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.

Shang Jianyao looked at the residents in the Fourth Research Institute's residential area with stiff and cold expressions that left one apprehensive. He then strode over.

Behind him, thick smoke spewed out, and redness flowed. The entire entrance had become an abnormally active volcanic crater, but it didn't affect any plants or trees in the residential area.

The two seemed to be in different worlds.

Shang Jianyao's first target was the white-haired old lady sitting under the tree, who he had previously chatted with.

Just as he approached and before he could speak, the old lady stood up with a cold and slightly abhorrent expression and took two steps back.

A puncture wound suddenly appeared on Shang Jianyao's chest!
