312

After a brief conference with Uncle Jonas and the others, they agree to wait here at the junction while you go off and scout the bridge at Lakeside Village. If it proves safe, you will return and lead them across.

It takes you less than five minutes to reach Lakeside Village and, to your relief, you find it deserted. However, your hopes of an easy crossing are dashed: the bridge across the Trinity no longer exists—it collapsed several years ago.

You are preparing to turn back when you notice an old school bus, almost identical to the colony’s vehicle, lying on its side amid the rubble of a derelict building.

If you wish to investigate the old bus, turn to 85.

If you decide to ignore it and return to the convoy, turn to 224.
