Among them were 24 flares, no wonder the commander was so generous just now.
Now that the storage space was large enough, Henry collected some shovels, daggers, clothing, skis, raincoats, blankets, kerosene, and other tools.
The small warehouse contained 60 pieces of 1000-ounce silver ingots and 600 pieces of 1000-ounce copper ingots.
At the current price of 1.12 us dollar per ounce for silver, these 60,000 ounces of silver ingots were worth 67,200 us dollar.
As for copper ingots, one ton is about 1,000 us dollar, so this was equivalent to 17,000 us dollar.
I'm rich!
His net worth instantly inflated by over 50%.
It was worth his working overtime late into the night!
Henry gleefully put the silver and copper ingots into his space.
Although these were probably not pure silver or pure copper, they should be over 93% pure.
There was nothing special in the other rooms.
Henry walked to the smelting room, took out a 50-pound TNT with a 15-second delay, placed it in the center to activate, and then quickly fled.
When Henry reached the factory gate, there was a huge explosion behind him, and the entire smelting room collapsed.
He walked up the slope, collecting all 96 corpses and 3 dead horses into his space.
Additionally, twelve horses had broken legs, so he put them out of their misery and collected them into his space.
Some horses must have run far away, as the strong smell of blood could easily attract fierce beasts.
There were also thirty-eight horses near the slope.
Henry now only had 256 gray bead empty shells and 20 white bead empty shells; the green bead empty shells had all dissipated.
However, he gained 2 new green bead, 52 white bead, and 64 gray bead.
These were good warhorses used by the McKinley Family, and Henry put them all into his space after integrating 38 gray bead empty shells.
However, they all had special markings and could not be taken out of the storage space normally.
But they could be used for emergency mobility when Henry needed it, for example, keeping 50 horses in his space, and when he needed to travel, he could run at 60 kilometers per hour without concern for the horses' stamina, changing horses every 10 minutes, thus running 500 kilometers in 500 minutes.
Including turnaround time, that's 600 minutes, or 10 hours, to cover 500 kilometers.
It's important to know that horses are animals with poor stamina; a good horse can generally only run at less than 20 kilometers per hour for 10 hours a day, covering 200 kilometers—and that's not continuous running; the total time might take 15 or 16 hours.
In an era without cars, this mobility was quite good.
Moreover, if there are better horse breeds in the future, mobility can be even faster and further.
With all the tasks completed, Henry decided to leave the living quarters alone; he didn't want to attack ordinary people.
Even if there might still be members of the McKinley Family inside.
His counterattack and assault on the McKinley Family were merely for self-preservation and development; eliminating their key figures and important military strength was enough.
Later, plenty of jackals would naturally rush in and tear the McKinley Family apart.
Henry told himself that he was truly not a bloodthirsty or cruel person; he simply acted when necessary.
So he took out the horse he rode in on, and under the light of the horse lantern, he galloped back to Fresco Town.
Alone, he galloped under the faint starlight across the vast, ancient lands of the West, a sense of wildness washing over him.
One man, one horse, one horse lantern.
It truly felt like a heartbroken person at the end of the world.
As Henry was immersed in the feeling he had created, he noticed the horse was a little startled. He looked up to see fifteen pairs of green, fierce, and violent eyes, like ghost fire, staring intently at them.
He didn't know if they were gray wolves or coyotes, but Henry knew they would soon be dead wolves.
A "one-thousandth" Winchester Rifle appeared out of thin air in his hands, and he fired repeatedly.
At a distance of two or three hundred meters, as long as he wasn't aiming for headshots, Henry could hit every shot, even while galloping on horseback.
Gunfire roared!
Nine seconds later, Henry put away his rifle and continued to gallop.
Behind him, 15 pairs of green eyes had closed forever, and their bodies would soon become nutrients for nature.
Henry now felt a sense of detachment, as if he had accomplished his task and could simply walk away.
Around ten o'clock, he returned home.
He spread two thick blankets on the wooden floor of the first-floor hall and began the mechanical work of searching the corpses.
It took him a full 2 hours to finish sorting and counting.
Cash income increased by 4253.6 us dollar, and various weapons, ammunition, and tools were greatly replenished.
Henry now had 48 warhorses, greatly increasing his mobility.
The release life progress bar reached 3rd level 4.78%, with 110 gray bead, 86 white bead, 5 green bead, and 218 gray bead empty shells and 20 white bead empty shells below it.
Among them, 2 green bead and 2 white bead had skill and talent halos flowing.
The current number of release bead was equivalent to 590 gray bead, which could be used to further enhance talents other than Warning.
Henry walked into the utility room on the first floor, locked the door, and sat on a chair to use the 4 green bead with skills.
Instantly, Henry was enveloped by a warm sensation. He felt that his body had been stronger than other boys since childhood, his strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, and he was a born noble, having received very strict training in dressing, dining, and social etiquette. He was also proficient in archery, often returning with a full haul from hunts. Furthermore, he was very good at playing billiards, often dominating in bars.
Six minutes passed, and Henry awoke. Three new skills appeared on his panel—Noble Etiquette LV3, Archery LV3, and Billiards LV4—along with a talent, Divine Strength LV1, which provided an additional 20% increase in strength.
Henry's grandfather's branch had declined to the point of fleeing to a mountain gully in North America's West to become a sheriff, and some of the basic noble education for their descendants had long been completely lost.
So this Noble Etiquette LV3 was quite good, convenient for Henry's future interactions in high society.
Billiards LV4 simply overwrote his previous Billiards LV1.
Archery LV3 was also good, but he had no immediate use for it.
The strength talent was excellent; with a slight exertion, Henry's arms, chest, back, and abdominal muscles quickly swelled, filled with surging power.
Among the three talents—Divine Strength, Divine Speed, and Super Reaction—Henry unhesitatingly chose to upgrade Super Reaction—after all, the signature skill in the game Wild West Hickok is "Dead Eye"—which temporarily slows down time during combat and automatically marks enemy body parts aimed at by the player for high-speed shooting.
He had already used 2 green bead and 2 white bead, and the panel still stored 30 gray bead worth of energy, so he only needed 370 gray bead worth of energy.
Henry concentrated his thoughts: Use 70 white bead and 20 gray bead to upgrade Super Reaction.
After the panel absorbed the light released by the release bead again, it emitted milky white light that merged into Henry's body.
Two minutes later, the upgrade was complete. Super Reaction was raised to LV2. Under mental concentration, Henry's reaction speed was 10 times that of an ordinary person, and the duration remained unchanged.
With no opponent nearby, Henry didn't know how much he had changed, so he suppressed the urge to test this talent and quickly went to wash up.
He woke up at 6 AM. After washing up, Henry put some clothes into a 26-inch suitcase, quickly tidied up, and then went to Linda's place.
After they had breakfast, Henry agreed with Linda to come back in an hour, then left with Paul the Border Collie.
As he reached the blind spot in the shadow of the back door of a nearby house, Henry integrated a gray bead empty shell and took Paul into his space—also for a duration of 2160 hours.
Immediately after, Henry arrived at the police station.
