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.

After the Old Task Force left the heavily fortified borders of Gesterbourg, the weeds ahead gradually thinned. Looking into the distance, they could vaguely see a wasteland and hills.

"How many kilometers has it been?" Shang Jianyao—who was sitting in the backseat—asked Genava, the automatic odometer.

"We're almost two kilometers away from Gesterbourg." Genava chose to use more fuzzy data like a human.

Shang Jianyao was disappointed. "It's less than three kilometers."

He looked at the driving Bai Chen and opened his mouth to speak before closing it again.

"You want Little White to drive faster?" Jiang Baimian glanced at him.

"That's right, that's right." Shang Jianyao quickly nodded.

"Do you want to reach three kilometers as soon as possible and get Gitis's body to return?" Jiang Baimian asked again.
