Steel City, a Tier 2 Chinese city once known for its massive steel and iron production, is now abandoned and forgotten. Its blast furnace, which had been dormant for a long time, was re-ignited in early autumn, and a completely new threat loomed over the region. Echo Wang, who has been a taxi driver for ten years, is content with his life. Byron Gong, who is planning a family with the love of his life, and Captain Ma, who is infatuated with ballroom dancing, have returned to the place where their story began by chance. Little do they know that this time, not only do they have to deal with their past but also with monsters that are supposed to exist only in nightmares. Greetings from Beijing, China. I am AVP: Steel City's author, Ran. As an Aliens vs. Predator fan, I would like very much to develop stories that relate to China. When the brilliant Chinese TV drama 'The Long Season' was on air early this year, I saw an opportunity (Meanwhile, I strongly recommend the show, you can find its introduction on IMDb. So, I combined the two stories (or two universes) with a bit of twist and tried to fill in the blanks from both plots. Most importantly, I just want to see my favorite characters continue their journey and fulfill their destiny. However, due to cultural and language differences, I find it hard to translate the humor and bitterness of the original context. C'est la vie. I look forward to your suggestions and questions. Best, Ran
