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.

More than one? Amidst Mei Shou'an's surprise, he suddenly felt countless steel needles under his butt, stinging him so much that he couldn't sit still.

According to Shang Jianyao, he's the only Awakened in the Old Task Force. Furthermore, he only found an opportunity to enter the Mind Corridor during First City's uprising in early August. After that, they recuperated, regulated themselves, and returned. They didn't have any conflict with anyone else. In other words, their team killed a Mind Corridor-level Awakened earlier—before they had a powerhouse of the same level!

If it only happened once, it can be attributed to luck. The DiMarco that Shang Jianyao had described clearly lost his vigilance in many aspects because of his prolonged stay in an underground fortress. It's reasonable for him to be caught off-guard.

However, Mei Shou'an couldn't accept it if more than one was killed by Jiang Baimian's Old Task Force.
