The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
I'm a little confused on the party's strategy, and could use clarification.
It sounds like @Neurotic (Lumrolur) and @Necropolitan (Zeth) have rolled Stealth checks to ambush the zombies (i.e. ambush meaning to strike first)...

AFAICT those are two distinct and exclusive strategies, unless I'm misunderstanding your intent?
