The equipment and personnel of the research team were detained, and the fbi prohibited them from conducting research on spiders without permission.The old professors were very angry. They were leaders in their fields and possessed a certain social status. They were not like the so-called FBI at all.
However, when Hooked Nose proposed that the government's research team could freely study giant spiders, the old professors readily agreed and couldn't wait to bring their students.
Russell, Chris, and Gladys moved out of their home. Their home belongs to the hardest hit area, and the possibility of being attacked by spiders again is very high.
Aunt Gladys took Fadou to the big city to take refuge. Many small town residents chose to leave, but Russell did not leave because of the mission, and Chris chose to stay because of his sweetheart who insisted on staying in the small town.
The two elders grandly stayed at Parker's house, and because there were not enough rooms, they could only be wronged to sleep on the sofa.
Russell entered Ashley's room that night on the grounds that he was allergic to the sofa, and then... he lived three times a day, sometimes five times a day.
Samantha didn't stop the two, and she herself did the same, but the number of times was incomparable, and it was decreasing every day.Chris is no longer young. The bullet production line is a product of 30 years ago. It is difficult to shoot as much as Russell.
Russell's expected result has been achieved. With the FBI helping him investigate the truth, he can live a happy life with peace of mind. Recently, his photography skills have become more and more sophisticated, and there is a tendency to become a permanent skill.
Ashley was very reluctant at first and couldn't let go of the camera. However, she is a star material after all, and she quickly passed the adaptation period. The camera sense is getting better and better, and she dares to pose in any pose when she is crazy.
Russell didn't take pictures all the time, he occasionally cared about the situation of the spiders, but since that night when they were ravaged by steel and gunpowder, the spiders disappeared.
The fbi went down to the mine every day and found nothing, which was very strange. They saw the spiders fleeing into the mine with their own eyes and blocked all the entrances and exits, but the reality was completely opposite to what they saw.
……
On this day, two FBI agents came to Parker's house, and Captain Hooked Nose indicated that he wanted to see Chris and Russell.The reason is simple, the mine belongs to McCormack Mining, and the two have the inheritance rights. Captain Hooked Nose thinks that the two of them will know something hidden.
"Sorry, if it's about the mine, I suggest you ask Leon. He has worked in the mine for 20 years and is a living map." Chris shrugged and said he was helpless. He left Prosperity Town for ten years, and after returning I encountered a spider invasion, and the only time I went down to the mine was to look for a lost researcher.
Well, with Samantha.
Hooked Nose stood in front of the distribution map of the mine, pointing to several marked red dots, "We asked Leon, and he was the guide every time we went down the mine, but we still found nothing."
The fbi's search for spiders is not to clean them up and restore the peace of the town, but to find out the reason for the mutation and tap all the value of use, such as for biological and chemical weapons.
Russell frowned, and asked in a timely manner, "Have you checked the chemical raw materials that pollute the water source?"
The hooked nose gave Russell a meaningful look, and said generously, "I have checked, and there is no problem, except that they are involved in the smuggling of prohibited items, they meet all the standards."
The expected answer, Russell casually said, "Perhaps an unknown chemical reaction occurred, and it came into contact with some kind of gas in the mine, which turned into a spider growth hormone."
Hooked Nose categorically denied, "Impossible, they are very stable, at least in the dark mine."
This is a no-nonsense man!
Russell labeled the hooked nose boring, he is not good at dealing with this kind of people, he is well-behaved and has no sense of humor "Nothing is impossible, even Pete's baldness is cured..."
"We have taken scalp samples and his hair growth is normal."
Russell "..."
alright, you win!
Hooked Nose "You two have the legal inheritance rights of the mine, but sometimes being legal doesn't mean there are no loopholes..."
"What do you mean?" Chris looked upset, and it sounded like he was threatening him.
"Someone wants to buy this land. I think you can understand that after the giant spider appeared, the value behind the mine has exceeded its own value, even if it can dig out gold." Hooked Nose took out a contract , generously expressed that he wanted to buy land, and he was not short of money.
