Before they knew it, Qiao Yuan and the other man had been driving on this road for several hours.

A strange scene happened.

The car's fuel gauge didn't show any wear!

Haven't reached your destination yet?

Just as Qiao Yuan was wondering if something went wrong, the voice of the car navigation system rang out.

"We have arrived near our destination..."

…

"arrive?"

Qiao Yuan looked out the window and discovered that a wall made of wooden fences had appeared on the side of the road since he didn't know when, and it was covered with black plants and vines.

There were dozens of cars parked at the door, crookedly and randomly. Upon closer inspection, there were actually many luxury cars worth millions.

However, most of the vehicles were covered in rust, and dead-colored plants were crawling all over the body.

The abandoned luxury cars, the death-colored plants, and the abrupt fence... all of these combined together can be said to be quite eerie.

His gaze pierced through the flying yellow sand.

The sign at the door was crookedly engraved with "No. 444 Qingming Road."

Arrived at the destination!

At this moment, the hands on Zhou Qi's face completely loosened, and the female corpse got out of the car stiffly and walked towards the courtyard.

It soon disappeared in the wind and sand.

Seeing this, Qiao Yuan followed, and Zhou Qi followed closely behind.

After being reborn, he knew that he had encountered a special event. If he wanted to survive, he had to follow Qiao Yuan's footsteps.

…

When Qiao Yuan came to this signboard that had been eroded by time, he suddenly stopped.

It seemed like there was something under my feet.

I lowered my head and lifted the weeds to see a broken sign.

But I can vaguely make out three words.

【laboratory】

Qiao Yuan: “…”

What the hell!

Is this the laboratory site?

“…”

With doubts in his heart, Qiao Yuan crossed the road covered with dry weeds, and the two of them came inside against the wind and sand.

Unlike the death highway outside, there is actually a small pond here!

And there are quite a few people inside.

Living people!

There is an open space around the pond. At this moment, there are more than a dozen people standing and sitting in different places, holding fishing rods in their hands.

Some people were dressed in suits and looked anxious.

Some people look extraordinary in casual clothes.

Some people were dressed in unkempt clothes and had untidy beards, looking quite decadent.

Some people have crippled legs but still put on bait and cast their rods.

“…”

All kinds of ordinary people gathered here, young and old.

There are even some awakened ones among them!

Without exception, their eyes were fixed on the pond, as if they were waiting for something...

“…”

The female corpse disappeared in the blink of an eye, and no one knew where it went.

Just as Qiao Yuan was observing the place and thinking about the purpose of this mission, a figure on the shore walked towards Qiao Yuan and the others.

The man's cheeks were thin, his expression was haggard, his eyes were sunken and bloodshot, and he looked like a walking corpse.

"Just came in?"

Qiao Yuan did not answer.

This action caused the thin man to let out a hoarse chuckle.

"I can tell you came in by accident, so don't be nervous."

Qiao Yuan said calmly, "Where is this place?"

"I'm the oldest angler here. There's no name here. Like you, we all ended up here by chance because of a special event."

"We call this fish pond the 'Living Pond'."

“…”

Just as the sick man was explaining, the anglers in the distant fish pond finally seemed to notice the newcomer at the door and all cast their eyes over.

But there was something profound in that look, a mixture of helplessness, sadness, and a hint of pity.

…

This is a special place that does not exist in the real world.

There is a strange fish pond here, from which you can catch anything.

Not limited to physical entities!

Some people have fished out a fortune of gold, others have fished out wives and concubines, and still others have fished out longevity and health...

Who doesn’t have regrets in life!

After tasting the sweetness, these people began to fish continuously, trying to catch what they had always dreamed of.

"Look at the guy in Pit No. 2. He's been here three times. In the outside world, he's a billionaire, but an accident caused him to lose his son. His purpose in coming here is to fish his son out."

Qiao Yuan looked at the pious-looking man in a suit, holding a fishing rod in his right hand, Buddhist beads in his left hand, and a cross on his chest, chanting scriptures while waiting.

The surface of the fish pond was calm.

"Can you still catch a living person?"

The sick man smiled and nodded.

"That's the magic of the fish pond. You can catch anything in the world!"

"The old man at position ten fished out an opportunity here. When he returned here for the second time, he had become a sixth-level awakener. Do you know what an awakener is?"

“…”

Qiao Yuan was quite surprised.

The old man fishing at position ten is indeed a sixth-level awakener.

If what this sick man said is true, then this fish pond is amazing.

It's also very strange!

As the saying goes, clear water is shallow, green water is deep, and black water is abyssal!

And the fish pond in the distance was black!

At the same time, even his own mental power could not see through it.

This mission brings me to such a place to find the so-called strange things. What are they?

“…”

…

Zhou Qi standing by suddenly became excited.

Qiao Yuan and those people from the Security Bureau said that his wife unfortunately died in the rainstorm last night.

He originally thought that everything was beyond redemption, but this fish pond brought him hope.

"How to fish?" Zhou Qi asked quickly, sincerity in his eyes.

The sick man looked at Zhou Qi with a smile on his face.

Just at this moment, an excited voice came from a pit in the distance.

"I caught it... I finally caught it!"

"I can live another month!"

“…”

A white-haired old man cried with joy. He looked to be in his seventies. His originally pale face became rosy and his eyes revealed a strong desire.

Many people nearby cast envious glances at him.

A silvery-white fish, only the size of a finger, was held in the other person's arms.

Finally, he swallowed it in front of everyone.

In an instant, Qiao Yuan could sense that the life force in the other person's body had increased slightly.
