Chapter 1337
It was the physical symptom of an extreme chemical overload.
Simply put.
The reason they seemed like indestructible tanks wasn’t due to some flawless evolutionary breakthrough. It was the result of a violently forced chemical cocktail that hyper-inflated their muscle mass and supercharged their circulatory systems.
They were entirely dependent on synthetic stimulants to keep moving.
And anything built on a foundation of chemical volatility became inherently unstable the harder it was pushed.
They looked like apex predators, but beneath the skin, they were nothing more than defective lab rats stuffed with adrenaline.
As long as she kept forcing them into a state of blind frenzy, their tactical processing would degrade, and their pack coordination would shatter.
If that was the case p>
She slowly licked the trace of blood from her lip, her eyes locking onto the five Augments as they prepared to blitz her again. A wicked smile touched the corner of her mouth.
Perfect.
She had the formula.
Since they relied on 404 to dictate their coordinated strikes.
She was just going to break their entire formation.
And butcher them one by one.
Bang!
404 launched itself at her with terrifying speed.
The five monsters erupted into a synchronized, fan-shaped assault.
Serena sidestepped the lethal charge, driving her combat boot viciously into an already half-shattered medical console.
The heavy metal desk flipped end-over-end, slamming onto the floor directly in the path of one of the flanking Augments.
The monster stomped blindly onto the wreckage, its momentum instantly disrupted. In that exact millisecond.
Serena executed a flawless tactical roll, grabbing a broken steel IV pole off the ground and launching it like a javelin in one fluid motion.
Clang!
The metal pole wedged itself violently between two heavy equipment racks on the far side of the room.
Using her momentum, she kicked over trays, leather restraints, and scattered surgical tools, sending them flying in every direction.
In the span of a few heartbeats, she had intentionally turned the already chaotic pod into an impossible obstacle course.
Naturally, some debris wasn’t going to stop the Augments for long.
But it didn’t need to.
She only needed it to break their synchronized rhythm.
She blurred out of the way just as 404’s claws swiped at her face, using the monster’s own forward momentum against it to violently redirect its trajectory.
404 crashed heavily into a slanted equipment rack.
The other Augments, entirely blind to the sudden obstacles she had
created, bottlenecked against each otheDas they scrambled
her.
Their flawless formation disintegrated.

What started as a five-point coordinated kill zone.
Had been reduced to just two monsters reaching the front lines.
The other three were momentarily jammed up behind the chaotic blockade. Now was the time.
Serena’s gaze turned lethally cold, an imperceptible smirk curving her lips.
Once they lost their structure.
They were nothing but meat.
Bereft of logic, their primal hunting cadence violently severed.
Deep, guttural roars tore from their throats.
Their eyes bled into a toxic, luminous crimson.
The veins along their necks and temples began to throb erratically.
The angrier they got, the more desperately they wanted to tear her limb from limb.
Which meant their chemical overdrive was spiraling out of control even faster.
Serena stood perfectly still amidst the chaos, casually dusting off her hands.
Watching the absolute bedlam she had orchestrated, the dark amusement in her eyes flared.
The harder they raged.
The closer they pushed themselves to system failure.
And now, it was time for the main event.
One of the largest Augments missed her with three consecutive, lunging strikes.
The synthetic adrenaline in its bloodstream hit critical mass.
Its chest heaved violently, its eyes so bloodshot they looked ready to burst.
Due to Serena’s kinetic redirection, its massive frame was currently wedged between two mangled steel racks at a grotesquely unnatural angle.
Half of its torso was tangled in heavy leather restraint straps.
One of its arms was completely pinned beneath a snapped surgical brace.
But the most horrifying part was that its head had been twisted a full hundred and eighty degrees,
