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.

On the way to Antanna Street, Jiang Baimian and the others saw many temporary checkpoints.

Fortunately, they had the smart bot, Genava—who discovered the checkpoints far in advance. This allowed the jeep to take a longer detour to not incur any suspicion.

On the other hand, these checkpoints' targets were mainly cars and pedestrians coming from Antanna Street. They weren't that strict toward cars heading to Antanna Street.

Therefore, the Old Task Force's jeep arrived at Antanna Street relatively smoothly. They also planned a safe route back.

"Stop by the side of the road." Jiang Baimian looked out the car window and gave instructions to the driving Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao didn't question her. As he parked the jeep by the street, he smiled and asked, "Is it time to 'make friends?'"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and habitually asked, "Do you know what we need your 'friend' to do later?"
