Cuttlefish That Loves Diving

In this latest work by Lord of the Mysteries author, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, be prepared for a well-thought out and detailed apocalyptic, cyberpunk world with a setting superseding Lord of the Mysteries!
Our protagonist, Shang Jianyao, is crazy—literally crazy, at least that's what the doctors said. Living in a huge, underground building of Pangu Biology, one of the few remaining factions in this apocalyptic wasteland known as the Ashlands, he acts in unfathomable ways that's head-scratching, comical, and shrewd. So is he really crazy? Probably.
He has a grand dream: to save all of humanity.
Intricately tied to this dream is something everyone in the Ashlands believes in: Deep in a particular ruin buried away by danger and famine, a path leading to a new world awaits. To step into the new world, one only needs to find a special key and open that certain door.
There, the land is bountiful, as if milk and honey flows freely. 
The sunlight is dazzling, as if all coldness and darkness are washed away. 
The people will no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infections, mutations, and all kinds of dangers.
There, children are joyous, adults are happy, everything is fine as they are supposed to be.
Every Antiquarian, Ruin Hunter, and Historian roaming the Ashlands knows: That's the New World.

Jiang Baimian subconsciously wanted to ask who Old Bat was, but she rationally shut her mouth after opening it.

In fact, Shang Jianyao had planned on asking the same question. However, his logical inference told him that this would definitely damage their 'brotherhood' and leave the other party confused. Since they were brothers, how could he not know who Old Bat was?

He laughed. "Ah… Old Bat… Why is he in such a rush?"

"What can he do? Isn't it all because someone is rushing him!?" The man holding the watermelon knife and the black pistol rubbed his greasy hair and said with a frown, "Those guys kill people on a dime. Who dares to be cursory with them…"
