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.

Jiang Baimian picked up the phone and made terse grunts before looking at Shang Jianyao with a strange expression. "The C-14 project team wants you to go over for another test."

After informing him, she said in a teasing tone, "You sure are busy!"

Shang Jianyao looked at the wall clock in the room and reluctantly said, "It's almost time for lunch, so I'll go in the afternoon. It's not like they provide meals!"

He was very resentful about this. He had previously wanted to try the research institute's canteen.

"Whoa, that's a show of ill-discipline." Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes at him, picked up the receiver, and dialed back. She restrained the smile on her face and said in a very formal tone, "We have a routine meeting internally; it's very important. Shang Jianyao will be at your place after 2 p.m."

The C-14 project team didn't seem to have any objections.

Jiang Baimian quickly hung up and smiled at Shang Jianyao. "Done!"
