Presumably the same would happen for any other Halo Installation that was destroyed. Plus, Installation 00 was already constructing a backup Installation 04, so the Flood wouldn't have been safe for long.Had they gone to Installation 04 after the events of CE, they would have survived the rings but have nothing to feed on, because everything else in the galaxy would be dead and there appear to be no known lifeforms in the space around Alpha Halo. This means that unless all the rest of the Halos also accounted for the area covered by installation 04, (in which case, why did they build installation 04 in the first place?) there is a section of the galaxy that is no longer within the "blast radius" of any existing Halos (in which case, why couldn't the Flood or any other sentient being just flee to Threshold or some other area that used to be within 04's blast radius?) But at the end of the first game, one of the Halos (04) was destroyed. The purpose of the Halos was to purge the galaxy of all living beings of sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood.
