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.

Long Yuehong didn't know how he should criticize Shang Jianyao's answer. He could only say in disbelief, "Don't you find your description terrifying?"

"So what? He's still human." Shang Jianyao began to give an example. "Would you find a person terrifying just because they have no nose, ears, or eyelids?"

Long Yuehong imagined it and nodded heavily. "Yes."

Shang Jianyao seemed to have just realized that there was a certain generation gap between him and his good friend. He could only change the example. "Would you find him terrifying just because he's 1.75 meters tall, has average looks, and average grades?"

Long Yuehong didn't know if Shang Jianyao was seriously giving an example or if he was just beginning his daily teasing. He said in exasperation and amusement, "How can it be the same?"

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian stopped their 'debate' and yawned. "It's late; continue sleeping."
