It was noon at that time. The sunlight was piercing through the dense ring of clouds above Saphyr and illuminating the lives of the survivors of the Crimson Apocalypse.
That day, the sunlight was incredibly strong. It seemed about to set fire on the clothes of those who were walking under the sun for too long, which was the case of Rick's group.
They tried their best to hide their body thoroughly in clothing, even their face, so they wouldn't burn their skin too badly. However, this measure to not mess with their bodies was a double-edged blade since it increased the heat two times more.
It worsened because they didn't have their horses anymore, so they couldn't help but walk most of the way. The only horse that remained for them was occupied carrying some heavy bags, which was straining that animal too much already.
