abhinaya and Saravanan leave for a library in Bengaluru in a card access cycle which is popular over Bengaluru.

They cross a place not looking at it.

But in that place, Pradip is watching out of the windows at the roads and the different kinds of peoples on roads.

The foreign scientists ask Pradip why he called them urgently and Pradip explains that the bacteria has adapted to our living conditions in a short span of time.

The foreign scientists give applause for Pradip and Pradip gives them a file and video clip.

He instructs the foreign scientists to read the file and watch the video and hands over his laptop.

The file says that these bacteria have the tendency to control the person infected by it and feeds on his blood till the plasma is supplying nutrients to blood and the person soon hunts for other person's blood if their plasma is not supplying nutrients 

Pradip assures this bacteria then developed photosynthesis to live but still blood sucking is in its DNA.

The foreign scientists ask is it zombie kind of thing?.

Pradip looks at his hand which turned pale and continues,yes like that and this actually kills the person by making them sleep.

Pradip laughs and I named this bactetia Zzz.

Few hours back:

Pradip researched on bacteria for a week and noted its properties.

Pradip zooms in the bacteria they gave him and he sees it shrinking and understands the bacteria gave birth to its offspring and it died and this offspring is shrinking and fighting for life.

Pradip then sees a mosquito with blood in it falling on the glass plate.

The bacteria feed on the mosquito's blood and develop again and produce offspring.

Pradip then transforms this bacteria into his body and observes its activities.

now,

Pradip's skin turns pale and his ears stop working.

His eyes to get dry.

He slowly walks to the sofa where a scientist was asking him doubts and pradip bites his neck and hand continuously sucking blood from him.

The scientist pushes Pradip and Pradip falls down.

this bitten scientist feels something strange in his body while other scientists run locking the meeting hall door.

These other scientists inform their head and rushes to the police station to inform it.

The police inspector after verifying these scientist's identity informs the commissioner.

The commissioner informs the state government which informs central government which arranges for a group of scientists to work on this.

Inspector informs the commissioner, the two Zzz carriers are killed.

The inspector reaches his home and cleans his shoes which contain some blood drops.

a small amount of blood from the shoe enters the wound cut in the inspector's hand.

The commissioner calls the inspector and bashes him as thirty more carriers have formed now.

Inspector asks sorry sir and enters his bed room speaks with his wife and has a look at his sleeping baby anu.

Inspector feels some strangeness in his body and sits at a far away place from his wife and daughter with the gun at the back of his hand.

Inspector sees a small pale colour in his skin and understands that the bacteria should have entered his body.

Inspector tells his wife to leave this place now with their daughter.

Inspector lies he will come soon and sends both out and locks the door.
