Brock changes into Venom and engages the Diggers where they discover a city underneath the tunnels during the fight. Venom dismantles the Diggers after one kills a resident that was trying to protect his city. Several Diggers confront Venom and Spider-Man when they infiltrate a construction site where Treece has some of his men plant explosives directed into the earth to destroy the underground city. Spider-Man holds off the Diggers while Venom stops Roland Treece from setting off the explosives.
