Meanwhile, in the bustling city of Beijing, Dabao moved silently through the shadows of a dimly lit alley. The air was thick with the scent of rain, and neon lights flickered above him, reflecting off the wet pavement. He adjusted his mask, scanning the area as he approached an underground hideout known to be a gathering place for rogue Meta Humans.
Dabao: (muttering) If there's any lead on G Corporation's next move, I'll find it here.
Pushing open the metal door, he stepped inside. The room was filled with low murmurs, cigarette smoke curling in the air. Several Meta Humans sat around, some sharpening weapons, others discussing underground deals. They paused as Dabao entered, their gazes wary.
A burly man with glowing red eyes and cybernetic arms leaned against the bar, smirking.
Meta Human Leader: (grinning) Well, well… If it isn't Raven. What brings you to Beijing, legend?
Dabao remained unfazed, stepping forward with quiet confidence.
Dabao: I need information.
The leader chuckled, swirling a drink in his hand.
Meta Human Leader: Information always comes at a price, my friend. What do you have to offer?
Dabao reached into his coat and pulled out a small data chip, placing it on the table.
Dabao: Coordinates to an abandoned G Corporation supply base. Weapons, tech, all untouched.
The Meta Humans exchanged intrigued glances.
Meta Human Leader: (raising an eyebrow) Tempting… But why would you just hand that over?
Dabao leaned forward, his voice dangerously low.
Dabao: Because I need to know what G Corporation is planning next. And I know you've got ears in the right places.
The leader studied him for a moment before sighing.
Meta Human Leader: Fine. Word on the street is that G Corporation is shifting its operations to Beijing. They're experimenting on a new type of serum—something stronger, more… unstable.
Dabao's eyes narrowed.
Dabao: Where?
The leader hesitated before sliding a slip of paper across the table.
Meta Human Leader: An underground lab beneath the old steel factory in Chaoyang District. But be careful, Raven. This isn't just any lab. They've got something dangerous down there.
Dabao took the paper, standing up.
Dabao: Dangerous is what I do best.
Without another word, he turned and walked out into the night, his mind already planning his next move. If G Corporation was truly escalating their experiments, Beijing was about to become a battlefield.
The abandoned steel factory in Chaoyang District loomed in the night, its rusted metal beams creaking in the wind. Dabao stood outside, his fists clenched as he took a deep breath. He had infiltrated countless enemy strongholds before, but this time, something felt different. The air was heavy with something unnatural.
**Dabao**: (muttering) *Whatever's inside… it's waiting for me.*
He slipped inside through a broken window, landing silently on the concrete floor. The facility was dimly lit by flickering fluorescent lights, and the distant hum of machinery filled the silence. Moving quickly, he navigated through the corridors, following the faint sound of voices.
As he turned a corner, a deep growl echoed through the space. Dabao froze.
Then—BOOM!
A massive figure crashed through the metal wall, sending debris flying. Dabao leaped backward, landing in a defensive stance as the dust settled. Emerging from the wreckage was a monstrous Titan-like creature—its body covered in hardened black scales, glowing veins pulsing with unstable energy. Its eyes burned red with rage.
**G Corp Titan**: (snarling) *They told me someone would come… but I didn't expect it to be Raven.*
Dabao's eyes narrowed.
**Dabao**: *What the hell did they do to you?*
The creature roared and lunged, its massive clawed hand swiping at Dabao. He barely dodged, rolling to the side as the impact shattered the floor beneath him.
**Dabao**: *Alright then, let's do this the hard way.*
Charging forward, he delivered a lightning-fast punch infused with bioelectric energy, striking the Titan's ribs. Sparks crackled on impact, but the creature barely flinched before retaliating with a brutal kick that sent Dabao crashing into a steel beam.
The metal groaned as Dabao wiped blood from his lip, a smirk forming.
**Dabao**: *That all you got?*
The Titan roared and lunged again, but this time, Dabao was ready. He ducked under its swing and countered with a devastating uppercut to its jaw, sending a pulse of electricity through its skull. The creature staggered, but instead of falling, it grinned.
**G Corp Titan**: *You don't get it, do you? I'm not just any Titan.*
With a sudden burst of speed, it grabbed Dabao by the throat and slammed him into the ground. The impact cracked the concrete, and Dabao gasped as the air was knocked from his lungs. The Titan lifted him again, hurling him across the room like a ragdoll.
Dabao skidded to a stop, coughing up blood.
**Dabao**: (panting) *Okay… That actually hurt.*
The Titan cracked its neck, approaching slowly.
**G Corp Titan**: *This serum… it's made me unstoppable. No Meta Human, no Titan, no one can—*
Before it could finish, Dabao suddenly vanished.
**G Corp Titan**: (blinking) *What?*
From above, Dabao descended like lightning, his fists crackling with pure bioelectricity.
**Dabao**: (shouting) *Let's see how unstoppable you really are!*
He struck the Titan with a devastating punch to the chest, sending a surge of energy through its body. The creature convulsed violently, its muscles locking up as Dabao unleashed a flurry of brutal strikes—each one fueled by sheer force and speed.
The Titan stumbled, roaring in agony, but Dabao didn't stop. He grabbed its arm, twisted it, and with a sickening crack, broke it clean at the joint. The Titan howled in pain.
**Dabao**: (breathing heavily) *You're strong, but you're not invincible.*
Summoning every ounce of his strength, Dabao charged his final attack. His entire body lit up with energy as he clenched his fist.
**Dabao**: (grinning) *Game over.*
With one final, earth-shattering punch, he drove his fist straight through the Titan's chest. The force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling through the facility, windows shattering and metal beams groaning under the pressure.
The Titan gasped, eyes wide with shock.
**G Corp Titan**: (weakly) *Impossible…*
Dabao yanked his fist back, letting the creature fall to the ground with a heavy thud. The room was silent except for the crackling of electricity still sparking from Dabao's fists.
**Dabao**: (exhaling) *And that's how you put a monster down.*
He stepped back, surveying the destruction around him. He had won—but this was just one battle. If G Corporation was making creatures like this, the real war was still ahead.
