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.

Weed City, in a rented apartment on South Street.

Shang Jianyao and the others met up with Genava.

As Jiang Baimian walked to the window, she casually asked, "How's the situation recently?"

As a cold intelligence collector, Genava replied in a slightly synthetic voice, "Due to the news that war will break out between First City and the Salvation Army within the year, the price of food has increased significantly.

"Weed City is located at the westernmost end of First City's sphere of influence; it's the furthest from the Salvation Army, so the level of panic here isn't that strong. It still maintains a relatively normal and stable state. This has attracted more Ruin Hunters, making Weed City more prosperous than before.

"The nobles here control the land in the form of manors and stockpile a large amount of food…"

Upon hearing Genava's clear report, Jiang Baimian cast her gaze out the window.
