Role in the Story So Far​

Zhang first appeared in the dungeon on Floor 2, alongside Li Jun, as a contestant on the Maestro's "Death Watch" game show. Both were Level 7 warehouse coworkers; Zhang's constitution of 15 was notably high. He described Li Na as "like my own sister" on the show, though he's in love with her.

On Floor 4, Zhang joined Carl's group after being rescued from Station 101. He and his companions Li Jun and Li Na all prioritized acid immunity after a Brindle Grub incident on Floor 2. During the Floor 4 rescue operation, Zhang used his one-charge shrink wand to reduce an interdiction cart to a size small enough to transport through Station 36's tight hallways. He also piloted one of the interdiction portal carts during the Trainyard E battle, maneuvering to enable the second mantaur portal throw.
