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.

"Granny, thank you." Shang Jianyao waved his hand and bade the old lady under the tree farewell.

He skillfully switched identities, greeted people of different ages and conditions, and chatted about all kinds of things to figure out what this place was.

He continued chatting until his mouth was dry and he was mentally exhausted. He roughly confirmed that he was in the Fourth Research Institute's residential area.

This research institute was located deep in the uninhabited wastelands. Its main building was underground, similar to Pangu Biology.

After the Old World was destroyed, the few farms and ranches under them remained unaffected. They tenaciously survived until Year 21 of the New Calendar.

Yes, in the room owner's memories, it was Year 21 of the New Calendar.
