"Haha, you see, this building doesn't look like a bird's egg in the grass~" Machuz joked with a smile as he pointed to the white oval building surrounded by mountains in front of him.

"The next exam is about to start, and you still have the heart to joke at this time......" Yang Yunyi carefully sorted out the suit on his body, and by the way, he raised his eyes to look in the direction that Machuz was pointing, he was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, but in an instant, he turned his head away and returned to that disdainful look.

"It's a bit like you saying this, I didn't expect the examination room for the second level of the exam to be in the mountains......" Ye Yu looked at the "bird egg" in front of him, and slowly walked over with the other three.

Behind him, there was the roar of the plane starting again, and the first examination room where everyone had been sitting had already left, and just as the plane took off, three men in black uniforms stepped out of the white oval building.

"Congratulations to the four of you for successfully passing the first exam, please follow me in for a short rest, and you will be notified to take the second exam later." One of the leading men gave a brief explanation, and then motioned for everyone to follow. Ye Yu and the others did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the men in uniform into this giant "bird egg".

Although it doesn't look like much from the outside, the inside of the "bird's egg" is surprisingly large. As soon as I entered the hall on the first floor, the huge transparent conical pipe in the center came straight into everyone's eyes.

I saw that this pipe went up vertically from the ground to the roof of the house, running through the entire building; The various floors in the "Bird's Egg" are spiraling around the central pipe, with more than a dozen floors; On one side of each floor, near the central pipe, there is a corridor, while the rooms on the inside are completely enclosed, so you can't see the inside or see anyone else.

"The next exam will be held in three hours, and considering the fatigue of your journey, we have arranged a room in the underground rest area for you to adjust slightly, please come with me." The man who led the team said as usual, turned around and led the group to the elevator on the side.

Ye Yu followed the team, and at the same time, he was quietly observing the giant pipe in the center of the "bird egg". Through the glass curtain wall of the pipe, Ye Yu can faintly see many steel supports, which seem to look like aircraft launch towers; He looked up at the ceiling, and sure enough, he saw a moving roof on top of the "bird's egg", so it seemed that there should also be a tarmac on it, and the plane parked underground was transported up the central pipe.

It feels like a military base...... Ye Yu stepped on the elevator and thought to himself. To be honest, if this exam is a military assessment of physical fitness, there is almost no chance of winning for a temporary supernumerary like him. Lan Jue's previous special training for him could only barely force him to protect himself, if he really wanted to engage in one-on-one professional fighting or something, it would definitely be the rhythm of being beaten every minute.

Forget it, don't think about it, just act on the opportunity...... Ye Yu rubbed his eyebrows, a wave of exhaustion gradually crept up, after experiencing the previous air horror, his energy and physical strength were consumed a lot, now he just wants to sleep well, judging from the expressions of several other people, it seems that he has the same idea.

"Ding Dong-" The sound of the elevator pulled Ye Yu back from his thoughts, obviously his destination had arrived.

Everyone stepped out of the elevator and unexpectedly found that the big lobby in front of them was quite lively, many young people were chatting in groups, and when they saw Ye Yu and others coming, they just looked up, and then turned their heads to continue the topic.

"You wait here for a while, and someone will tell you where to rest later." With that, the man in uniform walked straight away.

"These should be candidates who have passed the first level, there are quite a few of them, and it seems that the pass rate of the first level this year is quite high." Machuz looked around the hall at the bustling crowd, as if to identify acquaintances.

"What? In previous years, a lot of people were brushed off at the first level? Ye Yu asked.

"Of course, although the content of the exam is different every year, the pass rate of each level will not be very high, not only the first level, but also the next few levels will become more and more difficult, and more and more people will be eliminated." Shen Xiao next to him added.

"That's it......" Ye Yu lowered his eyes, and his heart became more and more uncertain about the second exam.

"No matter how difficult it is, as long as you have the ability, you are not afraid that you will not be able to pass ......," Yang Yunyi said as he looked at Ye Yu's expression. Instead of worrying about what you don't have, it's better to be yourself......"

"Oh, I can't imagine that Yang Gongzi, who has always been a loner, has found a companion this time? It's amazing. ”

A yin and yang strange voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone, and I saw two young men, one tall and one short, who were also in suits, slowly pacing towards Ye Yu and the others, with the mockery on their faces undisguised.

"It's you ......" As soon as he saw the two of them, Yang Yunyi's face became gloomy.

"Why are you so ugly, anyway, we've been classmates for so many years, haven't we?" The tallest of the two spoke again, a hint of displeasure in his long, narrow eyes. "Anyway, aren't you going to introduce us to your new companion?"

As he spoke, the tall young man's gaze casually swept over Yang Yunyi's face, and finally fell on Ye Yu on the side.

