To me, it should have more congealed blood and open wounds with shreds of skin missing, because all in all, a flood is a zombie, and all zombies need some gore.
The Flood organism is NOT a zombie. The Flood MAKES zombies. Reanimated corpses decay around the infection form inside, but the infection form itself does not decay. Pure forms are not zombies either, since they are actual Flood tissue, not reanimated flesh.
