Easy solution to your problem. Remember that enemies do not fire at you when you are beyond a certain distance away. Depending on what you are carrying, weapon wise, you can take them out and never even get shot at.
If you have a Magnum, use the scope to stay far enough away that they do not shoot at you and take them out. If you are low on Magnum ammo, there is some in the cache near the cave. If you would rather man up and be a hero, use one of the plasma pistols laying about, go closer (risking some shots being fired at you) and use individual shots (no overcharges) to take out the flood. If you are looking for an approach in between, use the Ghost from the hill you just took the covies out at firing from far enough away to be able to dodge any shots they take.
Yes, there are a bunch of flood with RL's, but they are pretty easily taken out if you use strategy, rather than straight forward brawn. Slow down, think, and you will find it rather fun to find several different ways to tackle the situation.