The young man's gaze and attitude made Ye Yu a little uncomfortable, but for the sake of politeness, Ye Yu still reported his name.

"Hello, first time meeting, my name is Ye Yu."

Ye Yu stretched out his hand, but he didn't get the other party's backshake. Ye Yu looked at each other, but found that the two people in front of him seemed to be surprised for a moment, but soon, they changed to a meaningful expression.

"Hehehe, I'll just say, how could Yang Gongzi make friends with ordinary people at will, it turns out that the other party is a related household that the director of the Eastern District Building opened the back door and came in. The tall young man sneered, his tone becoming more and more unpolite.

Ye Yu frowned and withdrew his hand. The other party's gaze was still unscrupulously scanning Ye Yu up and down, while Machuz and Shen Xiao on the side were completely ignored.

"Enough!" Yang Yunyi finally couldn't bear it anymore and reprimanded. "What do these things have to do with you?"

"Hey, I'm still angry." The tall young man shrugged. "Okay, then I'll shut up, I can't afford to mess with the son of the head of the Central Military Intelligence Department."

Yang Yunyi clenched his fists and glared at the tall young man, seemingly trying to restrain his emotions.

"It's almost time, let's go." Just when the atmosphere was tense, the shorter man beside the tall young man, who had been silent, opened his mouth indifferently.

The tall young man seemed to be unsatisfied, but when he saw that his companion had turned around and was about to leave, he had no choice but to give up, and after one last glance at Yang Yunyi, he followed and left.

"Who are those people?" Ye Yu looked at the backs of the two and asked softly.

"The taller one is Zhao Qi, the son of the second director of the Second Military Intelligence Department, and the slightly shorter one is Chen Zhijing, the second son of the chairman of the Military Commission for Discipline Inspection." Machuz sighed.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Yang Yun turned to everyone, his face was still not good-looking. “…… I still have some of my own things to deal with, so I'll see you in the exam room first. ”

After speaking, Yang Yunyi seemed to be deliberately avoiding everyone, and left quickly without looking back.

"That...... I saw my colleagues in our department, and I went to say hello to them, and I was also one step ahead. After Shen Xiao signaled to Ye Yu and the others, he also turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

"It's good to have colleagues take care of each other~ It's a pity that I am the only one in our department to participate this year." Machuz smiled helplessly.

"Having said that, but Yang Yunyi's colleagues are ......" Ye Yu paused and turned his inquiring gaze to Machuz. Although they are both sons of high-ranking officials, they seem to have a very tense relationship? ”

"Alas, there is also a comparison between the second generation of officials. Yang Yunyi has been famous for a long time before, has strong ability, and has a strong personality, with him in front of Zhuyu, the other second generation of officials are somewhat dwarfed; In addition, his father is also relatively powerful in the entire military intelligence system, so you know...... I heard that he is not popular among the children of executives, and that kind of thing should not be an exception. Machuz explained quietly. In short, the relationship between China is more complicated, so you don't care so much. ”

Ye Yu nodded, although Zhao Qi's words earlier made him a little unhappy, he didn't intend to dwell on these battles of words, and he was not interested in participating in the battles between the top leaders. It's just that somehow, thinking of the way Yang Yunyi deliberately avoided alone in order to avoid dragging everyone down, Ye Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"When I first met Yang Yunyi, I also felt that he was cold and unapproachable, and even felt that he was faintly hostile to me, but after the first exam, I found that he was not as cold as he appeared...... Although I don't know much about him, I honestly don't have a bad impression. ”

"Not everyone has that opportunity to discover his true qualities, and many more people define their character based on their appearances or hearsay." Machuz shook his head. "It is difficult to get close to the power of his father with a cold temperament...... How many people have a wrong first impression of him because of these oral statements, and then look at him harshly with colored glasses, and reinforce this stereotype from some minutiae. ”

"As long as they are human, there will always be advantages and disadvantages, but do they only stare at Yang Yunyi's shortcomings?"

"It's cold in high places, since Yang Yunyi is burdened with fame, he naturally has to face more questioning eyes and loneliness......" Machuz sighed and patted Ye Yu's shoulder. But at least this time we're willing to be his partner, aren't we? I just hope that he can let go of his knots and scruples......"

Partner...... Is it?

Ye Yu subconsciously touched the metal copper buckle hanging around his neck. Once upon a time, he also had a partner who was born and died with him, but now all his thoughts can only be remembered through this old thing left by the deceased......

Thinking of this, Ye Yu's mood began to be a little depressed again. He raised his head and aimlessly glanced at the crowd around him, hoping to divert his attention, but at that moment he suddenly froze, and his whole body began to tremble slightly as if it had been passed by electricity.

For he caught a glimpse of a silhouette, a silhouette that was so nostalgic and yet familiar.

Skinny body, iconic baby face, big dark eyes......

Is that...... Little Flower!?
