obsession with cleanliness is intensified by the price of her Sequence. After Lin Yi sits on her bed, she covers it with a block of ice and sleeps on that instead 32.
