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.

Ceningmis, at the periphery of the main city area.

Genava and the military exoskeleton-wearing Shang Jianyao walked to the suburbs from under a bridge. They didn't return the way they came; the latter also hid his human consciousness the entire time to prevent them from being discovered by the Eighth Research Institute members summoned by the gigantic feline creature.

The rash Shang Jianyao suggested laying an ambush for a counterattack, but the motion was rejected by the other Shang Jianyaos before it entered a vote. This was because they didn't know how many people the Eighth Research Institute had stationed in Ceningmis and what their overall strength was.

Even if Vice President, Professor Li, and the other New World powerhouses weren't carried over and were sleeping here to preside over the area, it was already tough enough for the Old Task Force to deal with two to three Awakened who had explored the Mind Corridor's depths.
