Chapter 288: It's Good to Be Alive

Before the end of the world, Xu Xiaoyao would basically come to Italy with her parents every winter and summer vacation to visit her grandparents and uncle's family.

So she can say that she is familiar with the city of Milan, a metropolis in the north of the Apennine Peninsula, located on the Lombardy plain, the most densely populated and most extensive in Italy, and is the second largest city in the country after Rome.

In terms of economic level, it can even be said that the most advanced city in Italy is equivalent to Shanghai, China.

The city has so much to offer that it is one of the four major economic centers in Europe, alongside Paris, London, and Berlin. In Central and Southern Europe, Milan ranks first in terms of industrial activity. In finance, its role is greater than that of Munich and Zurich. There are more than 143,000 companies and entities engaged in production, trade and services in the Milan area.

It is also a world-famous fashion capital, with the fashion shops on Via Montenapoleone being world-famous, and the Galleria Emanuele II considered the oldest shopping mall in the world. Milan is the 12th most expensive city in the world to live in.

It is an international transport hub with four airports, including three major international airports, of which Malpensa is one of the most important in Europe, and the other two are Milan Lynette International Airport and Milan Bergamo International Airport. Milan has more than 1oo railway stations, and there are 24 passenger railway stations in the city alone, of which Milan Central Station is the largest railway station in Europe and Italy, and one of the largest railway hubs in Europe. The average daily passenger flow is 420,000 people, and the annual passenger flow is 200 million people.

It is a veritable financial center, concentrating 9o% of the country's financial transactions. Milan is home to the Milan Stock Exchange, one of Europe's most famous stock exchanges, the Commecia d'Italia, the CrΓ©dit Italia and the Lombardy Savings Bank. Besides. In addition, 13o banks of various types, 9oo bank branches, and 46 branches of foreign banks operate here.

It is also recognized as one of the four fashion capitals in the world and is the most influential of the four fashion capitals. Dominate the four major fashion weeks. Milan is home to many of the world's most famous fashion brands, Armani. Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Gucci, Moschino, etc. Milan Fashion Week is one of the most important fashion weeks in the world and is known as the world's fashion barometer. Rue Monti Napoleon is one of the most famous luxury avenues in the world.

At the same time, it also has a lot of titles such as the City of Art, the World Historical and Cultural City, the World Convention and Exhibition Center, and the City of Football......

Speaking of the title of "Football City", Xu Xiaoyao really understands this, she is a sports idiot. She wasn't interested in the sport at all, but one year her uncle took her and her cousin to see a Milan derby.

Although she couldn't understand it at all, the atmosphere at the scene completely infected her, and the scene of tens of thousands of people shouting together made her still remember it vividly.

Speaking of which, there was also a bad thing, when she watched most of the game, only to realize that she supported the wrong team, her uncle and cousin are both Inter Milan fans, but she has been cheering for another team in the same city......

But she didn't think she could be blamed for that. Who knew that Inter Milan was obviously wearing the away team's jersey at her own stadium at the time, and although the red and black jersey worn opposite was different in color, at least it was striped, so it was normal for her to misunderstand......

And there was a player in the front court who was wearing red and black at that time who was very handsome. Run very fast.

Later, her cousin didn't talk to her for four or five days about this...... Her uncle was also angry with her.

She couldn't understand it at all, wasn't she just watching a ball game. Does it matter who you support?

She told Fang Jinyan about it.

At this time, they had arrived in Milan and were separated from Lou Teng and the others. Fang Jinyan planned to accompany Xu Xiaoyao to find her grandfather's family.

"That player is Kaka, right?" Fang Jinyan said coldly.

"You even know Kaka?!" Xu Xiaoyao asked in surprise. She actually found out that the player's name was Kaka later, and she had bought his jersey and poster. Of course, as a pseudo-fan, she is also three minutes hot.

She still prefers to sleep rather than watching football games, and she basically gets up in the middle of the night to watch football games in China, so she is not in the mood.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In your eyes, am I an alien? Fang Jinyan said.

"No...... I didn't mean that, I just, I just thought it was too coincidental......" Xu Xiaoyao hurriedly denied it.

Although she really doubted it in her heart, she could never admit it.

"When I was in high school, I used to go out to the Internet cafΓ© with my classmates in the middle of the night to watch football games, and at that time, I couldn't watch the games on my mobile phone, and there was no TV in the dormitory." Fang Jinyan said.

"Oh." Xu Xiaoyao nodded and said.

I really can't see it, she thought silently in her heart.

"Are you a Kaka fan too?" She asked again.

"At that time, it was considered that at that time, our classmates wanted to come to Europe to watch a live ball game, but no one came to make it, and now I guess I can't see it." Fang Jinyan said.

