Re: should i use virtual-link in this case?

No.

Virtual links are for connecting disconnected backbones, i.e. area 0s.

If your network looked something like this:

Area0 --- R1 --- Area 1 ---- R2 --- Area 0, then you would need to look at virtual links.

Having disconnected non-backbone areas is not a problem technically, although it can do your head in a bit when you're trying to work out what's going on.
