Go outside, see what's the deal with the highways. How obstructed/collapsed are they? Is it possible to use these for their intended purpose or did the time rendered them useless as pretty much everything else?
The only parts of the highway which remain standing are the giant concrete supports, with the occasional crumbling bit of road dangling from the top. And even these are scattered erratically around, with one standing amid several fallen or even smashed apart.

The entire rest of the chapter deals with the idea of spreading rumors about a test subject in order to use this capacity of belief and myth to influence their form. It states that this method is ineffective because rumors and myths which lack any sort of visual feedback have a very limited power of change. The author states that this is probably because the individuals don't fully believe what they are told. The man who swallows a sword in front of a crowd may find himself able to chew one the next evening, but a rumor about an unknown person performing great feats in a land never heard of by the listener will rarely, if ever, bring results.
Scout around the warbeast, looking for shiny and/or ominous objects.
There's plenty of shiny things, though they're all just broken shards of glass and a few uncorroded bits of chrome dug out of the ground by the scraping tread of the beast. Maybe useful to a scrap dealer, but not to you,
Poke around in the remains of the dresser with the end of my rifle, and double check that there's nothing worth looting in there. Then, head outside behind John..
Anything of value in there has long since decayed.