"Huh...... The San Siro Stadium is now estimated to have tens of thousands of zombies. Xu Xiaoyao said.

"Disaster was in the afternoon, and it wasn't a weekend, so there shouldn't have been a game at that time."

"Oh, I forgot about it."

"The front is the survivor office of the Milan base, and now the Milan base is very stable, if your grandfather's family is here, there should be a registration, you go in and ask, I am waiting for you here, you have a letter of introduction from Mr. Giulio, no one should embarrass you." Fang Jinyan suddenly turned back to the topic.

The Julio in his mouth is the head of diplomacy at the Milan base, and he is an old acquaintance with Lou Teng, so it is not a problem to get her a letter of introduction, of course, the reason why Lou Teng is willing to go out is also because of Fang Jinyan's face.

"I see, I'm sorry for you."

"You're welcome." Fang Jinyan nodded slightly.

Xu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and stepped into the "survivor office" at the Milan base.

In fact, she didn't have much hope in her heart, but when it came, she still couldn't help but be extremely nervous and scared.

She was afraid to hear the bad news from her loved ones again.

Half an hour later, Xu Xiaoyao rushed out with the degree unique to a talent, and the other party said loudly with a happy face:

"Brother Fang! My grandfather and my grandmother are still alive! They are alive! ”

With such a bright smile, Fang Jinyan has not seen it for a long, long time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ My cousin is still alive too! They live in the base right now, and this is their address! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Brother Fang, do you know, when I just found their names, my heart was about to jump out! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Luckily, there was a letter of introduction from Mr. Giulio, otherwise they wouldn't have looked it up for me! ”

Her love was very excited, and she talked to Fang Jinyan incoherently, this was probably the first time she had said so many words to Fang Jinyan at one time.

"Let's go find them now." Fang Jinyan finally interjected.

"Hmmm! Good! Xu Xiaoyao nodded excitedly and said.

……

Then the two of them worked together, according to the address, to find the place where Xu Xiaoyao's grandmother's family lived.

It seemed pretty good, a European-style apartment building, and although it looked a little messy, it was much better than the slums they had seen before, where there were no houses!

"Looks like they're doing a good job, maybe some of them are evolutionaries too!" Xu Xiaoyao was even happier.

"It's possible." Fang Jinyan said.

This is naturally a nonsense, and it is the same as not saying it.

But Xu Xiaoyao was in a happy mood, so she naturally didn't care about these inconsequential things.

The two went to Xu Xiaoyao's grandparents' room together and knocked on the door.

A moment later, a trembling old woman opened the door.

After Xu Xiaoyao saw her, she was stunned and froze in place......

"Grandma, is that you? How do you ......?" she choked up after a few seconds.

The reason why she is like this is because now her grandmother looks much older than before......

People who were originally less than 6o years old now look as if they are already 8o years old!

"Xiao Yao? …… Are you my Xiao Yao? ......" The old man looked at Xu Xiaoyao sluggishly for a long time, and it took a long time to call out her name.

Then Xu Xiaoyao couldn't help but hug her and cried bitterly.

At this time, an old man of the yellow race inside also walked out, in the same old voice: "Xiao Yao? My God, Xiao Yao, why are you here? ”

……

So Fang Jinyan stood outside the door, quietly watching Xu Xiaoyao reunite with his relatives, although the three of them completely ignored him, he didn't mind.

It was a long time before the three of them remembered him, and invited him into the house to sit.

After entering the house, the old man wanted to find something to eat for Fang Jinyan and Xu Xiaoyao, and finally took out a half-eaten piece of bread from under the old sand.

Fang Jinyan and Xu Xiaoyao naturally didn't dislike it, so they took it and took a bite.

"Xiao Yao, this young man is ......" Xu Xiaoyao's grandmother looked at Fang Jinyan and asked.

"He's my captain." Xu Xiaoyao said, and then changed the topic and asked, "Grandma, what about my cousin?" Where is she? …… And why are your heads all white......"

She didn't ask her uncle, aunt, cousin, or cousin-in-law, because she hadn't seen them on the list before, so she knew that it must be bad luck.

As soon as the two old men heard Xu Xiaoyao ask about her cousin, they immediately sighed again and again......

"Alas...... Your cousin she...... Alas...... Alas...... It's all because the two of us old things are useless...... Otherwise, she wouldn't be like that......" The old man sighed for a long time, but still didn't say anything.

"Grandparents and grandparents, don't be sad, it's already good to be alive, no matter what, it will be fine in the future." Xu Xiaoyao didn't continue to ask, but just comforted them.

Now she is much more mature than before. (To be continued......)
