Chapter 722: The Kidnapping and Ransom Case Ended Before It Even Began
Two days later, the Ark presidential election began.
All survivors can vote.
The security forces set up layers of defense at the polling area and strictly prohibited fighting and disturbances.
Voting will last about ten days, and any delay exceeding ten days will be considered as abstention.
Originally, the voting time would be much longer than this, but due to abnormal circumstances, the voting time can only be shortened as much as possible to prevent "unexpected" situations from occurring in the middle.
On the third day after the voting began, one of Yang Lianhai's guards brought a letter to Yao Tao.
"Doudou asked me to pass this on to you."
Yao Tao took the letter and found that the handwriting on the envelope was not Doudou's.
So she opened the letter and was silent for a long time after reading it.
"What's written?" Bai Lin, who was playing games, came over.
"A letter urging us to pay the ransom."
Yao Tao said helplessly.
"What ransom?" Bai Lin kept playing the game console in his hand. He had recently become addicted to arcade fighting games, and the sounds of "Hey!" and "Ha!" could be heard from the game console from time to time.
Bai Lin had long forgotten about Feng Jing's kidnapping.
Yang Lianhai looked up from behind a pile of documents when he heard them talking. "Do you want my help?"
"No, just a few local survivors."
They have kidnapped Feng Jing for many days, and it is not certain whether Feng Jing is still alive.
There was no response from her side.
The men who kidnapped Feng Jing were worried.
"Why didn't you reply?"
"That shouldn't be the case, Second Brother. Did you really give the letter to that child?"
"I gave it to him, and the child accepted it."
"Then why haven't you replied yet?"
Several people set up a temporary camp near the Ark.
They brought Feng Jing here and took turns guarding him.
But hostages also need to eat.
Their conditions were already poor, and not only could they not feed Feng Jing, they themselves could not even get enough to eat.
They are lazy and don't want to go hunting.
During the two years of the apocalypse, they survived by robbing and stealing supplies from other survivors.
They thought that by kidnapping Feng Jing, they would definitely get a large sum of money.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, Yao Tao didn't even receive a reply, let alone a visit from an acquaintance.
They didn't give up and ran to the grocery store and wandered around outside the door.
Because they were afraid of being recognized by Doudou, they even found a piece of cloth to cover their faces.
In fact, Doudou had recognized them a long time ago.
He calmly called the people in the archery hall next door and asked them to help find the people from the security team.
The security team came and arrested them directly.
At first they kept shouting that they were innocent.
After knowing what kind of punishment they would face, they were all terrified.
Being sent to work on the bottom floor of the Ark is tantamount to a death sentence!
"We haven't received the ransom yet, and we haven't caused any trouble. You can't just arrest us like this."
"Yes, we captured the hostages outside the Ark, not inside."
"Where are the hostages?" asked the security team.
After several people revealed the location where the hostages were being held, the security group notified the dispatched armed group. When the armed group found their temporary camp, they only saw a drunk man lying there. Feng Jing, who was tied up in the tent, had suffocated to death because the cloth gagged his mouth too tightly.
The armed group also captured the drunkard and threw him directly into jail.
Just like that, the hostage kidnapping case was resolved without Yao Tao even showing up.
In the following days, Yao Tao continued to play games with Bai Lin every day, exchanging gaming skills.
Bai Lin is not good at love games, but he can handle all other games.
Yao Tao is no match for Bai Lin, so Bai Lin can only fight the machine alone.
This morning during breakfast, Yao Tao was helping Bai Lin spread butter on the bread slices, when she saw Bai Lin holding the knife in one hand and spinning it deftly.
Bai Lin finally knows how to use a knife?
Yao Tao was a little bit unbelieving.
She taught the boss for so long, but he still didn't learn it.
How come he learned it after just playing the game for a few days?
Yao Tao didn't quite believe it, so after dinner, she and Bai Lin hid in another room. Yao Tao took out a machete from the space and asked Bai Lin to try it.
Bai Lin was actually wielding it quite well.
Yao Tao: “…”
It hurts.
