I'm a spy in the film

Chapter 257: Mine Spider

Originally, Bourne planned to set off the next day to begin his baptism journey, but in order to take care of the girl's body, he had to stay in the town of Boho for another day.

It was not until noon on the third day, after lunch, that I took Ashley on the journey to send people home.

As expected of the young version of Black Widow, she recovered quickly. Apart from feeling a little tired and her voice still slightly hoarse, there was no sign that she was unable to get out of bed yesterday.

Although Texas is vast and sparsely populated, the roads are well built. It only took Bourne more than two hours to reach the entrance of the highway leading to Rongjing Town.

The roads here are difficult to travel on. Ashley explained that Rongjing Town started out as a copper mine and was once prosperous, but as the mines were exhausted, the town declined.

The current mayor is called Wade, and he opened a large supermarket in the center of the town.

This guy has been persuading the townspeople to sell their land and move away because a company has taken a fancy to the land and wants to build a highway here.

"Pah, who would believe that! There are mountains to the west and north of our town. Where will the highway lead to? Will it lead to the top of the mountain?"

Ashley said angrily, "Brett told me that his father is actually connected to a pharmaceutical company and wants to bury the company's toxic waste in the mine and drive away the townspeople because he's afraid that the Environmental Protection Department will find out!"

What she didn't know was that her ex-boyfriend Brett didn't tell her that his father Wade had been doing this for some time, burying the waste in the supermarket, where there was a passage leading to the mine.

These wastes were sent into the town in the name of transporting supermarket goods, and Wade's purpose of opening a supermarket was to cover up this fact.

However, Ashley did not elaborate on the issue for fear that Bourne would ask the embarrassing question of who Brett was.

On their way into town, they met Terra, who was walking.

When the brother and sister met again, they naturally had a lot to talk about, but after seeing the thing in Terra's hand, Bourne finally realized something was wrong.

He remembered which movie this was.

This film is about an old man in a town who likes to raise spiders. He feeds the spiders with contaminated insects, causing the spiders to mutate and grow to giant sizes and invade the town.

I haven't seen the original film, but I saw an introduction on TikTok, and I watched it on fast forward just to see the scene where Black Widow comes out of the bath.

Bourne vaguely remembered that there was a mine in the film that was connected to a supermarket in the town center. Many townspeople who took refuge in the supermarket were killed there.

I hope my guess is wrong.

Since he didn't have a clear impression and only remembered that spiders were mainly distributed in mines, Bourne planned to go to the mines first to take a look at the situation and then decide whether to call for help.

However, after he reached the path leading to the mine, he asked Ashley to take her brother back to town and wait for his call. They should not go out unless necessary.

Because he remembered a scene in the movie where a dense army of spiders was chasing pedestrians running on the street late at night.

It is still safer at home. As long as you prepare torches, insecticides and the like, it should generally not be a problem to hold out until dawn.

After entering the mine, I didn't walk far before I was stopped by a middle-aged man with a hard hat and an untidy beard.

The middle-aged man asked Bourne to put on a helmet as well and asked him the purpose of his visit.

Bourne showed him his ID and said that he suspected there were mutated spiders in the mine and wanted to investigate.

The middle-aged man then introduced himself and said that his name was Chris, he was a mining engineer and the owner of the mine.

A few years ago, his father disappeared while exploring for new veins in the mine. Now, due to tax issues, the mine is at risk of being reclaimed, so he decided to open the mine again and find the new vein that his father mentioned before his death.

The two men were chatting happily until they found the body of a miner on a side road in the mine.

"Oh, shit, it's Laurie!"

"Wait, something is wrong."

Chris was about to go forward to check, but was stopped by Bourne.

Because he found that the miner's physical condition was very abnormal. His eyes were wide open, but his eyeballs were covered with white film. His mouth was slightly open, and there were many shiny filaments on his lips.

In addition, the deceased's chest and abdomen were bulging, as if there was something in his stomach.

Bourne picked up a fist-sized stone and gently threw it at the body of the miner named Lowry.

As if something in Laurie's stomach was disturbed, a very foul-smelling gas came out of his mouth, and at the same time, his stomach deflated.

Before the two of them could cover their mouths and noses, countless small spiders were sprayed out of Lowry's mouth along the air flow, forming a small spider fountain.

These small spiders were the size of a fingernail and were all white in color. After falling from the sky, they immediately scattered and quickly crawled away in all directions of the mine and soon disappeared.

After a long while, Chris asked Bourne in shock: "Is this the spider you are looking for?"

Bourne shook his head and said, "No, I want something much bigger than this. At least it can't get into a person's body, but it can eat a person."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a noise coming from the distant passage. The two men looked down, and the next moment, they turned around and ran back.

"That's the spider I was talking about!" Bourne waved his hand at the huge monster behind him and shouted to Chris who was running in front.

"I can see it!" Chris shouted back angrily, and ran forward without looking back.

Five or six meters behind them, a huge spider with a dark body and legs over two meters long was chasing them closely.

What's even more terrifying is that the noises they made attracted more spiders to chase them, like a train, with spiders following a passage behind the two men.

These spiders come in various shapes and sizes. Some move by jumping, some crawl quickly, and some weave webs on the top of the cave. There are many kinds of spiders.

But they all have one characteristic, that is, they are huge in size. The smallest one is as big as a domestic cat, and the larger ones are as big as a three-wheeled motorcycle.

Chris led Bourne through twists and turns in the mine, constantly blocking the road with wooden boxes piled everywhere in the cave. Finally, after running for ten minutes, they got rid of the spiders.

The two of them finally had a chance to catch their breath.

"Now you should believe what I say!" Bourne took out a bottle of mineral water, gulped down a big gulp, and handed it to Chris.

Chris was still breathing heavily. He took the water without wiping it and drank a big sip. He said with some frustration:

"I borrowed a considerable amount of bank loan to reopen the mine this time. I thought I could find the gold vein that my father mentioned, revive the family's glory, and make the town prosperous again. Now it seems that everything is over!"

Bourne remembered that the protagonist in the movie did find a gold vein, but he discovered it in the tunnel under the supermarket.

Come to think of it, the mine here has been mined for many years. If there was a gold mine, it would have been discovered long ago. The mine next to the supermarket was dug by the mayor in recent years to secretly bury hazardous chemical waste. Even if there was a gold mine, it would not be easy to be discovered.

So there must be a gold mine, but how do I tell Chris?

At this time, Chris continued to speak;

"Bourne, I don't know if the guys chasing us are spiders or something else. I just know that they are a big threat. We must go out immediately to inform the people in the town and seal off this mine."

Bourne deliberately asked him: "The gold vein your father mentioned has not been found yet. You have sealed the mine now. As long as the spider problem is not solved, you will never be able to open the mine again."
