Henry walked back to the center of the garden and once again emptied the 12 bullets from his two double-action revolvers, sending off all 12 relatively lightly wounded guards who were still struggling.
Then Henry strode towards the first floor of the main building—it had taken almost two minutes to check 19 rooms, and he estimated the enemies outside would arrive soon.
The first-floor hall was empty, with no one in sight. Henry immediately opened the doors of the six rooms one by one and began to check them.
The first and second rooms from the left were empty; they were the kitchen and a utility room.
The third room was locked from the inside.
Henry walked five or six meters away, pulled out a Winchester Rifle, and fired three shots at the lock, instantly destroying it. Then Henry took out a German Shepherd corpse and threw it towards the door.
"Bang!" The door was completely blasted open, and a skinny white man inside frantically pulled the trigger at the German Shepherd, but Henry shot him in the head with his rifle.
The room was full of file bags and notebooks.
He didn't know if this skinny man was holding onto a sliver of hope, or if his status was too low to have the authority to burn these documents, but he hadn't destroyed these files.
Henry collected all these files, then went to open the door of the fourth equally locked room from the left.
This time, after the German Shepherd smashed open the room, there was no one inside, only some ledgers and a few boxes of cash.
Henry took them all.
Next was the fifth room from the left—the door was wide open, and inside were firearms and ammunition, all of which Henry collected.
Among them, the 1878 rifle and 1200 rounds of .50-90 ammunition were particularly notable.
This rifle maintained basic features such as a large caliber, heavy long barrel, breech loading, falling block action, and exposed "S-shaped" hammer, with a caliber of .50-90.
In addition to the replaceable front sight and a fixed sight plate with adjustable range above the chamber, a Creedmoor vertical peep sight with fine adjustment was also installed at the stock neck.
.
The .50-90 caliber cartridge had a bullet diameter of 12.7 millimeters and a case length of 2.5 inches, loaded with 90 grains (approximately 5.83 grams) of powder, giving it astonishing muzzle velocity and power, capable of knocking down a wild buffalo with one shot from over 900 meters away.
Black Bear and the like would drop with a single shot.
It is said that two years ago, a cowboy in Kansas even used it to accurately take down an Indian chief from 1500 yards (approximately 1372 meters) away.
The disadvantage of this gun was that it could only fire single shots, weighed about 12 pounds, and was 1.2 meters long in total. An ordinary person would need to use a shooting rest to aim well.
The last room contained eight bunk beds, and it was empty.
Henry walked up the stairs, holding two double-action revolvers, his steps steady and unwavering, the sound of his footsteps like a death knell beating in Daysler's heart, who was ambushing at the second-floor stairwell.
He took a deep breath, his left hand supporting his right wrist, a LeMat revolver held steadily in the tiger's mouth of his right hand.
The pistol hammer had been pulled down to shotgun mode.
There was only one chance, a 20-gauge shotgun shell was ready, and he had to blast ten or eight holes in the enemy.
As Henry took the last step around the stair corner, his brow twinged with a faint pain. He took out a bandit's corpse from his space and threw it onto the curved staircase.
"Bang!" With a loud crash, the fresh bandit's corpse was covered in countless dense wounds, bleeding profusely.
"Bang!" Henry flashed out, shooting Daysler in the forehead, causing him to fall backward.
He didn't bother with the vicious bandit's corpse he had just thrown out; after all, that corpse had no bounty.
Henry quickly ran up to the second floor, putting Daysler and the LeMat pistol that had fallen to the ground into his space.
There was no time for a thorough search now; a large group of enemies could arrive at any moment.
There were only four rooms on the second floor. Henry first rushed into what appeared to be the master bedroom, found nothing special, and then quickly entered the study.
This time, Henry quickly noticed something amiss; perhaps due to excessive and prolonged use, the wear marks on the bookshelf switch were simply too obvious.
He probably didn't expect this place to be breached so quickly.
After all, nothing had happened for several years, and things were frequently taken out and put back, so no one would be that cautious.
Opening the secret compartment behind the bookshelf, he found a small safe measuring 8 x 12 x 10 inches inside.
Henry collected the safe, then checked the study again, finding nothing else before quickly exiting.
Of the other two rooms, one had ten iron bunk beds, and the other was a meeting room.
Henry released a chest-high granite stone on the second floor, then stood behind it, holding two double-action revolvers, waiting quietly.
Here, less than 40 meters from the main entrance, Henry's rate of fire with a pistol was much faster than with a rifle.
Moreover, since the main building was the central hub, the guards outside or other responsible parties would surely come to rescue.
At least there was still so much money and so many files here.
Especially the files; there might be many things in them that couldn't see the light of day.
Besides, this was not far from the center of Danfu City; such dense gunshots would quickly attract law enforcement, so their time was running out.
Henry quickly calculated that he had just released 108 men, and now he had 64 empty gray bead shells, 82 empty white bead shells, and 2 empty green bead shells under the release bar—it should be enough.
Soon, in less than a minute, a dozen or so guards poured through the wide-open villa gate, followed by dozens more, all armed with rifles.
"Bang bang bang!" Henry began to fire rapidly.
The fifty-plus guards behind concentrated their fire to suppress Henry, while the fifty or so guards in front charged madly, trying to rush into the main building to make Henry unable to cope with both ends.
Unfortunately, they completely miscalculated this time.
At a distance of nearly 40 meters, it would take the vanguard at least 5 seconds to reach the main building.
And Henry could empty 60 bullets from 5 rounds of dual pistols in 5 seconds, hitting almost every shot at this range.
So the 58 guards firing from behind desperately realized that no matter how much they concentrated their fire, they couldn't kill the guy standing behind the granite cover; only that stone occasionally chipped off tiny fragments.
And the 54 vanguards charging in front were killed one by one on their way in a few seconds, none of them able to enter the main building.
Just then, Henry shouted and fell backward.
Finally, this cockroach, this bedbug, is down!
The 58 guards behind were overjoyed and rushed towards the main building.
Then they despairingly realized that they had only run a dozen meters when the bedbug stood up again, firing dual pistols repeatedly, leaving these guards momentarily unsure whether to continue running forward or stop and exchange fire.
However, Henry would not hesitate; he prioritized shooting the guards at the very front.
"Bang bang bang!" Under the dense gunfire, the guards in front fell one after another like rice stalks cut by a scythe.
Towards the end, a few guards even broke down and turned to flee wildly, but they still couldn't escape the soul-chasing bullets, like a death warrant.
From the moment these 112 guards launched their attack and charge, Henry only took a dozen seconds to take them all down.
The instantaneous weapon swapping in his space, combined with his various talents, allowed him to achieve an effect far exceeding that of later automatic weapons with just two double-action revolvers.
After all, Henry's accuracy was much higher.