Chris took over the contract. For an abandoned mine, Hooked Nose's bid was very reasonable. As for who the buyer was, he wisely chose to ignore it.
Russell glanced at the quotation below the contract and frowned, "We can't accept this price, it can indeed dig out gold!"
The price has nothing to do with Russell, he will leave after the mission is over, and he can't take any more money with him.The bargaining is for Chris. If Chris is rich, it means Samantha is rich. Samantha's money is good for Ashley's stardom. He is very optimistic about the big-breasted girl's Hollywood career.
"The mentality of a gambler, that's what all mining people say!" Hooked nose remained unchanged, "I understand what you are worried about. This mine is related to the livelihood of the residents of the entire town, and it will not be transferred easily. But the fact is that In fact, there is no gold here, there is nothing, the source has been hollowed out."
"No, it's a gold mine, I'm pretty sure." Russell remembers the film's end, with the black announcer grinning, showing his shiny gold teeth.
The picture is very strong, Russell is sure that he will not remember it wrongly, and he made up casually, "My adoptive father discovered the source of gold mines before he died, but he died before mining. Leon also said that he discovered gold mines... Although he was Too much carbon monoxide is absorbed."
The eyes of the hooked nose flickered, and suddenly remembered something, and a piercing smile appeared on the stiff face, "I remember your name is Russell, and your name is in my file. You are very special, really special."
"What?"
The hooked nose stared at Russell, "How should I put it... The spider carcasses you sold are amazing."
Chris didn't know, so Russell heard the subtext of the hooked nose, and immediately became alert. The spider's body exposed many unexplainable problems, and it also attracted the attention of the FBI.
"Don't be nervous, there are many special people in this world, not just you." The hooked nose signaled that he was not hostile, and threw an olive branch along the way, "How about it, do you want to consider joining us and become a part of the special people."
Russell "..."
Too much information, let me take it easy!
Chapter 59 Any creature that threatens humans is a pest
Captain Hooked Nose's words made Russell think again and again, maybe this world is not just eight-legged monsters, but also contains other things.
Russell thinks so because in the previous world, in addition to the plot of the League of Assassins, Smith was also messed up.
The League of Assassins is a line, and Smith is another line. There is no conflict or interest relationship between the two, but there is an implicit connection.The cross and the unlucky councilor serve as the hub, seamlessly connecting the two plots, just like the npc that dispatches the task, and the branch can be opened by contact.
Although the world quests only exist in the main line, everyone living here has flesh and blood, not cold data, and there is no such thing as an npc, but the hooked nose is like a cross at this moment, acting as an npc. In the plot of the eight-legged monster, Extended a new branch plot for Russell.
Reminiscing the words of the hooked nose, Russell realized that he had begun to come into contact with the truth of this world, not only the giant spiders, but also the supernatural hidden in this world. Such power.
"System, is the world you cross every time so chaotic?"
Russell had some headaches, the style of the world painting deviated, the difficulty of completing the task was greatly increased, and the plot of the original book lost its reference.
Host……
"Speak human!" Russell said silently in his heart, directly interrupting the cold electronic voice.
"Father, I don't know too well!" The loli voice, who seemed malicious and cute, but actually gloated, made the system itch again.
"You have experienced so many hosts, don't you know?"
"You misunderstood. Although I have assisted many hosts, the database was established after I had self-awareness. There are countless worlds that can be traversed, and the worlds that have been recorded in the database are all in comparison. But one grain of Hengsha is insignificant and pitiful. Therefore, there is not enough information to accurately answer your question."
The system replied solemnly, not sure if it was true or not, and finally added cheaply, "Unce Luo Daddy, although I have assisted many hosts, I am an experienced system, but I don't have much time for self-awareness. At this age, he is still a child!"
Russell "..."
How many meanings, implying that I don't want to beat you?
Russell's conversation with the system, in the eyes of the hooked nose, is an expression of contemplation, and the silence is because of thinking. If he puts more effort, the fish should bite the bait.
"There's a sense of confusion about your own power, not knowing how to define yourself, and I know that feeling, a lot of us do."
