While Alyx and the rebels work on the car, Gordon disables a Combine Autogun that is hampering Resistance movement. In the meantime, a rebel technician repairs the car and installs a radar detector that picks up Resistance caches. After the car is fixed, Alyx and Gordon continue to White Forest, traveling through the zombie-infested countryside and retrieving supplies from several hidden caches.
An enormous Combine ambush is laid for them at the White Forest Inn, but after defeating Hunters, soldiers, and Elites, they approach the White Forest base. They witness a dropship being downed by rebels, however the Strider that it was carrying awakens. Dog arrives and defeats the Strider, and Alyx challenges him to a race to the base.

- Loose Floorboard Hiding Spot: One of the secret stashes is hidden in a small shed, but all you can find in said shed is a sawblade embedded in the floor. Soon after, a hoard of zombies attacks the player, and some might try to rip up the sawblade with the Gravity Gun for use as an Improvised Weapon, only to pull up the floorboard along with it, revealing a veritable jackpot of supplies hidden underneath. Though you'd need to break open the rest of the floor (ideally with the crowbar) to get everything.
