Chapter 49 Johannesburg, 26° 12′ 16″ S, 28° 2′ 44″ E, Krueger National Park

Andalas decide to follow Akiko's suggestion. He immediately left for Johannesburg. No information had been obtained from The Kitchen about Target W-07. But Andalas knew that the target, Afolabi Akinyemi, lived in Johannesburg.

Afolabi Akinyemi was one of The OWC figure who had a passion for hunting. He was born and raised in a slum area in Pretoria during Apartheid era. It was the situation that prompted his soul to rebel. Afolabi was a sensitive person who gets angry easily.

After a few years living abroad, Afolabi returned to Pretoria under different conditions. Apartheid was gone. But Afolabi's sensitive soul grew even stronger. It was during his adventures outside South Africa that Afolabi turned into a high-level criminal. Joins a terrorist organization called The White Angel. A satire for the white people in South Africa who were the targets of their extortion and violence.

Afolabi was notorious in the world of terrorists and criminals when he and his group managed to hijack planes several times with the motive of asking for ransom. No half-hearted. Dozens of planes from dozens of countries have been victims. From there, Afolabi's wealth began to flow.

He then turned into an illegal diamond mining entrepreneur. Then officially took over one of the largest diamond mines in the world located in his country. Afolabi became a millionaire. Stepmother offered him a position on the OWC ranks and he accepted it. Afolabi was an invaluable asset to OWC. His background was strong and have a lot of wealth.

Since becoming the leader of the most influential mafia in Africa, Afolabi's most special hobby had been hunting. Wild dogs, Hyenas, Cheetahs, Leopards, to Lions, were Afolabi's favorite hunting targets.

There was no hunting permit for these predatory species anywhere on the African continent, but Afolabi hunt them anyway. Illegally of course. On one occasion, the Afolabi group clashed with national park rangers in Kenya. In the incident that killed 3 guards, Afolabi escaped the law because of his money and power. He sacrificed 2 of his men for lengthy prison time in Kenya.

Andalas received word from The Kitchen that Afolabi and his group were near the Krueger National Park. Andalas headed to the park to hunt Afolabi as the prey.

Andalas rented a regular 4WD car for safaris in the African savanna. He would have staked out Afolabi and his group and preceded his entry into Krueger National Park. With The Kitchen help he was issued a research permit from a well-known university in Italy. Andalas was free to enter the national park for the whole month.

Andalas filled the car with camping supplies. There were 3 cameras installed on the right, left, and the top of the safari car. The wild animals in the national park are used to the tourists passing by in their safari cars, so Andalas doesn't have to worry about them unless they were hungry and had not had any prey for a while of course.

The national park officials were completely unaware that the camera on the top of the Andalas car was part of the Sako TRG 42. All he had to do was attach the barrel and handle and the weapon would be ready to go.

Andalas waited from the outskirts of the park. The entire area of ​​Krueger National Park is fenced in two layers. This keeps the animals inside from getting out, and the poachers from getting in.

Afolabi would enter by cutting the fence. For the first 5 days Andalas' job was to install cameras at all points and angles that are likely to be breached by poachers.

After that, Andalas spent most of his time camping inside the national park. It was as if he was doing research in front of his laptop. Even though the laptop screen monitored the 36 camera points he had installed during those few days. Andalas was in the hunt, and he was patiently waiting.

Andalas spent the following days in front of his laptop while keeping an eye on his camera. He also monitored the situation in Gobi. He heard the news that Akiko and Lian Xi killed Abdelahi, Helda, and Zov Tigra on Mongolian mountains. He received updated from Cecilia about the tense situation at the Gobi Facility during the dire moments of evacuation.

By that time the team of scientists and Cathy managed to exit the tunnel at a location not far from Crescent Moon Lake. They were first stage of evacuation . The tunnel that was built to penetrate the Crescent Moon Lake was narrow and only fit for a lorry that commonly used for underground mines.

Suddenly a humongous nuclear explosion occurred on top of the Gobi Facility but the group consisted of Professor Sato and his team of doctors, Professor Mbutu, Professor Lian Yang, Professor Raul, and Cathy and Sefu had already travel for about 50 km using desert cars. The explosion was caused by a nuclear-warhead ICBM called the Flying Dragon fired from the Gangkhar Puensum facility by the Organization.

It's not exactly where the Gobi Facility is located, but it's close enough to destroy the facilities completely.

The Chairman was impatient. When he heard about the failure in Mongolia, the Chairman ordered the launch of nuclear missiles at the location suspected to be the Gobi Facility point based on their own judgement.

The enormous explosion had an extraordinary effect. Cathy and the team of scientists did manage to escape. But because the evacuation process was still ongoing when the blast occured, dozens of people were trapped under the ruins of the Gobi Facility. It would take a long time to evacuate because a team of nuclear experts would have to clean the area from the radiation first.

Cecilia told Andalas that Cathy and the team of scientists, made it to China's territory and was greeted directly by Young Huang, who had decided to declare war on the Organization after the tragic death of his brother in Cayman Island.

Young Huang evacuated all the teams to an undisclosed location even Cathy didn't have a clue where she was. She had only heard that the facility was referred as the KL Facility. The facility was far outside the city. It was in a remote snowy mountain range. They would be able continue the research of Tropical Bacteria serum in the new facility.

Cecilia, Akiko, and Lian Xi were now in Beijing. Luigi set up a safe house for them, a large penthouse on the top floor of one of Beijing City's skyscrapers.

The safe house was the command center to coordinate KL facility, The Kitchen, Beijing Penthouse and Killer Hunter.

Andalas shook his head to hear the extraordinary development. He still had a long list of tasks to be completed. There were still six leaders of the Organization and three leaders of OWC on the hunting list. He was not sure when this would all ends. Andalas only knew for sure that the end of all of this it would be a VIP ticket to hell for him.

The Killer Hunter was surprised when a faint alert sounded from his laptop.

Three SUVs were moving in from the southeastern border of Krueger National Park. Those were Humvees commonly used by the American and European militaries.

The forth car was a safari car that looked sturdy with a modified top suitable for hunting. There were several people in the hunting car.

Andalas stopped the frame. He zoomed in a few times to get a clearer view of who was in the car.

A tall man in a typical African hat sits casually holding the butt of a McMillan TAC 50 sniper rifle mounted on a tripod. Next to him sat a smaller man. In his hands he holds an AWSM or Artic Warfare Super Magnum all-terrain sniper rifle. Andalas recognizes it as one of the most dangerous sniper weapons.

Andalas was curious as to who was the man using such deadly weapon that only the most skilled sniper would use. Andalas zoomed to the face of the person sitting next to Afolabi. Andalas's face turned paled slightly.

Hitoshi Nakamura!
