You send in a horde of unarmored dead people to check for traps after you and Diane go in as well. The trip for you to go get an automatic rifle took a while and kind of felt like a walk of shame after you forgot the toilet paper or something. You switch out the shotgun for a rifle, you just can't carry that much.
Your meat+armoredshield (Boy we need a better name for this) should protect you, but it's really hard for you to aim in any kind of way. The rest of the horde follows down the wide hall-way, leading to the smelliest conga line in history.
You are met with a heavy amount of resistance, but they still haven't learned to shoot for the head. You don't really mind. The trap-seekers get killed though. but you can make up the losses from any battle from the soldiers. the wounded zeds go to the back and get replaced anyways.
Zombies usually heal fast in the movies and bad stories told to a bunch of people on the internet.
The fourth wall feels mildly molested and decided that it needs a vacation. It is replaced by another, more willing wall. Lower pay-rates too. Let's call him Sebastion.
The fights start to intensify as you get closer to the core of the base. You go through a large and foreboding door and are met with multiple scared scientists in front of a sort of metal sphere.
Leave! now! We order you t-to get back!
You let zombies loose upon them, and they end up dead.... Except one. He runs off to the controls before any zombie could get a hold on him and started pressing all sort of buttons.
Diane shoots him in the face with her hunting rifle (remember that thing? She took it from the same store you got your revolver from.) but some alarms go off first.
The sphere opens, and you see what's inside.
A young, naked female elf hung up by her limbs by some sort of metal constraints.she also has wires attached to her forehead using some kind of rubber. Diane looks absolutely appalled and disgusted. A computer starts talking.
Subject TW freed under: emergency release. presumed reason: needed heal after hard computing. Subject TW, you will use your healing magic, now. The girl with her mildly purple hair.
I.... don't.... want to conti-..cont-...continue... Please, make it s-stop.
Use your powers. NOW. or compliance will be applied
She young elf tries to mutter something else, but is interrupted by electric shocks! You can actually see the sparks flying! She screams in pain, then the lightning stops.
Comply. Subject TW.
She weakly does a movement, and is then covered by white light. Her burns from the electro-shocks are healed before your eyes.
She can use magic!? That hasn't happened since before the Great Revolution 1500 years ago. Peculiar.
We have to help her! She must have been stuck like this for god knows how long! She pulls out her knife and starts cutting away at the metal parts that hold the constraints. As you don't have a magic knife and Diane would probably be pretty miffed at you if you didn't help, you just hold the girl so she doesn't fall when one of the constraints falls off.
She's loose pretty damn quick. You catch her and she promptly falls unconscious.
Her constraints are cut by Diane and she gets some clothing from some zombies. Not very clean, but at least it's something. you notice she has syringe marks on her wrists.
Explains her state of consciousness, most likely.
I'm going to take my time when we find the leader of this place. Diane says in a way that slightly scares you.

You helped Diane cut her loose because she's your friend. Small downside to getting friends, they affect you sometimes.
