"Wait a minute..." Qi Xia frowned, as if he had thought of something. "We have to resist the enemy and protect our own people?"

It sounded like a familiar situation.

Finally... I have a way this time.

Qi Xia ran to Iron Plate's side and helped him up with this heavy object. He slowly rolled it on the ground, as if verifying the feasibility of his plan.

"Hey! Qiao Jiajin!" Qi Xia called out. "I found the 'answer'! Come over here!"

"I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time." Qiao Jiajin said slowly. "Wait, I'll be right there."

Black Bear vaguely felt that the "prey" in front of him wanted to escape, so he stood on his hind legs again, increasing his attack range.

But Qiao Jiajin had no intention of running away at all. He suddenly took a step forward, with his feet apart, his shoulders moving with his waist, and his right fist rotating 180 degrees towards Black Bear's cheek.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, this punch landed solidly on Black Bear's face, pushing it back half a step.

Black Bear paused for a moment, its nose emitting hot air, then shook its head, seemingly dizzy from the sudden punch.

It never expected that the "prey" that had been running away would have such terrifying explosive power.

Qiao Jiajin also shook his arm, which was sore from the impact, and cursed, "You idiot, you're quite sturdy..."

Black Bear regained its senses, opened its mouth, and roared a few times, becoming even more furious as it swung its attack again.

Qiao Jiajin carefully watched the opponent's movements, took a small step back with his right foot, then shifted his weight by changing the position of his left and right feet. Not only did he dodge the attack, but he also made Black Bear lose its balance and almost fall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he crouched slightly and threw an uppercut from below, hitting Black Bear's chin hard.

A strange wail sounded, and Black Bear took another punch.

Although this kind of damage posed no threat to its tough skin and flesh, it did make it wary of the man in front of it.

"I'm exhausted, my hand is about to break, and you're not even fainting?" Qiao Jiajin spat on the ground, then rolled away from Black Bear with a forward somersault.

Qi Xia, who saw this scene, was slightly stunned. He thought Qiao Jiajin was just an ordinary hooligan, but it seemed that his combat ability was very strong.

These moves were not like street fights, but more like mixed martial arts.

Qiao Jiajin came to Qi Xia's side and asked while shaking his right hand, "What should we do?"

"You come!" Qi Xia snapped back to his senses and beckoned to Qiao Jiajin. "Hold this iron plate and use it to block Black Bear's attacks."

"Just like this?" Qiao Jiajin was a little puzzled. "Are you kidding me? I thought you would have a better idea!"

"No, this is the best idea!" Qi Xia pulled Qiao Jiajin in front of him and let him support the iron plate.

But this iron plate was round and unstable when placed on the ground, making it very easy to roll.

Qiao Jiajin had to lower his body and use his shoulder to support the iron plate, trying to make it more stable.

"This thing is very heavy..." Qiao Jiajin gritted his teeth. "I can't lift it..."

"You don't have to lift it." Qi Xia explained, "Just roll it on the ground!"

"Damn, now I understand, but I can't see that beast like this." Qiao Jiajin said, "This big iron plate blocks my line of sight. I don't even know where it is to defend against its attacks."

At this moment, Black Bear became even more angry and cautiously approached Qiao Jiajin.

"I'll help you look." Qi Xia stood behind Qiao Jiajin and said.

"You?"

"Yes, I'll hold onto your clothes from behind." Qi Xia said, "I'll pull to the right, and you roll the iron plate to the right. I'll pull to the left, and you roll the iron plate to the left."

"Alright..." Qiao Jiajin nodded and started adjusting the direction of the iron plate, trying to face it towards Black Bear. "In this way, we should be able to survive... I just don't know if those hooligans will come and snatch the iron plate."

"They won't come to snatch it." Qi Xia said, "Because I'm going to protect everyone here."

"What?" Qiao Jiajin was stunned. "You want to use this iron plate to block everyone?!"

"Hey!" Qi Xia turned his head and shouted at the group of people fighting. "If you keep fighting, you'll really die. If you don't want to die, come behind me."

Everyone heard Qi Xia's words and looked at him, then looked at the iron plate in Qiao Jiajin's hand.

The middle-aged man was the first to stand up, wiping his face that had been scratched by someone in the melee. "You two idiots, put down the iron plate for me!"

He stumbled towards Qiao Jiajin, seemingly wanting to snatch the iron plate back. But Qiao Jiajin couldn't let go at this moment, so he could only glare at the middle-aged man.

At this moment, Qi Xia took a step forward and stood between the two.

"Hey! Move aside!" the middle-aged man shouted. "Little Glasses! Come and help!"

Qi Xia's mind raced, and a voice echoed in his mind: "The Pareto principle states that decision-making power often lies in the hands of only 20% of the people. To control a group, you only need to control a few of them..."

Before the middle-aged man could call for help, Qi Xia suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck tightly.The man had never imagined that the seemingly refined man before him could be so ruthless, and he was momentarily stunned.

"Stop messing around," Qi Xia said, "If you want to live, listen to me."

"Listen to you?!" The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with anger, "Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"

Qi Xia's right hand tightened, firmly gripping the man's throat: "I'm not negotiating with you."

Seeing Qi Xia's behavior, Qiao Jiajin couldn't help but frown.

He had previously thought that Qi Xia was very smart, and following him might offer a glimmer of hope for survival. He had never expected the man to have such a fierce side.

"Cough cough... let... let go..." The middle-aged man was about to suffocate, his hand continuously pounding Qi Xia's arm, "Are you crazy..."

"Either you die here by my hand, or you obediently stand back." Qi Xia's eyes were icy cold, as if devoid of any emotion, "Choose one of these two options."

Seeing this, Little Glasses hurried over, pleading, "Bro... it doesn't have to be like this... let Old Lv go first..."

Although he said this, he was constantly adjusting his position, standing to the side of Qi Xia, and gradually moving closer to him.

Qi Xia quickly sized him up, noticing that one side of his glasses had been shattered in the chaos, making him look rather disheveled.

"The law of the hunt..." Qi Xia's eyes were fixed on the two men, silently reciting in his heart, "The hunter must be more ferocious than the prey, even the most cunning prey has its weaknesses and vulnerabilities..."

"Bro, let him go first... or else..."

Little Glasses was inching closer to Qi Xia, seemingly with other intentions.

Qi Xia's face turned cold, and he immediately extended his other hand. This time, he didn't strangle the man's neck, but instead grabbed his cheek, with his thumb pressing on the shattered glasses.

"Holy shit!" Little Glasses exclaimed, immediately closing his eyes tightly.

"If you also want to cause trouble, I'll rub the shards of your glasses into your eyes."

"No, no, no...!" Little Glasses waved his hands frantically. At this moment, he was half-squatting, looking up, not daring to move at all, "I was wrong, bro, we'll listen to whatever you say."
