Well this is just one of those questions we can only speculate about.If there's a safe place, why not continue your civ there? However, they did say that the species has to have sufficent Mass and Cognative functions, and in Halo and Halo 2 flood don't touch grunts (perhaps just a programming decision) so either they're too stupid or too small to be assimlated. Therefore, it's plausible that the forerunners made primitive versions (de evolution or simply tossed some of their young onto earth?) of themselves on earth so that the flood could not attack them. I really don't know, no one does.
