The Combine haven't been patrolling at street level here. Their foot soldiers are needed elsewhere, and anyway there were headcrab zombies wandering about. The snipers could take care of those when they became an issue. On the other hand, no one had much wanted to deal with zombies coming after the actual foot soldiers, so the last few ranks of Overwatch had taken a few steps. Dinah may find, as she makes her way down Linden Street, that there's a faint chirping noise coming from some oddly metallic lumps scattered about the place.
