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.

When they arrived at Ah Fu's Gun Shop's back door, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao saw An Ruxiang waiting there.

In a room on the second floor, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong—who had also been woken up—monitored their surroundings through the window to prevent any accidents from happening.

Under the moonlight at night, An Ruxiang held the lower-left half of her bandaged abdomen. There were obvious traces of blood on her hands and clothes.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Baimian asked in concern.

"It's fine." An Ruxiang was rather calm. It was obvious that her injuries weren't too serious.

Jiang Baimian heaved a sigh of relief. "Let's talk upstairs."

They had a first-aid kit in their room, which could handle the wound better and prevent any subsequent infections.

After she was done, Jiang Baimian said to Gu Changle, "Go back. Don't worry about anything that happens later. If you get involved, it will bring you unnecessary trouble."
