[edit] Walkabout
You crashed your train on the way out of the city, and you arrived in the City 17 Undergound. Try to reach the surface, let Alyx turn off an operatonal force field. You hear Standard Zombies in the next room with a pair of Turrets. The Turrets have no ammo so ignore them. Take out the Zombies, and reprogram the Hopper Mines in the area. Go around the corner to a dark room, use your flashlight by pressing F (default). You find a powerlock, Alyx says you need to find a power box. Use the duct in the back right of you. Crawl through and find a flare to use instead of using your flashlight. Once you find a vent, use the boards to squish a Standard Headcrab. You can't procead the next area without finding a Pistol, look behind a hgate in the right of you where you came in, use the Gravity Gun to get a power battery, a pistol, a shotgun, and some ammo. Shoot the padlock, and press E (default) on the power box and both doors open and the lights turn on. Use the Gravity Gun to move the Car out of the way and prepare to fight more Zombies. Turn left and find a dead citizen with a shotgun, pick it up. Use your flashlight to guide Alyx and you. Once the Zombies are dead, head around the corner and fight a Zombie and some Antlions? The Suppression Field shut down and let the Antlions threw. Once they are dead find another destroyed train. What is that? A Combine Zombie is on the ground, or Zombine is what Alyx calls them. Another Zombine comes with a grenade, and breaks the window so you can prepare yourself to another battle with the new enemy the Zombine. A few Antlions come and try to kill the Zombines, but no luck for them. Its up to you and Alyx to kill them. Go to the other side of the room and fight some Fast Headcrabs and some Barnacles. Go inside a room and operate another power boxm because there is another power lock. Defeat some Zombies and head to the next room with stairs. Find some Poison Headcrabs on top of the stairs. Once the Headcrabs are dead head to another room and try to hold down E (defult) to open a garage door. Then Antlions come from a hole. Antlions will keep comming out of the hole so block it by using the car. Now crank open the garage door and squish the Poison Headcrabs comming threw, hold it till the door has reached fully opened. Let the Barnacles eat some Zombies and Zombines comming, then take down the Barnacles. Go accross the area and threw a door, go upstairs to the next level.
The next area has three Antion holes. Use three cars to block them. The Zombines could be a good distraction to the Antlions. Once your done head up to the third floor and open a gate. Go find a flooded room and prepare for more Zombie and Zombine combat. Then go accross the room and head threw a door to a very dark room. There is a light at the end of the room, it's an elevator! You cna finally head to the surface. The elevator stops and the light goes out. This means the elevaotr is broken. Follow the sparking whire to the Power Box room. Activate the elevaotr and prepare fight Zombines, Zombies, and Fast Zombies. Once the elevator stops you can head back to upper City 17.
