After gaining enhanced strength and senses from the Super-Soldier Serum, Chu Hang urged Steve and the Howling Commandos to head for the Hydra factory to save Gabe and their captured comrades. The team set out, and Chu Hang proved his new abilities by detecting a Hydra patrol before it reached them.

• Steve forced open the drainage grate and entered the sewer, followed by Chu Hang and Logan.

Chu Hang, Steve, and Logan made their way through a sewer beneath the factory and avoided a swarm of giant rats. They emerged into an underground maintenance corridor near the electrical room, where Chu Hang heard patrol soldiers approaching and the three hid behind clutter.

• Steve swiftly defeated the remaining guards and used the control console to weaken the room’s electrical hum and take control of the factory’s defenses.
• Steve contacted Dugan to signal that the lights were off, but Chu Hang heard a heavy, rhythmic heartbeat beneath the floor.

Chu Hang, Steve, and Logan discovered a powerful heartbeat and the smell of old blood beneath Hydra’s Austrian factory. Steve and Chu Hang descended to investigate, and Steve saw something behind a massive metal door that left him horrified.

• Steve and Chu Hang followed the heartbeat through a cold, metal-lined corridor to a massive circular door.
• Steve looked through the door’s observation window, recoiled in fear, and called what he saw a monster.

Chu Hang and Steve Rogers discovered a monstrous Hydra experiment in a hidden laboratory as a countdown and emergency alarm triggered chaos. The monster broke free, and they fled toward the electrical room to alert Logan and execute Plan B, with the creature close behind.

• Chu Hang looked through the laboratory door and saw a gigantic, mutilated creature suspended in a green-lit tank beside a countdown under three minutes.

• Steve Rogers grabbed Chu Hang and ran toward the electrical room, ordering him to notify Logan and execute Plan B.
• The creature's tank shattered, and Chu Hang heard its exposed heart beating as he shouted that it was behind them.

Chu Hang, Steve, and Logan fled a Hydra monster through the factory and detonated the transformers to escape. They made it outside as a chain explosion began destroying the factory.

• Steve led Chu Hang toward the ladder while the monster pursued them, then stayed behind to hold it off and ordered Chu Hang to tell Logan to execute Plan B.

• A chain explosion began tearing through the Hydra Factory as the three men staggered outside.

After surviving the factory’s destruction, Chu Hang, Steve, and Logan headed for Extraction Point Three to reunite with Dugan and the rescued prisoners. Just as they set out, Chu Hang heard the monster’s heartbeat beneath the ruins and realized it had survived the explosion.

• Dugan radioed that he had rescued everyone and was heading to the rendezvous point.
• As the group resumed its march, Chu Hang heard the monster’s heartbeat and told Steve and Logan it was still alive.

Chu Hang, Steve, and Logan fled as the creature they had buried in the ruins emerged larger and more powerful than before. Chu Hang identified a possible energy core on its back, but as they climbed a ridge to escape, the monster began smashing the mountain apart and a huge boulder fell toward Steve.

• Chu Hang sensed the creature's heartbeat, and Steve ordered the team to flee while Logan wanted to fight.

• Steve used his Vibranium Shield and strap to help the team climb the ridge, but the creature punched the mountain twice.
• A truck-sized boulder broke loose above Steve and came crashing down toward him.

Chu Hang, Steve, and Logan escaped the falling boulder and climbed beyond the monster’s reach, but the creature revealed a devastating energy beam that nearly erased the mountaintop. The three survived by scattering, leaving Chu Hang wondering how they could possibly fight it.

• Steve spotted a rock that could divert the boulder and ordered Logan to break it, saving Steve from a direct hit.

• Steve, Logan, and Chu Hang scattered just before the monster fired a dark-red beam that melted away a huge section of the mountaintop.
• Chu Hang stared at the smooth, smoking gap and wondered how they could fight the monster.

• Steve Rogers ordered Chu Hang and Logan to move as the mechanical spiders flooded into the corridor, and the three sprinted toward Cell Block B.

Chu Hang, Steve Rogers, and Logan broke into a prison chamber overrun by Mechanical Spiders and found captured soldiers being slaughtered. As Steve held back the spiders at the entrance and Logan attacked the left side, Chu Hang tried to save a soldier trapped behind a cell door.

• Steve Rogers smashed through the reinforced door, revealing a chamber swarming with Mechanical Spiders and imprisoned soldiers.

• Steve used his Vibranium Shield to hold back spiders at the doorway, while Logan attacked the spiders by the cells on the left.
• Chu Hang reached a cell where a terrified soldier was trapped and strained to wrench open its damaged door.

Chu Hang tore a cell door from the wall and used it to fight back the Mechanical Spider swarm, rallying the trapped soldiers to defend the cell block. He spotted a larger, dark-gold spider directing the swarm and prepared to take it out.

• Chu Hang ripped a steel cell door from the wall and smashed a Mechanical Spider with it.
• Chu Hang used the door as a shield and weapon, clearing space against the advancing spider swarm.
• Chu Hang rallied the frightened soldiers, who armed themselves with improvised weapons and joined the defense.
