"Don't be ridiculous! What could those machines possibly do?" Wilde wouldn't believe Lyton.
Lyton was confident in his argument. "I'm telling the truth!"
He raised his voice and waved his hands around as he explained to Wilde. "I saw them walk away from the IVE Extractors. Immediately after, our ark exploded. The explosions only happened in zones where people have left the devices. People in eighteen zones did that, and we have eighteen damaged areas. Why do you think the other zones are still safe?"
The look on Wilde's face became more solemn, and he asked, "Are you sure about that?"
"Absolutely!"
Lyton went on, "We both know well what kind of materials we used to build this ark. How can it be more durable than other countries'? Their arks couldn't withstand the strike of a single meteorite piece, but ours has been fine until just then. Isn't that enough to prove what I said? Wilde, I'm very certain that the IVE Extractors are the only things that have kept us alive!
