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 developed 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 developed 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, it plays a greater role than Munich and Zurich.

There are more than 1.43 million companies in the Milan region that are engaged in production, trade and services.

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 100 railway stations, with 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 90 percent 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 Crédit Italia and the Lombardy Savings Bank.

In addition, 130 banks of various types, 900 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, leading the four major fashion weeks.

Milan brings together many of the world's most famous fashion brands, such as Armani, Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Gucci, Moschino and more.

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, as a sports idiot, she was not interested in this kind of sport at all, but one year her uncle took her and her cousin to watch 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 an embarrassment when she watched most of the game and realized that she was supporting the wrong team, her uncle and cousin were both Inter Milan fans, but she had been cheering for another team in the same city But she thinks she can't blame her, who knows that Inter Milan was obviously wearing the away team's jersey at her own stadium at the time, and the red and black jersey worn opposite was different in color, but 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 and ran very fast.

Later, her cousin didn't talk to her for four or five days because of this, and her uncle was very angry with her.

She couldn't understand it at all, isn't it just watching a ball game, and who she supports is so important She told Fang Jinyan about it.

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

"That player is Kaka," Fang 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 also bought his jersey and posters, 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.

"In your eyes, am I an alien person?"

Fang Jinyan said.

"No, I don't mean that, I am, I just think it's 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 café 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.

"Hehe, the San Siro Stadium is now estimated to have tens of thousands of zombies."

Xu Xiaoyao said.

"The disaster was in the afternoon, and it wasn't a weekend, so there should have been no games at that time."

"Oh, I forgot about it."

"In front of it 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 at the speed unique to a speed talent, and the other party said loudly with a happy face: "Brother Fang, my grandfather, my grandmother are still alive, they are still alive" With such a bright smile, Fang Jinyan has not seen it for a long, long time.

"My cousin is still alive, they live in the base now, this is their address" "Brother Fang, do you know, when I just found their names, my heart was about to jump out" "Fortunately, there is a letter of introduction from Mr.

Giulio, otherwise they would not have looked it up to me" She was very emotional, 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.

"Well, okay," Xu Xiaoyao nodded excitedly.

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 "It looks like they're mixing well, maybe some of them are also evolutionaries," Xu Xiaoyao became 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, what are 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 60 years old now look as if they are already 80 years old "Xiao Yao, you are my Xiao Yao" The old man looked at Xu Xiaoyao 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 came 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 sofa.

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 asked after looking at Fang Jinyan a few times.

"He's my captain."

Xu Xiaoyao said, and then changed the topic and asked, "Grandma, where is her cousin, why is your hair 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 blamed us two old things for being 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. t1706231537:
