<description class="blurb">
<p>You are Cal Phoenix, the Freeway Warrior, champion and protector of Dallas Colony One. The third stage of your life-or-death exodus to the California coast takes your colony of survivors across the wastelands of New Mexico and Arizona, a region still blighted by lethal radioactivity. Can you find the safe route through to the sanctuary of Tucson, or will you and your people perish in the desolation of <strong><cite>The Omega Zone</cite></strong>?</p>

One of the men is carrying a machine pistol, the other a long-handled flashlight.</p>
<p><quote>Run for it!</quote> you hiss, pointing towards the ruins. Knott turns and sprints away. As soon as he is clear of the ditch, the dogs begin to bark wildly, alerting their handlers to your position. You scramble out and follow your partner, praying that you will reach cover before the clansmen see you and open fire. Your prayers are answered. In his haste the clansman drops his flashlight, and before he can retrieve it and switch it on, you follow Knott through the open door of a derelict building.</p>
<p><quote>We stand a better chance if we split up,</quote> you say, casting an anxious glance over your shoulder at the yellow light that is now streaming through the doorway. <quote>But remember<ch.emdash/>meet up at the bridge as planned.</quote></p>
<p>The torchlight illuminates the interior sufficiently for you to be able to make out two possible exits: a carpeted staircase leading to the first floor, and another leading down to the basement.</p>
<data>
<p>You give your enemy your undivided attention, for he is a formidable opponent. Also, he presents a difficult target: he is partially hidden behind the brick pillar of a hardware store, and his black suit merges readily with the shadows. Despite these disadvantages, you know that this may be your only chance to put an end to his pursuit and avenge the lives of your three dead comrades.</p>
- <p>You watch as be completes the reloading of his rifle. Then he shoulders the weapon and takes up a pair of binocular-like field glasses, which hang from a strap around his neck. He places these bulky lenses to his visor and methodically scans the surrounding rooftops. This seems a curious thing to do as the buildings are very close: surely he does not need binoculars to be able to see if anyone is standing on top of them?</p>

<p>You prepare your own weapon and get ready to take aim. Then a chill stabs your heart as he scans the first floor windows of the courthouse and you realize that he is not using a regular pair of binoculars: they are sophisticated, high-resolution, image intensifiers.</p>
<p>Immediately you duck back from the window, but you cannot help but fear that he has already located your position.</p>

<p>Your engine responds and you surge ahead, avoiding Mad Dog<ch.apos/>s attack by a few feet. You glance in your mirror to see him swerve across the freeway, but his car is equipped with a supercharged V-12 engine, more powerful than your own, and within a few seconds he comes roaring alongside. As he draws level, his electric passenger window glides down and you find yourself staring at the barrel of his machine pistol.</p>

+ <p>The tracks lead to a drug store at the centre of the town. It looks as if Kate parked your car here and went inside the store, for there are two lines of footprints in the dust, running from the street to the front door.</p>
<p>The others wait in the truck while you enter the store. Following in Kate<ch.apos/>s footsteps, you arrive at some empty places on the store<ch.apos/>s shelves. She was after medical supplies, although she was selective about what she took. The shelves still hold a few medicines and other medical supplies<ch.emdash/>enough for two Medi-kit units. (If you wish to keep these, remember to mark them on your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>.)</p>
<p>Having satisfied your curiosity, you go back to the truck and tell the others what you have found. Captain Frankland is anxious to reach Lordsburg before dark, so he orders Knott to turn the truck around and head back to Interstate 10.</p>
<choice idref="sect33"><link-text>Turn to 33</link-text>.</choice>
<p>As the dust-blown stores and houses of the derelict Mexican town trail away behind the truck, it becomes obvious that the place is deserted. Knott arrives at the same conclusion and decreases speed as he prepares to turn off the main highway. The truck crosses a bridge then swings to the right and stops beside a store that lost its roof long ago.</p>
<p><quote>They<ch.apos/>re still with us, captain,</quote> said Haskell, staring across the dry river bed at the group of headlights, as the bikers enter the town.</p>
<p><quote>Not for long,</quote> Frankland growls, his voice harsh and determined. <quote>Spread out and find some cover. We<ch.apos/>ll take <ch.rsquot/>em as they come over the bridge.</quote></p>
- <p>Quickly you move away from the truck and scour the darkness, straining your eyes to find a place to hide that also has an unobstructed view of the bridge. You can see only two such places, both far from ideal. One is a gas pump, standing on the forecourt of a gas station directly opposite the bridge: the other is an industrial trash can, abandoned at the side of the bridge<ch.apos/>s exit ramp.</p>

<p><quote>OK, Cal,</quote> says the captain. <quote>Me and the sergeant<ch.apos/>ll take the scenic route. We<ch.apos/>ll go first. Give us time to clear the zone then wait five minutes before you and Knott make your move. Is that clear?</quote></p>
<p><quote>No problem,</quote> you reply, confidently. <quote>We<ch.apos/>ll meet up at the toll bridge at 0100 hours.</quote></p>
- <p>With bated breath you watch as the two soldiers slip over the perimeter wall and crawl away from the safety of Fort Bliss. Expertly they merge with the broken wasteland so that you soon find it impossible to track their path, leading to an elevated section of Highway 54. Fifteen minutes later, all is still as quiet as the grave. You are sure that they have made it across the zone by now, and so you motion to Marine Knott to follow as you lower yourself head-first over the rampart and propel yourself across the rocky ground using only your elbows and knees.</p>
- <p>The faint moonlight serves both to help and hinder your progress as you inch your way towards the Montana Road, a highway that runs 100 yards in front of, and parallel to, the clansmen<ch.apos/>s position. Every move you make is slow and deliberate as though the ground were strewn with eggs, so urgent is the need to prevent dust from betraying your position. Eventually you reach a shallow ditch bordering the highway and you use it as cover as you advance towards a group of ruined buildings at the edge of the city. You are less than twenty yards from the ruins when you are frozen by the sound of howling dogs. They are clan bloodhounds and they have picked up your scent on the warm night air.</p>

<p>His death travels like a shock wave through the other clansmen, bringing them to an abrupt halt. They abort their attack and fall back, a few of them stopping just long enough to pick up and bear his lifeless body away from the street.</p>
<p>While there is a lull in the firing, you seize the chance to help Knott and Captain Frankland clear away the debris that is blocking your escape. A thick, wooden pole, which once supported overhead electricity cables in this part of town, is jammed between the wheel and the truck<ch.apos/>s front fender. With your help they are able to shift it, and Knott returns to the cab and starts the engine first time. Then, as he brings the truck over the mound, you and the captain leap onto the tailgate and pull yourselves aboard.</p>
<p>The street ends at a piece of wasteland but a few hundred yards beyond it lies a highway running east to west. The captain peers through the cab<ch.apos/>s partition window and gives an ironic laugh when he sees the highway.</p>
