I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 580 - 478: Security Group

The domestic authorities undoubtedly paid great attention to Chen Xin’s situation, and after a brief discussion, they assigned him an entire security team.

"Hello, Academician Chen, I’m from the GA Bureau, you can call me Ye Yu. I will be responsible for your safety from now on." A woman who appeared to be in her thirties and looked very competent stood in front of Chen Xin, introducing herself while her team members behind her, who were still sorting out things, stopped their work and lined up in front of him.

Chen Xin glanced over, and besides the woman who called herself Ye Yu, there were five team members in the security team behind her.

They varied in height, build, and distinctive features, but none of them appeared particularly outstanding in terms of looks; they all seemed rather ordinary at first glance.

Noticing Chen Xin’s gaze towards her team, Ye Yu proceeded to introduce them: "These are my team members. We have executed many missions together and have been responsible for protecting key leaders and foreign guests. We have rich security experience, and you can trust us with your safety."

Chen Xin didn’t show much reaction to Ye Yu’s words, only nodded and said, "I’m sorry to trouble you all for coming all the way from home to Lucia. From now on, my safety is in your hands."

Chen Xin’s words were just polite, but among Ye Yu’s team, a wiry-looking short man suddenly interjected, "How can this be a trouble! We were just wasting away at home, and now that we have a mission to carry out, we should thank you, Academician Chen!"

"Skinny Monkey, shut up!" Ye Yu immediately scolded, dissatisfied with her team member’s sudden interjection.

Indeed, as he said, as security personnel of the GA Bureau, they were responsible for protecting various important individuals. However, in the current environment with overall peace, they had little to do, leaving them feeling quite idle.

For people like them, having nothing to do might be the greatest happiness for others, but given the different environment, staying idle made them feel rather inactive.

Now, being able to come to Lucia on a mission made everyone quite happy that they could be of service to the country again.

Because of this, the team member called "Skinny Monkey" was a bit too excited, while Ye Yu wanted to avoid leaving a bad impression on Chen Xin because of him.

Chen Xin didn’t mind; after nodding to them, he said to Ye Yu, "I suppose you are aware of the situation. The Lucians may be interested in the Energy Tower technology I possess, so they are plotting. Previously, they sent a female scientist seeking help, but I turned her away. However, they’ll surely employ more than just one method, so I’ll rely on you!"

"Rest assured, Academician Chen. We have had dealings with the KGB before. Although this is their home ground, we have carried out similar missions before and won’t let you be in danger or allow their schemes to succeed," Ye Yu assured Chen Xin earnestly.

Domestically, it has been decided after discussions not to share the Energy Tower technology with Lucia, still only providing them with encapsulated cores. According to relevant departments’ assessment, the female scientist sent by Lucia might only be the beginning, and they might use other means, necessitating increased vigilance.

In fact, the subsequent actions by Lucians have not been slow. They have formally conveyed the requirement to build new Energy Towers to the domestic authorities.

Domestic authorities have not rejected the Lucians’ request to purchase the cores, but they have not fulfilled their entire demand in terms of quantity.

The Lucians plan to build Energy Towers in several of their major cities, and together with the Seed Bank’s Energy Tower, they plan to construct a total of seven Energy Towers.

Domestically, this was not fully agreed upon. Citing insufficient production capacity and a shortage of relevant technical personnel, only three Energy Tower cores were provided to Lucia, and Ye Yu’s team came with these three cores to Lucia.

Ye Yu’s team did not need to concern themselves with the issues regarding the Energy Tower and its cores. Their mission was solely focused on ensuring Chen Xin’s safety and preventing Lucian attempts to spy on him or his technologies.

"Academician Chen, this is Da Qiang. He will be responsible for your personal protection. If anything happens, please cooperate with Da Qiang’s work and follow his instructions," Ye Yu called over a tall young man, introducing him to Chen Xin while entrusting him with this responsibility.

This is often the most troubling aspect of their security work—the target not cooperating, undertaking dangerous actions, which is exactly what security personnel do not wish to see.

Chen Xin had no resistance to this; he nodded cooperatively and said, "In the event of danger, I will act according to the instructions of the professionals. You don’t need to worry about that. I just hope you can eliminate any potential dangers around me."

"Rest assured, that’s why we’re here," Ye Yu nodded and introduced the remaining four members of her team to Chen Xin.

Among the four, although "Skinny Monkey" appeared thin and wiry, he was an expert in explosives, mainly responsible for checking for explosives, preventing someone from placing bombs to endanger their protected target.

Among the other three, one named Lao Wei was a sniper, Zhang Ming was a cybersecurity expert, and Zou Jun was a communications expert.

In this situation, the cybersecurity expert and communications expert were not particularly needed for their usual functions; their main task shifted to protecting Chen Xin.

As for the sniper, Chen Xin initially thought he might be of little use in Lucia, but Lao Wei explained that he was not the type of sniper who lies in wait at a vantage point to take out targets.

On the contrary, he was a counter-sniper who stayed close to the target, quickly countering in the event the target came under sniper fire.

Chen Xin was somewhat surprised; he had never heard of such a sniper before. After all, with a sniper as his girlfriend, he knew a fair amount about snipers, but this was the first time he heard of such a counter-sniper.

"Snipers like us mainly identify the enemy sniper’s position the moment the target is sniped and counterattack immediately," Lao Wei explained his work to Chen Xin with a smile. "After all, even the most elite sniper cannot ensure an instant kill with every shot. Follow-up shots are quite common, and my job is to eliminate the possibility of any follow-up shots."
