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.

"Captain Han?" Not only were Long Yuehong and Bai Chen surprised, but even Jiang Baimian was rather surprised.

She remembered that she had found many corpses strewn on the ground and blackened spots everywhere when she and Shang Jianyao returned to the defensive line that Han Wanghuo was in charge of.

In such an environment, Han Wanghuo could've died at any moment. Like the other town guards, his luck wouldn't be better just because he was a sheriff.

If he had sold the information regarding Bishop Renato's return to headquarters to the merfolk and mountain monsters, there would've been no need for him to be at the frontlines. He could've found an excuse to move to a relatively less vulnerable spot.

Not only was this akin to tying the noose for himself but also sticking his head inside.
