Role in the Story So Far
Zhang joined Carl's group on Floor 4 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. He appears to be in love with Li Na, though Li Jun seems unaware.
Known Relationships
On Floor 9 (Book 7), Zhang entered the stairwell alone. His relationship with Li Na remained unresolved — she did not speak to him when they descended.
