The Outcast: Iron-Blooded Southern Border

The protagonist, Tan Yue, transmigrates into the body of Wang Deming, a company commander in a Kuomintang reinforcement company in 1949. With the People's Liberation Army in pursuit, factional infighting within his own ranks, and a hellish start with no ammunition or food, even the seemingly most reasonable way to survive, defecting on the battlefield, is closed to him.

To stay alive, Tan Yue has no choice but to cast off the constraints of his former identity. Relying on hazy historical memories that reach beyond his era and an instinct for survival, he gathers a band of defeated soldiers with nowhere left to turn and takes another road to ruin: leading them south into the Southeast Asian peninsula, a land of political turmoil and dense jungle.

As the story unfolds, he quickly discovers that this world is far more uncanny and dangerous than he ever imagined. Here, there is Zhang Xilin from The Outcast, as well as a young Professor X and the mutant Wolverine...

Confronted by history's dark side and surging supernatural forces, he maneuvers among the various factions, struggling to survive in the cracks as he tries to establish a foothold.

The ancient “qi,” strange “supernatural abilities,” modern guns and cannons, and the currents of history collide. Tan Yue realizes that his challenge is not merely one of survival: he must uncover the truth of a bizarre, blended world hidden behind the curtain of history. On this chaotic land, he must carve out an unprecedented path of blood for himself and his followers, in the gap between ordinary people and extraordinary ones, history and legend.
