Gao Yang found a hotel and settled in for the time being, but he had to find a long-term place of refuge for Yelena and her daughter Natalia.
Glolov was bound to come to Johannesburg to see Natalia and her mother, but Gao Yang believed it was unlikely he would arrive anytime soon. Libya had been completely subjected to a no-fly zone, and even the seas were blockaded. For Glolov and Cui Bo to travel from war-torn Libya to South Africa, they must first get to another country, and then make their way to South Africa. Gao Yang optimistically estimated that it would be good if Glolov could make it in ten days.
Gao Yang and Glolov both agreed that Natalia and her mother had nowhere to go and could only stay in Africa. If that was the case, Johannesburg, where they were now, was undoubtedly the best choice. At least compared to other cities in Africa, Johannesburg was the best in every respect.
